The Magical Words
The phone alarm rang at 5:30 in the morning. And Alexis slowly opened her eyes to turn off the alarm. She could feel the warmth of Vorian's body behind her and could also feel the weight of his arm around her waist.
Not wanting Vorian to leave her side, she did not wake him up. She wanted to stay like that in his embrace for some more time.
But she thought that she was behaving selfishly and was going to make him late. Though they had ample amount of time before reaching to the base, it was always better to account for some unfortunate mishaps like the car breaking down or something. That was the reason why Vorian wanted to hit the road an hour earlier than what was necessary.
Alexis did not want to feel guilty if something like that made Vorian late for his ship. So in the end, she put aside her desire to stay in his arms for some more and woke him up.
She turned around and gently placed her hand on his jaw, "Vorian, it's time to wake up."
