Tessa's POV:

I wake up by someone's muffle coughing, when I open my eyes, I see Nora covering her mouth and getting inside her room with Landon behind her.

Is it morning? And where am I?

I look around to see where my about. I'm still on the couch under the covers and the TV screen is still on but the sound is so low that I could barely listen. Until I hear soft snores from my surrounding and I didn't realise that my head is on someone's shoulder up until I look up at the person.

I'm on Robert's shoulder.

Oh God. We slept together. It's not like I did or he did something, we didn't do anything we were just watching movie and I didn't know when but I just drift off to sleep and the second thing I know I'm with Robert under the same sheets. It's looks bad if someone was watching us sleeping like this- me in Robert's arm- but it's not. It just happened to be a mistake, a harmful mistake.

He's asleep. In deep sleep, with his head rested backward on the back of the couch, his mouth is silently open and his breathing shallow coming out of his parted pink lips. He looks so adorable with his messy straight blonde hair, his hair aren't as long that I used to see on my ex-boyfriend but long enough that few strands are scattered on his forehead and few steak stands up around his ear to the top of his head messily.

His left arm where my head is resting is up on the edge of back of the couch. It's look like he's trying his best to keep his hand off of my body, not to touch me in my sleep without my knowledge. It's really sweet of him to do and that's why I admire Robert so much, he knows his boundaries and he kept them in his mind like a gentleman he truly is.

I lift my head up from his shoulder without waking him up I move away from him and stand up on my feet. Moving up the blanket upto his chest I switch off the TV and go into the kitchen to get some coffee but I stop in my tracks when my alarm goes off. Shit. I quickly bend down to grab my phone on the teapoy to shut the damn thing off before I break his peaceful sleep.

How hard I try to swipe my finger across the screen but the screen didn't senses my skin. In the corner of my eyes I see Robert and his left arm which was on the back of the couch slides down in shock from the sound and he was almost stumbles down from the couch but halt his body with his right hand by gripping the arm of the couch, in reflex.

The annoying sound is still coming out of the small speaker. Shut up you damn thing, I curse my phone. Using the opposite hand and swiping the finger across the screen, finally the alarm stops ringing. Not so soon as Robert's eyes open and meet mine.

"Sorry to wake you up." I give him an apologetic smile.

He blinks rapidly to access where he's at and rubs the back of his hand on his eyes. "It's okay." He tells me and stretches his hands.

His shirt's sleeves are short and tight so when he's stretching his arms up they shows his highly gym developed biceps amazingly making my lower lip tuck in between my teeth.

"I slept over. Didn't know when I just passed out on the couch," he says bringing me back to reality from watching his body. Why I was staring at his biceps? He's attractive though but I shouldn't gawking at him right now in front of him, hope he didn't saw me.

"Yeah, I feel asleep too." I utter looking down at my feet. "You want something to drink? Coffee?" I ask move away from the teapoy.

"Uh...I would but I should go now, Kelsey might be worried about me not came to check on her last night." He tells me and stands up on his feet, folding the blanket he was in under, he places it on the couch. He didn't have to do that but I'm impressed to see it.
