The insistent ringing of the telephone shattered the morning calm. The single occupant of the bed groaned, and pulled her pillow over her head in an effort to drown out the insistent sound. She smiled in relief as it finally cut off. Maneuvering herself once more into her preferred sleeping position. Curled on her husbands side of the bed.
A delicate hand reached out to smack the alarm clock off, before that too could interrupt her sleep.
Another groan was heard as the phone began to ring once more. With a muttered curse she burrowed under the covers, pillow and duvet pulled over her head. The effort wasted as the phone continued to ring. The caller insistent to be heard.
As the phone cut off, she waited in fear of it ringing again. When five minutes passed, and the phone had yet to start it’s belling, she sighed in relief, and once more settled herself comfortably into the covers.
The sudden re-appearance of the ringing phone, caused her to jump, her eyes wide with terror. With a muttered growl she stalked towards the innocent looking device and jabbed the talk button.
“Yes,” she growled.
“Morning Midii, just wanted to say good morning as you were asleep when I left.” The cheerful voice of her husband intoned.
“Trowa! I am going to kill you! I was sleeping!” she whined, leaning back against the wall, eyeing the bed longingly.
“It’s already 9 o’clock. Time to be up and about not lazing in bed.” He replied with forced cheer.
“I just got back last night, at 3 am, I’ve been given a week off. I am meant to be sleeping.” She responded in the same tone.
“Ah, but Midii dear, you forget. It’s payback.” He chuckled at her stunned silence.
“Trowa!”
