Kansas’ POV
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
Ugh! I reach over on the nightstand to snooze the alarm clock. 5:30 a.m. comes way too early and I am definitely not a morning person. I lay my head back down on the pillow and close my eyes again. Just five more minutes I tell myself. I finally open my eyes again and look at the clock. Dammit! It’s 5:45! Now I only have 45 minutes to get ready. I reach over to wake Braxton, but when I do there’s no one there. I roll over, only to see his side of the bed is empty. He must have gone into work early again.
I climb out of bed feeling a little sore this morning. Wow! Our little sex session last night was a bit more than I had anticipated. I stand up and stretch, catching a glance of myself in the mirror. My eyes dart to my left cheek; it’s still red. My hand goes up to touch it. It still stings a little. My memory starts to flood with the events that occurred last night.
When he came home, everything seemed fine. He was sitting on the bed and I asked him if he was hungry. All of a sudden, he got really upset, and slapped me across my face. I didn’t even see it coming; it happened so fast. I’ve never seen him that angry before. His work must really be getting to him. Maybe I should talk to him about taking some time off? De-stress for a little while, like go on vacation or something.
I tear my eyes away from the mirror and walk into the closet to get some scrubs for work. I decide to wear my owl scrub top with brown bottoms. I slip into the bathroom for a quick shower. The hot water feels good on my sore muscles. When I’m finished getting dressed, I slip on my comfy nursing shoes and head into the kitchen to get something to eat. When I get into the kitchen, I notice a note on the table from Braxton. I pick it up to read it:
Good morning beautiful! Happy 5th Anniversary Baby! Be ready at 8:00, I’ll pick you up at home. Have a great day!
Love, Braxton xoxo
He is so damn sweet! I can’t wait to see what he has planned for tonight. I get my usual breakfast of Kashi Vanilla Island cereal with almond milk and toast ready. I sit down at the table and begin eating my cereal and wait for my toast to pop up. I hear the toaster pop up. I butter my toast and add a little mixed berry jam. I go and sit back down and finish eating my breakfast.
After I’m done eating, I put my bowl in the sink and head into the bathroom to finish getting ready for work. When I get into the bathroom and turn on the light, I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror again. My cheek is still pretty red. I decide to cover it with some concealer and foundation. Hopefully, it hides the red mark. I typically don’t wear make-up to work, but today was definitely an exception. I look at myself in the mirror again; I can still see a hint of red, so I decide to put on a little blush too, blend it in a little with my complexion.
After I’m satisfied with my make-up, I brush my teeth. I glance at the clock again and see now that it’s 6:20 am. I only have 10 minutes left until I’m supposed to leave and I was hoping to leave a little early so I can stop at Starbucks for a coffee. After our all night love fest, I was definitely going to need a little “pick me up” today. I quickly throw my hair into a high ponytail, making sure it looks half way decent before I turn off the light and head out of the bathroom.
