Nathaniel's Obsession

Rosalyn woke up early the next morning to find herself resting on Nathaniel's chest. She didn't intend to sleep for that long but it turns out she was just still very comfortable in his arms. Nathaniel was still asleep. She watched how his lashes famed his cheek. She had noticed how attractive he was when he wasn't keeping a scowl on his face. She instinctively placed a small kiss on his lips before she made her way out of bed and into the bathroom. She took a quick shower and brushed her teeth before she made her way to the fridge. She has no food. She only had some stale bread on the counter and nothing else. She would finally have to go grocery shopping today.

Rosalyn picked up her phone and proceeded to return her mother's missed call. She had too busy last night to even hear her phone ring.

"Hello mom, how are you?" Rosalyn said as soon as her mother picked up.

"Rosa darling! I called you yesterday and you didn't pick up. I was worried," her mom said into the phone. She could hear a lot of sounds in the background and she knew her mother was probably cooking. Her mom was always up early to start breakfast during the weekends and you had no excuse to be at the table.

"I'm sorry, mom. I was tired and I fell asleep. I didn't even realize I left my phone in the kitchen," she didn't even recall leaving her phone in the kitchen.

"I hope you plan to have breakfast. I'm making your father his favorite pancakes now. It's his birthday soon and you know how he gets," her mom said and she could just imagine her mother rolling her eyes at the end.

Rosalyn giggled a little before she spoke,
"Maybe you should make him an omelet too," she knew how much her father loved his eggs.

"Now you're talking darling," her father said into the phone. "Tell me you're coming home, kid,"

"Of course I am, dad. I would not miss your birthday for anything," Rosalyn said. Her father's birthday was next weekend and she was going to have it off again. She would get enough hours during this week so she could have the weekend off.

"That's great. Everyone's excited to have you back. We miss you," her mother said now.

"I miss you guys too," Rosalyn said. Her eyes caught movement before they connected with Nathaniel's. He was shirtless and his hair was all over the place, but he still looked very sexy.

"I'm going to have to go now, mom. I need to get some groceries," Rosalyn said to her mother while her eyes were still fixed on Nathaniel's. He was watching her and she couldn't read his eyes.

"Okay, darling. Be safe and see you soon. Love you,"

Rosalyn returned her love to her parents, assuring them they would see her soon before she hung up. Nathaniel walked to her and kissed the corner of her head before he spoke.

"Good morning,"

"Good morning to you too. You look refreshed," Rosalyn said her hands going up to his naked chest. She wondered how he managed to say in shape.

"Yes, for the first time in a long time my sleep was uninterrupted. I slept through the entire night," Nathaniel said his hands curling around her waist.

Rosalyn only sighed before she nuzzled her face into his chest.

"We need to get some groceries if we don't want to starve," Rosalyn said from his chest.

"Is that why you're up so early?" Nathaniel asked.

"Well yes and no. My mother always made us have breakfast on the weekend so early so it's something I'm already used to," She said looking up at him. It was just nice to talk to him while being in his arms. The connection she felt only seemed to become more intense since last night.
