Daggers in our Heart

Twenty-Third

Twenty-Third

I woke up feeling an unknown heaviness in my chest. My heart is pumping fast as if I am so nervous of something that I don't know.

Glancing on my side, I saw Joong who's still sleeping deeply while having his arm wrapped on my waist.

The weird feeling that woke me up started to ease suddenly as I stare at his peaceful face. That's all I need. It's now the 31st of December, there's no need to worry. Later enough, we will be welcoming the New Year together with our friend. It will be as fun as our Christmas Eve.

It's past 5 am and I can't go back to sleep so I just brushed my teeth and wash my face before laying again beside Joong.

I remained adoring his beautiful features as if it's my last. This moment is one of those which should be treasured. I mean, as if I can look at him like this when he's wide awake!! He'll just tease me until I pretend to be pissed when I'm just shy!!

I know it's not new to everyone but his features are really strong. Everything about him will always remain superior in my memory.

I hugged one of his arms and giggled sweetly as I continued to stare at him.

"Are you still asleep for real? Or you're faking it again?" I playfully asked making sure if he's really asleep or he's playing again. It's getting late, I know he'll be awake later if he's still not now.

"I'll kiss you now? Can I?" I asked again, teasing, trying to get a hint of reaction from him. I expected to see his lips curve into a smile but he remained closing his eyes.

That's when I planted a kiss on his cheeks multiple of times with an interval in between just so I can see if he's pretending to be asleep or not.

"So you're really sleeping" I concluded.

I just pouted while waiting for him to finally wake up. I don't wanna ruin his peaceful sleep just because I am craving for his morning attentions. I just stared at him until he finally opened his eyes to met mine.

He literally glanced immediately at my side the moment his eyes opened. See? He just woke up and now, he's already smiling. Looking like a sleepy puppy.

"You woke up late today. Aren't we leaving at 7 am?" I asked him but I myself can't even get up because I'm stuck staring at his newly woke up face.

It's really weird, I don't wanna go out now so I didn't really bother to wake him up. I just want to stare at him for the whole day, until the New Year arrive. Isn't that a great way to welcome the new year too?

"Should I fix myself now? You look like you enjoyed staring at me with love dripping in your eyes" he teased while pointing on my eyes.

"Right, we should fix ourselves now. It's already 6:30 am. We don't want our friends to rot while waiting for us" I answered as I stood up to get myself off the bed.

I grabbed my towel and hit him slightly with it on his leg when he just remained laying and just watching me move around.

"Stop, I'll get off now. You always hurt me, I feel battered" he chuckled as he made his way out of my room.

A quick bath followed by a quick fixing of my appearance happens next. I just wore a simple denim shorts and a pink shirt, we agreed to wear the vodoberry shirts at night with the boys. The six of us will surely look cute with that!!
