Note: lots of warm thanks for all the reviews xx just a very short chapter with more snuggles and joy :)
Neela felt as though she was floating on air. Stretching languidly, she admired Ray's lean body which was still damp from the shower. The towel twisted about his waist caught the rivulets of water that ran between the ridges of muscle on his stomach. Seeing that Neela was awake, he leaned over her and shook his head so that water from his hair splattered her.
"Yaah!" She squealed and retreated beneath the duvet. "That's not nice. Whyncha make a girl happy by bringing some breakfast?"
Neela felt his weight settle on top of the duvet and long-fingered hands search beneath the cover for her.
"I'm sure I made this girl pretty happy a while ago and it definitely wasn't breakfast I gave her." Ray heard the muffled giggle before he felt the muffled whack on his arm. "Ok, I surrender. I'll use my skills to search out some decent coffee." He planted a kiss roughly where he thought her head was and headed towards the kitchen.
Popping her head out, Neela couldn't help the grin that spread across her face. She closed her eyes, she could still feel his warm embrace and still smell his scent on her pillow. This was bliss. From the kitchen she could hear the rattling of pots and the faint 'phut phut' of the percolator.

Returning to the bedroom bearing a tray laden with fresh coffee and pancakes, Ray was met by the beautiful sight of Neela's sleeping figure. He carefully set the tray down on the dressing table before crossing over to lightly kiss her awake.
"I must have dozed off," Her voice was husky with sleep.
"Breakfast is served." He nodded in the direction of the dressing table as the aroma of fresh coffee wafted over to them, "It'll get cold."
Neela studied him for a moment then pulling him down to her she reached for the towel. "Leave it, I need to work up an appetite first."

"Will you look at that? They're like two teenagers." This came from Abby.
"It makes you sick," said Frank in disgust.
"Aw, c'mon you two, they're happy and in love, let them enjoy it." Luka remonstrated them.
The three of them surveyed Ray and Neela from the desk as the roomies flickered adoring glances at each other whenever they could.
"Were we ever like that? Please say we weren't." Abby directed this at Luka but Frank answered for him.
"Yup, you'd better believe it, just as bad."
Abby and Luka grinned at each other and shrugged.
