Waking up the next day I felt a sense of calm and serenity wash over me.

Snuggling further into Alexander's chest, I let out a sigh of content.

He was so damn cuddly and soft.

Though I know for a fact if I tell him then he'd probably kick me out of bed.

The sunlight streaming into the room from the window makes me feel soothingly warm and for once the morning light does not annoy the hell out of me.

Lifting my head up I gaze at Alexander, his lips lay parted as soft puffs of breath leave his lips, his sculpted jawline making it unbearable for me not to touch him.

Tracing his jaw with my finger tips I notice the slight scruff on his jaw, from not shaving for a while. Just that stubble makes him look ten times hotter.

His arm tightens around my waist and so I quickly stop, afraid he'll wake up and catch me staring at him.

A few more minutes pass by in totally and utter bliss.

That is until my eyes widen in panic.

The all too familiar pain in my abdomen reoccurs as it often does so. Trying not to get too alarmed I slightly shift in Alexander's hold.

That is until I feel a light trickle down my thighs.

All caution flies out the window from that point.

I'm in so much shit right now.

Gently lifting Alexander's arm from around my waist I somehow manage to slide out of bed without waking him up.

I was most certainly a ninja in my former life or a cat.

Rushing into the bathroom I make sure to lock the door behind me, double checking in case Alexander decides to make an appearance from thin air once again.

I was positively certain I had locked my bedroom door yesterday.

Okay now is most definitely not the time to think of locked doors.

Quickly checking, my suspicions are confirmed and I groan.

Both out of annoyance and embarrassment.

Mother Nature just had to decide to make an appearance today didn't she.

Today out of all the days.

Almost as if I had wronged her in some way, she decided to make my day worse.

In the form of Alexander waking up.

His panicked tone makes it way to my ears and I can just imagine him looking all adorable and confused, not finding me there in bed with him.

Why do I do this to myself?

"Nora?" He calls out.

"Nora where are you?" His voice becomes alarmed and then I hear a loud thud followed by a string of curses.

I'm assuming he fell off from the bed.

His cursing stops as he comes over to the bathroom door and knocks.

"Nora are you in there?" His voice comes out all hoarse and husky due to him just waking up.

Oh shit.

What do I do now?

Knowing I have no other option, I call out to him hesitantly,

"Um yeah?" I answer back hesitantly.

"Ugh Nora why didn't you answer the first time? I was starting to get worried." He says groaning.

"Well," I start and then trail off.

"Yeah?"

"I may or may not have a certain situation going on." I choose my words very carefully.

"What situation?" He says starting to get impatient and more concerned now.

"Mother Nature's arrived."

Why am I prolonging this more than I should?

I should've just gotten this over and done with.

"Mother Natu-? Oh." He says stopping short.

"Yup." I reply back awkwardly, still on the toilet, almost face palming myself.

"Um I don't have any tampons or pads or whatever...." I can hear the uncomfortableness in his voice and I start laughing out loud.

A very bad habit of mine that I had acquired since basically the beginning of time was to laugh whenever I was nervous.

That along with my leg shaking made everything even more weirder which gained me very curios looks.

"Well I need them and I don't have any on me." I say back.

"Can't you just, I don't know, get some tissue paper or something?"

Rolling my eyes at him I snap back,

"No I can't!"

"Jeez it hasn't even been a full day and she's already PMS'ing." He mumbles out.

"I heard that."

"Shit. I'll just go to the store real quick. I'll be back in ten, babe."

"Thank you." I call out to him just as the door slams close and I can hear him run around the floor before heading down to the other lower level like a madman.

********

True to his words, around ten minutes later Alexander appears on the other side of the door all huffing and panting.

He knocks on the door and I quickly scurry to open it.

Popping my head round it, I see he has a bag in his hand, pecking him on the lips as a thank you, I quickly rush back into the bathroom.

Placing the brown bag on the counter, I riffle through the things.

My heart warms at the amount of effort he had put into it.

He had gotten me various types of products, some I hadn't even heard of.

Thankfully though he had gotten the very one I use.

Coming out of the bathroom I see Alexander leaving on the bad and then getting up suddenly as I come out.

"You okay?" He asks concerned.

Laughing at the look on his face I nod and then thank him once again.

"I'm really sorry for snapping at you."

And I honestly was, I had felt so bad.

"It's fine, you're okay though right?"

Giggling again I nod.

"I'm not dying Alexander."

"Well when you're usually bleeding that's what happens."

I scrunch my nose up at him.

"Ew."

He laughs and then seemingly realises something.

"Oh uh I didn't know what you liked and from experience with Stella I know women usually crave certain things," Alexander sounds so uncomfortable but still manages to continue. "But uh I still got you some things."

Looking at the bag he was pointing down at I almost 'awe' as I see the bag filled with various snacks ranging from sweet to salty and everything in between.

"Thank you so much." I say once again.

He was honestly the best well whatever he was ever.

Knowing that was a serious issue between the two of us, I know I have to bring the topic up soon and by soon I mean today.

Even as uncomfortable as it seems.
