Chapter 68 - Warm Mornings (1/2)

I feel the bright sunlight coming into the window so I tightly close my eyes and bury my head further into the warm blankets. I hate mornings... A low chuckle slowly pulls me out of my sleep state but when I feel a brush of fingers across my cheek, I instantly sit up.

Bai Lei lays on his side while propping up his head with a lazy smile on his face. His long black hair cascades down his shoulders, stopping to rest on his white pillow. I was snuggled up against his chest! I scoot further back and quickly climb out of the bed.

I run my fingers through my hair as I awkwardly say ”Caffeine...” I quickly walk out of the room and don't stop until I get to the kitchen. As I've said before, I can't take anything bitter so the only way to get caffeine is my Coca-Cola.

I grab a glass cup and fill it up with crushed ice before opening a coke and pouring in. As soon as the fizz dies down, I quickly down half the glass. A pair of strong arms suddenly appear on both sides of me, effectively blocking me in.

I choke on the coke as Bai Lei leans in next to my ear saying ”Can I have some as well? You make it look so good...” I nervously laugh as I try to slip away but he doesn't budge. ”If you want some, I need you to move so I can make you one,” I say with a shaky voice.

I feel his smile against my ear making me blush as he says ”I want some of yours...” I choke again but this time it's my own saliva! I quickly grab the glass and shove it at him as I practically climb on top of the counter to get away.

He gives me a dark knowing smile as he takes a sip from the glass. He no longer has trouble drinking soda... I clear my throat and make another glass of coke in silence as I try to think of ways to have Ted or one of the others take Bai Lei in.

After fixing another drink, I make some toast with a few eggs for breakfast. I hate mornings... My phone dings with an alert but when I look over, I see that it's just an advertisement for a new theme park.

I push the phone away in annoyance but when I look back to Bai Lei an evil light flashes across my eyes. Hah... ”Would you like to see more of this world?” I ask with a smirk. Bai Lei notices the smirk but he still nods his head and says ”Sure.” I giggle and say ”Get dressed!”

I smile in satisfaction as I take off down the hall to get dressed. I put on a simple outfit and a little makeup before walking out to find Bai Lei completely dressed and ready to go. He wore a pair of black ripped jeans with a black long sleeve shirt... His hair was back up in a bun making me frown.

I look back down at my outfit and turn around with a huff. I quickly walk back to the room and change. Why does he look so good in everything!? I slip on a pair of black leggings and an oversized black hoodie. I guess we'll be matching today...

I walk out to find Bai Lei leaning against the front door with a bored look on his face. I sigh in defeat and quickly grab my things. My silver hair stands out against the black but I kinda like the look... it's definitely growing on me.
