I FELT WARM. A sweet fragrance filled my nose.

I opened my eyes and blinked rapidly so that I could adjust to the light. My right arm felt numb and static.

Gabriella's eyes were closed, her long eyelashes kissed her cheeks.

Her pink lips were slightly apart as she took slow calming breaths.Her dark brown hair was messy like waves in the night and covered almost half her face.

I smiled like an idiot as I watched her sleep.

So peaceful and innocent. I could just kiss her awake but she needs her rest.

Last night.

Last night was unexpected. It's the first time we've spoken in a vulnerable state. After our talk, I told her that I'll be heading home but she offered that I stayed for the night.

Gabriella groaned, then changed to a more comforting position.

I slowly lifted her head and gently placed her on the pillow. She snorted a bit and I chuckled.

Cute. I thought to myself.

I removed the covers and slowly stood up. I covered Gabriella then walked over to her bathroom.

Her bathroom is really big. Designed gold and white marble tiles on the wall and floor. There are two sinks displaced on the other side of the bathroom with a huge mirror and a cabinet below it.

On the right corner of the bathroom is the toilet. Right beside me is the huge glass shower. In the middle of the bathroom, there are mini stairs that lead to the bathtub with a sunroof-perfect view of the sky just above the bathtub.

I walked over to the sink and opened the cabinet. I found three new packed toothbrushes. I took one and removed it from its packet.

Wetting the brush I took the toothpaste and put on the brush then started to brush my teeth.

After that, I remove my boxers then enter the shower. I saw buttons with pictures on them. then randomly pushed one.

warm water poured on my body and I relaxed.

I close my eyes, running my fingers through my wet hair. I heard the bathroom door open and close.

The shower glass was fogged so I couldn't see Gabriella.

A few minutes passed then Gabriella walked in naked.

"Morning." she smiled. Wrapping her arms around my waist.

"Morning," I replied.

We stood in silence for a couple of seconds. Gabriella sighed as she began to plant little kisses on my back.

I turned around, wrapping my arms around Gabriella. She looked at me then kissed me.

The kiss was slow and heated.
