You cuddled into Sharky's sweater, smelling the faint and almost faded signs of the cologne he always used in the morning.
You had a cup of warm tea in your hand, waiting for it to cool down before you could drink it.
It was pouring outside, your windows were covered in a thin layer of fog that built up because you had turned the heater on.
Typical London weather.
Just this morning it was bright and sunny, now it's dull and grey.
You were on the couch, watching a Kdrama called Blind.
Honestly, you were surprised by your own self, considering the fact that you'd always called all the shows "cheesy, corny and annoyingly similar to almost each kdrama that existed".
All of that quickly disappeared after Sharky finally convinced you to watch Blind.
It was a drama, but a thriller and detective story as well. And after getting a taste, you couldn't get enough of the plot. You liked it so much that you happily rewatched the episodes you and Sharky had already seen together, not wanting to watch anything without him.
You sighed, as the last episode, you both had already watched finished, picking up the remote and pausing the tv. You glanced at the window, seeing the sky light up.
Where the hell was he?
You picked up your phone.
10:34
No calls, no texts, no nothing. He said he'd be back late, but he didn't say how late. You wanted to call him, find out if he was ok and make sure he's on his way home.
But, on the other hand, you didn't want to come off as clingy or needy. You'd only been dating for half a year…Didn't really make sense since you moved in together. And you knew that it didn't make sense, but you'd rather not risk anything that might push him away.
Like being too clingy, so with another sigh, you put your phone down and clicked on a different show to kill the time.
Soon, after finishing your tea, you dozed off and fell asleep with Big Mouth playing in the background.
Your eyes opened to the sound of your front door squeaking open, followed by a series of ruffles that sounded like a coat being taken off.
"Baby?" You heard a whisper "You asleep?"
You blinked a few times before sitting up and seeing the hallway of your apartment lit up behind the living room wall.
"Sharky?" You groaned, getting up and making your way to the door.
"Heeyy," you were greeted by a big grin and smiling eyes "Did I wake you up?"
You looked him up and down, seeing a a wet umbrella on the floor and a puddle on the mat beneath Sharky. He was soaked.
You let out a tired chuckle.
"What?" He murmured with a smile, leaning down to take off his boots.
"You look like you've just got out of the pool."
"Have you seen the weather? It's been raining since noon!"
"What was the point of your umbrella then?"
He put his shoes on the rack and looked up at you, shrugging innocently. You shook your head before tiptoeing over to him, making sure not to step on the puddle, and pull him into a lazy hug.
"Oh I missed you too," he snickers, closing his eyes and resting his chin on your head for a couple of seconds. "I'm a bit offended you didn't call." He says as you step back, letting him finish undressing. "It's almost midnight and I've just come home."
You remembered your previous thoughts from today "I didn't wanna..." you paused "I mean I knew you were gonna come home. I didn't wanna like," you shrugged.
"Distract me?" He jokes sarcastically.
"Yeah..."
He saw the uneasy expression on your face.
"You know," Sharky began "I like it when you call me out of nowhere." He pulled off his hoodie.
Your eyes widened hearing his words "Really?"
He smirked "Yeah. It makes me feel wanted."
Wanted? Not annoyed?
"Oh." You felt a small smile tug at the corners of your lips as you realized something. Maybe Sharky didn't mind you being a little...clingy.
"I'm gonna go take a shower." He says, picking up his bag off the floor "We gon watch another episode? Or are you tired-"
"No!" You replied quickly "I really wanna know what happens next."
"Aha, alright. Don't fall asleep though."
"I won't."
That was the liest of the lie lies.
You went back to the couch, and while waiting you stared at the window, droplets of water hypnotizing you as they trickled down the outside of the glass.
"Hey, ba-" Sharky cut himself off as he stepped into the living room, seeing your eyes closed and head rested against a cushion.
"Oh, girl," he whispered, taking the blanket from beside you and covering you with it. He switched off the hallway lights and the tv, before sitting down beside you, closing his eyes and drawing small swirlies on your arm as he dozed off after you.
