496. Roused Up
Mauve's eyes flew open and she was greeted with the brightest eyes ever. However, the first thing she registered before how pretty his eyes were, was how intensely he was staring at her.
"Oh, you're awake." He said and leaned forward to kiss her forehead.
Mauve stretched a little as she let out a yawn. "What happened?" She asked while yawning. "Can't sleep?" She peered at him, it didn't feel like she had been asleep for long.
"Something like that," he said with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Mauve's eyes narrowed. "Is it because of me?" She asked with a very concerned look. "Was I snoring?"
She knew Jael was a pretty light sleeper and even the change of her heartbeat could wake him up.
He laughed, "No, trust me."
"Have you slept at all?" She asked, fully awake now and equally concerned.
"You worry too much," he said and poked her nose before pulling her to himself and wrapping her in a bear hug.
