Mornings with Joel
You know you should get out of bed but the warm sheets are too much for you to pull away from. You roll over unable to open your eyes but wanting to find Joel next to you. You groan as you hit the mattress realising he isn’t next to you. You pull your eyes open and see that he isn’t there.
“Joel?” You call out mumbling slightly.
“I’m just here.” He smiles pulling opening the door of your en suite. “I was just showering but I was planning on coming straight back to bed.” You close your eyes smiling as you feel him settling in next to you. You feel his hand gently push your hair behind your ear as he caresses your cheek.
“What?” you smile.
“You’re just so beautiful.”
You blush hearing his words. Quickly, you think about yesterday morning when you tried waking him up and he groaned in frustration. Joel has never been a morning person so the fact that he is awake before you was shocking. “You’re literally the worst morning person ever? How are you awake right now?” you laugh as you look at him.
“I don’t want to tell you.” You can see him blushing.
“Well now you have to!”
He laughs embarrassed.
“Ok so I woke up to go bathroom and then I ended up staying up for like 3 hours because I was watching you sleep. Not in a creepy way but like in a sweet way.” His blushing got even worse. “I was just thinking about how lucky I am to have you. You’re so beautiful and sweet.” Your heart swells as he talks. “You’re always taking care of me and looking out for me but I do the same for you. I love our relationship and everything about it. I’ve never felt like this and I just want to hold you and be with you all the time.”
You reposition yourself so that you’re sitting up next to him. “I would kiss you if I had brushed my teeth.” You laugh and hug him.
“Why don’t you have a shower, brush your teeth,” he chuckles, “and while you do that I’ll make us breakfast in bed?”
“Perfect.” Joel hums his way into the kitchen, while you get yourself ready. By the time you have finished, you can smell bacon and pancakes coming from the kitchen. “I’m starving!” You call out.
“Get in bed! I’ll be there in 2 minutes.” You can hear the happiness in his voice.
You bounce your way to the room and settle back into bed. “I’m ready!” you scream out giggling. He walks into the room holding a tray of food and you can both hear your stomach growling. “I’m going to cancel my appointment today and if you have nothing on we can spend the whole day together?”
“I have rehearsal but I can get the boys to cover for me.”
“If you have to go that’s ok.” You smile grabbing a piece of bacon from the tray.
“I can go tomorrow.” He kisses your cheek. He grabs a blueberry pancake eating while he holds your hand. “Do you realise how lucky I am to wake up to you every morning?” his scruffy beard feels rough along your neck as he pecks you.
“Not as lucky as I am. Look at all of this! You’ve been so sweet and now I get breakfast and a whole day with you.”
“I love you.”
“I love you too baby.” You push forward kissing him passionately.
