Countdown

The next morning, Abi woke up with Alex in her embrace. 

She slowly unclasped her tight grip on him as she sat up, blinking at him. 

"You're awake," Alex said. It seemed like he had been awake for a while now. 

"G-good morning, Alex," she greeted as she rubbed her eyes. This was it, the start of the countdown...

The man rose and he examined her face closely as if he was looking for something.

"Are you alright?" he asked and Abi nodded. 

"Mm. I didn't know you were going to sleep here for the night." 

Alex creased his brows. She didn't remember? 

"Ahh ~" Abi yawned and stretched her arms up high. She smiled at him brightly and climbed out of the bed. "Get up, Alex. We have to get ready now," she grinned excitedly and Alex just lazily got up into a sitting position.
