Click!

The door opened as I turned the knob, and it made its usual satisfying click. I stepped inside wearily yet anxiously and slowly shut the door behind me. Again, another click sound was made as it swung back into its place. I took off my jacket and held it in my hand, standing still for a moment.

I sighed heavily, allowing the grip on my jacket to become loose. It dropped, falling silently to the floor as gravity pulled it downward. It fell somewhat gracefully and when it hit the floor it was almost silent. I continued walking through the hallway, hoping my worries would dissipate as I progressed further into my house. 

Today was a rough day at work, as there were multiple problematic customers. As the role of manager, it's my job to address these Karens and listen to their stupid complaints. It's so frustrating, because nothing's ever their fault. It's always ours. Psh. 

As I continued to walk through my house, I heard footsteps approaching from behind. I instantly knew who it was, but I didn't want to stop for them. It would only make me want to break down in their embrace.

"Hey, lass. How was work?" He spoke. His voice was thick with his Welsh accent, as per the usual. Edward wrapped his strong arms around my waist, forcing me to stop. I groaned in response, to both his question and his actions.

"That bad, huh? Thank God you're home now," He kissed my cheek and released me from his hold. I muttered a "thanks" before wandering into our bedroom. I changed out of my work uniform and slipped into some sweatpants and a band T-shirt. 

Once I was finished, I greeted Edward in the living room, where he was laying on the couch. He had his arm along the back of the couch and was watching one of his shows. He glanced in my direction and a smile overtook his features. I sat down next to him, and he instinctively put his arm around my waist again. I was in a mood, and I didn't want to talk. I just wanted him. 

"Jaysus, lass, you don't look so good," Edward commented. I already knew this. I have been up since four in the morning, and I have been running purely on caffeine all day. I probably have dark bags under my eyes and a pout, too. But that's okay, I guess. Whatever puts food on the table and a roof over our heads. I closed my eyes in frustration. 

"I didn't have a good day..." I told him. My voice cracked a little, and I instantly curled up closer to him. Edward hugged me tightly before reassuring me that everything will be okay. When he released me, he grabbed the TV remote and put on a movie. My favorite one, to be exact. 

It was already nine at night, so I was out cold in no time. At first, I felt bad about falling asleep on him. But then I remembered he wouldn't mind it. Not even halfway through the movie and I was asleep in his arms. You can't really blame me for doing so since I felt so tranquil and protected. 

A few moments after the credits rolled, Edward began to yawn. He once again grabbed the remote and turned off the TV.

"Hey, lass, you ready for-" Edward began but stopped himself when he saw you sleeping so soundly in his arms. A smile crept onto his face at the sight. Though he mentally decided not to disturb you. Carefully, he shifted positions so he could be comfortable with you as you both slept through the night.
