Chapter III: The Beginning of Something?

MIKE'S PLACE

Mike placed her bag on the floor by his door, Carolyn sat at the kitchen table and he made tea.

"What are the sleeping arrangements?"

Mike looked at Carolyn and sat down across from her at the table.

"Depends, which do you want, bed or couch?"

"Bed, it's comfortable, I'll take the right, you can take the left."

"Oh, so you trust me in bed with you?"

"I trust you with my life Mike, takes alot for a woman to trust you period, but I trust you."

NINE

Mike found Carolyn in the shower, he knocked on the door and went into the bathroom.

"I'm brushing my teeth Caro."

"Alright, I won't be out in the next ten minutes."

After brushing his teeth, Mike left the bathroom. He went into the bedroom, pulling back the covers to the newly made bed. Mike laid down on the left side and turned off the light. An hour later Carolyn came in and crawled into bed on the right side. She fell asleep and later Mike woke, he placed a kiss on her head and pulled the covers up since she was shaking due to being cold.

NEXT MORNING

Mike woke up to the sun, he was warmer then usual, he found Carolyn snuggled against him. She had one arm flung over him and he felt her legs tangled with him. Letting her sleep without waking her, Mike closed his eyes and let himself be lost to sleep again. Carolyn woke an hour later to find herself against Mike, it felt nice, sleeping in his arms. She snuggled closer and that woke him but by then she had closed her eyes, not seeing his. He slipped his arms around her more thinking she was asleep, Carolyn let her head settle in the crook of his arm. Mike looked at her, kissing her forehead before closing his eyes again.

TWO HOURS LATER

Mike woke to find himself alone in bed, he sat up and looked around the room, her bag was still there by the door. He got up and went into the kitchen, Carolyn stood drinking a cup of coffee. He went to her and kissed her head before grabbing a cup for him.

"Hi."

"Hi, someone slept well."

Carolyn smiled and nodded, she felt like she had slept for days, she never guessed sleeping in the same bed with him could cause that effect.

"I never knew that sleeping in the same bed with you could give me a good night's sleep."

"What does that mean?"

"Just means that you give me a good night's sleep."

Mike chuckled and went back to his coffee.
