Gilded Obsession

Chapter 13

I can't believe I had her in my bed for hours and I didn't even touch her. Not even once. It's not what I am used to, but it was kind of... Nice? Comforting maybe?

I didn't sleep a whole lot though. Her nearness made me feel wide awake. Besides, having her so close to me, I couldn't do anything other than stare at her. All night.

Her features were difficult to make out in the dark, and she moves a lot in her sleep, so her face wasn't always turned my way, but I couldn't stop myself from looking and taking it all in.

It was very different from watching her through the screen as she works at the bar. My bar.

She's working tonight, in just a few hours, so I am sure it won't be long until she finds out that I now own that place. I wonder if she'll be mad. I bet she's hot when she's mad though, just as long as it doesn't cause her to ignore me. I can deal with a little anger, but I will lose my mind if she tries ignoring me. I won't let that happen. That would be unacceptable.

I should probably get some sleep myself now as well. I don't want to be unable to stay awake tonight while my sweet angel is working. I now have a new reason for watching her; what if she needs me again? I must make sure I am there if she does.

I put my pajamas back on while eyeing my Goddess' discarded set. Would it be weird if I wore those? They really are my favorite pair. I once again did not lie to her. I suppose it would be too odd... It's unfortunate.

I fold the pair neatly, then slide under the sheets and melt into my mattress.

I am no stranger to staying up all night, but I usually get to sleep by the morning. Right now, it's well into the afternoon.

A lovely smell surrounds me, and I bury my face into the pillow my angel slept on, inhaling deeply. Delicious.

It doesn't take long for me to fall asleep, surrounded by the smell of my sweetness' shampoo and with the pillow she rested on hugged to my chest. And I barely even question how comfortable that's making me feel.

I wake up to the sound of my phone chirping. A sound that used to set me off, but now it only sets my heart off into a fast pitter pattering.

I pick up the device and check the time. Shoot, it's past my precious angel's starting time at work, I overslept. I guess that's instant karma for me turning her alarm off. I didn't mean to upset her or freak her out though. It's just that she so badly needed a lot more sleep than she was allowing herself to get. I would have woken her up in time for her to get to work though... Probably.

Rushing out of bed and to my computer to click open the live camera footage, I open her message with a smile. Because even if this is the time she finds out I own the bar and am technically her boss and she's angry about it, she's still talking to me, and I'll take any attention of hers she's willing to give me.
