It was 4.30 in the morning, but Xander was already wide awake in his bed. He moved to open the curtains to check if the sun had already risen, but to his dismay, there was still nothing out there but darkness.
Since when had he ever had a second thought in doing things according to his liking? He sighed… After careful reflection on his part, he knew he should be more respectful and mindful of Yera's wants and requests.
He stood in front of the balcony door, looking outside through the transparent glass when he felt a pair of delicate arms hugging him from behind. "Why are you up so early?" Yera asked as she nestled her face on Xander's broad back. She grinned as she teasingly added, "Don't tell me you're waiting for the sun to be up?"
