She laughed at the joke before turning to smile at me. My face lit up as her eyes met mine. She giggled before turning back to the TV and surprising me by turning it off. I looked at her confused but she just smiled and started moving. She lay on her front, copying my position but didn't want a pillow. She folded her arms under her head as she smiled at me. I smiled brightly wanting nothing more than to stay here forever.

"Why'd you turn it off?" I asked but she chuckled.

"You've been watching me for 10 minutes straight, I can watch the movie another time," She shrugged, my cheeks reddened knowing she knew I was admiring her but she didn't stop me. I covered her mouth as she yawned. She smiled and her eyes looked heavy like she was ready for bed. I wonder if she wants me to leave so she can go to sleep. I sighed softly, a sad smile forming on my lips as I considered offering to leave. "Tell me a story," She requested and yawn once again escaping her lips. I smiled realising she didn't want me to leave.

"What do you want to hear?" I asked but she smiled softly.

"I just want to hear your voice," She shrugged. I blushed slightly, she likes the sound of my voice.

"Well-" I started telling her a random story. It was an adventure Sam and I had been on years ago. I watched as she smiled and chuckled at the story, I couldn't stop smiling as she seemed to blink a little longer each time. She was fighting so hard to stay awake. "Do you want me to go?" I asked in a whisper as her eyes remained closed. She shook her head and groaned unhappily. I chuckled softly. "But you're falling asleep," I whispered. She moaned unhappy. "I have to go home," her eyebrows furrowed angrily. "Nooo," She complained before scooching closer to me. I moved to my side as she seemed to nuzzle into me. She hummed happily, a smile on her face as she cuddled into me. I smiled brightly as I cuddled into her, relaxing as I held her. I felt her breath slowing, she was falling asleep again. I couldn't stop smiling as I watched her. I feel like I might as well just stay here tonight, she clearly doesn't want me to leave, and I don't want to leave. I got comfortable, moving her a little so I could move the pillow under my head, she snuggled into me, resting her head on my arm. She made herself small so she could be engulfed by me. I wasn't sure where to put my other hand so rested it on my hip. She opened her eyes slightly, looking confused. I panicked thinking she was going to kick me out and not realise this happened naturally. She lifted her head before smiling and grabbing my wrist, draping it over her side so I was fully hugging her. She leaned up and kissed my cheek.

"Goodnight," She hummed, snuggling back in again. I blushed as I smirked. I wanted to squeal I was so giddy, I took a deep breath to compose myself. I looked down at her with a smile. I leaned down to kiss the top of her head. "Goodnight beautiful," I whispered. She smiled faintly for a second. I listened to her breathing as I started feeling tired. I don't know how long I lay beside her, cuddling her, thinking about her. I started falling asleep, I'm the happiest I've ever felt. DANNI'S POV:

My eyes fluttered open as I squinted in the light shining through the window. I smiled as I admired Colby while he slept. He looked so peaceful and happy. I slipped under his arm so I was no longer in his grasp. I tiptoed to the bathroom. I brushed my hair and teeth, getting ready for the day. I walked back into my room, Colby was still asleep so I smiled as I grabbed my phone and checked the time. I have a meeting today but it's not for a little while. I headed to my drawers, quietly pulling them open to grab some clothes to wear. I grabbed my yellow summer dress and fresh underwear. I glanced back at Colby seeing he was still asleep so stripped off and got changed. I kept an eye on Colby to see if he was just pretending to be asleep so he could watch me change. I slipped into my dress and smiled seeing Colby hadn't moved. He really was asleep. I did some quick and easy make-up, leaving my hair down and with its natural waves. I decided to put his phone on charge for him and climbed back into bed. I smiled as Colby stirred from the movement. He opened his eyes a little and smiled at me before pulling me back in to cuddle him. I giggled as I accepted my fate and went back to cuddling. I struggled to stay awake as Colby cuddling me felt safer than I have my whole life. No wonder I fell asleep so easily last night. I smiled remembering all the cute moments from yesterday. I sighed, knowing I would have to leave the bed to go to my meeting.

"Colby," I whispered. His eyes fluttered open, puffy from sleeping. He smiled faintly.

"Good morning," His voice was deep and rough. I instantly felt butterflies low in my stomach. I smiled.

"Morning," I chuckled. He smiled a little brighter, pulling me in even more so I was fully pressed against him. I giggled at the adorableness. "I wish I could cuddle all day," I started. Colby's smile spread across his face at the thought.
"But I have to go," I sighed. He instantly looked grumpy as he looked at me disappointed. "I know, I'll leave you in bed," I explained as I leaned up and kissed his cheek. I moved to sit up but he tightened his grip on me making me giggle. "I have to go," I tried but Colby smiled, eyes closed as he kept a hold of me. "I'll bring you back a milkshake," I tried to tempt him but he shook his head. "What will it take to let me leave?" I asked, he didn't react. I thought he might be falling asleep so tried to move again but his grip remained strong. I giggled as I shook my head admitting defeat. I really have to go. "How about, you stay in bed, I'll go to my meeting, try and be quick and come back to bed once I'm done?" I asked. I studied his face waiting for his answer. He smiled brightly and opened his eyes to look at me. He kissed my forehead before letting me go. I chuckled as I got up and climbed out of bed. I made my way around the room, putting my shoes on and grabbing my phone. "I'll see you soon handsome," I cheered leaning forward to kiss his cheek before heading to the door.

"Have fun, beautiful," He sang as he rolled onto his back to smile at me one last time before I left. I smiled brightly before biting my lip and heading out.
