Chapter 70

• Waking up with Aria half snuggled on my chest under the covers was one of the best way a man could wake up, I glanced around the room and was thankful Aria had remembered to pull the floor length curtains closed last night after we returned from the kitchen by some minutes to three am in the morning if not I’d have almost be blinded by the harsh morning sun. I stretched my hand towards the bedside table to retrieve my phone, but the phone was a bit far from my outstretched hand which led to me shifting my body along with my arm and resulting in Aria jolting away and almost colliding her forehead with my jaw had I not quickly placed a hand on her head to steady her.
• “It’s just me.” I said to Aria who had to my disappointment shifted completely away from my body into the bed where she laid, rubbing her fingers against her sleep filled eyes while stifling a yawn. I checked the time on my retrieve phone, it was some minutes after nine am in the morning. Considering the time Aria returned back up here from the kitchen until now didn’t seem like enough sleep for Aria since I was sure she wasn’t used to staying without enough sleep, her relaxed beautiful face with no signs of puffy eyes or eye bags was proof enough since she started working with me at the beginning of this week, and I don’t want that changing on my behalf.
• “Go to sleep, yeah?” I whispered against her forehead after a light kiss there before rolling out the bed and taking a few precious minutes to stretch my whole body. I really need to work out, my muscles were cramping too much with so much knots for me to not work out thoroughly each time I get a chance. Maybe I’ll do some press ups and pushups this morning to relieve the cramps a little, even though those were nothing compared to the punching bags I always managed to destroy almost every week and sometimes between a few days. There was a time where I was too worked up and stressed, I destroyed a new punching bag in a day after pounding and kicking away at it for over six hours, hence my reasons for preferring to work off my stress before they pile up on each other.
