Dreams of My Past (COMPLETED)

Chapter 18 - The Morning After

Alesandra p.o.v.

As I rose from a heavy slumber, my eyes opened, my eyelashes faintly batting against my lids when I blinked. Then, I am first aware of the person sleeping beside me. I felt Nikolai's arms about my neck and a leg over my belly he breathe softly in my face. I gently peel him off.

The gentle snuffles and rhythmic rise and fall of his chest shows that he's still sound asleep. I look around and I half wonder if I'm still dreaming as I sit up taking in my new surroundings I know I'm not in my own bedroom.

Waking up with Nikolai beside me is a pleasure to me, I don't want to get up. But by the time my eyes are fully open my brain has become overwhelmed all over again as if it were all new, fresh, raw of remembering what happened last night. I wish I could linger in that blissful ignorance of waking up. The thing is I need to go to the bathroom. I need to pee.

My brain is complaining. "Aarrgh.."

She went into the bathroom tiptoeing. She saw all their clothes lying around on the floor. When she came back, within seconds of realizing she's conscious and on her feet, eyes wide, yawning. But only then, thought that she can't stand without making a breakfast.

Her stomach is growling, begging for food. She was butt naked walking around. She picks up her underwear and Nikolai's shirt then went out of the room, closing the door gently. Came down the hallway and going down.

This is crazy all the buttons are gone. Never mind. I'm all alone here. No one can see me. Huh'.

She raises her hand in the air and shakes her head... "I'm naked.." but her brain says.. your gorgeous.." Whatever"...

She knew it's early morning because she can't hear the whir of the machines yet and because her heart is pounding right out of her chest. Rubbing her eyes with the insides of her palms. Raking her fingers through her tousled and tangled long hair. Is she coming down the stairs, she saw the early morning sun was already well risen it was early enough for the streets to be almost deserted - perfection.

She looks at the wall clock, apparently, it's 6:22 am was the sweet-spot.

She went to the kitchen. Thinking of finding any food and start the coffee maker. She can hear the humming sound of the refrigerator and the dishwasher.

She walked into the kitchen open the pantry door,.. wow! this is big. Everywhere she looked there were stacks of food. I'll be having a hard time deciding what to cook for breakfast.

Okay.. decided to have an American breakfast perhaps, eggs(Spanish omelet), hash browns, a glass of orange juice, croissants, and bacon, that's it. "My brain says' yes delicious. It's mouthwatering Alesandra. Nikolai will probably like it."

The idea of breakfast in bed with Nikolai made Alesandra want to dance on her toes.

She took her coffee and enjoying her time in the kitchen. Preparing everything and frying up the bacon. The smell of the crisp bacon filling the house had her salivating in seconds. She buttered the bread, she took a bite, the bacon broke over her tongue, perfectly crisp, perfectly salty. The flavor was like a bomb in her mouth, exploding in all the right ways. "Hmmm. hmm.." this is perfect."

She didn't know that Nikolai woke up and thought that she was gone. He sneaks up to his room and went down to find her in the kitchen. He was just being delighted by her sight in his kitchen. Then decided to go back to his room waiting for her to wake him up. The food smells good.

She went back to the pantry finding a food tray and started to prepare the food. The croissant, omelet, hash brown and bacon and two glasses of orange juice for them. "American breakfast in bed, here we go darling.." she's smiling and thinking mischievously.
