Chapter 291
Surprisingly the next morning, Cheryl actually managed to wake up around 5 minutes before their alarm which was set for 7.30am, giving her a chance to cancel it so that she wouldn’t have to listen to the incessant beeping noise it made which always drove her totally crazy. Even after all of these months, she still experienced that same amazing, warm, excited feeling every time she woke up with Tre lying next to her, making her feel so lucky and loved as she gazed across at him sleeping with his face rested right beside hers on the pillow and his hand still holding hers too, all night long. She’d had such a lovely evening with him last night doing something that he actually enjoyed doing to chill out and was one of the local places he went with his friends, and she’d quickly realised she loved it too even though usually after rehearsals she preferred to have a nice soak in the bath and an early night. It had just been so nice sitting down in a quiet bar having a drink with him and able to talk properly, as during rehearsals they were either too exhausted to even speak, or joking around to get through it all as it really was pretty painful and tiring. The jazz band had also been really good she’d thought and she’d loved learning about the different instruments Tre could play and how his grandfather’s had taught him when he was just a little boy; although her favourite part of the night was definitely dancing with him at the end...feeling him holding her properly in his arms like a true professional, taking in his amazing scent which really comforted her these days for some reason, swaying in time to the gorgeous tones of the saxophone, trumpets, trombones, piano and guitar, feeling like she was in some incredibly romantic film, especially when she looked up and melted into his adoring brown eyes before feeling his soft lips meet hers, almost making her feel weightless as she suddenly felt like she was flying around like a feather, her feet no longer touching the ground. These nights out she shared with Tre were always pretty simple, and for the majority of the time, Tre just asked her without even thinking too much about it or seeing it as a big deal, but Cheryl really treasured them and they meant so much more to her than Tre even realised, mainly because she’d been by herself for so long and had missed the intimate feeling of sitting across a table from somebody who she just wanted to talk to all night and couldn’t tear her eyes away from, feeling like he felt the same way about her and really wanted to spend time with just her by herself and was actually interested in what she had to say rather than just listening to be polite or for the sake of it.
She lay quietly for around 5 minutes until the time did actually reach 7.30am and then decided she’d be Tre’s own personal alarm clock, starting by blowing softly on his face whilst trying not to laugh as his nose instantly began twitching and his eyebrows started lifting slightly. When his eyes remained closed, she changed her technique by purring into his ear, which she was surprisingly talented at as she could roll her tongue, the vibrating sound finally making Tre wake up quite abruptly as he got a shock, triggering Cheryl to fall back onto her pillow in a fit of giggles.
“Hahahahaha...aww baby, your face!!!...hahaha...aww that was classic...good one chez...hahaha” she kept on giggling at herself and clapping her hands while Tre rubbed his eyes to wake up properly and then turned his head to watch her, not able to stop himself from smirking at the sight of her losing the plot.
“Stop laughing at yourself you saddo!” he grinned as he playfully shoved her arm, always secretly finding it very amusing whenever she cracked up at herself, so much so that her dimples stretched across her cheeks while her eyes were squeezed shut. “Haha...Chez, shut up ya weirdo...it better be actually time to wake up babe or you’re seriously dead!” he yawned, feeling very tired still after finding it difficult to get to sleep last night.
“Haha...alright grumpy guts...haha...not too nice when somebody keeps waking you up is it?” she began teasing him in a baby voice as she rolled over to him and began pinching his cheeks, making him screw his face up as she did so.
