Mauve woke up to Jael looking down at her with a smug look on his face. Her eyes widened and he kissed her forehead.
"You're finally awake," he said and pulled away.
She blinked, still a little disoriented. She rubbed her eyes as she tried to sit up. "How long have you been awake?" She asked with a yawn.
"A while," he whispered, still staring at her.
Mauve turned away from his gaze. She was certain she looked like a mess, her hair was all over the place and she was sure she had eye goop, she could feel how crusty her eyes were.
"Why didn't you wake me up?" She asked, fiddling with her hair as she tried to make it less of a mess.
"I think we've had this conversation before so you should know why," he smirked and rolled out of the bed.
Mauve's eyes widened as she was greeted with his pale profile. She caught herself staring and turned away before he turned his gaze back to her.
