Natural Beauty

Waking up, I sat up and stretched my arms. Putting a leg over the edge of the bed, I was about to get off, when I felt a pair of arms slither around my waist and hold me gently.

[What from the absolute hell?!] I screamed in my head as I tried to get the hands off me but whoever or WHATEVER it was, would not budge.

The arms pulled me back, making me lie back down. I swiftly turned my head, coming face to face with a sleepy-looking David.

"Good M-morning." He mumbled yawning. pulling me closer, he snuggled his face into my neck.

[God.. wait a second, wasn't I sleeping in the guest room?] I thought, looking around to see that I was back in the bedroom.

*sigh* "Good morning, David." I said removing his hands from my waist.

Sitting up, I put my legs over the side of the bed and stood up. I turned my head and looked down at David as he tugged at my sleeve.

"What's wrong?" I asked looking at him as he pouted.

"Lay back down and sleep." he said with a cute pot as he patted the space next to him.

Glancing at the digital clock on the side table, I saw that the time was already 7:36 am.

"David, I have work. You can sleep all you want as if anybody's gonna say anything to you. I, on the other hand, have to get ready." I said. Shaking off his hand, I walked into the bathroom and washed my face with cold water to wake me up.

After washing up, I walked into the wardrobe and pulled out the dress I was going to wear. Walking out, I saw a sulky David getting out of the bathroom, his toothbrush still in his mouth.

[Hmm, I wanna try something..] I thought looking up at him as he looked through his phone.

"Hey, David. How do I look?" I asked looking at him intently for his opinion.

David looked at me for a second, then the brush fell from his mouth, and he looked stunned as if he'd just seen an angel.

"You look gorgeous." He said, kneeling to pick up his brush. His voice had the same cheery tone as yesterday, but I still caught his bright red ears.

"Heheh. I'll head down for breakfast then!" I said, giggling.

Walking downstairs, I strode into the kitchen and sat down at the table.

Mrs. Gray came by the next minute with my usual toast, eggs, and bacon.

[I'll make some pie later! Well, it's not like anybody else will eat it..] I thought, glancing back at the door with a small pout as David entered.

Walking over, he sat in the chair next to me, all while looking at my face intently.

[Why is he staring at me like that? Is he trying to see if there is any makeup on my face or something? Sorry love, but I'm a natural beauty.] I thought, biting a piece of toast.

Looking over at him, I saw that he was still staring at my face. "Is there something on my face?" I mumbled, touching my cheek.

"No, I'm just admiring your beauty. Y'know, I think all those makeup products were a complete waste, my wife is already a natural beauty." he said, giving me a small smirk.

I could feel my cheeks turn red as the heat swept up to my face at which he was still staring.

[Gosh, did he get sly after that accident?] I thought going back to eating my breakfast, not even glancing his way till I was finished.
