Chapter 413
I loved that he was still beside me when I woke. I stretched out my arms a yawn escaping my mouth. He was still snoring his head off so instead of getting up I crawled my way back under his arm and closed my eyes.
I wouldn’t go back to sleep but it was nice just to lay here together.
Today was a new day and I had somethings I had to straighten out. First one being my gran and finding her somewhere else to stay. I don’t agree with what they did. That house was no longer hers but mine and it was occupied by our friends.
A wave of guilt brushed over me. She was still my gran. Every time I set my mind to do something this little voice made its way into the back of my head shaming me with guilt and making me feel bad.
I simply couldn’t treat her like she didn’t mean anything to me. As much as I didn’t want to care I did and part of me always would. It was such a push pull situation. Our relationship should never have turned out this way but that wasn’t my fault.
I tried my best to make her stay. I pleaded with her on multiple occasions but she up and left anyway. Yes, she was trying now to make things better between us but for what?
It would never be the same it couldn’t. Too much had happened, too many secrets had become known. I’ve come to the realisation that I do not need her in my life.
His fingers gently moved against the bare skin of my hip. Pulling me closer he placed a kiss on my lips.
“Good morning beautiful”. He placed another kiss on my lips before rolling over taking me with him.
This wasn’t going where he thought it was.
I smiled down at him as he looked up at me with a silly grin on his face.
“I like this”. He moved his eyebrows up and down. “I could get used to waking up like this every day p>
“You’d have to come home at night for that to happen”. I tapped his chest before rolling off and onto my side of the bed. “I think we should go out for breakfast”. I slipped my feet into my slippers and my arms into my robe.
“I think you should get your ass back in this bed now p>
A laugh fell from my lips as I rolled my eyes. “I think you should get up and make me coffee”. I closed the door to our bathroom but couldn’t stop myself from smiling.
It had been a while since we had this playfulness with each other. He was always so serious and yes sometimes he had to be, but it was nice having the guy I fell in love with shine through.
Not that I didn’t love him regardless of what he was like, but you know what I mean. I brushed my teeth, washed my face and headed back to our bedroom. To my surprise he was up and sitting on the edge of the bed.
“Should I make the coffee then?”. I grinned.
His head was buried in his phone as he gave me a nod.
“What’s going on?”. I asked.
“Nothing babe just checking in with patrol. I’m going to drop by and see Rocco later. Do you want to come p>
“You’re not going to be mean to him, are you?”. I frowned.
“What, no”. He made a face before getting to his feet. “I’m going to move him to morning patrol as of next week. I’m also giving him the rest of the week off p>
Oh.
“Is there someone to take his place the rest of the week?”. I asked.
“I’ve got it covered”. He nodded.
“Is there any chance I will get to do a patrol again?”. I liked the night patrol; I liked learning the ropes from the people actually doing it.
“You want to?”. He frowned.
I shrugged. “I don’t mind it p>
“We’ll see”. He dropped a kiss on my forehead before disappearing into the bathroom.
I on the other hand made my way downstairs to make some coffee. When I clocked the time, my eyes went wide. It was almost noon. We hadn’t had a lie in like this in a while.
I was always an early bird. I always felt it was a waste of a day if I slept any longer than 10. But sometimes we all needed to catch up on our sleep and it’s not as if I’ve got anywhere, I need to be. I fixed two cups before sitting down on the couch and switching the tv on.
Hearing his footsteps on the stairs I nodded towards his cup. “Where should we go for something to eat?”. I asked.
“You choose but I need to stop by my parents’ on the way p>
“We slept so late”. I chewed the inside of my cheek.
“I was meant to meet my dad this morning”. He scratched the back of his head. “Hence why I need to drop
by p>
“I need to meet with my gran at some point’. It was then I remember the text message. I grabbed my phone and opened her message. She hoped I was feeling better, and I was to call her so we could go for coffee.
But I wasn’t going to do that instead I was going to invite her over here. Me being in the comfort of my own home meant I had full control of my actions, and I was comfortable.
“Well aye babe it’ll need to happen at some point p>
