Another chance

Chapter 10 Happiness

Izna's POV:

I was woken up by my alarm for fajr and realised I had woken up in his embrace. To say it felt safe and protected would be absolutely right. I smiled to myself and got off his chest to switch off the alarm and decided to wake him up. It still is quite a task to wake him for fajr. I called his name a few times, no answer, patted his shoulder and when I finally ruffle his hair that's when he hhmm and open his eyes. I've started feeling he likes to be waken up this way. Whilst I was brushing my teeth, he got in half asleep and he just hugged me from the back and nuzzled his face on my neck. He didn't really know what he was up to, he was almost continuing his sleep like that. I could only chuckle at the baby side of him and he says I'm a baby...I just looked up at the mirror and couldn't help but be amazed. We looked so cute like that mashallah. I made a quick duah that Allah always blesses us and this nikkah. I just called out his name and ruffled his hair and he snapped out of his sleep. He looked at our reflection and then back at us and loosened his grip on me. I swear I saw him amazed and blushed haha it was a beautiful sight early morning

After completing my wudhu I laid out prayer mats and soon he was out too. We didn't say anything after that lil washroom scene and he led me in prayer. I was still reading when he cleared his throat. Once I finished that verse, I closed my mushaf and looked at him. He had his eyes lowered and without looking at me he said sorry for what happened this morning. He didn't realize and he was still half asleep. I moved in front of him and held his chin up and cupped his face in my hands and told him to look at me. I told him I know you were half asleep, even if you were not, there's nothing you have to be sorry or guilty about. This is your right and I'm your wife and he just smiled at this.

When he came back to bed I had my back against the headboard, he asked you're not sleeping?
I replied I'm not really sleepy. I told him to come here and patted my lap. He looked at me confused before I nodded and he laid his head on my lap and I was playing with his hair. He said this feels really good thank you .I just said sshhh sleep, I know it must have been uneasy for you to sleep in that position last night. I was literally hovering on you.
He said nah that's fine I'll get used to it. I closed his eyes with my hands and began massaging his head. Soon he was drifting to sleep, I was still ruffling his hair when he stirred and turned slightly to his right and encircled my waist and back with his left hand.
It felt so much at peace and felt like that's how I always want to feel loved and protected. I thought he's done so many things to make me feel special and now I have to do something for him.I didn't realize when I fell asleep thinking about all this.

I was woken up by a weight off my lap and when I opened my eyes I saw him looking at me.I didn't have time to say anything and he started panicking omg you slept like that, are you okay? I'm sorry I gave you discomfort. I know your back already hurts a lot. I'm sorry...I didn't even let him finish and since his face was so close, I just pecked him. I said that's what you get for talking too much and winked at him.I swear the expressions he gives me are to die for. I got off bed and damn I winced in pain. My back really hurts like hell and with the PMS it gets even worse...He quickly ran to my side and made me sit. I could see his worried expression and told him not to worry I'll be okay it's just my usual back pain. He said I know it way too well please lie down I'll just massage it for a while it'll give you relief. I went no it's fine don't worry you don't have to... And before I could complete he said I don't have to but I want to now can you please quietly lie down. I'll just grab the ointment. I just sighed and gave up lol. I was in too much pain to argue with him.

He got back and he sat there wondering for a few moments and I also realized what he must be thinking about so I gave him the approval. He tugged my shirt a lil up and began massaging. It felt really good and was actually soothing. But alongside feeling good, I had this weird feeling in my stomach that his touch was giving me. I'm sure I was blushing hard by then.He asked is it okay? Does it feel good? I hope I'm not applying too much pressure? I could only hhhmm to his questions and managed to say it's perfect, thank you. He said you're always welcome and he told me to lie down for a while. He'll be the chef for breakfast. I was trying to get up saying no please I can do it. He said no way! I'm getting this chance and I'm not letting go. One thing you need to know about my best friend and now hubby, he's very good at words and a good chef and you can't win in arguments when he knows he's right. He prepared some great breakfast and we just chilled for some time. Sunday was usually our lazy day but I decided to use this chance and plan something for him.
