The sunlight streaming on my face woke me up. I was peaceful. The sunlight kept my body warm, along with Eric holding me. I turned into his chest, feigning sleep. I knew he was awake, because his breathing was uneven. I surprised him by kissing him quickly, then nestling my head back into his chest. I felt the rumble of his laugh, and looked up, grinning.<br/>"Morning, Eric," I told him. I kissed him again, this time longer and sweeter. Contented, I pulled back and got up.<br/>"Be right back." I said, grabbing some cloths for today. I went to the bathroom and smiled at my tousled reflection. At least Eric seemed happier. I think he's now convinced I am not mad at him. It has been two days after all.<br/>Then something hit me.<br/>My birthday was in 4 days.
