If someone told him that he would be waking up with a woman around him today or any day soon, he would say that person was crazy. But here he was, staring at the sleeping form in his arms, feeling liked he was the luckiest man alive.

He could not help himself when he bent down to her and started kissing her closed eyes, down to her cheeks and then to her lips. She kissed him back but only for a few seconds. 

Then she suddenly opened her eyes with a shocked expression. "What are you doing?" She shouted as she quickly pushed him away from her face.

She admitted that she was excited, waking up with him wrapped around her body and his lips all over her face. But realization dawn on her that she just woke up. 

She suddenly remembered that she must have looked like a witch with her tangled hairs, then her eyes that might have some dried tears. Worse of them all was her mouth, with its morning breath.

It was not true, what they told in fairy tales. Sleeping beauty did not remain beautiful while sleeping. And the beautiful heroine probably smelled too.

"What's wrong now?" Alex asked, wondering what he did to gain such a reaction from her.

"Nothing." She shifted in the bed and grabbed the cover to put on her. "I was just startled." She smiled at him as she stepped off of the bed and moved towards the bathroom.

Although something already happened to them, for the second time. Dani was still uncomfortable parading herself naked in front of him.

"Are you sure?" He asked, still doubting her explanation.

"Yeah, I'm sure." She smiled at him, reassuring him that all was ok before stepping inside the bathroom.

She immediately stepped in front of the mirror and was shocked at her reflection. Well, not that she had not seen herself in such a condition before, but for Alex to see her in her worse appearance was slightly embarrassing.

"What have you been doing last night?" She mumbled to herself. Then, her mind decided to answer her question. You were having the best sex of your life. 

She never experienced being kissed in the morning before she even brushed her teeth or gurgled her mouth, not even when she was still in a relationship with Nick. 

She placed her palm in front of her mouth and tried to smell her breath. Then, she was once again startled at a figure standing by the open door. 

"Hey, you don't have to be shy around me." Alex moved behind her, seeing what she had been doing inside the bathroom. 

"I'm not shy." She tried to deny it, but he pulled her towards him even more until his body cradled hers tightly.

He quickly enveloped her in his embrace, not giving her a chance to get away this time. "I don't care what you look like or smell like because I like you just the way you are."

It sounded so cliche in his mind, but he meant every word. He wondered why Dani suddenly ran away from him when things were heating up. He was concerned that he might have done something wrong that was why he followed her to the bathroom.

But seeing that it was nothing he did, he felt suddenly relieved, but he wanted to do something for her. Something that he hoped would make them relaxed a bit when they were together.

"Why don't we share a bath?" He let go of her for a minute as he moved to the inner side of the bathroom and opened the tap to fill the tub with water.

Then, he went back to her and stood in front of her. He let go of the towel that was wrapped around her waistline, leaving him completely naked. He waited for her to do the same.

"Fine." She finally answered him back, realizing what he was trying to do. He was right. She acknowledges it. They had to learn to be more comfortable with each other and their bodies.

With one deep breath, she let go of the white cloth covering her body, also standing in front of him, naked as the day she was born.

"Don't ever cover yourself around me." He ran his fingers through her cheeks, enjoying the feel of her soft skin with his. "You are beautiful." He moved a lot closer to her and then tilted her chin until she gazed into her eyes. "Now, let me wash that stink out of your body." He scrunched his nose on her, which earned him a smack on his arms.

"That's quite funny." She uttered and slanted her lips as a sign of irritation before walking away from him.

"I was joking. You are always so serious." He pulled her back to him and kissed her. 

This time, there was no sign of any joke on his action. He held Dani to him until she was freely clinging to him. Then, he finally let go of her. "I like you more when you are silent or smiling."

"Come on. I want to kiss you some more." He pulled her to the tub and helped her inside it before lowering himself behind her.

"What do you think will happen to us?" She finally asked what was bothering her since she thought of them as a couple.

"We will be like a normal couple, trying to make our relationship work." He answered her what he thought of their current situation.

"But what if it doesn't work." She turned her head around to look at him. "What if it only ruins all our plans?"

"I don't know how to answer that as of now. But I'm sure we will figure it out as we continue in our journey as a couple." He lathered her arms with soap then her back. "Are you up for it?"

"Yes, I think so." Feeling her inhibition lessening as he continued to work on her body. 

She had been in a relationship before, with the most serious one, with Nick, but nothing compared to what Alex was trying to make her feel. She never experienced anything like this before.

The way he was considering all her opinion on the matter and her needs were new to her. If this was what a relationship should look like, she just realized that she missed out on it in her past affairs.

"Then, I am glad to hear that." He stopped her from putting her hair up into a bun. "Let it flow on your back. I like it that way." But he placed her hair on the other side of her shoulders.

He started moving his hands around her and pulled her closer to his body, cradling his chin on her other shoulders. "I'm willing to make whatever we have here work. I could not put a name on what our relationship is or where it is going, but eventually, we will figure it out." He whispered in her ears, which sent another shiver through her spine, goosebumps on her skin, and quickening her heartbeat. 

"I like that." She knew that was the only logical answer to his statement since she was still inexperienced when it came to love.
