A wall of red is all I see when I wake up in the morning. It takes me a minute, but I smile realizing that it's Rachel. I slowly remove the fiery tendrils from my face and lean over my girlfriend placing a gentle kiss to her lips.

I used to hate waking up in the mornings before her. Now, I can't wait for them.

My heart melts when I see her hazel eyes open.

"What a surprise. Good morning, beautiful." She says her voice husky with the remnants of sleep.

"Good morning to you too, babe." I reply before giving her a kiss on the lips.
