Lies

Chapter Thirty-One

Monica's POV

I wake up in Eddie's arms. I look up at him. He looks so peaceful in his sleep. I roll over to look at the clock it's only six. I don't have to be up for another hour.

I lay there for a few minutes trying to go back to sleep. It doesn't work I'm awake for the day. I decide to get up and shower since the shower last night was less about getting clean and more about pleasure.

I wiggle my way out of Eddie's arms trying not to wake him up. I slide out of the bed only hearing a groan from him. He rolls over and goes right back to snoring.

I walk over to the closet to grab my outfit for school so I can just throw it on after my shower. I grab a pair of jean shorts one of Eddie's crewnecks and a belt. I just wanted to be comfortable today.

I grab some towels and head to the bathroom. I get in the shower and instantly get flashbacks from last night causing my pulse to speed up. I push the thoughts away and reach for my shampoo.

I take my time washing my hair since I have a little under an hour before I need to even be up. I finish washing my hair and just stand there enjoying the heat of the water. It was relaxing. I finally get to washing my body. I run my hands over my body instantly bringing thoughts of last night to my head. All I could think about was Eddie running his hands all over my body. And when he put his hand around my neck I about died on spot. He knew what he was doing.

I snap myself out of my thoughts and finishing washing my body. I get out of the shower and wrap myself in a towel. I dry off and throw on my clothes. I decide to take my time doing my hair today. I put a little more product in it and then blow dry it on low, so the curls don't get frizzy. After it's dry, I throw a little more product in. I grab some eye liner, mascara, lip gloss out of a drawer and throw it on. I take a step back and look at myself in the mirror for the first time this morning.

Wow I look good today.

I walk out to the kitchen and see that it's six fifty.

I'm hungry.

I look around the kitchen and see there's some pancake mix and eggs. I pull out everything I need, and I start cooking enough for Eddie and I to both eat. We don't normally eat on school mornings because we either wake up too late or just aren't hungry.

I finish making the pancakes and start on the eggs when I feel someone's arms wrap around my waist.

"Good morning my love." I hear his raspy voice whisper into my ear.

"Good morning baby. I hope you're hungry." I say motioning to the pancakes I made.

"How long have you been up?" He questions seeing I'm already dressed, and I made breakfast.

I turn to see it's a little after seven now. "About an hour." I tell him putting some eggs on my plate and the rest on his.

"Why?"

"I just couldn't sleep that's all."

"Wake me up next time?" he asks

"Maybe." I say sitting down next to him with my plate.

"You look gorgeous by the way." 

"Thank you." I say blushing. 

We chat a little while we eat just talking about the basics like how we slept and if we had any plans after school.

"I have a few deals to take care of after school."

"You mean we have a few deals after school. You know the deal."
