I woke to the sound of my girlfriend's gentle snores as sunlight started to seep through the curtain and fill her room with a blinding light.

May rolled over in her sleep, turning her back to me and taking the blanket with her.

I rubbed my eyes, waking myself up for the day before looking at the clock.
Well it's 8:30 and I'm awake... might as well get up.

Gathering my clothes from the previous night off of the floor, I made my way to the bathroom, making sure not to wake my sleeping girlfriend, and turned on her shower.
I got in, feeling the warm water flow down my back and warming me to the core. I closed my eyes, appreciating the feeling.

"What are you doing?" I heard a sleepy voice ask between yawns.
"Showering," I replied, happy to be able to witness her morning cuteness

My girlfriend closed her eyes, accepting that that was the last dose of rest she was going to get for the day, then proceeded to join me in the shower, latching on and nuzzling in to me.
I wrapped my arms gently around her and kissed the top of her head. "How do you feel after last night baby?"
"Tired," she replied with an evidently sleepy smile.

I gently began to wash her hair for her as she stayed latched onto me, it being unclear to tell whether or not she was sleeping on my chest.
"Thanks," she mumbled.
"No problem cutie."
