The next morning, I wake up feeling sore everywhere. I can’t even find the strength to open my eyes. I can hear Alessia’s steady breathing next to me so I open one eye and see she’s still sound asleep. Apparently, I’m not the only one exhausted. Quietly I turn around and take my phone from the nightstand to check the time. What the fuck? How can it be eleven am already. When I try to get out of bed, Alessia’s arm comes around my waist and holds me in place.
“Where do you think you’re going?” She says all sleepy voiced.
“I really need to pee, so let me go!” I laugh. With a little huff she let’s go and I sprint into the bathroom to pee. When I’m done, I brush my teeth and comb my hair before I head back to bed.
“Get back in here, we don’t have anywhere to be today so we can just stay in all day.” Alessia says.
“It’s already eleven am, I need some food after that orgasm marathon last night.”
“Food is overrated.”
I let out a laugh and get a robe from one of the hangers on the wall.
“You may think so but my body is in need of food and coffee so I’m going to the kitchen; you can join me if you like. I’ll make you a mean espresso.” I singsong the last part.
“Okay, coffee does sound amazing. I’ll meet you there in a few minutes.”
I leave the room and walk to the kitchen to check what’s in the fridge for breakfast. I find some eggs and decide to make an omelet with a few slices of toast. We can both use the protein after last nights workout. As I whisk the eggs, I turn on the coffee machine. I put down the bowl to adjust the settings and a few seconds later the scent of coffee fills the kitchen. Hmmm, that smell never gets old. I’m busy making the omelet when Alessia enters the kitchen in nothing but an oversized jersey on bare feet.
“Is that my espresso?”
“Yes, and breakfast, or lunch, or whatever. It’s almost ready.”
She takes a seat at the bar and sips her coffee, letting out a relieved sigh, like it’s everything she ever needed. I plate the omelet and toast and put it in front of her with a glass of orange juice from the fridge.
“Buon appetito!” I say to her.
“This looks amazing babe, thank you!”
I take aseat beside her and dig in. Man, I was so hungry I could eat until I die.
“What are we doing today?” I ask.
“Nothing much. Alex and Elio got the business covered for today. I have absolutely zero meetings to go to and tomorrow is my coronation so I do need my beauty sleep today.”
“Oh okay. Guess I’ll sleep in my own room then tonight.”
“Never!” She squeezes my thigh in warning and I let out a full laugh.
“I was kidding, your bed is way too comfortable. Plus, you’re in that one.” I wink at her. “What are you wearing to your coronation?”
“I don’t know yet, I guess I should have something in my closet that would fit the vibe I’m going with.”
“And what vibe would that be?”
“The badass mafia queen vibe of course. I need to make a statement right out of the gate.” She chuckles.
“Okay, let’s have a look then.” I hop of the stool and walk over to the bedroom. “Are you coming?” I ask. With a sigh Alessia gets off of her stool, grabs her coffee and follows me into the bedroom.
An hour and a half later and surrounded by clothes we still haven’t found her the perfect outfit. Everything seems too bland for the vision we have in mind. I flop down on one of the clothing mountains we created.
“We could go shopping?”
