Cherry's pov:

I woke up, my head laying on something hard and warm (hehe don't be dirty minded... yet). I barely opened my eyes only to see Joe's chest. That gorilla and his physique.... I wished my body was as good as his maybe then I would be more handsome...

I always felt insecure about my body and shape. In high school I got piecing hoping it would make me cooler. Covering my flaws with jewelry. Growing up I realized I was dumb and stupid. I wanted to be recognized and acknowledged by my first love. Was it wrong of me? 'Did he not find me attractive before?' I used to ask myself. People used to call me a woman and I felt like he did too. But now it's different. I realized that I am not what people thought of me. I am myself and maybe I am starting to like who I am. Just maybe.

He does make fun of me by calling me names such as "four eyes" or "princess" and it makes me again question if I am good enough. Then I would remember that he loves me, that he chose me for who I am. The thing about insecurities is that they will always be around the corner, waiting for an opening to strike. But for now they are far behind me to see. I hope they stay away, at least for a while. I wanted to be happy. Oh, what I dream.

I sat down, slowly trying my best not to wake this stupid gorilla up. I knew he didn't sleep much, and I wanted to let him rest a bit longer. Even though I wanted to talk to him a little more and cuddle up with him... we had time for it later.

The sun was up in the sky, it was 10 am. It was the best sleep I have gotten since a while now. All my anxiety that had piled up, slowly drifted away with the morning sun.

"You are my light" I whispered under my breath.

"And you are my star" Joe's sleepy voice interrupted me.

I looked down, only to see Joe awake. I got embarrassed. I turn to face the window, blushing hard. Why does it always happen to me when I least wanted it. But what did he mean by 'star'? I couldn't help but wonder.

"Good morning, princess" he said before hugging me by the waist.

I loved this man so much. Please don't take him away.

"I am going to wash up. Please let me go" I asked still not making eye contact.

"You can stay a little longer... why the rush?" He asked. I knew he was enjoying teasing me. I bet he had a smirk on his face.

"Seriously Ko, let me go, I need to go to the bathroom" I said hoping his grip would loosen up so I can escape this embarrassing moment.

"Am I a bother? Or is it because I am making you blush baby~?" he chuckled.

"I am not blushing!" I answered, turning to face him. What was I trying to prove? I was obviously red as a tomato.

He was laying on his side, his face stuffed in my stomach. He looked so hot. All I wanted to do was make out with him until we stopped breathing but I couldn't do that.

"Come here" he asked, pulling my hand down, making me lay back again.

"Ko, I told you I needed to use the bathroom" I repeated, pushing away from him. But he was stronger and before I knew it, I was laying back on the small bed. Our faces were too close to each other. He could feel my heartbeat going crazy.
