love at first sight

12. Paper work

Spencer woke up at 5am right as the sun was rising.

He had the tendency to wake up the minute the sun started to rise.

Elle was fast asleep right next to him so he got up as quietly as he could trying not to make much noise.

But with his luck, Elle started to move. "Shh, shh, go back to sleep." He said, as he moved her hair from her face and kissed her forehead.

He got up, used the restroom, poured mouth wash in his mouth, and started a pot of coffee in the kitchen. He rummaged through her cabinets to find the coffee grains. He tried to make as little to no noise as possible.

He spent an hour by himself, in the 60 minutes he was alone he looked at the pictures Elle had hung up. Some were of her family, others were random. He found a couple of when she was on vacation, and some with friends.

He read this one book Elle had in her living room, he found a book mark in it, so he assumed she was still reading it; he made sure not to move the book mark.

He let Elle sleep in since they didn't have to go in until 9am that day.

She woke up at 7:00am on the dot. She didn't see Spencer next to her so she assumed he went back home. She was upset, but there wasn't much she could do, so she did her morning routine.

She walked into the kitchen without realizing she passed Spencer who was laying on the couch reading her book.

She made a pot of coffee, "How'd you sleep?" Spencer asked from the living room.

Elle jumped, "Jesus Christ!"

"Sorry." Spencer said, as he gritted his teeth.

"You scared the living hell out of me!" Elle said, as she walked over to Spencer. Elle smiled as she wrapped her hands on Spencer's waist, "Good morning." She smiled up at him. "I slept good, to answer your question."

Spencer wrapped his hands around her back since he was much taller than Elle, "that's good." He kissed her forehead, "Sorry if I woke you this morning."

Elle furrowed her eyebrows, "woke me?"

"Yeah, I got out of bed and you started to wake up. Sorry."

"Oh. I don't remember." She shrugged. Elle hugged him and she didn't let go until she heard her coffee boiling.

Spencer kissed her head, than forehead, again. He felt that her forehead was a bit warm. "You feel warm." He said, as he frantically felt around her face. "The walk must've made you sick."

"That's strange. I don't feel sick."

"Drink some tea instead." Spencer commanded.

"No, I hate tea."

"But it's good for you."

"But I hate it."

"But it's good."

"I don't like it."

"Fine." Spencer smiled. Elle grinned as she got her way.

"At least swallow a pill before work, so you don't get sick." Elle nodded.

"So, what's the plan?" She said, as she sat in the stool next to Spencer.
