Must Read: Forever And Always

I pulled the duvet over and placed her head on my chest. “Kate, Please let me move on. I don’t want to see your face again anytime I want to make out with her. Please, am begging you” I said, almost in a whisper and strongly believing she heard me. “Are you satisfied with the tea?” I asked, after minutes of silence.

I lowered my eyes to see her lips slightly apart as soft light snores left them in rhymes. She snuggled closer to me and placed her right hand on my bare chest. “Goodnight my princess.

I love you” I muttered and planted a kiss on her forehead.

Dimming the bedside lamp, I slowly joined the sleeping beauty beside me in the dreamland.

“Morning” whispered a voice in my ear.
Opening my eyes, I looked beside me to see a smiling Tola. She touched my neck and forehead with the back of her palm and smiled. “You are feeling better” she said and got out of the bed. “Yes. I am” I replied, sprawling on the bed lazily. She came around to hit my arm playfully and that was when I saw her fresh laps.
The T-shirt I gave her did nothing to cover them.
I quickly averted my gaze away. “C’mon, its 6a.m, let’s start getting ready” .

“Wait. How did you manage to get up this early without an alarm? I mean, we slept very late” I blurted out, amazed at how she would wake up that early when we both slept late. “Well, let’s say I was pressed so I woke up, emptied my bowels and woke you up. Sleepy head”

I rolled my eyes as my stomach started to churn.

Throwing me a sharp stare over her shoulders, she walked to the closet. I stood up, stretched and joined her.

Heading over to the marble sink, I washed my face and looked for a spare toothbrush. Finding it, I strode over to her and offered her the toothbrush in my hand. We both stood there in an awkward silence, brushing our teeth. The only noise was the scrubbing of us brushing.

My eyes caught hers in the mirror. She smirked and looked down. Not being able to hold myself back anymore, I started laughing uncontrollably, almost choking on the toothpaste.
