Chapter 8

            I finally wake up on a normal time without the urge of falling back asleep. I stretch and look over at Mike who is still asleep. I lightly peck him on the lips and he smiles and opens his eyes.

            "Well hello how are you feeling Sleeping Beauty."

            "Oh just fine Prince Philip."

            "Isn't it Charming?"

            "No that's only in Cinderella dear."

            "Well I guess I do not know my princesses that well."

            "I guess not, not the movies anyway."

            "Well should I not call the doctor today then since you are feeling so peppy?"

            "No, I think we should still go."

            "Really?"

            "Yeah."

            "Okay well I'll go set that up now."

            "Thanks."

            He slowly gets up and stretches. He goes out the door and yawns loudly. I sit up         in bed and feel my stomach. For some reason it feels odd. I look at it and it looks    the same as it always has. I brush it off and get out of bed. My long brown hair falls off the bed gently. I pick up my hair and say

"What am I going to do with you?"

Mike comes in and asks,

"With me?"

"No silly with my hair."

"Oh well if you want you could get it cut I wouldn't mind."

"Really."

"Yeah I wouldn't care if you were bald as long as you are mine."

"Awww Mike."

"So, we have an appointment today at 3 so how much time do we have?"

I look at my alarm clock and say,

"About 5 hours."

"Okay well what do you want to do?"

"Well I am not sure actually."

"Hmmmm."

"What?"

"We could....."

"No."

"You don't even know what I was going to say."

"Yes I do."

"What then."

"You were going to ask if we could go to Ikea."

"You know me too well."

"Yes I do and the answer is no."

"But why?"

"Are you really whining?"

"Yes." He said in high pitched whine.

"Why do you want to go to Ikea we have everything we need."

"But Shirley."

"What?"

"Please." He says flashing his million dollar smile.

"No no no you are not winning me over with that smile."

"You underestimate my power."

"No not a Star Wars quote." I am a sucker for Star Wars
