"Lie to me," he whispered. His face was so close and I couldn't breathe.
"Lie to me and tell me you don't want me as much as I want you. Lie to me and tell me you don't want to press those pretty lips of yours to mine right now. Lie to me and tell m...

I awoke to a chaste kiss on my shoulder. Then my neck, then right below my ear.
I let out a muffled groan and turned over to face Rowen. "Hi," I said stupidly.
"Hi," he said back, a smile lighting his pretty face.
Pretty? I asked myself.
I honestly couldn't even process what had just occurred. It all happened in a confused blur: Rowen coming over last night, admitting that he couldn't sleep - because he was thinking of me. Him telling me that he was sorry, and that all my scars were beautiful. Him then eating-
Let's stop there.
He lifted a hand and brushed away a stray strand of hair behind my ear. "What are you thinking about?" he mumbled.
"You."
His grin only grew wider.
"Did you sleep okay?" I asked, still not entirely comfortable with the fact that we were acting like we were in love.
"Perfectly. Lots of dreams,"
"Of?" I prompted.
"You should know by now that all my dreams are of you, love."
My heart did a little flip. "Yeah?"
"Always."
This felt too intimate.
"Do we have to be in for filming today?" I said in attempt to change the subject.
He frowned a little when he noticed my intentions. "Uhh, yeah. Not until the afternoon though."
I turned in the bed so that I was laying in my back and my eyes were facing the ceiling. "Good."
"Do you want to do something fun before we have to go film?"
I turned to him, a small smile on my face. "Sure. What do you have in mind?"
He shrugged. "Maybe some beach shopping, or we could just go out to eat some lunch. I know a good place."
I nodded. "That sounds good. What time is it?"
I watched as he turned towards the clock on his nightstand, his eyes widening. "10:59am. Already?"
I stretched my arms and yawned. "What, do you wake up at 6am every morning to go run?" I rolled my eyes.
Then, Rowen was suddenly on top of me. "Remember what I said about those pretty eyes, love?"
Swallowing, I continued to stare at him. "Yeah," I breathed.
He kissed my lips, and my head spun. "How about you go get ready, and we can drop my house so I can change, and then we can go out for brunch?"
