"I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out."
- Elizabeth Barrett Browning
A loud thud was heard throughout the household when Orm, who was too stunned to even speak, pushed the Attorney off the bed.
What the heck? She's sure as the water is wet that she fell asleep in the living room last night, curled onto the Ling's sofa and most importantly, alone. So why would she woke up with her ex lover's face inches away from her and with Ling's eyes looking as if she's her whole world?
"Ow. Shoot!" A painful groaned from the Attorney reeled her back into reality. How many times did this jerk lose consciousness yesterday? She couldn't even count anymore as she hurried to stand up and and go to the Attorney who is still on the floor.
"Why are you molesting me early in the morning?!" She huffed as she offer her hand to the Attorney who without any hesitancy, accepted it to pull herself up from the floor. She was still rubbing her butt that first hit the floor, but a ghost of a smile was playing on her lips.
"So what time is appropriate?" The Attorney asked seriously, and if there had been a nearby cliff, Orm would have pushed her there.
She was now glaring at the Attorney, but along with her glare, she quickly conducted her physical survey. First thing she noticed is how handsome the Attorney looks like specially in the morning. Her dark hair was all tousled up and her eyes still puffy from sleeping but it's those details that even made her handsome and she realized that this is the first time where they slept together, like literally. Orm shook her head, her mind is wandering into dangerous places and force herself to focus.
The Attorney's not as pale as she was yesterday. The jerk looked like a monochrome. There's a hint of rosy tint on her cheeks right now and she was obviously energetic when she woke up.
"Shut up. I fell asleep last night, were you able to ate the porridge and take your meds?"
Ling bit her lip and nodded.
Orm huffed and looked at her suspiciously. She had never thought how the reserved and ever serious Attorney actually had a funny bone in her. "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Ling shrugged and get a pen and paper from her desk. She looked at the Attorney curiously and was wondering what shenanigans she were up to when Ling showed her what was written.
"You told me to shut up."
Lord, have mercy on her. Her hands were itching to grab the Attorney and pull her hair out especially when she was grinning at her as if she was so proud of herself.
"You already had your quota yesterday. You're pushing my limits." She warned the Attorney and approached her. Ling automatically stopped smiling in fear that Orm might leave, so she closed her eyes as the woman approached her, preparing herself for anything coming from Orm only to feel Orm's soft hands on her forehead.
