(Char's POV)
I'm in the kitchen making breakfast ready for work, assuming Mia is still asleep upstairs. As I finish pouring my coffee, I feel a pair of arms wrap around my waist.. Mia's arms. I put the mug back down as her hands stroke me up and down my waist and she kisses my neck softly. "Good morning Mi Amor," she whispers in my ear before continuing to lay gentle kisses all over my neck. I just let her hold me, melting herself into the hug and murmuring nonsense into my ear and kisses the edge of it. "Good morning," I giggle at the sensation of her neck kisses. "What are you doing up so early?"
"I wanted to see you before you leave for work bellisima," she hums into my neck before kissing it again. "Go back to sleep love," I tell her turning around slightly to kiss her cheek. "You didn't need to wake up bless you I'll see you later." "Later is too long," she grumbles cutely kissing my neck again. "You smell nice by the way." "Thank you," I chuckle feeling my cheeks start to turn pink. She keeps kissing me down my neck before taking her mouth close to my ear and slowly whispering "je vous aime." My cheeks get even hotter and redder. I try and hide my face in my hands in embarrassment.
Mia just chuckles and pulls my hands away from my face before spinning me around to face her. She brings her thumbs around my waist and gently strokes them, looking into my eyes and back at my lips, my cheeks getting redder at each glance she makes. "Mi amor," she whispers again before kissing my lips softly. "Is there a reason you're speaking..." I start, my sentence interrupted by her lips on mine. "What was that sweetheart?" She asks as we release, holding her hand under my chin and pinching my red cheeks. "You're so cute when you're all flustered." I kiss her again, my heart audibly thumping like it's going to pop out my chest.
"You're so annoying Amelia Mae," I sigh. "Why's that?" She questions still stroking my cheeks with her thumb. "You're making me late to work because you decide you want to be all cute and this morning." She glances at the time, hurriedly kissing me once more. "You won't be late baby I promise just one more kiss." I sigh and kiss her again. She holds my waist to pull me closer, making the single kiss last as long as possible before reluctantly pulling away from my lips. "I'll see you later sweetheart." She kisses the centre of my forehead gently before leaning into my ear and whispering "Mi amor."
I'm left a flustered, blushing mess as she leaves, my face almost matching her hair colour. I eventually manage to grab my stuff and head out the door to drive to work. I fiddle with my necklace which says "Mia" on the front before I start the car. I give it a quick kiss and smile to myself at how lucky I am that she's my wife. I look in the rear mirror and my cheeks are still bright red. Once I get into the work, I check my phone in the staff room quickly before my shift starts to see a text from Mia. "See you later, je vous amie xxx." My cheeks go bright red again and I look around the room praying nobody walks in right now and sees me like this.
I release my teeth from involuntarily biting the corner of my lip, hardly noticing it until my lips feel all numb from biting them a little too long. I text her back quickly, "I love you too but please distracting me at work Amelia Mae xxx." She replies with another three Xs and I put my phone in my locker and go downstairs to start my shift.
I turn on my phone again during my lunch break to see several messages from Mia, complimenting me and calling me beautiful in all sorts of different languages and ways. Some I don't recognise straight away so I have to Google translate. The final one says a simple "I love you xx." I text her "I love you" back before Sorscha comes into the staff room. "Hi Charlie are you ok you look a little ummm... red." "Shit," I mutter to myself under my breath. I open the camera on my phone. I almost gasp as I see just how hot and red I'd gotten. I was matching the colour of my wife's hair and I kept going redder by the second with embarrassment. "Ummm... yeah," I say awkwardly trying to play it off cool. "I'm a little... sweaty actually, does get a bit hot in here doesn't it?"
"Sure it's nothing on your phone?" Sorscha jokes sitting herself down opposite me. "No," I deny. "It's nothing on my phone why would I be red from..." She chuckles. "Charlie surely you've not forgotten who you're married to?" I swallow my breath and look away from her, wishing the ground could just swallow me whole. I swiftly text Mia again under the table. "You little bitch xxx." "You love it sweetheart xx," she replies almost instantly. The annoying thing about that comment is it's absolutely true. Mia's a huge tease and can definitely be mean but I love her for it... like a lot.
I'm so caught up in Mia's messages that for a split second I forget Sorscha's still sat opposite me. "You don't have to hide anything from me Charlie," she laughs. "And anyway everyone here has been around you long enough to know you're an awful liar." I bite my tongue because I know she's definitely right. I just roll my eyes jokingly and take my eyes back to my phone as Sorscha leaves the staff room. I slump back into my seat and sigh to myself, wishing the day would speed up already so I can be at home and see Mia again.
——-
A few hours later I'm finally done with my shift and I head home again. I smile at myself as I read yet another message from Mia as I'm about to leave. "I miss your pretty face xx." "Coming home now xx," I text her quickly before driving off back home. As I turn the key to let myself in, Mia's already stood at the doorway waiting for me. She pulls me in for a kiss against the door hastily, her hands wrapped around my waist as she presses her body against mine. I tangle my fingers in her hair to pull her nearer, gasping for air once we finally release. "How was your day?" She breathes. "I really missed you mi amor." "Is there a reason you won't stop complimenting me in random languages today?" I laugh.
"No reason," she smirks lifting my chin up for another kiss. "I just really love you and I want to make sure you know that." Her palms strokes my red cheek. "I love your little blushed face it's so cute. You've gone the same colour as my hair sweetheart, that's so adorable." She kisses the tip of my nose cutely before pulling me away from the door and into a tight embrace. "Mia I'm tired," I groan over her shoulder. Mia kisses my forehead gently. "Aww I bet you are you've had a long day. Would some cuddles in bed help?" "Always," I smile.
Mia picks me up bridal style, both of us giggling as she carries me all the way upstairs and drops me onto our bed. She snuggles herself up next to me under the covers, her arms wrapped around my waist as she plants several kisses on my ears and the top of my head. "I love you," she whispers after each kiss. I relax myself into her arms, smiling at the sensation of her running her fingers through my hair combined with the smell of her perfume that lingers from her neck. "I love holding you," she mumbles softly. "It's my favourite thing." "It's mine too," I smile. "You really embarrassed me earlier making me blush like that at work." "Sorry," she giggles before kissing my forehead gently. "I had a lot of fun doing that." "I'm sure you did Amelia Mae," I sigh teasingly. Mia presses a soft, sweet kiss onto my neck. "Mi amor," she whispers faintly.
