~Bella's POV
I woke up slowly, the warmth of the sun gently creeping through the curtains. As my eyes fluttered open, I realized something: Alex's chest was beneath my cheek. My body was curled against him, his arms wrapped around me protectively, and I could feel his steady heartbeat in my ear. I hadn't meant to fall asleep on him, but it felt so comfortable, so safe. I smiled softly, not wanting to disturb the peaceful moment.
But as much as I wanted to stay there forever, I knew I should get up. The thought of making breakfast for him crossed my mind, and I decided it was time to move. I gently lifted my head, trying not to disturb him, but Alex had other plans.
"Where are you going?" His voice was low, husky with sleep, and his grip tightened around me, pulling me back to him.
I giggled softly, trying to wiggle out of his embrace. "I was thinking of making breakfast for you," I said, my voice soft and teasing.
