"Why does it have to be so cold?" I say as we walk into Chase's hotel room. "Well, it is New York City. And it's December 3rd. What did you expect?" He laughs. I take off the winter coat he let me borrow, "well, not this." I hang it up on the coat rack and take my shoes off before joining him on the bed. "Today's been a long day," I say as I settle next to him, bringing the blankets up to my chin. "Agreed." I shiver as another cold chill takes over my body. "How are you not cold right now??" I eye him as he lays completely on top of the blankets. "You're still cold?" "Very," I say as my teeth start chattering. He playfully rolls his eyes before getting under the blankets, pulling me to him until every inch of our bodies are pressed together. "I'll warm you up," he says, his hot breath fanning my neck. I sink back into him, soaking up as much as his body warmth as he can. "How are you this cold?" He laughs. "I was made for California weather, not this shit," I joke, pulling his arms tight around my waist. He chuckles lowly, pressing his lips to my neck as a quick peck before turning the lamp off. "Get some good sleep, princess," he murmurs against my skin. "You too, my prince," I smile as he nuzzles into my neck. God, I missed this so much. I missed him so much.

I groan as I turn over, glancing at the clock to see it's ten am. The curtains did nothing to keep the sunlight out, so the entire room was blinding me. I rub my eyes with a yawn, then look around to notice Chase is no where to be found. Sitting up, I hear the shower running and relax, knowing that last night wasn't a dream and he didn't ditch me in the middle of the night. Honestly, he could've, I haven't slept that hard in a long time. I grab my phone off of the nightstand and unplug it as the thousands of Instagram notifications catch my attention. Scrolling through them, I find the main source of them all:
lilhuddy tagged you in a photo 5:01 AM
I smile to myself before tapping on the notification to reveal a picture of us cuddling. My smile doubles in size when I see the caption are lyrics from the song he wrote me and left on the flash drive for me to hear. After leaving a sarcastic comment, I close the app and lie back down on the bed, not letting myself read the rest of the comments.

The shower turns off and a few minutes later, Chase walks out in only a pair of black sweatpants. "Good morning, princess," he smiles sweetly at me. "Good morning, creep," I tease him. "Creep?" He stops in his tracks and raises an eyebrow at me. "Yeah, constantly taking pictures of me while I'm sleeping," I laugh. "Is this some fetish I don't know about?" "Oh, ha ha," he says sarcastically before sitting on the edge of the bed. "It's not like you'll let me take any while you're awake," he jokes. I stick my tongue out at him in response, earning a laugh.
