Coffee Cutie

It was about 5:30 am when Ashlyn woke up. She knew that the sunrise was happening around 6:10 and she wanted to make sure that everything was perfect. She tried her hardest to get out of bed without waking Ali, but that was extremely difficult. During the night, Ali had curled her body up next to Ashlyn. Ali had an arm and leg covering Ashlyn, making it harder for Ashlyn to sneak away.

When Ashlyn finally made it downstairs she put on a pot of coffee and started looking through the cabinets to find something nice to make for breakfast. Ashlyn found some pancake mix and decided that would be a great breakfast to eat with the sunrise. She headed to the fridge to get the ingredients when she noticed that she had a bunch of fresh fruit and decided that would work great as a side.

As the coffee was brewing, Ashlyn was cooking away. She made plenty of pancakes, enough to feed the two of them and then some more. She made regular pancakes, fresh strawberry pancakes, blueberry pancakes, banana pancakes and chocolate chip pancakes. She also got out an array of different sauces. She made sure that Ali had as many options as possible. Ashlyn wanted everything to be perfect and romantic. She truly believed that Ali deserved to have a perfect morning, especially after they had such an amazing day yesterday.

With the smell of fresh coffee and pancakes filing the house, Ashlyn headed upstairs to wake up Ali. Ashlyn knew that she had about 10 minutes to get Ali out of bed and downstairs before sunrise. She didn’t know how easy it was going to be to wake up Ali, but she was prepared for the worst. Ashlyn knew that it was probably smartest to go with the sweet and gentle approach first. Ashlyn slowly rejoined Ali in bed, and curled up next to Ali. Kissing Ali softly on the forehead to start the waking up process. Ashlyn started out soft and quick, but the kisses started to change quick when she noticed Ali hadn’t even started to wake up. The kisses started to become longer with slightly more pressure. Ashlyn was trying to make her presence more known, without being that disruptive to Ali’s sleep.

The kisses weren’t working, so Ashlyn decided that the next best thing would be to softly rock Ali. Trying to get her to wake up without being forceful, and this seemed to work much better. Ali started to open her eyes. Ashlyn kissed her and waited for Ali to wake up a bit more before she took her downstairs.

Ali was beginning to sit up when Ashlyn told her that breakfast was ready. Ashlyn got back out of bed, headed downstairs to start bringing the food out to the table that she had on the balcony. By the time that Ali had gotten down stairs, everything was set up. Ashlyn had placed a platter full off the freshly made pancakes in the center of the table. On one side there was an array of syrups and on the other a small bowl of fresh fruit. There were two place settings, each with their own cup of coffee, cream and sugar sitting next to the syrups on the table.

“Morning babe,” slipped out of Ashlyns mouth as they both sat down for breakfast. Ashlyn hoped that Ali didn’t notice her slip.

“Morning.”

“Did you sleep well?” Ashlyn tried to continue the conversation, hoping that she wouldn’t have to explain herself.

“Slept great, you have a really comfy bed!”

They continued to eat their breakfast in silence, taking in the raw beauty that was the sunset. The sound of the waves crashing on the rocks, and the sea breeze made for a very peaceful morning. After they finished their breakfast Ali helped Ashlyn clean up and then headed home.

Ashlyn realized that she still had a few hours before she needed to even think about heading to work so she sat down in front of the TV and started catching up on some old shows. She didn’t last more than 10 minutes before passing out.
An hour pass by and Ashlyn wakes up in a panic. Thinking that she has over slept and would be late to work, she runs upstairs and changes into something more suitable for the shop. Once she is changed and ready to go, she realizes that she isn’t actually late. She instead is still early. Ashlyn takes a breath and heads back downstairs, and makes sure that she has everything she needs for the day.

There is no need for coffee today when Ashlyn heads to work because she has already had a couple cups and she knows that if she has any more she will have a midday crash.

Ashlyn gets to the shop before Kelley, and can’t help but laugh. Kelley should have been at work at least 10 minutes before opening at 8, and her date should be over by now. Ashlyn knew that she could use this to tease Kelley with when she finally arrives. “Well, well, well, I see that somebody finally decided to show up for work today.” Ashlyn said with a playful smirk.

“Don’t even go there, it was a long morning.”

“Haha, what did she do, spend the entire morning running away from you?”

“You wish. That’s not exactly what happened.”

“Okay, then feel free to correct me.”

“Ugh, fine. We met up by the fields and ran up to the schools and then headed to the beach. Everything was going fine. We actually pace each other really well. It was actually quite nice. But anyways, when we got to the beach she tripped on the sand and ended up falling on top of me. She lifted herself off of me, and there was a pause…. Oh yeah and then we continued down the beach. After we went down the beach we headed back to my house to shower. I showered in my room, she showered in the guest room… and then she headed out and I got ready for work… now I am here.”

“She fell on you? There was a pause? Explain.”

“She fell on me. Started to lift her body off of mine, and she stopped when her face was inches away from mine. She held it there for a few seconds then continued to get off of me…”

“Am I sensing some sexual tension?!?!” Ashly said with a smug face.

“Yeah….there was some of that…..”

“Wait, there was more sexual tension?”

“Well…we… kind of cut that tension at one point…”

“You dirty girl. Did you sleep with her?”

“NO!”
“Then how did you cut the tension?”

“Well we kind of kissed….”

“Really, you tried to leave out that tiny detail?”

“I was hoping that you wouldn’t notice.”

“Dumbass, you really thought I would miss that?”

“Yeah I did”

“Okay, enough stalling. SPILL!”

“Fine. We kissed. Once…well twice…maybe a lot.”

“Really, I need more than that.”

“Ugh, you are so annoying. After I got out of the shower, I walked into the guest room, thinking that she was dressed, turns out she was in the process of getting dressed…She had her pants on… and her bra. She just hadn’t exactly put her shirt on yet. Then…um… we started slowly walking towards each other. We stood in face to face for a moment, and then she pulled me in for a kiss. One kiss turned into two, and then we kind of ended up making out on the guest bed for a little bit….”

“Hot damn, and you only made out?”

“Yes, I am not that person…”

“Bullshit, you totally would, and you know it.”

“Fine, you’re right.”

“Thanks! I always am!”
