I wake up to the sun shining brightly from the ceiling to floor window. The cool, fresh air of morning aura welcomes me.
I turn to my right side, getting a clear picture of Tobias. His soft snores make me grin. I'mtempted to wake him.
We work at the same photography company, FCP. I'm the photo editor and he is the publisher for one of our magazines. We are only one floor away, which works out well. We don't necessarilysee each other 24/7 but we can visit one another if we want to.
I reach myhand for his stubblecheek. I still as he stirs, but does not wake. Good.
My hand slowly, very slowly climbsup to his hair. I run my fingers through his locks of hair. Although this puts me at risk of waking him up, I still continue to do so. I can't control my body around him.
His deep blue eyes meet mine. His grin matches the one I had moments ago.
"Hi", I whisper.
"Good morning", he says in his sexy, gruff morning voice.
I smile and keep running my hands through his hair. He simply watches me in admiration. Love.
"I could get used to this".
I smile.
"We have to get ready", my smile falls.
"Hmm", I close my eyes and let my hand slump.
"We have work today".
"Hmm".
"Is that all you can say?" He sounds amused.
"Hmm". I grin at my stubbornness.
"Alright, don't say I didn't warn you". Oh no.
The bed shifts as I feel his presence leave. At first, I think he just went to take a shower when he grabs me by my waist and throws me over his shoulder.
I squeal as I open my eyes once again and see Tobias'sbareback. He swigs us in a full circle.
"Are you awake now?", he calls out.
"Yes, yes put me down!", I shriek.
He sets down on my two feet as I catch my breath. I feel his smile, along with my own, forming.
My smile doesn't last long thoughas I get extremelydizzy. The world around me spinning, as though I were on a carousel.
Tobias notices as soon as I start to sway, losing mygrip on the hardwood floor. His hand immediatelygoes to my back.
"Woah slow down there baby". He sits me down on the bed as I find it hard to keep my eyes in one place.
"Sorry". It barely comes out as a whisper.
After a few moments, it's gone.
"You okay?", he whispers as he reaches for my cheek and strokes it softly.
"Yeah, guess I just got down to fast."
I look into his worried eyes and smile. He's such a worrier. I mentallyroll myeyes.
As comfortable silence consumes us, Tobias leans in and kisses myforehead. Lingering for a few seconds.
"Come on, let's go take a shower", he grabs my hand as enter the bathroom and I close the door behind us.
