Bright's eyes flew open. He was on his back, staring at the cream colored ceiling. The clock rhythmically ticked away, counting away the seconds of time that drifted away. Bright didn't check it, the room had grown lighter and by his estimate it must have been about 5:30am. He slowly rolled over and took in the sight before him. Mirai had pulled the covers around her like a cocoon. He swallowed loudly and felt his face grow hot. His first time with a woman, with Mirai… Memories came rushing back to him, sending a shiver through his body. He suppressed them, as a gentleman must always do, and slowly rolled back onto his back. However, he couldn't sleep. His head was swimming with emotions, happy ones, sad ones, even erotic ones. He carefully got out of the bed and threw on a robe. He walked to the window and peeked out. The sun was rising over the city in a rich golden shine. He turned away and found himself looking back to his girlfriend. He looked around before finding his cell phone on the night table where he'd left it.
"Mirai's sleeping face…" he mumbled as he flipped it open and activated the camera. He got as close as he could and quietly snapped the photo. And just like that, her quiet vistage was captured forever. Bright found himself flustering again and quickly shut his phone with a snap. When he looked up from the front display (6:10am) he yelped.
"M-Mirai, when did you wake up?" She sat up and rubbed her eyes.
"Long enough for…" She pointed at the cell phone in his hands. He slammed it down on the night stand and flopped down on the bed. She laughed lightly and laid down next to him, snuggling up close.
