Chapter 39: Home (Vanessa's POV)

"Vanessa." 

I chose to ignore the whispers that were trying to wake me up the next morning. 

"Nessa," he said, a little louder this time. 

I groaned, pulling away from him and rolling over so my back faced him. 

"Hey," he chuckled, grabbing my waist and pulling me into him but I kept my eyes closed. "Hello," he sang, lifting his arm from my waist and bringing a hand to my face, brushing my hair away and stroking my cheek softly. "Vanessa, wake up. Come on. We have a flight to catch and we haven't even packed our things." 

I huffed, opening my eyes. "That's the first thing you say to me when I wake up?" 

"No. The first thing I said was good morning, my love. But you went back to sleep five seconds later." 

I do faintly remember him saying something and kissing my forehead but I was too sleepy to comprehend any of it. 

"Wake up," he whispered against my ear and then kissed my cheek before letting me go and climbing out of bed but I rolled over onto my stomach, determined to stay in a bed a little longer. "I'm going to brush my teeth and wash up, you better be up by the time I get out, okay?" 

"Hmm," I mumbled, not moving. I heard the bathroom door close and still did nothing to get out of bed, made no move, not even an inch. I was falling back asleep when the bathroom door opened but I couldn't be bothered to open my eyes. 

"Jesus Christ, Vanessa." He walked over and I felt him climb and lay on top of me, on my back. "Get up," he mumbled, peppering kisses along my cheek. 

"Get off of me," I grumbled. "I can't breathe." 

"Wake up." 

"Get off." 

"Wake up." 

"Get off and I will." 

He sighed and slowly got back. "Wake up," he said a little louder. 

I still didn't move. He pushed the covers off my legs but I wasn't naked, so I didn't care. I had on his t-shirt and my own underwear. 

"Vanessa, I'm going to count to three." 

I snickered. 

"One... two..." Then he smacked my butt. Hard. 

My eyes snapped open and I rolled over quickly, staring at him in disbelief. 

He laughed, seeing the look on my face. "Get up." 

"Did you just spank me?" I chuckled, sitting up and kneeling on the bed right in front of him.
