Chapter 24

Irene Payton

I opened my eyes slowly and turned to my right to see Joel still sleeping soundly. We both cuddled each other to sleep last night and it was the best sleep that I've ever had after a long long time not having it.

I kissed Joel's cheek and got off the bed to go to the toilet. I showered and am ready to start my day today. I walked out from the bathroom and still found Joel sleeping.

I changed into my casual clothes, put on some makeup and walked towards him. I started to kiss his cheek and slowly trailing to his lips.

"Morning baby.. rise and shine." I said when he opened up his eyes.

"No.. cuddle me more.." He pulled me to his arms.

"Joel.. it's 11"
