"Rise and shine, princess!"

I groaned into my pillow. Why is Sergio in my apartment? It's Saturday, for crying out loud.

"Why are you waking me up this early?", I grumbled.

"Early? If you open your eyes you will see that it's almost noon.", Sergio disregarded my complaints while opening up the drapes and letting the daylight in.

"Get up. I will make coffee…", Sergio said and left the bedroom.

I was exasperated. Fine, it might be noon-ish, but it's Saturday. Did he come here to brag about his conquests or to convince me to join him tonight?

I buried my face in the covers and took a deep breath with the hope to take in the scent of Jasmine with a hint of Japanese wisteria which is long gone.

Ever since that stormy night when Sanya left a bitemark on my neck, I am hoping that I will get to meet her in my dreams. So far, no luck.
