Because Of You

Just Wait

Leo's POV

        I awoke to my alarm blaring throughout my room. I reached my arm out and used my hand to search for the phone. When my finger hit the glass screen, I was glad to no longer hear the terrible screeching noise ringing through my ears.

I was about to get out of bed, but two arms were firmly wrapped around my waist preventing me from moving away. I turned over to see Emmett's peaceful face still deep in sleep.

        "Baby, I need to go to work," I said as I stroked his cheek lightly with the tips of my fingers.

I watched as Emmett twisted and turned, removing his arms from around me. His eyes fluttered open, as one of his hands came to rest on top of my hand that was on his cheek. A smile filled his lips, and his eyes sleepy stared into mine.

        "Good morning." Emmett crooked as he greeted me. I pressed my lips softly against his for a few seconds. When I pulled away, Emmett pulled me closer to him.

        "I have to get ready for work." I laughed gently as I pulled away from him. Emmett pouted slightly but then he just extended his arms out to me, making a grabbing motion with his hands.

        "I want another kiss before you go." I let out a light sigh and bent over just enough for him to kiss my lips. Emmett attempted to deepen the kiss by placing a hand on the back of my neck and his other hand on the side of my cheek. I let our kiss last a few more seconds before I had to pull away.

         "I love you. Go back to sleep. I will be back a little after four." I gave his hand a small squeeze and then realized it from my hold. Emmett shifted and pulled the covers over him a bit more.

        I walked over to my dresser and pulled out a dark blue button-up shirt and a pair of black dress pants.

After I got the clothes on, I cuffed the bottoms of the pants and then slipped on my black high top converse.

I rushed out of my room with my phone in my pocket, and a backpack full of notebooks and writing utensils flung over my shoulder.

         "Dad, I'm ready to go." Frank walked up to me with a wide smile across his face.

        "Okay go out to the car, I will be out in a few minutes." I rushed out the front door and hopped into the passenger's seat. Frank came out about two minutes later, with fresh coffee in a portable coffee cup.

The ride to the school was quiet. When I got out of the car, I walked into the building and directly to the classroom I would be helping teach.

Emmett's POV

        I woke up only to realize that it was almost noon. It was a bit uncomfortable to wake up in Leo's bed without him beside me.

I checked my phone for any notifications. When I saw that I received a text from Leo a few hours ago, I quickly unlocked my phone to look at the message.

Leo: 'Good morning beautiful! I have a break at 12:00 if you want to call me. I love you, and I hope to hear from you in a few hours.'

My heart raced as I read the message a few more times. It's only three minutes until noon, so I at least have something to look forward to.

I quickly got out of bed and rushed into my bedroom. I slipped on a new shirt and pants. I checked the time and was happy to see the time switch from eleven fifty-nine, to twelve.

I opened up my contacts and clicked on Leo's icon. I brought the phone up to my ear.

It only rang twice before Leo picked up the phone.
