Indifference

Emotions

Day 24 – The morning after

It's early and Yue wakes up trapped in Dylan's body, wrapped by his bear hug again. His embrace is by far the warmest and coziest place in the world. She could definitely wake up like this every single day for the rest of her life. However, does she want that?

She holds him closer and Dylan starts waking up as well. He opens his eyes and his beautiful, elusive wife is finally lying next to him. He has dreamed about this instant; he has played it in his mind over and over, what he would say to her, what he would do, what he would want her to answer...

You by the light is the greatest find

In a world full wrong you're the thing that's right

Finally made it through the lonely to the other side

"Hey, good morning, princess - he tells her kissing her forehead. – How are you today?"

Yue smiles and nods. She loves it when he calls her princess, but she hates the fact that morning breath is not royal at all... They make it look like nothing in the movies, but it does not feel that way for Yue.

"You can talk, I don't care."

She shakes her head and covers her mouth with the sheets.

"Alright, let's go brush our teeth and meet back here in 3 minutes! Not more!"

She nods enthusiastically and then puts on her magical pajamas.

They rush to their bathrooms and then return inside the temperate and silky sheets again, and back into each other's arms.

"Shen Yue, I want to wake up with you every morning. You're staying here from now on. Bring your clothes and your things. This is our bedroom, no more separate stuff," Dylan tells her with a luminous and intense glare.

"Huh? Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why do you want to wake up with me every morning?"

"So I can kiss you whenever I want," he says printing a mushy kiss on her lips.

Yummy... She likes his minty kisses...

"And that's it?" Something tells her there is more...

Dylan grins; there surely is more! "And so I can love you whenever I want..." he admits pulling her closer to feel her body against his.

"Alright..." she answers timidly but incredibly giddy.

They cuddle for a while, both pretending not to desire more than hugs and chaste kisses, when the truth is, they cannot stop thinking about their meet-and-greets from just a few hours ago.

In reality, Dylan is worried because he noticed this was her first time, he is wondering whether she feels any discomfort or not. Therefore, he decides to ask.

"Shen Yue, are you ok? I mean, does anything hurt? You know you can tell me, professionally and personally. It shouldn't, but just in case..."

"No. I mean, I can feel that something happened, I spotted a little..." she says embarrassed, closing her eyes.

"I know, don't worry. Anything else?"

"Um... It... Burns a little, not a lot... But I don't know if it's..."

"It's what?"

She puts the pillow on her face and utters: "I am not sure if it's because of what we did..."
