Teja was hovering on the edge of the bed with her back turned to Adrian, wearing her nightgown again, curled up tight and fast asleep.

At first, it was more tempting to leave her there and let her rest, but after the intense intimacy of the night before, that felt too much like ghosting and reducing it to a one night stand.
Adrian leaned over and rubbed her shoulder.
"Hey," he said gently.

She responded with a monosyllabic noise that indicated, she hoped, awakeness, while also allowing her to not actually speak.

"I've got work in a few hours," he explained in a low, still sleep-muffled voice as he slid down beside her. "How are you feeling?"

She stretched a little, leaning back into him as though it were merely an excuse for her to do so.
"Same as before..."

"Mm."
He kissed her temple.
"Do you need anything? I'm going to have to get ready in a few minutes, I'm afraid."

"Mmm, I have to brush my teeth and all that before you take over the bathroom..."

"That's fine," he said. "Both of us could probably use another shower-"

"I plan on taking one, but I'll wait for you to leave," she said with a muzzy laugh.

Adrian put his arm around her, running his fingertips over her collarbones thoughtfully.
"Do you need me to take you anywhere on my way out?"

"Ohhh, you should, I guess, I'll never leave the room otherwise," she said with faint laughter, pushing one shoulder back so he could have better access to her body.

He kissed the top of her shoulder.
"I can, if you want-"

"I'll go to a bookstore or someplace. Don't some of them also have coffee shops? I'll get coffee and a book or something. Then later we can go do something else. I don't know-"

"We'll figure something out," he said, pressing another kiss to her temple as he started to get up.

Teja wanted to languish in bed a bit after he got up, but as soon as he left the bed she started to feel antsy. She was still a little tired, but experience had taught her that to get up when a little tired was much better than trying to sleep until you weren't tired anymore; you'd get a headache. She sat up to find her robe, found it was still on the footboard, and pulled it back on.
