My Life With a Gangster

Chapter 3

LEXI POV 

   I woke up to Kole shifting in his sleep. He had his arms wrapped tightly around me, my head was still on his chest from when we fell asleep. I looked up at his face studying how handsome features. I stretched my body as much as I could without trying to disturb him. A sore feeling spread from my abdomen down my legs causing the memories from last night to flash back in my mind. I felt my cheeks get flushed at the thought, along with a little bit of nervousness since that was my first time ever doing anything like it. 

   I can say though, it was amazing. I feel even closer to him than I did before which I didn't even think was possible. I don't know if it made me love him more, but something shifted. 

  Suddenly I had the urge to pee, so I gently eased my way out of his grip before heading to the bathroom. When I was done, I decided to brush my teeth and hop in the shower. The warm water felt good on my muscles. I'm probably more sore than usual since I was already going through physical therapy but I don't care. I'd do it over and over again. After finishing my routine I shut the water off before wrapping myself in a towel. I brushed my hair and headed towards our closet. 

  I peeked to see if Kole was still sleeping on my walk there and he was. So, I quietly got dressed and put a little makeup on. My stomach started growling while I was finishing up, after checking the clock I see its now noon. Wow, I can't think of the last time he slept in between work and all his meetings. That's when the idea of making breakfast popped in my head. I haven't done much of anything like that lately from being in the hospital and recovery.

   It's time for me to do some stuff for him for a change. 

KOLE POV

  My phone ringing forced me to open my eyes. I ignored it rolling over and reaching for Lexi only to feel her side of the bed was empty. I sat straight up as worry crept over me while I glanced around the room for her. Once I realized she wasn't in here I reached for my phone and ran over to the elevator hitting the 1st floor button. 

  On the way down I noticed 3 missed calls from Robby and a call from my dad and my mom. Before I could focus on any of that I had to make sure Lexi was here and safe. As soon as the elevator door opened the smell of cooking became apparent. It eased my worry as I made my way to the kitchen. 

  Lexi was in the middle of fanning smoke coming from the stove. I couldn't help but smirk at her attempt to cook, and also from what now smelt like burnt bacon. She quickly shut the stove off and moved the pans over. 

  "Shit!" she said in a slightly raised voice. 

  I crept up behind her wrapping my arms around her, kissing her on her cheek. 

"Good morning beautiful" 

  "You should be saying afternoon" she joked as she turned around wrapping her arms around my neck with a smirk. 

  "What time is it?" I asked, realizing I didn't even pay attention to the time when I was checking my phone. 

  "Almost 1" she replied, placing a small kiss on my lips. 

  "Damn I can't remember the last time I slept that long" 

  "I was trying to let you rest and make breakfast but as you can see and smell I haven't gotten any better than the first time." She said with a little laugh. 

  "Its fine baby I love you as you are. Besides, who needs breakfast when its lunch time anyways" I winked. 

  "So what do you want to do? Order something? Because that works for me" she replied.
