The pressure of soft lips against my spine has me slowly returning to the land of the living. When I turn to my side and look over my shoulder at him I can't help but give him a slight glare. "You cannot be wanting to go another round." I honestly lost count of how many times we made love through the night, and I'm colored by soreness and exhaustion because of it.
He leans in, releases a soft attractive masculine sort of chuckle, and kisses me on the cheek. "No, Baby. I was waking you up because it's just past ten."
I turn over more so on my side and widen my eyes at him. "You mean I slept into the double digits?" I don't remember the last time I did that. Probably either before my parents' death or just after I was placed in my Foster home.
"Yes, the others are all awake already and waiting for you so we can all eat breakfast together." That's when I notice the ship is still moving, and I remember that we unfortunately won't arrive in Syracuse, Sicily until around noon.
I nod my head letting him know I am definitely awake, even if I really want to stay in my sanctuary of blankets and relax, and he promptly moves to let me get past him and wash my face. As I stand from the bed I stumble for a moment and glare at him, even though there is no heat in my eyes. "You. You did this."
He chuckles. "Are you really complaining, Baby?"

I sigh. "Only about the fact that I am walking funny. Besides, I am the one that didn't pay attention to the bottle when I purchased it."
When I glance in the mirror I groan at my crazy hair, but I am thankful that I somehow don't have shadows under my eyes. I'll have to wait on my shower until after breakfast so I grab a bottle of leave-in conditioner and use that to help smooth out my hair a bit before I even attempt to brush it.
When I arrive at our private dining room I am still limping slightly, but it is hopefully not as noticeable. All of my other soulmates are there waiting on me, but my face falls when I realize that they have no food in front of them. I notice Jk and Tae frown at me for a moment, obviously spotting the way I was walking. Yoongi gives me a curious look and promptly announces. "I'm staying with Daisy tonight."
