Chapter 25: xxiv.

Erold groggily woke up, feeling the burns of the sunlight through the curtains. He tried to open his eyes but he was blinded with the sudden light. He closed his eyes again and tried to reach for Nixel. To his dismay, he wasn't there.

He sat up from where he was lying down and looked at the corners of the room looking for Nixel. The brunet stood up, walking outside of the room to the kitchen hoping he'll see him there but sadly, he wasn't there nor inside of the house.

He looked at the clock and it was only 9 o'clock in the morning. Where could his lover be at this hour? Erold sighed at the thought and went to the kitchen to get himself a coffee. After drinking the frappuccino he had, Erold suddenly finds caffeine addicting. Although, he has his own preference for coffee, it was still coffee and good.
