V & V - Rageous Rageon Rise

Two Car Rides

Dom POV:

I wake up to Mateo shifting. I slowly open my eyes and take a deep breath before relaxing my body again. Mateo shifts again and sighs as he snuggles closer. I gently rub his back, lightly brushing my fingers over his shirt.

Dom: "Good morning."

Mateo: "Good morning."

I like his voice even better as he speaks. I love the rasp... and it just sounds really good in the morning when he sounds sleepy. Mateo sighs and sits up before rubbing his eyes and holding his hand at his head. He looks out the window and blinks a few times before stretching. He turns to me with a sleepy smile and lays back down.

Mateo: "I thought in my head to get up. But... I like this."

He goes back to cuddling me, making me smile.

Dom: "I like it too. We can maybe stay here for a minute or two."

Mateo: "Mm."

I hold him and rub my fingers at his side, being gentle, really enjoying the small gesture. Eventually, Mateo sits up, looking more awake.

Mateo: "I will be back. I have to take medicine."

I nod and watch as he leaves. I get up and crack my back, my body feeling pretty good from sleeping here last night. I don't know what it was precisely about sleeping here at the ranch, but I honestly had a good time.

I stand and look around. Huh... maybe I should be nice and make the bed? That's probably what I should be doing. I mean, how else do you say thank you for letting me sleepover?

I make his bed and fold my clothes from yesterday. I can bring him back the clothes I'm wearing once I get them washed. Mateo returns, though he seems sad.

Dom: "You okay?"

Mateo: "Si. My head just hurts. It happens with the medicine."

Dom: "Oh, I'm sorry."

Mateo shakes his head and gives me a small smile.

Mateo: "Don't be sorry. I am used to it."

I nod and look at him as he walks up to me.

Mateo: "I am going to give you food."

He takes my hand and leads me out of the bedroom. We walk to a new section of the ranch I haven't seen yet. It's really pretty decorated, with pots and plants everywhere. I'm taken to a beautiful kitchen and am happy as he turns and looks up at me.

Mateo: "Que quieres? I will make you what you want."

Dom: "Anything is fine, thank you."

Mateo nods and walks me outside. He pulls my chair out and sits me down, then pats my head very gently before going back inside. Even though it was a small gesture, I find it rather cute.

He's sweet that way, with the little touches he does. As I sit and admire the nature of the patio, Mateo returns with a coffee cup and a plate full of pastries. He very kindly serves it to me, making me feel bad.

Dom: "You didn't have to bring this out for me! I should be helping you! I'm your guest!"

Mateo: "Yes, my guest. It means I give to you so you have a good time."

He smirks and pats my hand.

Mateo: "Take a drink. What is your thought?"

I sip the coffee and am pleasantly surprised by how chocolatey the coffee is.
