Ivä woke up feeling stong arms holding her down. She smiled to herself and remembered last night. She looked up to see his peaceful figure sleeping.

She felt like a creep for staring but she couldn't help it. He was to damn fine.

Ivä laid there for a while, enjoying being in the arms of Neteyam. Then he started to wake up.

His grip started to loosen up as he rubbed his hands on her back and waist.

"Good morning!" Ivä said resting her head on his chest.
"Good morning!" Neteyam said kissing the top of her head.

"Come on! We have to go get started with our day. You have training today." Ivä said getting up.
"Baby, nooooo." Neteyam said pulling her waist back down. His eyes were still close as he was trying to go back to sleep.

Ivä was a morning person. As you can see, Neteyam was not.

"Baby?" Ivä asked.
It's not that she didn't like it. She did. But she didn't think they would have nicknames on day one.

"Yeah, baby. I like it so it's your new name." Neteyam said smiling to Ivä.
"Ok.." Ivä smiled back.

"5 more minutes.." Neteyam said hugging Ivä's body and closing his eyes.
"Fine." Ivä said laying her head back on his chest.

You gotta love him.


15 minutes later, Neteyam finally got up.

"Five minutes my ass." Ivä said as her and Neteyam were walking out of the cave.

"What? I was very comfortable laying with you."
Neteyam said with a pout.

"Yeah well we have things to do." Ivä said shaking her head.

"Oh ok, so you'd rather me lay with Amira?" Neteyam said proving his point.

"No." Ivä said rolling her eyes.

"Ok then. Be happy I'm spending time with my amazing girlfriend." Neteyam said rolling his eyes back.

"Yeah yeah whatever." Ivä said nudging his arm.

"I love you." Ivä said looking up to Neteyam. She eyes got lost in his gorgeous honey colored eyes.

"I love you too, baby." Neteyam said stopping pulling her waist in a kissing her.


The couple made it to the beach after going home quickly to check in with their parents on how their nights went.

Neteyam walked in his Mauri and was greeted by his mother.

"Neteyam! Ma Eywa! You didn't come home I was worried sick!" Neytiri said checking his body to see if he was hurt.

" I'm fine mom. Ivä and I fell asleep. But, on the other hand, I asked her to be my girlfriend, she said yes." Neteyam said smiling. He felt proud of himself.

"Oh Neteyam! I'm so happy for you! You have to let me meet her:" Neytiri said excitedly.

"I will." Neteyam said smiling at his mom. He was glad she was happy for him and Ivä. He knew ivä and her were going to get along just fine.


Ivä walked into her Mauri and saw her mother and Tsireya talking.

"Ivä! I almost sent out a search party for you! Where were you?" Ronal asked getting up to check on her daughter.

"Sorry mother, I was with Neteyam. It was getting late and we got tired and we fell asleep."

"Oh, we'll tell me next time." Ronal said calming down.

"So! How'd it go?" Tsireya said jumping up and running over to Ivä.
"It went amazing! He is now my boyfriend!" Ivä said excitedly.

The girls started jumping up and down squealing.
Ronal couldn't help but smile at her daughters bonding. She also was happy for Ivä. No, it probably wasn't who she wanted it to be, but if Ivä was happy, so was she. But hey, how bad can Neteyam be?


The couple met back up on the beach and started walking to the now formed group on the beach.

They held hands as they approached the group.

"Hey guys." Ivä said as they all turned their heads to look at the couple. They noticed they were holding hands and it all clicked for them.

"No way!!!" Lo'ak said as his jaw dropped.

" congratulations! I was waiting for this to happen!" Kiri said eyeing Neteyam, who just looked around acting like he didn't see her.

"I am happy for you my sister," Anoung said standing up.
"But if you hurt her," Anoung said pointing at Neteyam.
"I will hurt you." Anoung said warming Neteyam.

"Got it." Neteyam said smirking.

"I'm going to have a sister in law!" Tuk yelled and jumped into Ivä's arms.

Ivä just looked at Neteyam to see him laughing under his breath.

"Uh- sure Tuk!" Ivä felt flustered that Tuk thought they were mated.

I mean yeah. That's what Ivä wants. She hopes Neteyam does too.

Authors note: short chapter... sorry. I've been busy with school work and softball. I'm trying to do every night but I may have to start doing every other night. Thank y'all for being patient with me. I hope you're enjoying the book!
