Andy woke up before the sun had risen, the soft glow of dawn just beginning to creep through the windows. She yawned as she stretched her arms, trying to shake off the sleep.
She slid out of bed quietly, careful not to wake Alex who was sound asleep beside her. She had imagined that the next time he visited they would have wild sex much like the did the last time, but she had only slept cuddling each other.
She knew that was because apart from the fact that they were not alone in the house, she had also been exhausted after a long day and she knew they didn't have any reason to rush anymore.
The moment her feet hit the cool floor, Andy smiled, thinking of the surprise she was preparing. She had something special planned for today. Mari's birthday.
