Chapter 43
Kurt
I wake up before my alarm goes off and find Juliana wrapped around me. Her hair is spread out over my chest and her arm is wrapped around my stomach while her legs are intertwined with mine. The connection makes my heart beat faster. She looks so beautiful right now. The light is streaming in from the side of the curtain and it’s casting a line over her back. We are both fully clothed and the heat between us is making me sweat.
I reach over to try to grab my phone off my nightstand to turn off my alarm before it goes off. While reaching for it, Juliana stirs. She yawns and opens her eyes slowly.
“Good morning,” I say and she looks up at me from her perch on my chest. She yawns again and then sits up, stretching a little as she untangles herself from me.
“Good morning,” Juliana says through a yawn. “How did you sleep?” She asks and I can tell she is already thinking about our conversation last night. I wonder if she found any clarity while sleeping, I know that I did not.
“I slept alright, how about you?” I sit up beside her, resting my hand on her thigh.
“Me too.” Juliana nods. “So, did you find an answer?” She asks, looking nervous.
“No, I gotta admit, I was pretty tired. I don’t think I thought about anything,” I tell her and she nods, smiling a little.
“Okay, good because me too. I passed out and there was nothing going on in here,” Juliana says, poking the side of her head with a laugh. “Glad we are on the same page, then.”
“Exactly,” I say then I lean over and kiss her gently, still thrilled I get to do that now without worrying what she might think. “Should I not do that until we figure this out?” I ask when I pull back, hoping she will disagree. Juliana’s eyes are still closed from the kiss but she opens them slowly.
“Oh no, I think kissing is okay.” Juliana smiles and bites her lip. She is extra playful this morning. Her hand rests on my chest, her fingers rubbing gently.
“Good.” I lean in and kiss her again, moving over her to deepen the kiss. She slides back down until we are lying together but then my alarm goes off and I curse myself for forgetting about it when she woke up. “Shit, I guess we have to get up now.”
“Mmm,” Juliana moans against my lips. “Five more minutes. Just hit snooze or something.”
I chuckle but let her pull me back down to kiss some more while my alarm continues to go off. After a few seconds, the alarm gets louder and Juliana groans, letting go of me.
“Never mind, shut that off, please.”
I reluctantly get off of her, turning off the alarm and lying on my back for a few seconds. I close my eyes and feel Juliana shifting beside me. I feel her weight climbing on top of me as she straddles me. I open my eyes to see such a pleasant sight of her perched on top of me. I put my hands on her hips and smile up at her.
“I’m not stopping here,” Juliana says with a big smile, leaning down to kiss me. “I just wanted to tease you as I got out of bed.” With that, she continues over me and climbs out of bed. Now, it is my turn to groan. Juliana laughs at my agony as she skips off to the bathroom.
I join her in the bathroom a few minutes later and we stand side by side brushing our teeth together. I finish first and leave her to get ready alone. When she finally comes out, she goes immediately to the closet and gets changed. She leaves the door open so I take it as an invitation to take a couple of peeks. She changes with her back toward me so the only view I can admire is her backside and her panties cover the best part, but it’s still an amazing view.
When she comes out of the closet, she winks at me, clearly knowing what she has done to me. I shake my head at her and she giggles.
“Hey, do you need a ride to work? I mean, do you want me to drive you?” I ask as we head to the kitchen for breakfast.
“Okay, that would be great. Thanks,” Juliana says, smiling at me.
Juliana whips up a quick breakfast of eggs and cuts some fruit for us both. We eat at the kitchen table and Juliana chatters away, telling me all about her upcoming job interview she got called back for. I want to tell her to drop it because I can easily take care of her but I understand her need to contribute and she seems excited about the job, so I keep my mouth shut and just ask questions here and there.
When we are both finished, we walk hand in hand down to my car and I rest my hand on her thigh while I drive her to work. Juliana seems happier today, more relaxed than she has been in a while. I can only hope both of our good moods continue for a while.
