Pov: Nate

Lana is wrapped in my arms when I wake up, our ankles are hooked together and her face is buried in the crook of my neck. Everything about this is perfect. I simply smile to myself and move my arm a bit to wrap around her waist, she immediately feels it & her eyes begin to flutter open, her forehead creasing. 

"Good morning, baby," she whispers and entangles our legs under the bedsheet, pulling me closer to her. I grin in absolute awe as she places lazy kisses on the side of my jaw and neck while she's still barely awake. 

I know we're both exhausted, which explains why we can't move, so we hold on to each other. Even though we're quite exhausted both physically and emotionally, I'm just happy we have each other.

She yawns and drops her head onto my shoulder, "I'm tired Nate," she softly murmurs and brings her hands to rub her eyes. "I know baby, do you want to stay home for the whole day?" I ask her, my fingers tracing patterns on her back. 

She moves a strand of hair out of my eyes and smiles, even the smallest curve of her lips is good enough to send my heart on overdrive. Nodding indolently, she caresses my neck with her palms, making me lean down and kiss her forehead. 

That's when the realization strikes me and I sigh, "Lana, um... we didn't use a condom last night," I murmur under my breath. She rests her hands on either side of my face and lowers her forehead to paste it against mine, hugging me closer, the fact that we're already bare under the bedsheet makes me so happy. 

"It's okay, I'll just get the pill tonight, don't worry," she answers in a part-mumble and closes her eyes, I give her a thin-lipped smile and drift off to sleep once again. 

Several hours later, I woke up feeling heavy pressure on my lower body. What is going on? I open my eyes in a daze to find Lana sitting on me, her legs on either side of my waist, while she holds a tube to my face. 

What is this girl up to now? "Lana... what are you doing," I question slowly, her face lights up as if she won the fucking lottery. Should I be scared or should I admire the hell out of her gorgeous face?

"Nate, look what I found, a face pack! can we put them on please, please?" she shouts in excitement, and me being the whipped boyfriend I am, of course, I can't say no. Also because she looks absolutely overjoyed and so I agreed.

"Thank you thank you! this is going to be so much fun, ah I love you!" she squeals happily, waving her arms around and getting off me to run into the washroom, why the fuck is she so cute!? 

Following her, I finish brushing my teeth and drinking some water. I take a seat on the window ledge as Lana instructed me to do so, "Sit. now" she demanded and I wonder how she can be hot and cute together. Fuck. 

She stands between my legs and grabs a headband from the table. "Look at me and tilt your head," she says, pinching my chin to lift it up and make me look at her. Beautiful honey-brown eyes lighting up under the rays of the sunshine, looking down at me like I'm her whole world. She's my everything anyways so, I guess we're even. 

I do as she says,  and watch as she slowly slides the headband through my hair to make sure that my hair doesn't fall on my face. "Aww, you look so cute what the hell," she coos, grinning from ear to ear, making me roll my eyes at how much amusement this brings to her. It's so fucking cute.

She squeezes a few drops out of the tube and starts applying it to my face. She applied it slowly so she wouldn't miss any spots, and she made sure I only looked at her focused eyes the entire time.
