Sometime during the night, I woke up to check on Emily. I opened her door to see her sound asleep in her bed. Walking down the hallway, I opened the guest room door to find him asleep on the bed. He was shirtless and flat on his stomach, lying on top of the blankets. I went to the hall closet and pulled out a blanket before returning to the bedroom, I could see that he was now on his back, leaning back on his elbows and looking up at me wide eyed.
"Thought you might be cold." I said, opening the blanket and covering him up.
"Thanks. You know, feel free to come keep me warm if you like." He tilted his head and gave me that sneaky little grin that I still found so sexy.
"Already did that. You can keep yourself warm with this blanket now."
"Okay, I'll do that. If you need me, I'm here." I turned around and walked to the door, but stopped when I heard my name. "Kristen, goodnight." He added, causing me to look at him once more.
"It's not nighttime Jared.." I pulled the door closed behind me and went back to my room. I lay in bed, desperately trying to fall back asleep, but failing miserably. My mind wandering back to earlier and I grinned at my boldness. The pillows and bed, still smelled like him and I knew I would never get to sleep thinking about him.
He was right in the next room and all I had to do is walk in there, but I would never do it. Part of me was afraid that if I did, he would think I was okay with what he did, but the other part of me was saying that I was crazy, he might really be sorry for what he did, cheating on me. Tossing and turning for most of the night, I finally fell asleep. The next morning I woke up and made some coffee. I decided to make some pancakes and jumped when I felt arms slide around me. He moved my hair to one side of my neck and kissed right under my ear softly.
"Jared I need to go get Emily up. Come on, I'm making breakfast." I insisted, pushing his arms off of me. He sighed and backed up away from me, leaving me clenching my jaw from his caress. Surprisingly, he didn't say a word. Instead, he sat there, shirtless, his messy hair falling over his shoulders and rubbing his eyes. God, he was so sexy sitting there waiting to eat.
"I'll go and wake her up." I heard him say as he got up and shuffled to her bedroom.
The laughter that came from her bedroom made me smile as I finished up. I missed mornings like this. The mornings where I would make breakfast and he would get her up and tickling her, causing the loud shrieking, followed by her running as he chased behind her.
He returned to the kitchen with her over his shoulder. He always told me that she looked like me, but I see him when I look at her. He put her down at the table and sat next to her. "Breakfast with my two favorite girls. I really miss that." He said waiting for me to sit down next to him.
