Chapter Text
April never really woke up with the alarm. She growled at it, at Andy until he turned it off, then rolled over or snuggled down into the blankets for a few more minutes. Andy never pushed her to get up, even though he woke with the alarm. He usually just stayed there in the bed with her, his arm under her shoulders, his fingers turned in to drift and draw lines and circles against her skin where ever he could reach until she was ready to move.
Truthfully, this was her favorite time of day. Safe and warm in bed, the sun just starting to peek through the windows. Everything was peaceful and quiet, Andy's arms around her. There was nowhere else in the world she wanted to be.
"C'mon babe," he murmured. A glance at the bedside clock told her it was about time to get up and get moving. They had a morning ritual, and sleeping too long put them behind. "You can either sleep," he said, leaning in to sneak a kiss on her lips, "or we can go have sex in the shower."
April cracked one eye open. He always got her with that. How could she resist? She knew he knew she couldn't, and wouldn't. The shower was one of her favorite places to have sex. Something about the water cascading over his shoulders just really did it for her.
She lifted her head and gave him a lopsided grin. His eyes sparkled with mischief as he pushed the covers back and freed his legs from the tangle. All but jumping to his feet, he held a hand out to her and she reached for him and allowed him to pull her to her feet and into his arms. Mouths crashed together in a hot kiss, and April moaned in spite of herself.
She wondered if it would always be like this. She couldn't imagine ever getting tired of him. She loved him so much, and it seemed she loved him more and more with each passing day. She no longer remembered life without him.
