230 Seeing the World Through Your Beautiful Eyes

Lina and William woke up early the next morning as usual. Even with the commotion of catering to the teenage girls, Lina couldn't sleep in.

Once she felt the cold gust of wind sweep under the covers and the lift from his weight leaving the mattress, she knew that Will was getting up for work.

"Can't you sleep another half an hour?" she asked him with a sleepy smile and her fingertips reached across the white Egyptian cotton sheets to steal a touch of his warm body.

"I can't," he smiled and leaned over to give her a quick smooch, "I have some business to finish with Wendy. We're preparing for a new development and there are checks we have to do on the land before finalizing."

"But it's the weekend," she sulked with her pouty lips, and those warm brown, come-hither eyes.

"I know, I'm sorry..." he apologized.
