Brown Eyed Girl...

The pillow partially covering my face, I'm tired from the night before. I can feel my contacts on my eyes, reminding me that I haven't taken them out in more than 24 hours. The blanket is half way covering my chest... so warm and comfortable... I haven't been this comfortable in awhile.

I pass in and out of consciousness...
half asleep... half awake.

When the clouds break, the morning sun pierces through the blinds and dances on the walls, warming the room in temperature and colour.

I close my eyes...

She stirs a little...
Rolls over...

I open my right eye and she is looking at me from behind the pillow. Most of her face is hidden with the exception of her left eye and the corner of her mouth. Deep brown is the colour of her iris with a deep black pupil, staring with warmth. What she is pondering is only for her to know and me to guess.

She smiles her playful smile and buries her face in the pillow...
