Viridescent Flares

54

I woke up when I felt heat hitting my body. Groaning, I rolled on my side with my barely opened eyes to see that I forgot to put the blinds down last night.

"Fuck," I said, and it was only then that I noticed that I was still holding my phone. "Oh shit."

I almost melted when I saw Lauren's face, peacefully sleeping as it seemed like she was, too, holding her phone as she slept. I smiled at the image I first saw in the morning, taking a screenshot of it. I got my phone charging since last night so I didn't have to bother about it going off in the midst of having a video call with Lauren. I felt too hot so I got up from the bed quietly, making my way to the bathroom.

I placed my phone down on the counter as I took my clothes off, tossing them to the laundry basket thereafter before going inside the shower with the phone in hand. I made sure that I could still see Lauren as I was taking a bath, putting my mic on mute just so she wouldn't wake up from the noise coming from my shower.

I was in the middle of eating my breakfast when the raspy voice rang in my ears, having my earphones plugged in my phone.

"Good morning, princess," I said with a smirk, watching her dazed state as she looked around.

When she heard my voice, she whipped her head to me and grinned.

"Good morning," she said, covering her mouth as she yawned.

"Hey," I said as I smiled, noticing that she was only staring at me. "Did you have a good sleep?"

She nodded like a kid, closing her eyes for a moment. "Very."

"I think I fell asleep last night," I said apologetically, taking another spoon of cereal.

"You did."

"I'm sorry."

"It's fine. You looked really cute while sleeping."

"You watched me while I'm asleep?"

"I'm pretty sure you were doing the same before you get into your position right now."

I laughed, nodding my head affirmatively. "I did, smartypants."

"Do you want me to keep this on? I kind of need to pee."

"Oh, it's not like I haven't seen any of you before."

"Pervert!" She said jokingly, causing me to laugh. She was now standing up from the bed, her messy hair all over the place as she moved. She looked gorgeous nevertheless.

"What time did you sleep?" I asked, grabbing my glass of milk.
