Derek groaned slightly. "There are times when leadership is highly over rated," he grumbled as he sat up and slipped his legs over the side of the bed.
"Just as long as being a husband isn't." Julia teased, gently tugging him up and directing him toward the bathroom with a kiss to his cheek before heading toward the bedroom door. "No, of course it isn't," he said groggily as he moved towards the bathroom door and entered. He took a very long hot shower. That helped, well it helped some. He still would have gladly gone back to bed. But he had his job to do, so he shaved, dressed and combed his hair. Then headed downstairs to the kitchen. He was very glad that Julia had been true to her word and made coffee, because he definitely needed it and the smell wafting from teh kitchen was what drew him there.
