Chapter Fourteen

August 11th, 3032

Life was good. Nothing better than to wake up smiling after a night of the best sex Hailey had ever had. The sun had just popped up and the air outside was cool with remnants of last night’s rain; she was warm and so relaxed she wanted to laugh. Jeremy was snoring softly into his pillow next to her. She almost blew a raspberry into his neck to wake him, but decided against it. He’d given her a beautiful dream and Hailey knew it must have cost him some sleep of his own.

Deciding to make them an amazing breakfast, she slipped out of bed silently and stretched as far as her muscles would allow. She barely ached at all.

Now to find the kitchen. Hailey knew there was one; this hotel room was more of a studio, fully equipped with all the amenities, looking so quaint and cute she could just eat it up. She padded barefoot and naked past the bathroom, briefly sighing at the view from the windows.

Aha! The kitchen. A cupboard full of cutleries, heaters and a stove, one pan, one pot, and no food to cook. There was only a basket of fresh fruit which looked amazing just the way it was. Hailey wondered if there were any stores nearby. She wasn’t exactly a stellar cook but she felt just giddy enough to try her hand at something.

Her lover had sated her well last night. She wanted to reward him.

Butterflies fluttered in her stomach, making her want to laugh. She was still grinning from ear to ear when she ducked into the bathroom for a quick shower. A warm one. There was even a little steam when she came out to dry herself. Humming a little tune, she scrubbed her hair as dry as she could, then twisted it and knotted it on top of her head.

The bags were right next to the door. She reached for hers and dug out a clean set of underwear, then contemplated Jeremy’s bag. With a sappy smile, she dived into it and commandeered one of his shirts. It was huge on her. She had to roll the sleeves up so much they weighed the open neckline down until the shoulder seam was hanging almost at her elbow.

But it smelled faintly like laundry and Jeremy. From now on, she wasn’t sleeping in anything except his clothes. Or naked. She could totally do naked when he was around. It would cut down on a lot of prep time.

Thus decided, she returned to the bathroom to pick the towel she’d dropped off the floor. She hung it neatly on the towel rack and smoothed it out to dry faster. Then she got up on her toes and executed a tight pirouette, turning a circle and a half…

…to wind up facing the mirror.

Whatever color had been in her cheeks bled out in an instant as she beheld her reflection. Her hair, wet, looked gray. Her eyes were silver, not shining but sort of … glittering in the morning light.
