After enjoying Xander's soothing scent, Scarlett tried to escape from his embrace. She asked while looking up to see his face, "Why didn't you wake me up, Xander?" Her gaze met his calm eyes.
Xander smiled and gently tucked her smooth hair behind her ears. "How could I disturb your sleep when you were sleeping like a baby? Well, dear... I knew you returned late, so I let you sleep a little longer. Besides, we didn't have any plans for this morning." He paused, his fingers still caressing her hair, and locked eyes with her.
"Babe, go get changed now! I can tell you're getting hungry!" He chuckled as he heard a low growl emanating from her belly. He playfully rubbed her stomach, eliciting a giggle from her.
"Stop it, Xander!" Scarlett tried to wiggle away from him. "Alright, alright, I'll freshen up!" She dashed to the bathroom like a rabbit evading a fox.
