Chapter 1

Mia's P.O.V.

I woke up, the sunlight bright in my eyes. My shirt was stuck to my clammy back, and an arm was slung tightly around my waist. I slowly turned over, to see Alex, my boyfriend of three years, sleeping peacefully. I smiled at his innocence, his vulnerability as he slept. I turned back over and he stirred a little in his sleep. I looked at the alarm clock. 10:15 a.m, it read.
"Oh shit!" I said jumping up. I was late for work. I grabbed my towel and deodorant and ran into the bathroom, slamming the door shut. I turned on the water, shaking my leg anxiously waiting for the water to warm up. I hurried up and stripped my clothes off, sliding the door open and jumping into the now hot water. My skin burned at first but who cared? My boss was gonna be pissed.

I washed my hair, quickly scratching through my scalp to make sure it was clean, and rinsing my body thoroughly to make sure I was nice and fresh.

Ugh, damn bed, I thought. I hopped out of the shower, wraping a towel around my body, and another towel around my hair.

I swung the bathroom door open and skipped into the room since I was barefoot. When I got into the room, I rubbed my hair in between my towel so that it could dry. Then, I began to search frantically through my drawer for a bra and panty set. I looked up in the vanity's mirror to see Alex proped up on a pillow, smirking.
"Somebody's late," he said.
"You think?"
"I don't know. I'm getting quite a show here." I rolled my eyes at the comment. He got up from the bed, only in his black Calvin Klein boxers. I looked down and bit my lip as if I didn't know he were coming up behind me. He wrapped his arm around my waist, nuzzling his face into my wet neck. Then, he slowly began kissing up my neck.

"You smell good," he murmmered into my neck.
"Moonlight Path," I said leaning my head to the side. Then I felt him slide his hand up to the fold in my towel that was keeping it held up. My eyes widened, and I quickly grabbed his hand.
"Alex, stop," I said.
"C'mon baby, lemme just get a peek."
"Alex, you already know how I feel about this shit. C'mon stop, please..I'm about to be late for work." Alex knew I was still a virgin, and I've never actually been completely naked in front of him as long as we'd been together.
"Okay babe," he said leaving one last soft kiss on my neck and turning me around to give me a sweet peck on my lips. Then he walked out of the room, probably to make breakfast.
I put on my undergarments and proceeded to pick out my outfit for the day: a peach colored blouse with a brown belt to accent, some cream colored slacks, and my brown heels. I put on a white and gold bracelet/bangle type thing and my watch necklace. I pulled my long black, wavy hair into a high ponytail and did a bun.

"Bye babe," I yelled to Alex before closing the door shut. Now it's off to work.
