Alessandra shifted in the bed, rolling on her side while she continued to sleep but the lack of Edgar's arms around her as they were every morning woke her up. She opened her eyes, looking to the side of the bed where Edgar normally slept, and found it empty.
Alessandra sat up, rubbing her face to get rid of the tiredness. "Oh," she noticed her exposed chest, and right away the events of last night came rushing back to her. She pulled the sheet up to cover her chest. She looked around the room for Edgar and started to wonder if he had left her all alone but the sound of water splashing in the bathroom calmed her.
"I should get a night before he comes out. Oww," Alessandra groaned when she tried to leave the bed. She felt sore between her legs which was surprising considering it wasn't like this when she finally went to bed. It wasn't unbearable but she could not get off of the bed at the moment.
