Usually, mornings were chaotic in your household, with your son needing to go to school and your husband, Joe, working crazy hours that sometimes left him confused to when the day had first started and when it ended.

So, when summer break started, and Joe had a rare day off, you were beyond thankful to not have to rush around at the crack of dawn.

Your eyes fluttered open briefly around 9:00am, and you had to remind yourself that for once, you were allowed to sleep in and relax; a fact that was made far easier when your gaze landed on the sleeping man next to you.

Joe’s hair was sticking out everywhere, and his lips were parted with light snores escaping… and yet you couldn’t think of a more handsome sight. You loved this man beyond words.

You shifted slightly in an attempt to get more comfortable, which caused a low groan to come from Joe, his arm around you tightening and pulling you closer to him.

“Don’t even think about gettin’ out of this bed…” His drowsy, drawled out words were spoken directly into your ear, his eyes not once opening as he nuzzled his face against the side of yours.
