things you said at 1am
Olivia rolled over in bed, expecting to roll into the body of Rafael, but instead she was met with cold sheets. She shivered slightly at the sudden change of temperature and opened her eyes. The light from the bathroom was off, so he wasn’t there. She groaned and turned to see what time it was. 1:00. Well, so much for getting a good nights sleep, she thought as she climbed out of bed.
She left the bedroom and walked into the open area of her apartment. “Rafa?” She called out quietly.
“In here.” Came the whispered response of her absent bed partner. Liv located the voice to the kitchen and saw him stirring something in a glass bowl.
“What are you doing? It’s 1:00 in the morning.” She said, leaning against the counter to watch him. He turned to look at her, half a smile forming on his lips.
Rafael added chocolate chips to what she had figured out was cookie dough and kneaded them in. “Couldn’t sleep. Then, I remembered that Noah has to bring cookies to school tomorrow for the class party. Hence the dough.” He said, turning to the sink to wash his hands. She raised an eyebrow when he turned back around and wrapped his arms around her waist. “Sorry if I woke you.” He kissed her forehead, releasing her to go back to his cookies.
“You could’ve stopped at the store in the morning. I thought that was the plan anyway?” She asked.
”It was. But I had nothing else to do.”
Olivia shook her head, a smile on her face now. “You’re a good dad.” She told him, and he turned over his shoulder, smiling widely at her. “I’m going back to bed. Join me when you’re done?”
“Wouldn’t miss it.”
