A sense of warmth filled me as I flipped over and wrapped a blanket closer to myself. The bed beneath me bent inward at my weight and I groaned suddenly uncomfortable.

Suddenly, I bolted upright. A bed? I fell asleep on the couch with James and I was still in the clothes I had worn yesterday, but my hair-which was in a bun last night- framed my face, a heavy dark curtain making my skin look even more pale than it truly is.

I looked around. I was in our room and the space on the bed next to me looked rumpled, like someone was sleeping there and had just gotten up. On the wrinkled covers was a note. I picked it up and scanned over the words.

Good Morning, Sleeping Beauty. Had a blast last night. We should do it more often.

Love, your Prince Charming,

James.

P.S. You snore…loudly.

P.P.S. We’re going to the mall today. Gonna buy you some new clothes and make you look decent enough to be seen with me. :)  just kidding.

I felt a flush of anger, and a flutter of my heart. Damned prep. Always putting me down. I know I didn’t snore. And as for his not wanting to be seen around me dressed like I do, screw him. Either way, I kept the note and put it under my pillow, wanting to keep his handwriting close to me.

I got up out of bed-staggering a little as I did- and went into the bathroom. As soon as I opened the door, steam enveloped me and I heard James curse.

Quickly-without pulling back the curtains of the shower (just the thought of seeing James naked made my stomach clench, but I ignored it anyway)- I ran to the toilet, which was directly across the shower area. James head poked out as I pulled my pants down and relieved myself.

“What are you doing?” James demanded as I grabbed some toilet paper.

“What does it look like I’m doing? I’m going pee.” I replied, tiredly. An incredulous look passed over James’ face.

“Do you have to do that now? While I’m in the shower?!?”

Slowly, I nodded, trying to keep my mind off of the fact that I could see his chest, which was now wet with water. James gave an exasperated sigh, and disappeared back into his shower.

Wiping, I pull back up my underwear and wash my hands. When I finished, I make sure that the bathroom door is closed and I leave to go to the kitchen in search of some food.

Going to the refrigerator, I pulled a carton of eggs out and cracked two of them, making myself some scrambled eggs. I put toast into the toaster and poured myself a large glass of milk when they were done.

Just as I was about to put the food in my mouth, James walked in and eyed my plate. Walking toward it, he started licking his lips, but stopped when he saw my threatening glare.

"Look, I know we're gonna get married and all, but if yuou expect me to play the loving wife who makes breakfast for you, you're kidding yourself."

I smiled when James shrugged nonchalantly and walked toward the refrigerator.

"It was worth a try," he said, and pulled out two eggs from the fridge with a loud yawn. He also pulled out a bag from the freezer that made me forget about the food in front of me.
