Can't Sleep... Love? (Mavi)

Morning Ninety-Eight

It's early when my alarm pulls me out of my sleep. I groan loudly, not really wanting to get up just yet. My body simply does not work on less than five hours of sleep. But I had promised Scott that I would drive to the hospital with him and I always keep my promises. At least to the people I love. Avi stirs next to me and I press a kiss on his lips.  

"Morning, Darling. Sleep some more. I'll just get up and ready" I say softly.

"Mmhm, I'll get up as well, though" he replies. "I'm planning to drive home to get our stuff so you don't have to hurry."

"I... wow thank you" I smile at him.

"Never mind, Babe. Scott needs you right now, so I'll just do what I can to assist you. If you need something elae just tell me" he says softly.

I snuggle up closer and enjoy his warmth for another moment. "You're perfect. I love you!"

"I love you, too" he returns. "Now come on, you need to get up. Scott needs to see his love."

"I know, I know." I steal one last kiss from my man and get out of the bed. I decide to check on Scott first, just to make sure he's up as well.

"Scott? Scottie?" After knocking on his door, I open it and stick my head into the room, smiling when I see that he's still fast asleep. With a sigh I sit down on the edge of his bed and start stroking his arm. "Good morning, Scottie" I say softly. "You need to get up."

It takes a moment until Scott wakes up. "What time is it? I didn't sleep in, did I?"

"You didn't. It's seven thirty. We have more than enough time to get ready" I say calmly. "Just take your time."

Scott relaxes instantly. "Good. Thank you. Starbucks on the way? There isn't really much in the fridge."

"Yeah, definitely. I need a lot of coffee to make it through the day" I agree. "Let's leave in an hour or once both of us are ready?"

"Yes. See you later. And Mitch? Thank you for everything you did last night."

I shake my head. "I just helped my sister, Scotty. I'd do it again in the blink of an eye. Because that's what we do for each other. And now come on. Stop being sappy and get up. Your beautiful fiancé is waiting for you." I wink at him and leave the room to get ready.

An hour later I'm in the car with Scott. We both have our coffee ready and I'm driving us to the hospital.

"So what did Avi and you do on your day off? I mean before you rushed to the hospital" Scott asks while we're stuck in traffic.

"Well, we got up around noon, had breakfast on the patio, then chilled on the sunbeds in the back of his garden until we got hungry again. We had grilled chicken with baked potatoes followed by a nice hot bath" I explain to him with a dreamy smile on my face.

"You do this a lot, right? Relax, cook, take baths?" Scott wonders.

"Mmhm. Why are you asking?" I return, taking a sip of my coffee as we're stopping at a red light again.

"I'm not really asking. Just stating and thinking" he returns. "And well, I honestly always wondered what the right man for you would be like. I mean you've dated a lot of different uys, but I just wasn't sure."

I giggle. "I didn't know either. But it works with Avi. I'm happy and he seems to be, too, so it's good, I think."

"Yeah. And remember that you'll soon be in Iceland with him."

I nod. "Yeah."

Scott raises an eyebrow. "That didn't sound too enthusiastic" he states. "Why's that?"
