The morning sun illuminates the lids of my eyes, and I flutter them open. Immediately I'm greeted by the presence of warmth behind me, and Alex's strong arm draped over mine as I lay on my side. I feel Alex shift behind me and his lips graze against my ear, sending chills through my body, "You awake?" His husky, morning filled voice whispers into my ear. His arm tightens as he pulls me gently me, the gap between our bodies no longer existent.

"Yeah, I just woke up." I speak, my voice barely audible as my cheeks tingle with heat. My eyes shift down to my wrist, the bracelet he gifted me last night shining as a bit of light reflects off it. I smile as I look at the little charm hanging from it and laid flat against the top of my wrist.

"You smell so good this morning." And like a dog, Alex nuzzles his face into the crook of my neck, inhaling deeply. My body tenses initially as I feel his skin touch mine. I take a deep breath, exhale it, and relax into his touch.

I reach my hand back and place it on his forehead, giving his face a gentle shove backwards. "What—like sweat and late night erotic activities?" I tease, and Alex suddenly grabs ahold of my arm flipping me over to face him.

"Maybe, or perhaps I've always like the way you smell?" He counters, and I rub my hands over my face, in an attempt to hide the obvious flush of my face. Alex grabs ahold of both them, lowering my hands from my face.  His gaze focuses on mine, filled with warmth and amusement, and his lips curl into a charming, dimple filled smile. I admire his face as it sits close to mine, his alluring features captivating me just a few inches away.

Alex's eyes so close are like a deep  pool of molten brown, so deep I feel like I'm drowning as I look into them. His hair sits in a chaotically sexy mess atop his head, the waves of locks taking control, and sending strands into various directions.
His face is finely shaped: a non-prominent nose peeks from his face slightly, cheeks that are full, and a contrastingly sharp jaw line cases the lower face of his profile. His complexion is smooth like fresh paint, until you get to his stubble across his chin and jaw. Lastly, are his lips, the perfect complement to his face. His top lip is thinner, a distinct cupids bow at the peak; while his lower lip is slightly jutted out and more plump.

I'm snapped back to reality as Alex places his soft lips on mine, so soft and sweet...a tender kiss. Just as soon as the kiss starts, it ends, and he pulls away gently, sitting up in my bed. "So there were some things I wanted to discuss last night, before we got... distracted." He turns his head to me, and I sit up partially, my elbows resting on the bed.

"And that would be?" I question.

"Money, bills, your living situation."

I push myself up and join him, sitting criss-cross beside him. "I'm not sure what you want me to do about any of those, especially since you asked me to leave my job...and I listened." I blurt out quietly with all honesty, filter non existent.

I glance over, Alex's expression holds unease, his brow slightly furrowed.
"Right-" he speaks, as he shifts on the bed, "well my plan was, and still is to set up an account for you. One where we both have access, and I'd make sure to have funds in there for you, for whatever you need. And as for the living situation—" he bites at his lip for a moment, "I was hoping, I could persuade you to let me move you into somewhere a bit more...spacious."

Although this apartment is small, and lacking of any evident value, it's still mine, and I've worked hard to get it. At the same time though, he's right, I should probably be somewhere larger. Somewhere I can actually accommodate for a baby, and have more functionality.
