The Desirable Man Down The Hall

Chapter 5 ~ The Morning After

I wake up, but keep my eyes closed. I could feel my head pounding.

'It feels like my heart is inside my head, ugh hurts so much.' I think to myself.

I grunt and slowly open my eyes. Looking around the room, I'm in sure where I am. I sit straight up, ignoring the ache in my head. I look around frantically, my heart pace slowly speeding up. But all my worries went to rest as I looked to my right and saw the most gorgeous man laying in bed next to me, asleep. He was so cute when he's sleeping.
I let out a sigh of relief and lay back down. I close my heavy eyes and smile to myself. I can hardly remember lastnight, but i do definitely remember the end of the night, with Jack putting me to bed.

"Good morning beautiful." I hear.

I open my eyes and look at Jack. He is smiling at me, looking tired as ever. He must of read my mind about my headache, as he slowly stroked my forehead and said he'll be back with some painkillers. I place my head on top of his, and whisper thank you.

He turned around, sat up, and spread he's arms out wide. His back looks so muscular and toned. He slowly stood up, and walked away, leaving me in his bed with my thoughts of him.

"Are you hungry?!" I hear him call from the kitchen.

Thinking about food made me realise it's just not my head that is killing me.

'...I think I'm going to be sick.'

"Uh.. No, no thank you, I'm fine."

He came back shortly after, with a glass of water, 2 painkillers and a cup of tea.

"Here you are, mi bella flor." He smiled at me and placed everything down on the bed side table, but handing me the painkillers. I slowly sat up and put the tablets in my mouth, followed by a large intake of fresh cold water.

"I hope you like tea." He added as he sat down on the bed next to me, rubbing my back.

I looked over at the hot tea calling my name. I giggled and took the mug in my hand, sipping the hot morning medicine.
Jack took me in he's arms, allowing my head to rest on his shoulder, stroking my hair ever so softly.
I feel so safe with Jack. I feel.. Loved.

'Where have you been all my life.' I smile to myself.

"Can I ask something?" I ask.

"Anything, mi bella flor." He replied.

"That's exactly what I wanted to ask, what are you calling me?"

I felt him smile, and he kisses my forehead, "It's a secret." He said.

'Oh.. That's not fair.' I thought.

I take another sip from my tea and sit it back down on the wooden bed side table.

-

"So tell everything!" Tahlia said, opening the door to my apartment.

'Are we roomies now?'

"Oh and I wanna ask something too..." She trailed off.

Giving her a confused look, I walked in and went to the lounge room, laying my self down and closing my eyes.

"Well, Jack picked me up, and---" I started.

"Picked you up? It's a few floors away from him, he just had to walk on some stairs a--"

"Do you want me to tell you or not?" I shot at her.

I opened my eyes to find her closing the door and making her way to the other lounge, leaning forward, as if she was very interested in what I have to tell her.

"He came and got me, and took me back to his."

Her eyes widen.

"No we did not have sex." I laugh, "he put me to bed."

"Awwwww that's so sweet!" She squealed.

I smile, it really was.

I explained the rest of my morning as she 'awww'ed with cuteness.

"He's at work now, but he wants me to see him tonight, he says he has something planed."

I honestly can not wait, even though I don't know what plan he has cooked up, but I know it's going to be amazing in one way or another.

I decided to sleep the rest of the day off, and wake up at an alright time for me to get ready for my surprise tonight.
