The sweet feeling of uttermost comfort and peace of mind isn't something I can get used to, each morning I wake up. I cannot just explain this calmness. The scent of fresh pine and cedarwood overwhelms my whole being as I rouse from slumber and instantly, I become conscious that I am not in a familiar environment.
With that new found discovery, I squint my eyes - trying to adjust to the surrounding that is being engulfed with blinding rays of sunlight. I yawn and stretch my body in a zigzag pattern that looks like as if I am being electrocuted by electricity--that kind of stretches you do when you just wake up from a very long and sweet sleep and then you curve and jerk your body in weird positions while yawning without any care in the world? Yup. That is how my body is behaving right now.
Strangely enough, it has been long I had a good sleep like this. I only sleep well if Ayo is close to me - wait, speaking of Ayo...
Shit Ayo!
In an attempt to get up, I immediately slip out of bed without thinking and yeah you got it right. The bed cover hooks my left foot and well, I tripped in a very graceful and royal manner. Thank goodness the floor is a wooden floor..or else I don't know if I'll be prolly bawling my eyes out by now if it was tiles I fell on.
"You see this thing? I swear you're dumb for messing with me in the first place. I hate you! Leave my leg right now or I'll curse you to death! You Idiot!" I yell at my unfortunate predicament as I am already a tangled mess on the floor. Why I am blaming the covers for my fall, I have absolutely no idea.
Seconds of silence and well..me still being a lazy human that refuses to get up, I sigh and stare at the room amusingly. I really did not take in the beauty of the room before and as a usual habit, I use my hands to touch my hair when I'm jobless - but then, a bonnet is over my hair!
Who put it on my head?
I don't think Kiki would do it...but then, maybe it's Jerry. Yeah, remind me to appreciate him later. Without realising it, I am soliloquising to myself like a madwoman.
"Woah, if this is how madness feels like, it definetly is not as bad as how people project it then." I mumble to myself and chuckle afterwards.
"Oh yeah, madness really suits you."
My mind mocks me. Unfortunately, that did not just sound like my subconscious speaking.
Wait...have I really gone mad?
Whipping my head so fast to my current surrounding, I finally notice someone is sitting or has been sitting at the edge of the bed all these while. I scream. No I'm not kidding. I scream like my life depends on it as I end up getting swallowed by the bed cover. Literally, I am under the covers.
