The rambunctious sound of my alarm clock made me groan and with one eye open, I rolled to my side and turned it off hoping that it didn't wake Leo up from his sleep. A warm body pressed against my back as a firm arm wrapped around my waist pulled me closer, warming my body instantly.
"Morning" Jason's husky morning voice muttered in my neck making me shudder. "Morning" I whispered back, rubbing the sleep from my eyes as a yawn escaped from my lips.
"What time is it?" He asked tiredly. I lifted my head from my pillow to check what time is it. "Eight-thirty" I sighed, plopping myself back to the pillow as I felt comfortable in Jason's arms.
"Do you have work today?" I asked, sinking into his arms as he buried his face in my neck. "None," He said, shaking his head slightly making me nod.
"Do you want to go to the zoo?" I asked him suddenly. I turned around to face him when I felt him lift his head from my neck. His green eyes filled with confusion as he looked at me. "The weather looks good. I thought it would be a great idea to spend the day at the zoo" I said, wrapping my arms around his torso as I scooted closer to him, pressing a light kiss on his bare chest.
"Mhmmm" His chest vibrated as he hummed in response. I rested my head in the crook of his neck, inhaling his fresh aromatic scent. His arms wrapped around me brought the peace that I forgot existed ever since A came to destroy our lives.
His embrace made me feel safe. It made me feel as if there's nothing to worry about and once in a while, I think I will be needing more of these.
I closed my eyes as I relaxed in his arms but then a cry from Leo's crib made me shoot my eyes open. "Oh, dear. He's awake" I muttered in Jason's chest before sitting up. Stretching as Jason tried to hug my waist again, pulling me back to bed. "Babe, I need to feed him" I said, tapping his bulky arms that stopped me from standing up.
"We can cuddle again once Leo has his milk" I said, playfully tugging the roots of his thick light brown hair that almost matched the color of my hair. "Fine" He groaned, removing his arm from my waist as Leo continued crying.
I placed some powdered formula on Leo's bottle, shaking it to make sure that the formula dissolved before checking if it was hot with the back of my hand. Once the milk was ready, I placed a pillow under Leo's head before handing him the milk which he gladly took and started sipping on it. "We should probably start getting ready?" I suggested as I sat at the edge of the bed to watch Leo chug his milk.
"No. Where's my cuddle?" Jason whined as he lifted his head from the pillow to look at me.
"We can cuddle later. Don't you want to take a shower?" I asked, standing up to grab some everyday clothes from my bag that I still haven't unpacked. I turned and saw Jason smirking at me with his back resting against the headboard making me roll my eyes.
