Baran likes to have everything planned out and ready all the time.
She hates being unprepared and never wants you to feel like an after thought.
You've never seen her look anything but put together.
Even on the nights you stay over she's awake before you and by the time you see her in the morning she's already dressed for the day.
If she's not getting up to take her son to school, she's heading to pilates.
If not pilates then she's heading into work early to pitch a new technique for improving the department.
She's always on the go and it's something you admire about her, but you can't help but wish you could help her relax more often.
You give her massages, set up baths, and make sure to cook for her, especially on the days when she works and you don't.
It was a Sunday morning, about four months into dating, when you wake up to the sun shining through the curtains like always.
You know Baran won't be there, but you move to feel her side of the bed anyway.
Your heart stutters when you are met with a warm body instead of cold sheets.
Neither of you had to work and her son was with his father, but you never expected her to be asleep beside you.
When you move to grab your phone to check the time you realize not only is Baran still there, but her arm was firmly around your waist.
It was ten in the morning and she hadn't even stirred.
Her hair was messily laying on her back and she had the covers pooled around her waist.
You must've been in some alternate universe because you always woke up with the covers on you.
That's when it dawned on you that Baran covered you every morning before she left.
Your heart warmed as you stared at her. You placed your phone down before tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
You felt like the luckiest person in the world getting to wake up next to her.
She was so peaceful and absolutely gorgeous.
“Good morning.” Baran's husky morning voice sent a shiver down your spine.
Her eyes were still closed as she placed a kiss on your neck and curled further into your side as she threw a leg over your hips.
When you didn't respond she sleepily lifted her head and looked at you. A dopey smile spread on your face as her eyes widened innocently.
“What's wrong?” She nuzzled into your jaw and placed another kiss there before looking at you again.
“This is the first time I've woken up with you next to me.” You said, astonished.
Baran furrowed her brows at you as she let out a soft chuckle and moved to straddle your hips.
“Aziz, you see me every morning we're together when I kiss you before I leave.” You stared up into her doe eyes and lifted an eyebrow at her.
“You kiss me in the mornings?” Baran tilted her head at you and smirked. She rubbed her eyes before laying back down on top of you.
“Every morning, and you even tell me to have a good day.” You can feel Baran smiling into your neck. You swallowed thickly.
Baran popped her head up to look at you again.
“Wait, all this time did you think I just left in the morning and that's it?” You shrugged at her as your hands came to rest on your thighs.
She sat back on her thighs and slowly pulled you up so that you could be face to face with her.
“Waking up with you every morning is my favorite part of the day. I'm sorry you thought I was abandoning you.”
She placed her hands on your cheeks and you wrapped your arms around her back.
“Not abandoning. I just thought you liked being punctual and every day had a purpose.” Baran huffed and jutted her bottom lip at you.
You promptly kissed away her pout and tightened your hold on her.
“While those things are true, you are more important to me than any of those things. Sure I like everything a certain way, but you make it easier to breathe. And contrary to popular belief I don't like waking up in the morning, especially when I have to leave you. My favorite mornings are when I get to wake up with you and pull you closer for five more minutes before starting my day.”
You absolutely melt at her words and don't realize your crying until Baran wipes away your tears.
“I shouldn't be crying at ten in the morning.” You playfully pout. Baran's eyes widened at hearing the time.
“I slept for ten hours?” She questioned incredulously. You nodded at her and kissed the corner of her mouth.
“No wonder I feel so well rested.” You smiled at her and pulled her back down so your back was on the bed.
She let out a little gasp as her lips melded with yours. You planned on spending just a few more hours in bed with her.
What a perfect way to spend the morning.
