Criminal {ManxMan}

~Chapter 10~

Alister

The morning after was never one of my specialties with exes or one night stands because it was usually followed by a hangover and "Why the hell are you still here"s. I hadn't done anything like that in a while, but I still was nervous for some reason, even though I know Julian is different and wanted what happened to happen-- with no alcohol involved.

Thoughts ran through my head as I pulled Julian closer to me and kissed the top of his head gently. I had woken up about an hour ago and I wasn't even going to think about waking Julian up. After all, I probably wore him out. I chuckled as I thought about the fact that Julian would, no doubt, be a bit sore. Yay, I get to take care of him on my day off! I might be the only person who isn't even a little pissed about doing something for my boyfriend on my day off.

As this thought crossed my mind, I heard a small noise from Julian, and soon I saw those beautiful eyes of his and his small smile. "Morning.." He said in a groggy voice, his eyelids drooping slightly. I knew he wanted more sleep but you couldn't make Julian do something if he didn't want to. I smiled right back, "Good morning, love.. How do you feel?" As soon as I asked him that, he winced, as if just noticing a pain. "Ah... Um... M-my back and..." He blushed, "Yeah... Hurt a bit.." I couldn't help but smile again at how innocent he looked trying to tell me that I went a little too rough. "I'm sorry, love," I whispered, "I'll be gentler next time, I promise.." Julian blushed even more.

I kissed his forehead, "Can I draw a bath for you?" Julian grinned and nodded, laughing a little as he said quietly, "If I can get up, that is.." I laughed as well, "I'll help you."

I swear, Julian's smile could light up the world.

"Alright.." He said quietly once again as I got up, starting to walk to the bathroom. I was only in my boxers and I saw Julian's eyes on me. I smirked a little and looked back at him to wink.

The way his cheeks went from normal to cherry red in a matter of one second, lit me up.

I smiled more and thought about how much I loved this man that was in my bed.

Sorry for the short chapter and not updating in like FOREVER!! I've been extremely busy because school is almost over for me and other things have been happening in my life to where I had writer's block for a while.

Trust me, it was hell for all of us-- the writer's block, I mean.
