Natalia's POV

For a while we just sit and hold hands. With Thomas staring at me.

"Did you call me a tease?"

"Yes."

I look at him. "Thomas do you have a-"

"Yes." He grumbles before I can finish.

I giggle. "It's fine. I guess you really do like me."

"Oh shut up. It's embarrassing."

"Don't worry. It's not a big deal."

His ears turn red. "O-okay."

I laugh. "I'm going to bed. Goodnight."

"Goodnight." He pecks my cheek.

I go up the stairs two at a time to my room. I change into pajamas and lay down with a book. He won't interrupt my reading in my own bed.

After a while I hear footsteps. I quickly put my glasses on my nightstand, turn off my light, and mark my spot. I curl up just before my door opens.

Thomas walks in and sits on the foot of my bed.

"You're so beautiful, Natalia." I stir and sit up. He smiles. "I thought you would be awake."

"I am."

"So you heard me?"

"Uh-huh."

"Good. Because it's true. You're beautiful, and different- in a good way- and smart. I'm glad you're mine."

I smile. Then frown. "Mine, mine, Mom! $#!+, I gotta call her!"

He laughs. I pick my phone up. "Hi Mom."

"Hi sweetie."

"You watched the interview right?"

"Yes."

"So you know?"

"Absolutely! I'm so happy for you! I ship it!"

"Thanks Mom." She is SO irritating sometimes.

Thomas laughs.

"You heard what she said?"

"Yup. I ship it!"

"Quit it or I'll tease you."

"Two types of tease."

"The mean, bullying kind."

"About what?"

"What you had after we kissed." I smirk and his ears turn red.

"Please don't!"

"Be nice to me."

"Okay."

"C'mere." He lies next to me on top of the blankets and I snuggle up next to him. "Thank you."

"For what?"

"Everything."

He smiles and kisses me. "My pleasure." I fall asleep with a smile.

When I wake up, Thomas is laying next to me, sawing logs. I carefully get up and grab a Sharpie.

I draw a mustache on Thomas.

I should have used a washable marker.

I get back in bed next to Thomas and pretend to be asleep. After a minute, he wakes up and kisses my forehead. I smile.

Thomas' POV

Natalia's smile makes me smile. I leave her to sleep in. I go in and wash my face in her bathroom. I look in the mirror.

"NATALIA!!!"

"Where's the fire?!"

"Did you do this?!"

She smirks. "Yeah."

I huff and cross my arms. "I'll go make breakfast."

"Okay."

I go down the stairs to the kitchen. I get out the eggs and bread.

"$#!+" I drop an egg and rush to Natalia's room.

"What is it?!"

"I-I... it's embarrassing."

"It's okay, you can tell me." I put my hand on her shoulder and we sit on her bed.

"I.... I ran out of my ADHD medicine."

"Oh, do you need it refilled?"

"It's not mandatory or anything. It just helps me sit still."

"On a scale of one to ten, how bad are your... wiggles?"

"Ten. It's embarrassing. I'll just have to have something with me to keep my hands busy. Do you have a hankie or something?"

"Yeah. But I better clean up that egg I dropped in the kitchen." She laughs and it makes me smile. I'm lucky to have the perfect girl be mine.

"No, I'll clean it up, you go get me a CLEAN hankie." She rushes downstairs and I go to my room. I open the top drawer of my dresser and pull out a handkerchief.

I hop down the stairs and Natalia is already done.

"Here."

"Thanks."

"So, how does this help?"

"I tie and untie to keep my hands busy."

"Clever."

"Thanks."

"Come here."

She steps closer and I peck her forehead. "How tall are you Natalia?"

"Six foot four inches."

"That's why I had to go on my toes." She bends down and kisses me.

"It's okay shortie." She smirks.

I stick out my tongue. "I'm gonna sit on the couch. I'm not hungry any more." I sit down and she follows me, tying the handkerchief in knots.

I take it from her and kiss her. She hits me.

"Get off! I want the hankie back!"

I laugh. "Fine. One more kiss?"

She scrunches up her face in anger. "Fine." She kisses me.

But it's not a peck.

I kiss her back and smile. She's mine. She bites my lip and I pull
back.

I make a face. "Meanie."

She laughs. "Give me the hankie or I'm gonna look crazy while playing with my hands.... That came out wrong."

We laugh together.
