Hope's P.O.V

By the time I wake up, Sebastian's arms are wrapped around me. I must have fallen asleep on the sofa, as I don't remember walking into his room. It's quite big and has a vintage style. I get out of bed, as silently as possible and walk to the kitchen. I could use an aspirin and some water. My neck itches, and I decide to take the locket off for a bit. Maybe I'm allergic to it?. I don't give much thought to this.

I'm sitting on the counter as I remember last night's kiss and smile widely. 

Then my head starts aching

Then my head starts aching.

'Damn...', I say as I can't find the jar of water Sebastian usually has in the fridge. I can see some food, more alcohol ('God, no...') and his protein drinks. He said they taste awful but I'm thirsty. I open one of the bottles and smell it. 'Here goes nothing', I think and take a sip. It doesn't taste that bad, even though I took a tiny sip. I decide to try some more. I swallow half of it and spit out the rest. 'Ugh... This does taste horrible. How does he even drink this!?', I wonder.

I go the bathroom and wash my mouth, trying to take that awful taste away. I go back to the kitchen and decide to make some coffee.

"Good morning", I listen. Sebastian looks a bit sleepy and he's standing close to me.

"Oh hey!. Good morning. Did you sleep well?", I ask, trying to act normal. The memory of the kiss comes back to my head and plays itself in a non-stop loop. I take a sip from the coffee mug I'm holding in my hands.

"Very. You?", he asks back and now he is wrapping his hands on my waist.

"Same...", I smile at him.

He kisses my temple and I feel I'm way up above, living in Cloud number 9.

My phone rings. It's one of my colleagues. I curse in languages I'm not sure that even exist.

"What's wrong?", Sebastian asks, when I hang up.

"Work. Apparently, one of our main witnesses from a case has gone missing, and the trial is in two days. I need to get my ass down to the office and help to find him", I sigh.
