MY EYES FLUTTERED OPEN as I felt something soft and warm pressed against my face. I groggily opened my eyes and smiled when I met the face of a smiling Nick.

"Morning baby. I was trying to wake you up with kisses but you were out" he smiled. I sleepily smiled back and closed my eyes again. I heard Nick chuckle and next thing I knew I felt him softly kissing me. I started kissing him back and I could feel him smiling into the kiss.

"Nicky! I've made pancakes for breakfast so you better move or-"

Our kiss broke apart as Grandma Liz threw open the door and stood there stunned, staring at the both of us.

"Thanks Grandma, we'll be down in a sec" He chuckled at his Grandmas stunned face.

"Oh no you don't boy. You can't just shoo me off without an explanation" She pointed at him.

"What else is there to say? Me and Elle are together now" He smiled. Liz squealed as if she was a teenage girl again and clapped her hands in excitement.

"Aww I was waiting for this to happen. Nick has been googly eyes over you ever since he first met you. You know he came home to me the night of the wedding, talking so fast I couldn't understand a word coming out of his mouth"

"Grandma!" Nick complained.

"It doesn't matter Nicky. Also I expect 5 great-grandchildren" She smiled pointing at us.

"Alright! That's enough, Grandma. We'll be down soon" Nick yelled, wide eyed. She eventually exited the room and shut the door. Nick groaned and put his face into my hair which I'm sure looked a mess. I giggled at his behaviour and pulled his head up to look at me.

I really wanted a kiss from him again but I was scared to be the one to kiss him first, so I pouted, staring at his lips.

"You want a kiss baby?" He asked, seeing my signs. I nodded eagerly. "You don't ever have to ask for a kiss, okay? My lips are yours to kiss"

And he did kiss me.

I inhaled the blueberry pancakes Liz made and Nick laughed as I did so.

"Don't laugh at me. I'm hungry" I pouted.

"I know. I'm sorry baby" He apologised, kissing the side of my head. I couldn't get enough of his kisses. They made me feel safe and loved. They made me feel warm.
