Our Place

"You can do that but still go to law school?"

Beth turned her head to other side of the bed to see Olivia. She had just woken up. She was trying to open her eyes against the bright sunlight coming through the huge window in front of their bed. Her green eyes were reminiscent of a masterpiece with sunlight. She raised her hand and covered her eyes. She continued looking at Beth under her hand. Beth smiled and turned to her painting again. She was trying to draw the view, so she wouldn't forget. The view she woke up with. The view that has been watching them. The view of their break. The view of their place.

"Should we go out for breakfast or stay in?"

"I don't know what do you want?"

Olivia said something but Beth couldn't understand her because she spoke while holding a barrette with her lips, she was doing her hair.

"What?" Beth raised her voice a little towards the open bathroom door. A minute later, Olivia came back to the room with her messy bun and spoke as she got to bed and hugged Beth's waist from behind, "I said," she started kissing Beth's neck, "You don't look like you really want to go out."

Beth laughed and grabbed Olivia's arms around her waist. "Can I be honest?"

"Yes. Please be," Olivia laughed.

"I prefer eating while completing my painting."
