Sometimes I get scared that you're going to freak out when I wake you up and I always prepare for the worst. But today you didn't jump like you normally do. You squinted real hard and then opened up one eye to look up at me, questioning why I was there before you close your eyes again and roll onto your side.
'I bought you some drinks,' I half smile and bend down to kiss your brow. I let my lips linger there for what seems like forever.
