Katie’s phone rattled against the hard against the night stand jarring her awake.
Message from Jake – ‘Finishing up my last set. See! I am working hard for you’ The picture that followed was a bit shaky, Jake was on the edge of the workout bench in black shorts and a white long sleeve shirt that clung tight to his body. His mussed hair and slightly red face made it obvious that he had been vigorously exerting himself. Katie loved these types of pictures, there was something primal about a man working himself to exhaustion.
Message from Jake – ‘But, think I will need a nap when I get home after this one’ ‘see you soon ’.
Katie lazily roll out of bed, it was already mid-morning and the feel of the long reaching stretch was the perfect way to start the day. The slightly open window let in the refreshing sound of a soft drizzle on a perfectly grey day. She had wanted Jake to stay and keep her warm but he had insisted on getting a work out in so they could ‘do something new with the day’. The room was chilly, a rush of goosebumps raced across Katie’s soft pale skin as she freed herself from the warm embrace of her bedding. A hot shower, the kind that fogs up the whole washroom was definitely in order.
