I never went to sleep, I couldn’t. I couldn’t take my eyes off her as she was sleeping. Stalker-ish? I don’t like to think so. I never stopped stroking down the front of her hair, moving imaginary locks behind her ear, sometimes running my thumb along her cheek as I did it.

She shifted slightly and I was scared I had woken her, but she just gripped her arm around my waist firmly and pulled me more into her. As if we aren’t close enough already. I laughed softly and shifted myself so that I was lying down completely, face to face with her.

Her head ducked so her face was nuzzled in my neck and she pulled me again, moving one of her legs between mine so they were tangled.

I pull back to move my thumb to trace her lips, god how I love those things.

I hear her moan slightly and a small smile appears on her face. She is getting ready to wake up, though she won’t allow herself to wake from the peaceful dream she is in.

I untangle myself to go and make some hot chocolate. It isn’t morning yet, it is only eleven at night so I don’t need a caffeine rush. I want her to feel warm and safe, something that will make you feel all snugly and comfortable. What better way to say that than a hot chocolate with little marsh mellows on top? 

When I managed to untangle myself, I make my way downstairs through the living room where I see a film was being watched and two figures were on the couch.

I made my way to the back of the couch to see Sam fast asleep, her head on Kyla’s shoulder and her arms around my sister’s waist. Kyla was stroking her arm as she leaned her own head against Sam’s, also fast asleep. I moved my finger’s down Kyla’s cheek to stir her. She opened her eyes and lets out a groggy groan. “What?”

“Maybe you should go to bed. You don’t want a stiff neck tomorrow morning.”  I whisper.

She rubs her eyes with her free hand and takes the sights in around her. When she looks back to me she smiles before leaning up and placing a kiss on my forehead. I turned the T.V off for her as she woke Sam up to get some proper sleep.
