Falling For The Man I Married

Ohh... dear God, I hate mornings! I hate waking up early! I hate taking a bath early! But this time I have no other choice.

When I heard the splashing water from the bathroom, I remember I'm not being in my bedroom. I opened my left eye and closed it again.

"Argh! Oh, my God! Why is there such a thing called morning? Why do we have to wake up early in the morning?" I complained to myself as I got up lazily up on the bed, but still in half-closed eyes.

Getting up, I was scratching my head. I know I have a bird's nest in my head, but I don't care. I was about to take my first step when I bumped into something hard and wet.

"Argh!" I pushed it and opened my eyes feeling irritated. But as soon as I opened them, the handsome face of my smiling boss was the first thing that appeared in my sight. I crunched my eyebrows when he didn't move.

"Good morning, love. How's your sleep?" his smile turned into a grin after seeing my creaky face.

I was about to speak when my nose hit his fresh apple scent smell. 

And suddenly, water dripped from his wet hair and landed on his shoulder. My eyes followed the drops of water from his shoulder down to his bare chest and my mouth went dry as it continued to flow down on his toned stomach and to the white towel that loosely hanging on his waist.

I gasped and my eyes widened as I realized what he was just wearing. 

"Oh my God, Gabriel Wilsons!" I pushed him on his chest.

"Why? I'm not doing anything, love?"

"Oh my goodness! Why are you just wearing a towel?" I averted my eyes away from his V-line.

"Because I just got out of the shower. What should I supposed to wear---or do you want me to wear nothing?" and I screamed when he acted like he's going to take off his towel.

"Good gracious God, Gabriel!" I run immediately to the bathroom and I heard him laughed before I slammed the door. "Argh!" 

I entered the shower room, but then his apple scent filled my nostrils. 

I sighed.

"Haist! Just another day of pretending," I told myself before I started taking off my clothes. Thanks to their maids for putting all my bathroom essentials here. My favourite aloe vera shampoo, my honey vanilla soap and of course my honey vanilla in shower lotion. I don't use hair conditioners. Why? Because I told you, I hate mornings, so I don't have time to put it on my hair. My time is always limited in the morning.

"Hmm... perfect," I muttered to myself after putting on my face cream. I just finished taking a bath. 

"Oh my! Tsk.tsk.tsk." I shake my head when I remember I didn't bring my clothes inside.

"Argh!" 

I pulled an extra towel to wrap in my hair as I wrapped the first one around my body.

I opened the bathroom door and peeked my head out, and when I noticed that he's no longer in the room, I stepped out and tiptoed towards his closet. Their maid has already arranged my stuff in one of his cabinets inside.

"Why do you walk on tiptoe?"
