Althea stretched her arms across the bed and opened her eyes, with the first thing reaching her blurry sight was Nicholas’s face, with his eyes still closed and seemingly still asleep.
She blinked her eyes one too many times and just as her vision cleared, she got closer to Nicholas and gently pecked his cheek.
A smile appeared on Nicholas’s face, signifying that he wasn’t sleeping and Althea also chimed, placing her chin on his chest and looed right at his face, as he gently opened his eyes and revealed that he had been all that time.
“You always did it, didn’t you?” she c****d and Nicholas shrugged, pretending to be oblivious of what Althea was referring to.
“Every morning you pretended to be asleep only so you could catch me when I would be looking at you or admiring you, right?”
