Noelle
There's a heavy weight pressing against me. It's breathing against my ear, and I know before I open my eyes who it is.
He stayed last night.
The time before, he didn't.
I'm not sure how I feel about that.
Cal makes a noise in the back of his throat. It's deep and guttural, but at the same time, comforting. Relaxing back into his body, I exhale. For the first time in as long as I can remember, I'm not on the go. I'm not worried about where I need to be or what requires my attention. I'm in the moment.
I hope there's many more of these mornings coming, but I also know there has to be a conversation. And that conversation needs to happen before he leaves today.
"I can almost hear your brain going from over here." His voice is rough with sleep and sexy as hell.
