When I woke up, I felt my face pressed against something hard, firm, and hot. For a moment, I didn't understand what was going on, and I was about to sit up in panic, however, that was when I noticed the smell that went along with the firmness that I was laying on.
"Mmm." I hummed out a little moan of pleasure as I recognized that scent. It was orange and cream, like a dessert that was made just for me.
Oh yeah, that's right, Makai came to my window and tried to sneak in. He had actually scared the shit out of me. Dammit, seeing a face appear in my window out of nowhere was like a living horror movie. That fucking ass hat. Just remembering it made me pissed off at him.
However, I then started to remember what had happened after he came into my room. The way that he had kissed me. The fact that he had pretended to be drunk just so that he had an excuse to be sneaking into my room. And the way that he had missed me since I wasn't there with him at night over this past week.
Truth be told, I had missed him as well, but we already knew that. I hadn't told him how much, but I truly wanted to have his warmth while I slept. That was one of the things that I had been missing the most.
While I was thinking about all of this, I thought of something else. Wait a minute, my parents were home. What would they say when they saw us both coming out of the room? Or would I be lucky enough that they were gone before we got up? I truly hoped that was the case. I didn't want to explain to them the reason why my boyfriend was in my bed this morning.
I stretched and groaned a little as I woke up the rest of the way. Finally, I opened my eyes and saw that Makai was already awake and looking at me.
"Good morning, gorgeous." He grinned at me.
"Morning." I smiled back at him and kissed his lips quickly.
I saw the time on the clock then and nearly had a heart attack. It was after ten in the morning.
"Shit! How did I sleep so long?"
"Being in my arms was so relaxing that you just couldn't help it." Makai smirked and gave me a smart ass answer.
"Oh shut up. I don't want to hear it. I'm still pissed off at the way you scared me last night." I glared at him as I propped myself up on his chest. For a moment, I was marveling at the fact that I would always end up sleeping with my head on him. No matter how we fell asleep, I wound up laying on him. I guess I just liked using him as a pillow.
"To be fair, I didn't mean to scare you." He was laughing now. "But I will admit, seeing you fall on your ass like that was pretty funny." His laugh turned into a guffaw, and I had to silence him.
"Shh!" I wanted him to be quiet. "What if my parents come in here? Or what if they just end up hearing you?"
"Oh, you got a message from your mom about fifteen or twenty minutes ago. I recognized the alert tone."
"Shit."
I just know that this wasn't going to be good. I scrambled off of Makai, accidentally hitting him in the gut along the way as I moved.
"Omph!" He grunted from the slight pain, but I was too preoccupied to notice.
I picked up my phone and opened my messages. I had to know what my mom had to say, but in a way I was too scared to see it.
[MOM]
Hey sweetie, good morning.
That couldn't be all that she had to say. And I saw that Makai had indeed been right; it came in about fifteen minutes ago.
[ME]
Hey mom, good morning. I just woke up. What did you need?
[MOM]
Oh, nothing, I was just curious how your morning was going. Your dad and I left around six this morning.
[ME]
It's going fine. Like I said I just woke up.
[MOM]
Did you have a pleasant wake up?
[ME]
What are you talking about?
[MOM]
Did you get a good morning kiss?
[ME]
HUH?
Did...did...did she know that Makai was in here?
[MOM]
I'm asking if Kai gave you a kiss good morning yet.
????
[ME]
How did you know he was here?
There was no denying it now. She clearly already knew it was true.
[MOM]
I wanted to come in and tell you goodbye this morning, but I saw the two of you snuggled up together. You were using him as a pillow, you know that.
I buried my face in my hand. OH SHIT!
[ME]
I swear Mom, nothing happened.
I had to make sure that she knew that much at least.
[MOM]
I know it didn't. For one thing you were both dressed. For two, you woke us up when he came into the house. What did you do, jump for joy?
[ME]
I wasn't expecting him, and when I heard him outside I turned my light on. Seeing his face in the window scared me and I fell on my ass.
I thought brutal honesty was the best policy right now. My mom was a super sleuth and she would know it if I lied to her, even in a text message.
[MOM]
LMFAO, that is funny as hell. It's so funny that your dad and aunt are about to keel over. Everyone at the restaurant that we're at is looking at us all funny now.
[ME]
Gee, thanks. I am so glad that I could be of service to all of you.
I was internally groaning at the idea of being the butt of their jokes all weekend long.
[MOM]
I am guessing Kai missed you and wanted to start your weekend early?
Mom's question hit the nail right on the head. She was so smart and intuitive that I knew she would see the truth, even being a few hours away.
[ME]
Yeah, that was his excuse.
[MOM]
Well, enjoy your weekend, but please do exercise caution. I love you, be good.
[ME]
Love you too, Mom. Tell Aunt Linda I said hi and tell Dad that I love him too.
[MOM]
Bye sweetie.
[ME]
Bye.
"So how did it go?" Makai asked me as soon as I set my phone down.
"She knows you were here. She heard us last night and saw you this morning.
"Heard us? We didn't do anything." Makai was laughing.
"I am talking about when I fell, unceremoniously, on my ass." I glared at him.
"You're never going to let that go, are you?" He was laughing again.
"No, I'm not."
I got out of bed then and stalked to the bathroom so that I could start getting ready for the day. This was supposed to be our weekend to spend together, and I didn't want to spend that time angry, so I needed to calm down.
"Don't be mad at me, baby." Makai said as he sidled up behind me in the bathroom while I brushed my teeth. "I didn't mean to scare you."
"I know you didn't intend to do it, but you know that I hate horror movies. What part of that didn't seem like a horror movie to you?" I asked him after I spit my mouthful of toothpaste into the sink and started to rinse it down the drain.
"I was aiming for a romantic movie or romcom moment. I didn't want to go all horror flick on you."
"Hahh." I sighed at his words. "Just get ready for the day. I assume you need clothes now too?"
"Well, I have a bag in my car down the street, but I wouldn't say no to borrowing yours. I like when I get to wear them because I can smell your scent all the time." I knew just what he was talking about since I had noticed the same thing when I wore his clothes.
"Fine, clean up then get dressed."
I left the bathroom then so that he could do what he needed to do. I saw the wistful look in his eyes and something told me that he was going to make a joke about me staying. I wasn't going to do that right now. I wanted to spend time together where we weren't naked the whole time. We needed to have some alone time that wasn't just about sex.
I got dressed and went down to the kitchen. I had been planning on going to Makai's this weekend so my parents' hadn't gone shopping yet. That meant that we didn't have much in the way of food for me to pick from for breakfast.
"Whatcha doin'?" Makai slid up behind me again, resting his head on my shoulder as I glared into the fridge.
"I'm trying to figure out breakfast." I pushed the door shut without finding anything.
"I can make you pancakes. And then later we can go shopping and spend the whole weekend here."
"I thought I was going to your house?" I turned and faced him with confusion.
"I just thought that staying here might be fun too." He was giving me a heated look. "Do you not want to have our weekend fun at your house?"
"N..n..no that's f..f..fine."
"Good." He purred the word and reached past me to open the fridge. "Then let's make breakfast."
Makai then taught me how to make pancakes and we ate them together. The ones I made were OK, but the ones he made were amazing.. He was right, food cooked by your lover was so much better than regular food.
