Morning Coffee

I must have fallen asleep on the couch, because I woke the next morning to sunlight streaming in from an open window. There was a reason I had blackout curtains in my room. Groaning, I rolled off the couch, nearly stepping in the discarded ice cream container by my foot. 

"Well good morning," Alastor's teasing voice called out, though I couldn't see him anywhere, "Coffee has been ready for nearly an hour." 

Grumbling something resembling a good morning, I made a beeline for the coffee maker. Sure enough, my demon boyfriend had made coffee. I had to admit, that made me like him a tiny bit. But then again, I'd probably warm to anyone that made me coffee. Hell, the barista at the coffee shop was hands down my favorite person on this planet. 

Sipping the warm, life-giving liquid, I leaned against the counter. A moment later Alastor materialized out of thin air, his Cheshire grin stretched across his face. 

"Done pouting?" He asked with a chuckle, moving to pour himself a cup of coffee.

"I wasn't pouting!" I said defensively, moving by to let him get a mug. 

"Whatever you say, my dear," Alastor shrugged, not engaging in my admittedly childish behavior, "Today is Saturday, isn't it? Any more Tinder dates or would you prefer to stay monogamous?"

"Demons believe in monogamy?" I raised an eyebrow.

Alastor chuckled, "Why not? It was preferred back in my day."

I rolled my eyes in response. Great, not only was my boyfriend a demon, but he was also old as all hell. 

"No, as a matter of fact, I wanted to go to the bookstore and then clean the apartment. I'm done with online dating," I sighed, then added, "Thank you, by the way. For saving my ass yesterday."

Alastor's grin grew even wider, "It was my pleasure, my dear. Go on to your bookstore, I'm sure I can find something here to occupy myself."
