Beeeeeeeep!
The coffee machine sounded, signaling yet another morning for Leslie. She got up out of the seat at the dining table where she waited and retrieved her ceramic coffee cup off the counter. When she was done pouring her coffee, she added a very light amount of milk and sugar, mixed it all, and sat back down. After taking a big slurp! of her own type of liquid ecstasy, she opened the laptop. The clock read only 7:16, so she had a good amount of time before her lover awoke. For the time being, she browsed the internet for old trends and Tumblr memes until newly-found prompt posts led her to Google Docs.
Almost an entire pot of coffee and three hours shot by, and before she knew it, footsteps approached from the nearby hallway.
“Good morning.” Leslie said softly, peeling her eyes away from the white glaring screen to face her lover.
“Mmngh... Mornin’,” replied a sleepy Beau, rubbing her eyes. She stumbled over so she was behind Leslie and rested her arms on her shoulders, leaning in slightly. “You look gorgeous today, angel.”
Leslie took a second to just smile at this. Every time she was peppered with compliments by Beau, even if it was something simple, she felt herself falling in love all over again. “Thank you, I left some coffee for you. I can make another pot for you, if you’d like.”
“Aw, you did? Now that is affection!” She gently rubbed Leslie’s shoulders before stepping back and going to get some coffee for herself. While she did so, Leslie closed the laptop and listened to Beau singing some song she didn’t know to herself. She sat across from her and they soon found themselves conversating over coffee, just like they had on their first date. Now that is peace.
