{8:05 am} I'M WOKEN UP THE NEXT morning to a loud, vicious clap of thunder outside. I flutter my eyes open and instantly squint when I realize that we forgot to shut the black, blackout curtain last night, so there's light pouring into the room. I try to sit up, but I realize that I was sleeping on top of a rock hard chest and I can feel something poking into my thigh. Glancing up, I spot my sound asleep fiancé and it only takes me one point two seconds to observe that we fell asleep together on the rather comfy, somewhat large couch in our hotel room last night. I glimpse down and realize that we're both naked and Kaiden's morning wood is what's poking me. I giggle faintly as I adjust myself on the couch, his morning wood no longer poking me. Pulling the blanket down to our waists, I glimpse up at him and sigh softly when I realize the damage that I'd left behind on his face. "Kayd, I am so sorry for putting my hands on you in an abusive way last night," I mutter, reaching my left hand up and gently stroking his bruised jaw.

{8:11 am} After a few minutes of me gently stroking his jaw, one of our phones starts ringing. "Shit!" I murmur as I sit up and try to find the source of the noise.

Unfortunately, I can't find it and the ringing wakes Kaiden up. "Fuck, my mouth hurts," he complains, holding his bruised jaw. "Why is my jaw so tender?"

The ringing stops and I exhale a deep breath. 'I'll find that phone in a second' I thought. I give him a small, apologetic smile. "Baby, I'm sorry," I whisper, gazing at him apologetically. "It's all my fault that your jaw is so tender. I am so, so, so sorry I used physical abuse on you last night." I chuckle bitterly as I bite my lower lip momentarily. "I'm the worst fiancé ever! Maybe we should just ca—"

Suddenly, I'm cut off by Kaiden's lips smashing against mine. I release a surprised gasp and then moan softly. After several seconds, he pulls away. "God, you talk too much sometimes!" he complains, rolling his eyes. "Not to sound rude, but seriously woman, shut up! It's okay, baby. I promise."

I give him a small, apologetic smile. "Sorry if that ringing woke you up," I whisper. "I tried to find the source of the ringing from sitting right here, and I didn't want to move and disturb you to find it."

He shrugs. "It's fine. What time is it, anyway?" He releases a loud yawn as he rubs his right eye.

Flicking my wrist, my Apple Watch turns on and I read the time: 8:19. "It's almost 8:19. Damn, why do we wake up so early? We're off Mom and Dad duty for the next couple days."

Kaiden shrugs. "Maybe our body clocks are just used to waking up early since that's what we do when we are on Mom and Dad duty."

I giggle softly. "True."

{8:21 am} Suddenly, a bright light flashes in the room – almost like a camera flash going off. Seconds later, it's followed by another loud, vicious clap of thunder as the sound of rain starts pounding down outside. I cringe slightly as I bury my face in Kaiden's arm. "I hate thunderstorms," I whisper.

"Why? Rain is good," Kaiden informs.

"Yeah, I know rain is good," I answer. "I just hate when the rain brings lightning and thunder along with it."

He nods.

I lightly kiss his bicep and climb off the couch. Kaiden grabs my bare ass cheek and is about to squeeze it, but I brush it off as I turn around to face him. "Thanks again for holding me last night and not losing your shit with me when I hit you," I whisper, not meeting his gaze and lightly rubbing my arm. "I am sorry though for putting my hands on you like that. Never in a million years would I ever thin—"
