Lazy Love

“Are you starting to feel sleepy?” he asked softly.

“Yes…” I admitted honestly.

My eyelids had started to feel heavy, and it felt like I could drift off into sleep at any moment. I guessed I never knew how much I liked before held and embraced tenderly like this before going to bed.

“Good night, Elena. I hope you sleep well without any dreams…” he whispered gently into my ear.

“Good night…” I murmured.

The following morning, I woke up in a very shocked and disorientated state. My eyelids felt heavy from sleep but what felt unusually heavy was the sensation of something pressing on top of my chest. My body felt heavy and felt extremely lazy and without a doubt, I wasn’t looking forward to the new day. That was the reason why it took that much more extra effort for me to slowly open my eyes. The empty familiar ceiling of my bedroom greeted me. Everything seemed normal until I lifted my head a little off the pillow and glanced down at the source of discomfort on my chest.
