Aftertaste (Sin #2)

VII.

The next morning, Alexander wakes me up with cursing when he has to turn my alarm off because I didn't hear it.

"Is it time to get up already?" I murmur, hoping I still have a few minutes left, at least.

"Fuck no," Alexander says. I hear and feel him shifting on the bed before he pushes his head back into the pillow.

I blink my eyes open and just stare at nothing in particular for a few moments to get a clear vision. When I look through the window, I see it's raining. What a perfect Monday morning.

I sigh, sitting up on the bed and rubbing my eyes. "Alex, we have to go to the class," I murmur, nudging him.

"I need to sleep," he protests.

I roll my eyes. He's really not a morning person and having morning classes is a curse for him. I go to the bathroom and let him rest. I don't need much time to get ready in the morning since I don't bother with make-up, although sometimes it makes me wish that I would put something on my face to make me look more presentable and not half dead.

When I get back out, Alexander is fast asleep and I'm now fully awake. I go to the bed and jump up on top of him, making his eyes snap open. "Holy fuck," he says, giving me a wide look.

"It's time to get up, baby," I sing sweetly.

He shifts in the bed and grins lazily, buckling his hips upwards. "Oh, I'm up alright."

I roll my eyes. "Don't even think about it." I get off him. "Come. I'll make us breakfast before we go."

"I'm going to come, yeah, just not to the university."

"I give you three minutes." I hold up three fingers. "If you're not out by then, I'll come here and drag you out," I warn him with a sweet smile.

"Wait, no. Come back here. You can wake me up all over again if you want." He spreads his arms out.

I shake my head, smiling. "Three minutes," I repeat.

"I can make you come in two," I hear him mutter behind me.

Leave it to him to have dirty thoughts at 7 in the morning and make me blush. "I heard that," I say.

"You could also experience it!" Alexander calls when I'm already out of the bedroom, headed towards the kitchen.

"Don't forget I can do the same to you. So if you come out in one minute ... we still have some time left," I call back, taunting him.

And I might've found the fastest way to get him out of the bed because he appears in the kitchen in just seconds. "You were saying?"

Classes go by slowly. Alexander sleeps through two of them, no matter how much I try to keep him awake. I suggested to him to go get a coffee, but he only made a disgusted face and that was the end of discussion. He's not a fan of coffee while I'm tolerating it if I add almond milk. I drank that for the first time when Rosanna made coffee for herself but there was only almond milk left that Amelia drinks since she's lactose intolerant and I quite liked the taste, although it has to be more milk than coffee.
