The ringing of the alarm clock woke Michael up from his deep sleep. He rubbed his eyes and sat up with a grunt looking around his bedroom. He stretched his arms and looked down, seeing the naked back of a female right next to him.
Then it clicked. He slept with his "ex" wife, Naomi. She laid on her stomach and faced the other way. Her hair was loose and sprawled out across her back as she softly snored. Michael exhaled deeply and ran a hand down his face before carefully easing out of the bed.
He felt his boxers on the floor below him and kicked it up with his foot and caught it before slipping it on to go to the bathroom. Naomi stirred in her sleep a little as Michael yawned, looking into his mirror
It was 7am, but his room was still dark considering his whole house has a whole modern black colored theme. In the corner of his eye he sees her sit up. He caught a glimpse of the woman's exposed breasts as she stretched her muscles and then emerged into the white sheets again. "Michael?" Her groggy voice asked and he didn't look her way
"Naomi, you needa leave." He spoke. His voice echoed from the bathroom a bit and she didn't answer at first before furrowing her brows. "I gotta leave? Why?" She asks
She could've sworn they had made up. They were in a bad place before and talking was "supposed" to make things better. She heard the faucet running as Michael scooped up water into his hands and lightly splashed it onto his face. "I'm going to work." He answered nonchalantly. "And you have a meeting to get to, right? Or a party was it?" He asked
She inwardly scoffed and held the covers closer to her chest. "If you're talking about the meeting I had to attend last night then you're wrong. You told me to stay here."
"Well.." he trailed off, intensely gazing at himself in the mirror as he subtly shaved, "I want you to leave now."
Naomi scoffed louder as he finished what he was doing and began to prepare a warm shower. "So this was all for nothing." She says in more than a statement than a question and he looked back at her in confusion
"What? The sex?"
"Nahh." She sarcastically dragged as she scrambled around for her clothing which was simply the dress she previously had on last night. He rolled his eyes at her sarcasm and crossed his arms. "I don't need the sarcasm."
"Why'd you bring me here? To waste my time?" She questioned, gradually becoming angry and he shook his head. "I told you I want this to work out, I never said when." He shrugged
