Chapter Twenty-One

A gradual beam of light through the windows crosses path with her eyes, the fluttering sensation lifts her eyelids open to see what's in front of her.

Strong arms cocooned her and she sighed at the warmth.

Wait....sunlight.

Shoot

She jumped out of bed forgetting she didn't have much on from what transpired last night.

Zayyad stirred in his sleep and his eyes opened up slowly.

He smiled at the sight of his wife rushing around to look for the shirt she was wearing yesterday.

She found it and slipped it on, she started making her way to the bathroom in a tip toe not realizing her husband has been awake.

This made Zayyad chuckle and she froze mid step, turning to face him slowly.

She looked uncomfortable and a little embarrassed, Zayyad slipped from under the covers, he was wearing only his boxers.

The sight made her turn and rush into the bathroom, memories from last night rushing back.
