Waking Up In The Morning

It was a comfortable situation for both of us, and by the time I finished my homework, Michael was still frowning at a pile of papers at his desk.

I didn't want to disturb him, nor did I want to leave his side, so I watched him.

I somehow dozed off in the warm study with Michael's pleasant scent. Then, I felt someone gently lift me. I knew it was Michael, so I fell asleep with more confidence.

This sleep was very deep and comfortable.

When I woke up, the sky outside was already bright. I saw that I had been changed into my pajamas and felt very refreshed. I didn't know if Michael had washed me when he carried me back last night.

I turned to look at Michael's face. I had dozed off in the study the day before, wondering what time Michael would finish working.

Michael was facing me, his long arms and legs unashamedly exposed under the covers, unafraid of catching a cold.
