*Elio*
Before the first light of dawn could stretch across the sky, I was awakened by the vibration of my alarm on the nightstand. My eyes snapped open, still groggy from last night. Cat was stuck to me like glue, her whole body squeezed up against me as tight as she could, legs entangled with mine, and her arms wrapped firmly around my chest like I was a giant teddy bear to her.
I sighed, trying not to disturb her as I yawned, reaching over for my phone before it vibrated off the nightstand. I blinked blearily at my phone as I turned it on, wincing at the sudden bright light. The alarm was marked as ‘Breakfast with Franky’ for 6:00 am.
I grimaced, sighing as I’d only gotten a few hours of sleep. Damn Franky and his early bird hours.
It took me an excruciatingly long time to extract myself from the tight hold Cat had on me without waking her, and I had to use pillows as a shield to keep her from rolling off the bed as I inched my way off.
