I suck in a quick breath. Did I really just ask him that?!

Sawyer bites his lip.

"What?" He reaches out to take my hands in his.

"I um- sorry."

"You want me to kiss you?" I blush, and look down.

"Yes."

"Okay." My eyes snap up at him. He takes my chin in his fingers and comes within centimeters of my face.

"Sawyer, you don't-" I'm cut off by his lips pressing into mine.

My eyes close tightly, and I hold onto his shoulders. I kiss him more deeply, and he grabs my waist. He pulls me against him.

Holy fuck-brownies.

I pull my face back, and his eyes snap open.

"Did I do something wrong? I'm sorry!" He looks down, and I chuckle.

"You didn't do anything wrong, in fact you do a whole lot right."he blushes, and lifts his head up again. He keeps his grip on my waist, and I kiss his cheeks.

"What would you like to do?" I ask him; wrapping my arms around his waist.

"Do we have to go out and do anything?" he asks, his hands resting on my hips.

"Not necessarily, we could just go downstairs and eat something for dinner. It is almost nine, so you may need to head home after we eat." Sawyer nods, and we walk downstairs to find something to eat.

Sawyer sits on top of the counter, and I look in the refrigerator. I grab the milk, and some butter; and then close the door.

"How does macaroni n' cheese sound?" I grab a few boxes of Kraft out of the pantry.

"Sounds great." I smile, and begin boiling the water.

I step away from the stove, and stand in between Sawyers knees. I wrap my arms around his waist, and he wraps his arms around me. I sigh into his chest, and he chuckles.

"Are you tired, babe?" I nod my head.

"I haven't been getting much sleep lately, I'm exhausted." Sawyer kisses the top of my head, and I smile.

"I'm sorry, do you have sleeping pills?" I shake my head. I pull away slightly, and take my ringing phone out of my pocket. My dad was calling me.

"One second, my dad is calling." I stay standing in front of him, and answer the call.

"Hey dad, what's up?" I smile when Sawyer puts his head on my shoulder.

"Hey; honey, I was just calling to say that I won't be home for a few days. My boss wants me to go settle a contract with a firm in Colorado." I frown, and close my eyes. Sawyer lifts his head up and starts placing lightly kisses all over my face. I giggle, and swat at him.

"Alright, stay safe. I will see you in a few days."

"Bye; Ambrosia, I love you. Tell Sawyer hello." I blush, and hold Sawyers hand.

"I will, love you too." I end the call and put my phone back in my pocket. Sawyer sits up, and looks down at me.

"Where is your dad going to be?"

"Colorado, he has to do something for his job." I start tracing circles on his hand with my thumb.

"Oh, alright. What does your dad do for a living, anyway?"

"He works at a law firm." he nods, and I lean against his chest.

"You alright, babe?" I nod my head.
