2:53 am.
The couple slept somewhat peacefully in their bed as the construction worker cuddled his wife. She shifted around a bit, her eyes opening a bit. She then had just realized she forgot to work on some paperwork. She sat up, grabbing her glasses off the countertop.
She looked down at Rex, smiling softly as she patted his head. He stirred awake, yawning. “Pais..what are you doing up?..” “I need to do some work..” “This late?” He wrapped his arms around her waist.
“I mean..” She interrupted herself, sighing. “I’ve been trying to catch up because my schedule NEEDS to be perfect tomorrow..” “Hey. It doesn’t need to be perfect..” Rex put his hand on her cheek.
She gently swatted it away, pinching her forehead. “I just..FEEL like it needs to be. Plus I have a meeting with the other villains tomorrow.”
Rex leaned his head onto her lap. “Well if you’re gonna stay up, so am I. I can make us some coffee if you like..” He smiled softly at her, some tiredness showing in his eyes. Paisley returned the affection by kissing him on the forehead.
“That would be nice honey..would you mind?-“ “Oh! No- hold on-“ Rex lifted his head from her legs, stretching his arms. “I’ll go make the coffee now. You’ll be at the-“ “The desk. That’s right.” They both reached over and pecked each other on the lips.
“Alright, see ya!”
“You’re only across the house Rex..”
“I know. I’ll still miss ya!”
Paisley giggled a bit, getting down from the bed and leaned back, cracking her back. She walked over to the light switch and flipped it, shielding her eyes from the light.
She could hear the faint footsteps of Rex and the coffee machine, the material of the cups landing on the countertops..she grinned as she headed into her office room.
The door creaked open. She stepped inside, turning on the lamp near her desk before sitting down in her chair. Opening up her laptop, she checked the time.
2:57 am.
Pretty early in the morning you could say. Paisley yawned, her eyes more tired than usual. Rex walked in not too long after, placing the two cups of hot coffee on the table.
“Here we go Pais..” “Thanks..” “Any time!” His hand rubbed her back softly, kissing her on the forehead. “Mmh..you should probably grab a chair if you wanna watch me work..don’t wanna sit on the floor, do you?”
“Already got it!” He cheerfully exclaimed, quickly running out of the room and dragging in a chair. He pushed it next to where Paisley was sitting, placing himself down on the chair.
“Let’s get started shall we?”
