seventy two ; take one

I'm surprised when I wake up to see that T is still asleep. Cuddled tightly into my chest with a slight pout on her lips. Though I know she would be mad about it, I grab the phone off the table and start filming.

"Alright, morning guys. Tenley and I are here to bring you on a day in our life. Quarantine edition," I chuckle to myself as I lift my body up slightly. T shuffles for a minute before opening her eyes.

"Cal? What're you doing hon?" Her dark eyes seem to twinkle in the dark as she looks up at me.

"Good morning darling," she smiles as I kiss her lips soft, and slowly. Before she turns to see the phone on us. She laughs and sets her head back on my chest with a yawn.

"Anyways. We usually don't wake up at the same time, and we're usually not super early birds- well I'm not. Almost everyday T wakes up before me but she's been feeling not so awesome lately and she's been getting lots of sleep. So, I was up first today. But, probably not tomorrow."

I yawn, turning away from the light. Tenley moves for a second pointing to the shower, and I nod.

"Our days have been pretty different. We're not ever consistent but today T is gonna take a shower and I'm gonna make us some coffee and then head in for a shower to. So...be right back."

I toss my phone on my bed and rush to meet Tenley. She's leaning into the shower turning on the water so I grip her waist from behind tucking my face into her neck. She steps out of the shower and smiles.

"You're in a good mood?" I nod.

"It's easier to be in a good mood when you're feeling better. Plus your cute as fuck."

"Thank you," I wrap my arms around her in the dark bathroom and just smile to myself until I'm interrupted.

"You're cute too but, can I have a shower?"

"Here let me help," my hands move under the big tshirt she's wearing, pulling it over her head. She giggles as I spin her, a pair of black panties hugging her hips are the only thing remaining. "Damn."

"Could you just get in the shower please?" She gives me a little shove, and we finish stripping out layers off before stepping into the big shower.

The water is warm against my chest as it pours out. And Tenley lets out a relaxed sigh as soon as she's under the water. I will never completely understand why she has showers here in the dark, but at the same time I can see exactly how relaxing they are especially early in the morning. She turns to look at me with this massive goofy smile on her face and says,

"Wash day?"

"You really want me totes and follow your routine? It looks so complicated!"

"Oh my god, look at it," she points to her small collection of things on the floor by the bathtub. "Wash with that shampoo, wash with conditioner, and use that heave conditioner while you wash your face and body."

"Hmm," I look from the products to her and smile. "I think I need to see it happen."

"You're sure a frickin loser. But as long as you do it."

She moves past me, her small tanned body still visible in the dark. Holding her hand out for mine she waits, pouring some of the shampoo in it.

Although I know how to wash my hair, and I have seen her follow her routine before I watch closely. Running the product through my growing bleached hair, and I get distracted. Soap runs from her long curly hair, down her back and body slowly but surely. She's smart by doing this with me, knowing I would do what she said if I could watch her.

"See look," as the final step of conditioner is washed from my hair she steps up to me. Stretching to run her fingers through my hair, tugging slightly with a sly smile.

"Mhm," she giggles, going to move around me but I stop her. Hand on her waist and push her thighs back against the tile of the tub. And her smile is mochevious.

"You know what you do to me," she nods, her hand trailing down my side. Her light touch against my ribs makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up but she shakes her head.

"You've got a little job to do today," I sigh as she grips a bottle of body soap off the edge. "So we better get back to it."

"Oh, unfair. I can have a little fun while on the job can't I?" She shrugs, but I grab the soap from her smiling. "You know I can."

She watches me with a deep look in her eyes as she takes a little bit of her favourite soap, the one that smells like sandalwood. She watches from her spit, pressed up against the cold tub and I approach her, and slowly drag my hands along her body. Of course the body wash is important, but if she wants to play this game, I can play it better.

She gets closer with my touch, pressing her front against my own, and a small blush appears on her cheeks. But not enough for it to be noticeable. I fall for her a little bit, dropping down to kiss her and it feels like heaven. My large heavy hands are exploring her body in ways I know, but they feel as if it's new territory.

She had slight roughness on the inside of her thigh, from her body growing years ago - small stories for me to learn. And the length of her torso feels different, longer even. Her ribs are there, and I know her lungs are strong beneath them. Her chest is soft and very relaxed beneath my skin. Her face is settled into an expression that is both familiar and sparsely seen. The expression of tease, and annoyance. And I laugh.

"Alright, you jerk, get out and film your little show." Her hands land on my chest as she pushes me towards the door slightly. And I laugh as she manages to shove me out of the shower, stumbling onto the mat.

"Wait, show me how to make my hair look like yours?" Her eyes roll, but she nods and follows me out of the shower.

"Fuck, Cal.." I turn to see her growing, a towel wrapped tightly to her chest. "Can you grab me something to wear?"

"Well, you could just not-"

"Calum, please I don't wanna drip all over the floor," I nod, slinging my towel around my waist and walking into our closet. I grab the first thing I see, knowing she organizes her clothes so her dresses are the first thing she sees. And When I walk back to the bathroom she has an eyebrow raised.

"What? You look cute in pink."
