Sonna and Khna (trans: sleep and food)

That night Alex and I stayed up talked and watched movies. It was so nice to just hang out with him since it had been so long since I’d even talked to him. He caught me up on the people that I remembered from living in Seattle and I caught him up on everyone he knew back home. We finally ended up falling asleep on his couch, as we had been sitting with my head against his chest, just as day light was starting to creep up onto the horizon.

When I woke up and few hours later, we were still in the same positions we had been before we fell asleep but had both stretched out in our sleep. I was now laying my back to the couch, sandwiched between Alex and the back pillows, with one of Alex’s arm on my waist and the other under my head with my arms around him.

I smiled and snuggled closer to him and was close to falling back asleep when the unbidden thought of how hard Alex’s abs were, popped into my head. I came awake instantly and fought the urge to jerk away from Alex because besides waking him up, it would have probably sent him tumbling to the ground.

I suddenly felt really warm and slowly started to try and get off the couch without waking Alex because for one he needed the sleep and because I didn’t want to face him right after that thought popped into my head. I was almost completely off the couch when my foot slipped on the carpet and I landed back onto the couch, right on top of Alex who came awake with a shout.

“What happened!?” he asked, looking slightly confused and totally adorable with his hair messed and a sleepy look on his face.

“Sorry” I said. “I was trying to get out of the couch without waking you but I slipped and landed on top of you”

“Ok” Alex said. He sat up on the couch and stretched, before turning to me “so what do you have to do today”

While he had been stretching, I had been thinking what a great body he had so it took me a minute to switch gears “Um. Today? I have the Boeing interview at 11 and then that’s it”

We sat there and talked for a few more minutes before we both got up and headed to the bathroom. Being that Alex’s apartment was two bedrooms, it thankfully had two full bathrooms and we were both able to start getting ready. By the time I was showered and dressed, I could smell coffee in the air. Smiling I walked out to the kitchen and found Alex already there cooking something on the stove. He was wearing a deep blue shirt with some dark grey slacks and I saw a suit coat hanging on the back of a chair.

As I was staring at him Alex glanced up and I felt my face flush a little at being caught. Trying to recover my composure, I struck a pose and asked “how do I look?”

Alex walks over to me with a look of utter concentration on his face and says “spin around”  

Laughing I do a slow pirouette and strike another pose at the end.

“Not bad” Alex said “Not bad at all”

I smack him on the arm and walk into the kitchen. “Do you need me to do anything” I ask

“No. I can handle this. But if you want you can grab yourself a cup of coffee. The cups are in the cabinet to your left” he says

I get up and get myself some coffee and before long both Alex and I are sitting there drinking coffee and eating omelets.

“This is actually really good” I said “I didn’t know that you could cook”

“Well you don’t know everything about me like you think you do” Alex says smiling

“In my defense, the last time I saw you cook anything was 7 years ago when Jack and I were visiting you. You put some pasta on the stove and forgot about it until the smoke alarms went off” I said teasingly

“A guy makes a mistake once and you can’t forgot it, can you?” he asked laughingly

“No, I can’t” I said smiling “Not when its perfect payback for all stories you have of me

Before we were both standing in the hall while Alex locked up. After he finished he handed me and key.

“What’s this?” I asked.

“The key to the apartment. You’ll be done before I am” he said

As we rode the elevator downstairs, I teasingly asked him “do you give keys to your apartment to every girl you bring here?”

“No” he said seriously “Only to those that I love and can’t live without”

I stared at him in shock…
