Moving on ~ a morganville fanfiction

In the dim yellow light of the early morning sun, Claire wished she could pause this moment and stay like this forever. Shane’s arms were wrapped around her hips and she could  feel his chest rising with every breath he took. It was perfect. Her husbands, it still felt strange to say that, body heat was radiating off onto claries back. She turned around slowly to face him, making sure not to wake him. His hair was having a major behead moment. It was  covering half his face. It needed a cut again soon he had let it grow wildly recently. His lips were perfect, maybe Claire should kiss them. She lent In to wake him up with a kiss ,as the alarm clock went off, signalling an end to Claire’s ideas for the morning. She fumbled to turn it off so it wouldn’t wake him up. She reached to turn it off as Shane’s arms grabbed her around the waist and pulled her on top of him. His long arm reached out for the alarm clock and turned off that hideous noise everyone dreads to hear in the mornings. He kissed Claire.

“mmm…I could wake up this early everyday if it meant getting to kiss you like this” he said still half asleep.

“its not early to the normal people in the world Shane “ she planted a kiss on his forehead”  “and I need to get up.” she didn’t really want to move away from his warm safe grasp. But she needed to get up and go to collage. The way he tightened his grip around Claire made it tempting to stay in bed with him all day.

“I need to get up for collage” 

“skip it” he said staring into her eyes.

“I cant its my finals. I cant believe I married such a bad influence” she winked at him  as she wiggled her way out of bed.

“well at least you didn’t marry a frat boy from collage. I hear there kind of wild”

“why aren’t you a frat boy then you’re a bit “wild”” she couldn’t believe she just said that to him. Wow. Embarrassing much,

He gave Claire a massive smile one that only she could get out of him “ go get ready before I keep you prisoner” 

Claire picked up some clean clothes.” can you do the laundry when i’m out. it’s a bit of a necessity”.

“haven’t you heard” he sat up “ if you turn your pants and socks inside out then you can use them two days in a row!”

“ewwwwwww” Claire cringed.

“joking. I cant do the laundry I’ve got something to do”

“what again! What is it?” she asked. “ I thought Mr Mcstabby had the day off again?” Shane had had the last week off from work and him and Michael had both been sneaking around..

“i’m not mr Mcstabby. will you and Eve stop calling me that. On my gravestone it will say Mr Mcstabby loved by all.”

“where are you going then?” she smiled at him, the way the sunlight went over his bare chest was just. It made him look surface of the sun hot,

“I am being a ninja for the day. seriously it’s a surprise. don’t keep asking me what it is because  you’ve been asking me for the last week and I hate keeping things from you. I’ll tell you what it is. and it’s a surprise  and it will totally ruin it”

“mmm okay then” Claire walked over to the bedroom door, and stopped at the doorway.

“does Eve know where your going?”

“no  Michael and me agreed it should be a surprise”

“oh okay” Claire closed the door and walked to the bathroom.

After the worlds quickest shower ( admiring Shane back then had cost her a lot of time, but it was totally worth it,) Claire went to take her things back to her room. Shane had fallen back to sleep. She probably should have woken him if he had things to do. But he looked so peaceful. She had to leave him. She tiptoed back out the room and slowly closed the door behind  her. When She entered the kitchen Eve and Michael were already sat drinking opposite each other. It looked kind of cute both of them happy and smiling together like a normal couple would. Claire felt mean interrupting their privacy like this.
