Surprised

Erasmi woke up slowly, blinking as the morning light filtered through the curtains. He felt the warmth of Ava beside him before he saw her, but when he looked down, he was surprised to find her already awake, her eyes fixed on him.

"What would you like for breakfast today?" he mumbled, his voice thick with sleep, not yet fully awake and yet already thinking on the next chore of the day.

Ava smiled, and keeping in mind her new plan, she looked up at him and smiled," You."

He blinked then, giving her a stare that was so confused she almost giggled.

Erasmi's mind struggled to catch up with her words. What did she mean. Hsd the sleepiness made him lethargic and slow? Before he could fully process what she'd said, her hand slipped under his shirt directly onto his chest, almost jolting him awake. His eyes widened, reminding him that his ears were probably not playing jokes on him.
