Gravity

Chapter 22

"Pssst......psst hey! Are you awake?"

"I am now" I grumbled.

"Oh good! Get up and get dressed. We have a busy day ahead."

"Wait. What? What are you talking about?" I rolled over in the bed shielding my eyes from the sun's blinding rays coming trough the window.

"I need you to get up and get dressed. Here I brought you some coffee." He said a little too excitedly shoving a mug in my face. I sat up against the headboard and graciously accepted the steaming mug. Taking a sip I glanced up over the rim to see him staring at me with amusement plastered all over his face.

"What?" I snapped.

"Nothing. You just look so cute when you wake up from a deep sleep is all." He kisses my forehead before sitting in the chair in the corner of the room to put on his shoes.

"What are you doing?"

"WE are going out. I have the whole day planned and you have less than an hour to get moving."

"But it's Sunday....and it's only...." reaching over at his bedside table I grabbed my phone to see it light up. "7:04 David?? Are you crazy?!?!"

"For you." He smiled

"That does not earn you any brownie points for waking me this early on a Sunday."

"Trust me. It will be worth it. I'll be waiting downstairs when you're ready."

"Ughhhh. Fine. I'll get dressed."

"That's my girl" he winked as he left the room.
I took another sip before setting the cup down to stretch. He wasn't wrong when he said I was sleeping good. Some of the best sleep I have had in awhile.
I headed to the bathroom and saw my reflection. No wonder he was staring. My hair was all matted and sticking up every which way and I was pretty sure I had a little dried drool on the side of my mouth. I had to laugh myself. I quickly showered and dried my hair. I had no idea what we were doing or where we were going. I grabbed the top of my towel around my chest and held tight as I stuck my head out of the door.
"How should I dress?" I hollered in hopes he heard me.

"Casual is fine." He said from next to the door making me jump.

"Shit! David I didn't know you were in here."

"I had to grab a couple of things." He looked me over with hunger quickly filling his eyes.

"Nu-uh. No way buddy. We will never get out of here. Let me get dressed then we can go."

"Are you sure. You're very tempting to just stay in all day."

"Not after you woke my ass up at 7. No we are going to go wherever it is we are going."

He stuck out his bottom lip. "Fine. Im really going downstairs this time"

I went over to my bag and grabbed an over sized white cable knit sweater and my favorite skinnies with holes all in them and my boots.
One last look in the mirror and I was good to go.

"So where are we going exactly?" I asked sneaking into the living room. He looked ever so handsome sitting on the couch reading the newspaper in his glasses. As always he was dressed to impress with a red and white striped button up with dark gray trousers and his hair fixed to perfection.

He looked up and smiled "Its a surprise."

"Did anyone ever tell you I hate surprises?"

"Really? What kind of human are you?" He sat down the paper and stood pulling me into him. The smell of all things David wrapped me up and left me feeling drunk. I would never tire of it.
