The dazzling morning sunlight pierced through the window making Aira wake up. It took a while for him to get used to his eyes receiving light. Aira inhaled air into her lungs and smiled. Her sleep is very good
"Good morning princess."
The heavy voice of a man shocked her to make her sit down. He remembered where and with whom. He quickly checked his clothes which were still in a flawless state.
"Waaah... I feel so offended now." Erigo. A stupid smile adorned his handsome face. "You think I'm gonna take advantage of a sleeping girl?" Erigo looked at Aira fixedly with an accusatory highlight.
He doesn't know what to respond in any way. "I'm sorry. Reflex." Said slowly.
Aira quickly realized the cause of her deep sleep was the clenching of Erigo's hands. His eyes glare at Erigo's and his heartbeat gets messy because Erigo looks amazingly handsome and sexy when he wakes up.
"Good reflex." Erigo. "My love takes good care of her." Said nodding.
Aira did not dare to look at Erigo. "I'm sorry. I've never woken up next to a man, so I'm surprised to hear your voice." Honest speech. "This is the first time." Aira acknowledged and her face flushed red. He felt embarrassed because Erigo saw his innocent face when he woke up.
Erigo smiled and stroked Aira's hair slipping her fingers between the soft strands of Aira's hair. "me too. This is my first time waking up and finding a woman beside me with disheveled hair on my pillow and arms." Erigo.
Oh Aira felt her heart was about to jump out. Not because of the cold, but Erigo's caress made the feathers on his body bristle. Aira wished that Erigo would not see all the pores on his skin open.
Erigo looked at him sharply. "You should see your look in front of the mirror, baby. With tangled hair masai and plain face. You're so sexy that other people can think you just spent a hot night with me." Erigo blatantly said.
Aira widened nervously tidying her tangled hair with her finger. He forced himself to laugh. "I must look messy. This is what happens when you sleep with wet hair." Her speech.
"You look beautiful and very nervous." Erigo said in a low and hoarse voice.
Erigo raises his shoulder. "i like it. You look very seductive. I'm almost out of control." Say again.
This time Aira shuddered in horror making Erigo laugh out loud seeing the expression that Aira showed. "Jeez Aira. I can't stop teasing you."
"Stop that. You're not funny." He said and tried to get out of bed.
Erigo quickly pulled her back up on the mattress, pinned her down and kissed her lips, took a strong sip and kissed her. "At least I should get a reward for being so well-behaved all night." Erigo stood up and went to the bathroom to wash his face.
Aira was surprised. Her lips felt swollen and numb when it was still early in the morning.
____________________________
Aira and Erigo sat face to face waiting for their breakfast to be delivered. The innkeeper's aunt had already made porridge for their morning meal. The aroma is very savory and tempting to taste. Though they had eaten full last night before going to bed, but the delicious aroma made their stomachs feel hungry again.
The woman served 2 bowls of porridge still steaming in the cold morning air, followed by 2 cups of hot, smoky and fragrant coffee. The morning was perfect, thought Aira. Aira smiled with satisfaction.
"Oh, look. You're not fighting, are you?" Asked the old lady the innkeeper started the conversation.
Erigo looked a little surprised by the question, yet he smiled. "No aunt. We're fine." Erigo.
"Oh. Well then, you must have fallen asleep last night." The woman nodded and smiled a friendly smile.
The old woman laughed in embarrassment as she flicked her hands in front of her face. "It's nothing. It's just that, many times some couples stay here, they__you know___they make noises at night." Say it with a tone in pull.
Aira tilted her head and frowned slightly. Confused because it did not catch the aunt's intent. "What voices?" Tanya Aira was curious. He had already imagined ghosts and other spooky things.
The woman laughed embarrassedly. "Eiii__it__you know__votes at night. Makes me unable to sleep because my room is in the back. And the walls of this house are not impermeable at all." Say again.
Erigo who first understood immediately responded. "Ohhh__the voices. I get it." Say it and laugh. "No aunt, we didn't do it. We're just resting." He nodded his head politely.
Aira gaped wide until she had to use both hands to close her mouth. He understood it too late.
The woman laughed again. "Oh I really slept well last night and didn't wake up until morning. That's why I asked. I thought you guys might fight to the point of doing nothing. I guess you guys just want to rest." His words were more like convincing himself. "I'm sorry. Please eat before the porridge is cold." He then disappeared into the kitchen.
Erigo looked at Aira with amused feelings. He held back his laughter with a smile until his pure white face turned red.
Aira herself clenched her hands in a frenzy. His eyes grew bigger and his eyebrows shot high. "Bad.. That's.. Ow. Oh my God!!" He said slowly and restrained. He cupped his hands over his blushing face and laughed behind it. "God. Why am I so embarrassed" he looked at Erigo who was giggling amusedly.
Erigo leaned his body forward, his eyes glittering ignorant. "I think we should have just done it last night so as not to be suspected as a couple fighting." Erigo said in a whisper. Then he laughed at his own words.
Aira. "You're so silly." Aira's whisper then giggled slowly.
The two of them half-deadly struggled to keep from choking while eating as they could not stop laughing. They laughed at the innkeeper's innocence, also laughing at how miserable their circumstances were for some who took different choices.
Once again Aira and Erigo chalk up the silliest history in the relationship they went through after a tragedy lurking in a closet.
They laughed on the way home. "I'll never come there again." Aira. "I can't believe he's gonna ask." Aira shook her head.
Erigo chuckled beside her. "His owner is very nosy." Erigo.
Aira laughed again. "Augh... My cheeks hurt a lot." Her speech. "Laughing makes me tired. But I pity her, the aunt must have been distracted all night."
Erigo stroked Aira's head. "He must make an announcement that visitors who stay are prohibited from making love because the room is not soundproof." Erigo was heartbroken, and so was Aira.
Aira yawned once more.
"Sleep. I'll wake you when we get there." Erigo said again and Aira nodded.
After ten minutes, Erigo glanced at Aira who was asleep on the passenger bench. He smiled faintly. She recalled how last night Aira's tiny body was attached to her like a puzzle. It fits perfectly, fits perfectly and makes it comfortable.
Erigo struggles to stay sane because just remembering to be able to raise his passion. He had gone through a rough night of resisting desire. While Aira in her arms fell asleep like a baby. Maybe, Erigo thought.
Aira was perfectly in her arms, and if she ever got Aira in her bed, making love to her, she knew for sure that she would never be able to let Aira go again.
There was only one way to get his wish against Aira. Weddings. Erigo had already started thinking about it. Slowly but surely, he wanted to take this relationship to a higher level. That way he'll have the whole Aira, just for her.
