Ghost In The Dark

Cold Trails

BLAKE'S P.O.V.
Morning came as the sun shined through the blinds of my bedroom window. The birds outside my window sang as they flew by and landed on a branch in the tree next door. It seems today would be a good day. Still feeling exhausted and feeling the usual morning headaches I got out of bed and walked into the bathroom. Popped open the medicine cabinet door and took out two pills of aspirin and swallowed it with the aim of relieving the pain.

I got into the shower, turned it on and stepped under as the cold water rained down on my body washing the tired away. I got out of the shower and slipped into a black trouser and white long sleeved shirt and a black jacket over it.

I went downstairs and went straight to the kitchen to make myself something to eat but breakfast was already served. It seems Christina is here

"Good morning sleepy head" She said from behind me

"Morning princess" I replied as I turned around to look at her

"I didn't want to be the one to wake you up so I let nature do it for me" She said with a smile on her face

That would explain why the blinds in my room were up

"When did you get in?" I asked taking my seat on the island in the kitchen

"About an hour ago" She said as she poured me a glass of apple juice

"I think I'll prefer coffee this morning" I said "I'm still feeling rather exhausted and my head is killing me" I added

"Hmm coffee it is then" She said drinking the glass of apple juice
She turned around and place a mug in the coffee machine as it poured the dark coffee in it. She grabbed the mug from under the machine and turned around to look at me

"Sugar for my sugar?" She asked winking at me

"Two please" I said as I laughed at her attempts to flirt

She picked up two cubes of sugar and added it to the cup of coffee before stirring it with a spoon and placing it in front of me

"Thank you" I said as I picked up the cup and took a sip "So what did the bride to be need yesterday?" I asked as I placed the mug down and turned to look at her

"Oh she just needed me around to talk about some things concerning her wedding" She said

"I needed you too" I said mumbling into my cup of coffee

"Did you say something?" She asked as she took a seat besides me

"No, nothing" I said

"I'm sorry I haven't been around lately" She said to me as she held my hand "I just want to make sure that Marina doesn't do this alone" She added

"I understand" I said.

"Are you sure?" She asked

"Yeah" I said

I did understand but sometimes I wished she'd choose to be with me rather than Marina and sometimes it gets really lonely here. We sat down in silence as we ate the toasted bread and eggs that she made when she arrived

"We have a few minutes before we'll have to go to work. What do you want to do?" She asked as she dumped the empty dishes into the sink

"Well I can think of a few things that I've been dying to do to you" I said smiling as I walked towards her

"Oh yeah?" She asked as she wrapped her hands over my shoulders

Pulling her close I wrapped my hands around her waist and pulled her close to me "Yeah" I said before placing my lips over hers. Our lips still connected I picked her up and placed her on the island and moved my hands around her hips.
