*Eliza's POV*

Night couldn't come quick enough. I waited... And waited... And fell asleep... And woke back up and waited some more... Nothing. Until finally at 3 in the morning, tap tap.

I jumped to the window, excited to see Ben again, but there was no one there. Just a branch tapping on the window. I pouted and sat back down on my bed. I had to stop myself from screaming when i felt gentle arms wrap around my torso from behind.

"I missed you..." He said softly.

"I missed you too..." I turned around so i was facing him and kissed him softly. He smelled like he had been in the woods for the past two hours or so.

Frankly, he smelled like a squirrel.

I laughed to myself as i pulled back. He raised an eyebrow.

"What?" He asked, confused.

"Nothing." I replied, still chuckling.

He smiled, gently pulling me towards the bed. I stopped and he looked at me.

"You can't get in my bed smelling like a forest." I said jokingly. He drawed back as if hurt.

"It's a manly musk! Besides, i already took one."

"When? Two weeks ago?"

He rolled his eyes, heading to the bathroom.

"Oh ha ha." He said bluntly.

He closed the door and i made my way to the bed, laying down and pulling the covers over me. A while passed and i was half asleep by the time the water shut off. It was a few minutes before the bedroom door opened and i heard him walk in. He got in bed beside of me and snuggled up to my side, wrapping his arms around me. I smiled softly, turning over and burying my face into his bare chest.

Bare chest...

I didn't give him any clothes to wear... So either he had an extra pair of boxers... Or i have a naked killer in my bed. I looked under the covers and my face went blood red.

"B-Ben!" I whisper shouted. He looked at me with a smirk.

"You never gave me anything to wear. I had to use what i had."

I went to sit up, but he pulled me back, wrapping me into a hug. I sighed in defeat and layed there beside him.

"Goodnight... I love you." He said quietly after a while. I yawned and snuggled up to him.

"I love you too Ben..."
