My Second Life

Chapter 10

I wake with a purpose. Today Daymon and I journey to find my father. Leaving the comfort of my bed I walk across the hall to Daymon's room to wake him up. His door is the same dark, chocolate, wood as mine with a silver door handle. Inside the room is beautiful. The walls are painted a scarlet red with a black trim. All furniture and accessories match the wood on the door. Daymon is sound asleep in his four poster bed, with the think, fluffy blankets wrapped around him. Daymon lay there shirtless on his stomach with his hair tousled a bit.

I gently sit on his bed and move his hair from his face and whisper, "Daymon".

He doesn't move.

"Hey, we need to start getting ready to leave, get up", I say bit louder.

I rub his back, hoping to wake him. I start tracing the muscles in his back, down to the muscles in his bicep.

"Enjoying yourself there?". Daymon's muffled voice makes me jump and turns my face a deep red from embarrassment.

"Oh, um, yeah, I was just trying to wake you up", I say.

Daymon sits up against his bed, fixing his hair a little bit.

"Mmhm, thats all you were doing", he gives me his lopsided grin, almost a smirk.

Daymon takes my hand and kisses it, then pulling me closer to him he kisses my shoulder, trailing kisses up my neck to my lips. I sit with his bare arms around me. Daymon whispers into my hair, "How did I end up with the most beautiful girl on land and sea?"

"Eh, you just got lucky", I reply laughing.

Rolling his eyes, Daymon kisses me before saying, "Maybe we should start getting ready to go now".

"Mmmm yeah, but I'm more comfortable right here", I laugh.

"When we solve this mess with the Diru we'll have all the time in the world to be here together as we are now. But we are on a mission at the moment".

I crawl off the bed holding Daymon's hand until it drops. Walking out, I cross the hall to my room.
