Soft shadows played across the room as a streak of
sunlight peaked through the almost closed curtains. Morning was just
breaking outside as the occupants began to stir.
Bobby lifted his head as Sue moved next to him, watching as her eyes fluttered open. Confusion flitted across her face as she turned her head slightly to scan the room. As her eyes met his, calmness settled across her features as she remembered where she was.
"Good morning, shelia," Bobby smiled, propping his head on his hand as he looked down at her. "How are you feeling?" he asked as her eyes focused on his mouth.
"Okay," Sue responded tentatively. In the early morning light, she was having trouble seeing his lips clearly. "What are you doing in my bed?" she questioned, glancing down at where they laid side by side.
"We never did get a chance to discuss sleeping arrangements," Bobby winked mischievously. "And the doc said last night that you shouldn't be left alone…" his voice trailed off as he grinned down at her.
"Ah, so you snuck into my bed to look out for my best interests," Sue nodded, nibbling on her bottom lip. "Does that kind of logic work on Darcy?" she asked with raised eyebrows.
"Hasn't yet, but one of these days…" Bobby smiled devilishly, leaning over her to flip on the light as he noticed her squinting. "Hey, my irresistible charm did get her to go out with me," he boasted, hearing her chuckle softly.
"Are you sure it wasn't because she felt sorry for you?" Sue taunted, blinking at the bright light, but thankful to be able to see him clearer.
"Hey, just for that, I'm not going to make you breakfast in bed," Bobby stated, feigning hurt as he sat up and looked down at the wrinkles in the dress shirt and slacks he'd slept in.
"And just how did you plan on doing that?" Sue questioned, pulling the comforter up around her chin as he folded the blanket from the living room that he'd used as a cover. "We don't have a kitchen," she reminded him as he headed for the door.
"Yes, my dear," Bobby agreed, pausing as he bent down to place a kiss on her forehead. "But I do know how to dial room service," he stated, turning on his heel as her laughter filled the room.
