Angelica stirred and opened her eyes. She looked around and, when she realized where she was, lay very still. She looked up at Alex, who had fallen asleep holding her in his arms. She smiled. She had never felt so safe and protected. Even though she had really only known Alex a few days, she was beginning to develop strong feelings for him. It made her feel giddy, just lying there in his arms.
Alex stirred and opened his eyes. He smiled at Angelica, when he saw she was awake and watching him.
“I guess I must have dozed off,” he said.
“I think we were both in need of a nap,” replied Angelica.
Alex tightened his arms around her briefly, but when he looked at his watch, he sighed. “I’m going to have to go. I need to get home to shower and change for the party tonight.”
