“Even the bathroom is pretty,” I say as Conrad and I relax in our bath.
It was mostly beautiful white and grey marble. Beautiful bright lights are in it, and our tub sits under a high marble arch. It is all so pristine.
“It is stunning.” He agrees.
The bath is a great size, too, with enough room for the two of us to spread out. Conrad put bubbles into it, lit some candles, and we are having champagne and strawberries while we relax. I am only having a small glass while Conrad has more.
“It really is. This is so nice after our long day.” I say.
Conrad slips his free hand around the front of my body and kisses my shoulders, “It is what we needed. We will be fresh for our adventures to start tomorrow.”
“I am excited to see the city and for dinner.”
I really hope dinner doesn’t end in disaster once Conrad finds out one of his old college friends is dating his little sister. We all know how protective he is.
“I am not excited for dinner. I worry my sister has picked another asshole.” He sighs.
I place my hand over his and glance over my shoulder to look at him, “She seems happy with him. With everything she has told me about him, he seems really nice, and like he cares. Please, give him a chance and don’t walk in all tough and annoyed.” I whisper.
“I promise I will stay calm, but if after we meet him, I get a bad vibe from him or he acts like a jackass, I will be saying something.” He states firmly.
“And I will be right there with you. As long as you are willing to give him a chance. He may surprise you.” I smile and reach up, pressing a soft kiss to his lips.
He mumbles a yes against my lips. I pull away and turn back around, resting myself against his chest. I reach for my champagne, take a sip and set aside. I close my eyes and sigh in contentment.
“I love you, beautiful.” He whispers and pecks my neck.
I smile, “I love you too, handsome.” I coo.
I could stay here for hours, but it is getting late, and we still need to eat.
“We should probably get washed, uh, and get out?” he chuckles.
It is like he read my mind.
“Yes. I need food and sleep.”
We finish our champagne and focus on washing our bodies and hair. Conrad climbs out first, and I enjoy the view of my sexy, naked boyfriend for a moment. I bite on my lip. God, the man is like a damn God.
“Are you coming out or just going to stare at me?” he laughs, holding a towel out for me.
I snicker and climb out, stepping into the towel. It is so fluffy and warm. He wraps me in it before he takes one for himself, doing the same. He places his hand on the small of my back, leading us back to the bedroom.
“I will order food before it gets any later. What would you like?” he asks.
We took a look at the menu before our bath.
“I want the toasted cheese and onion wrap with a side salad and coleslaw.”
“A cheeseburger and fries for me.” He smiles.
Eating at this time of night isn’t the best idea, but we are hungry. We can watch a movie and allow the food to settle before sleeping. Conrad calls down while I dry off and get into some pjs. Not really pjs, one of Conrad’s tees and some panties.
“They said it won’t be long. I ordered hot chocolate, too, with marshmallows and whipped cream.” He smiles.
I clap my hands, excited, “Yay.”
Conrad smiles brightly at me, “Always so cute when you are excited.”
I climb into bed, and Conrad sits next to me. He didn’t want to get comfortable because he would need to move to get the door. I could answer, but I would prefer it if no one saw me in what I was wearing.
We find a movie to watch, ready to play once our food arrives. There is a knock soon enough. Conrad takes a generous tip from his wallet, answers the door, thanks him, and brings the food to the bed. It looks and smells incredible. My tummy grumbles at the scent, making me realise just how hungry I am. I can’t wait to tuck in.

I wake to Conrad moving around and switching the TV off.
“Hey, I was watching that,” I whine.
He chuckles, “Angel, you fell asleep about half an hour.”
“Really?”
I thought it had only been a few moments I dozed off for.
“Yes. One minute, you were talking to me; the next, you were sound asleep.”
“Sorry. I didn’t mean to fall asleep on you.” I pout.
He reaches over to kiss me, “You have nothing to be sorry for. Do you want me to keep a lamp on? I know how anxious the dark can make you in a strange place?”
“No, we can switch it off. I am sure I will be fine.” I smile.
I can’t sleep in the dark back home. I am sure I can do it here, too.
“Okay, but if you change your mind, tell me, and I will put it on, okay?”
“I will. I promise.”
Conrad makes sure everything is switched off before he pulls me close to snuggle into him. I drape half of myself over him and bury my face in his neck.
He strokes my hair, “Goodnight, my love.”
“Goodnight, handsome,” I reply and nuzzle his neck.
It won’t take me long to fall back asleep. Conrad wraps me tightly in his arms. I know this position can’t be the most comfortable one for him, but he will never tell me that. He knows I feel secure in it. It is sweet he lets it happen. I am positive he moves during the night but makes sure to get back into the position before I wake up.
“I love you,” I whisper.
“I love you, sweetheart.”
Those are the last words I hear before I finally start to drift off again. We have a lot of exploring to do tomorrow and our dinner tomorrow night. I want to be well-rested for our activities. I plan to make the most of London and see as much as possible. I want to enjoy not having to worry or look over my shoulder every two minutes for the next few days.
