His Secret
Stay
She couldn’t move or the moment would be completely ruined. The stillness of the morning, his heavy breathing and the dull thump of his heart would be all suddenly interrupted if she made any movement. She closed her eyes soaking in his warmth, her heart swelling with happiness as he lay in her arms. She smiled at the scratchy sensation of his beard tickling her collar bone, his nose buried into her neck. Glancing at the clock above the TV she sighed as it pronounced that it was almost nine in the morning.
“Tyler…” She whispered her voice tired and laced with sleep. “Baby?” She lightly pressed her lips to his forehead feeling him shift and his breath fan out over her bare chest.
“Shhh, Nic go back to bed.” Tyler grumbled, not putting in much effort to move his lips.
“It’s almost nine, you have practice soon.” She sighed running her finger tips through his buzz cut. “I should go.”
“No, stay a little longer.” He demanded his arm becoming a little tighter around her midsection. She took those last few seconds before the scramble began to admire his peaceful face, his strong jaw, mouth slightly ajar, his muscular arm laying against her abdomen. She gently ran her palm from his shoulder down to his elbow to his hand lacing their fingers together. His skin was warm and soft. Smiling she looked down as Tyler placed several kisses on her hand. “Breakfast?” He sleepily asked.
“Not enough time,” She sighed sadly. “Come on, I have to shower.” She pleaded trying in vain to lift his arm off of her.
“Can I come?” He grinned boyishly nuzzling her ear.
“Not enough time for that either.” She giggled leaning down to confidently kiss his lips. Sliding out of bed she took the sheet with her leaving him alone and naked, grumbling about the cold.
When she stepped out of the shower he was already gone. Searching his room, she found her clothing from the previous night, slipping her teal dress over her head and stepping back into her black heels. Scanning the room she located her cell phone perched on Tyler’s nightstand. When she picked it up there was a new text message.
Called a cab for 9:30. See ya tonight? -Ty
She texted back a thank you and confirmed their evening plans before quickly exiting Tyler’s apartment to the waiting cab. As usual her hair was covering here face, and her dark sunglasses morosely hid her brown eyes. She took her walk of shame as she had many mornings before. It was difficult for her and Tyler to be together at times, so she cherished the nights she spent in Tyler’s arms, even though those nights would always be a secret.
