Chapter Fifteen

A soft touch woke me in the morning. I reached my hand up expecting to find Mathias nuzzling my neck but instead I grabbed a mound of fur. I turned over and sighed at the sight of my dumb but lovable dog who was gazing at me with such adoration I couldn’t help but smile.

That was until he decided to give my face a bath with his large tongue.

“Eww,” I groaned. “Cupcake cut it out.”

I pushed his massive body of mine and looked around. Mathias was nowhere to be seen. I sat up and wrapped my legs around my knees to contemplate last night.

It had been the most amazing and beautiful night of my life. Aside from a few muttered sentences we still hadn’t spoken to each other. I knew that Mathias was never going to be the kind of person to pour out his heart, and I had accepted that. My biggest worry was that I was going to suddenly burst out with every feeling and every emotion I had running through my brain.

When I heard the sound of someone coming down the stairs, I froze. I prayed it wasn’t Riah. I did not want to face him just yet.

Luckily, it wasn’t. Mathias appeared in the damaged door frame and smirked as he noticed Cupcake on the floor.

“Poor guy.” he said as he leaned down to pet his head. “Did your mistress kick you out of bed?”

“I’m not keen on getting the tongue from my dog first thing in the morning.”

“Get dressed.” he ordered

“Good morning to you.” I snorted. “I thought maybe we could chill out in bed today and ignore the world.”

“I fully support that idea,” he replied. “That’s why I want you to get dressed. I’ll be upstairs waiting. Don’t forget to bring a sweater or light jacket.”

I just stared at his retreating figure. No good morning greeting or kiss? No, ‘hey last night rocked’?

“Oh by the way.” he said as he turned around and came to stand by the bed. “I almost forget to tell you something.”

“What’s that?” I asked breathlessly

He placed a searing kiss on my lips before whispering. “Hey, last night rocked.”

I pushed away his laughing body and threw a pillow at him. I must not have my usual block on my thoughts up yet. That could be a very dangerous and humiliating mistake.

I quickly showered and dressed in jeans and a long sleeved shirt. I gave my appearance a pleasing smile as I took in my bright eyes and fabulous morning after hair. The auburn tresses were slightly mussed but still had waves that Polly had styled the night before. I grabbed my lightweight black fleece and happily teleported to the kitchen.

“So what’s on the agenda today?” I asked as I took the hot kettle for my usual morning cup of tea. “Are we going to tell Sidra and Kelvin about everything?”

“No.” Mathias said. His cell phone rang, and I sighed as he answered. Mathias had something up his sleeve but again was choosing not to share with me.
