Wake Up Call (12)

When Iris woke up in a few hours, she felt both refreshed and embarrassed. Kyro just came back for her, and what did she do? She actually fell asleep! How could anyone be this careless?

'You're an embarrassment to all girlfriends,' Iris told herself, then shook her head and tried to raise from the bed.

To her surprise, there was a weight on her legs, and she looked over to see Lucy napping there. "I missed you," she told him with a smile and pulled him into a hug. Lucy gave her a dead fish stare, but didn't struggle.

Iris could feel his swift heartbeat under her fingers and smiled at the big fluff ball. He had suffered a lot because of her, but it didn't seem like he held it against her. All that bothered him was that she had woken him up from his nap.

"Sorry, sorry," she said and let him go. She then got out of bed and walked into the other room.
