Standing, I wobble slightly.
Dear Gaia, I’m sore!
Now where are my clothes? They have got to be around here somewhere.
Wait a minute… The malaka burned them yesterday.
Damn it.
Looks like it’s either the most humbling buck ass naked walk of shame in existence or it's time to borrow some clothes from Apollo.
God, what if Artemis or Ov happens to pop into the hallway.
I think I might die of embarrassment.
With that in mind, I swing open his wardrobe. Rifling through his clothes until I find a toga of Apollo’s. Its amber threads sparkle like pure sunlight.
As I slip it over my shoulders, I suddenly become even more grateful for our size difference. The toga fell to my mid-calf. Shorter than I normally wear but long enough to make me feel uncomfortable.
Exiting the room, I climb down the stairs.
Every muscle seems to be aching right now.
But Gaia, it feels so good.
Standing at the hearth, I find Apollo boiling some water.
“Morning.” He smiles cheerfully. The energy in his voice was so starkly different from when we first met. Right now, he is acting as eager as a puppy.
What’s up with morning people? How are they so happy in the morning?
“Morning,” I managed to murmur back at him. Shuffling into the room, I wrap my arms around his waist, peaking out onto the stove. “Is the water ready for some tea?”
I NEED caffeine this morning.
Especially with the sun hardly having risen. “Almost ready,” he replies with a grin. “It’s good to see you up so early. You practically rose with the sun.”
I moan dramatically, “I know. It’s awful.”
Apollo shoots me a wounded look. “Watch it. Mornings are the best time of the day. I promise that you’ll get used to them.”
Yippee, I groan to myself.
I can’t wait for an eternity worth of morning to come.
“Why don’t you go rest on the sofa while I prepare our cups?” Suggested Apollo. “Then you can absorb your caffeine properly.”
Nodding, I mutter a sleepy thank you before stepping into the sitting room. Crawling under a thick blanket, I sit on the plush seat for two.
After several minutes, Apollo entered with a cup in each of his hands, slowly he walked to me before gently handing one over.
The hot liquid steams up. Water collects on my face as I’m immersed in the fragrant smell of the tea.
Apollo sits next to me. Casually sipping our tea together, we rested in companionable silence.
The memory of last night was never too far from my mind.
I want him so bad. Perhaps even more now than I ever knew I did before.
