Waking up has been a dread to me ever since I started living alone. But this time? Waking up feels like heaven. I opened my eyes and saw this beautiful lady pressed against my chest. As if we were puzzle pieces that fit perfectly together. She was still sound asleep. Her lips a little swollen from all the kissing we made last night. A few strands of hair covers her face. I pushed her hair strands and tucked them behind her ears and stared at her for what seemed like forever. Taking in every detail of her face. She looked very beautiful and the sunrays seeping through her window made her even more wonderful. It’s like you’re staring at a painting of a scenery. So calm, beautiful and perfect. It’s like with just a look of her, you’re in paradise.
I kissed her lightly on her nose and her eyes fluttered open.
"Hi." I greeted her.
"Hi." she said and hugged me. "Good morning." she added as she kissed my chest. I smiled as she tightened her embrace and I gave her a hug as well.
"How’re you feeling?" I asked her.
"Good. Beautiful. Wonderful. Happy. Giddy. I don’t know." she said.
"I love you, Julie." I whispered to her.
"I know." she said and she gave me a chaste kiss on the lips. "What do you want for breakfast?"
"You." I answered. She pinched my nose and we both laughed.
"I asked you a serious question." she told me.
"And I gave you a serious answer. I want you for breakfast." I said.
"No." she said and stood up. I watched her look for something to wear then she found my polo and decided to wear it. I smiled at how it looked on her. Perfect. Just perfect. She puts her hair in a messy bun and walked to the door but paused to look at me. "Aren’t you coming?" she asked.
"No. Too lazy to move." I said. She walked back to bed and stood there giving me the eye as she placed her hands on her hips and taps her foot impatiently. "Pull me up." I said and lend her my hand. She grabbed my hand with both her hands and pulled me up but then I decided to play a trick on her and pulled her down instead.
"Oowww!" she cried when she landed on me. "Elmo." she said as she looks at me. "Baba na tayo and make breakfast. You have rehearsals today remember?"
"Screw those rehearsals because I wanna cuddle with you all day." I said and wrapped my arms around her. She kissed me lighlty on my nose and then smiled.
"Halika na. Gutom na ko and you know how grumpy I am when I’m hungry." I laughed and kissed her on the lips before I nodded.
"Okay manager. Before you turn from hungry to hangry." I said as I sat us both up. I was now sitting and she was on my lap, arms wrapped around my neck. "Pero bago tayo bumaba…"
"Ano?" she asked as she brushed my hair with her fingers.
"Kiss mo muna ako." she giggled but gave me a long kiss, it left me short of breath.
"Oh halika na baba na tayo."and she pulled me and dragged me out of her room.

This is by far the best morning I had. Waking up next to that person who made me the happiest woman alive. Giving him hugs and kisses and making him as happy as how he made me. I was wearing his polo from last night and I couldn’t help but smile.
I was cooking pancakes when I felt him hug me from behind.
"Jules…" he said as he gives me chicken kisses on my shoulders.
"Hm?"
"Sama ka sa akin sa work please?" he said.
"Ano ka ba. I have work too."
