There's nothing sweeter than a morning sleep in cold days, particularly when you're under one soft, warm blanket that smells refreshing yet calming like lavender.
Right at dawn times.
Stirring yourself groggily, mumbling nonsense, stretching out your limbs lazily, turning on the other side beautifully only to lie down again comfortably with a satisfied smile.
Nothing can ever beat that for me.
But, some bloody phone had to vibrate somewhere near my head.
"Switch it off! switch it off! Switch it..." I mumbled groggily before feeling my surroundings for it with my eyes closed. I was barely awake.
Hell, I didn't even understand what I was doing until I heard Damon chuckle steps away from the bed.
"Okay, okay!" I heard Damon's deep voice before his steps walked to my side hastily.
"...It's your phone... and it's Antonia calling" Said Damon handing me my phone after he put it on silent mode before I felt the bed dip and his scent engulfing me.
"Did something happen?" I asked in a muffled tone as I was already under the blanket catching on to my sleep.
"Listen to her first to find out" He said caressing my face gently but, his gesture obliviously made me sober instantly. I tend to drool in my sleep!.
"But, I'm so very really still sleepy!" I complained spoilt when I made sure, my face was safe to touch.
"Morning lazy cat" He greeted kissing my exposed shoulder lightly with an amused chuckle. Damn him!.
"Morning Sweets. Are your dreams that uninteresting and boring to make you be awake by now?" I teased him lazily with one open eye to check him out before I shut it again the next second.
I wasn't ready to be up, yet.
"If I had an option? I'd always choose to sleep in with you in my arms" He said the words with sincerity dripping from them.
"Awww, how can you be this sweet, so early in the morning...?" I asked feigning being upset with a pout to boost.
"She's calling again..." Pointed out Damon, getting his body to stand up and left the bedroom to get in the cloakroom. Leaving me with my phone lit up displaying 'Little jewel ' on its screen.
I didn't even notice that he was only in his briefs before!.
"He..." I started to breathe the word lazily before, I heard an 'I saw a ghost eating my lunch' kind of scream on the other side.
"... Anderson Dominicus Sybil! Do you take me for a fool?" Yelled Antonia on the other side, raging.
"Why?" I asked dryly while my mind was racing on what I did to deserve that so early in the morning.
"Why didn't I know that you moved? Why are you always surprising me? Do you wish for me to die from a heart attack? I wasn't prepared at all!..." She went on with her complains and accusations making me spot a warm smile on my face.
I guess, we'll never grow any older no matter how many years get past us.
"Morning little sis, Tity ... And yes, I was asleep when you called" I cut her off with my sarcastic remark.
"Hmph! Tell me your new address!" She harrumphed before give out the command sternly.
"Why should I?" I asked with a chuckle.
Does she think the world revolves around her?.
"So, I could dump my babies on you before going to the company!" Explained Antonia briefly, obviously thinking that it was unnecessary interrogation.
"They have a nanny if I remember correctly" I pointed out helpfully.
"I don't trust them for shit!" She replied with a click of her tongue.
"Then why hire them?" I asked making myself comfortable again in a sleeping position.
"Because, it's tiring taking care of them on my own!" She said getting upset again and impatient.
"And it's not for me? Their 'uncle'?" I asked again, hoping to dim her hopes.
"Help me just for today, please" She pleaded once she saw we were going nowhere.
"I'm..." I was hoping to say that I had a busy day ahead but, like the twin we are she interrupted me before I could straighten my excuse.
"Pretty please...?" She pleaded again. This time, I even imagined her lashes batting at me with her lips pouted and eyes beautifully wide.
She really knows how to get me.
"Does Troy know about this?" I relented with a sigh.
"All thought through and stamped!" Confirmed Antonia in her chirpy voice.
"Then, alright you can drop them off on your way later" I told her only to hear her victory song on the other side.
"How about now?" She suggested expectantly.
"Now?!" That made me sit on the bed again.
"Yap" Replied simply, waiting...
"Something wrong with the company?" I asked with concern because, I know her.
She's never someone to spring in on someone out of nowhere. She'd have given me at least a day's notice.
"I wish I knew, I'm clueless as always but, since I'm the major shareholder my presence is needed, I guess" She explained with a shrug.
"We have equal shares, Tity. Why wasn't I called?" I had to ask.
"You weren't fucking picking up all day yesterday!" She went back directly into her angry self.
"Oh" I said absentmindedly.
"The address" She reminded demandingly.
"Let me text you with it, right now" I told her before hunging up and fired a text to her.
"Antonia is coming" I said aloud so Damon on the other room could hear.
"Here?" He asked, drawing the words while tying on his tie before draping on his suit coat getting out of the cloakroom. All alpha male type.
"Going somewhere, Mr president?" I asked putting my phone away before crawling to the edge of the bed.
"Urgent work in the office" He answered before bending down to kiss my forehead.
"I thought you only got a lunch date today?" I pointed out confusedly.
"As I said, it's urgent and I'm gonna be late if you keep your reluctance up" He said caressing my cheeks adoringly.
"Is it because Antonia is coming?" I asked softly.
"...where did that come from?" Asked Damon with surprise and curiosity.
"Just asking" I said casually with a shrug.
"No, I may not be thrilled like you apparently are but, I'll never hate her presence in out lives plus, I was already in my attire when you told me the news" Explained Damon seriously.
"Mmmh, when will you be back?" I asked while nuzzling on his hand.
"... I really don't know. Depends on how fast I'll deal with everything, miss me already?" He teased with a chuckle.
"I just signed up for babysitting duty only to find that I'd be doing all the work alone!" I complained bitterly making him laugh aloud.
"Don't protrude your lips like that!" He scolded, touching the said lips bruisingly.
"Why?" I asked like an aggrieved child.
"They keep reminding my dick of how well they can suck on it" He explained with a straight face making me feel embarrassed in his stead.
"Jesus! Damon, you're hopeless!" I reprimanded with a shake of my head, pushing him away.
"I'll be going now" He said softly with a smile on his face. I could see that my fluttered self brought happiness to his soul. Sadistic bastard.
"Umhm, bye baby. Make a lot of money for us" I bid him goodbye at last.
"I'll be checking on the camera on my spare time, Don't tease me while I'm away" He said sternly making me chuckle mischievously.
I never knew that I had that option before.
"Oh really, Mr handsome?" I taunted sensually.
"Such a tease" He said lovingly.
"I spy something straining your pants" I said eyeing his growing bulge between his legs making him blush.
"Fuck you, Sybil!" He said running outside before waving goodbye at the door.
I stayed cocooned under the blanket for some time before I decided to prepare myself for my first visitor.
Freshening up my body, before I got stuck in the cloakroom.
My moods were saying that I should cross-dress but, then I had Antonia coming later so me cross-dressing wasn't an option.
It's quite funny me being afraid to show all of myself to the girl whom I played dress up with on slow days, the girl who experimented her make up artistry on me, the girl who was my only family.
Should I just spring up and tell her or I should just show me to her? And what if it leads to something bad?.
I don't want to see any negative emotion on her face because of me.
I couldn't imagine my life without her cheery self.
