I keep asking myself, wondering how...
I keep closing my eyes, 
But I can't block you out...

Rory~

SUN rose the next morning early, not that JJ and I had done much catching up on sleep but I grumbled and snuggled closer to the warmth that soothed my body when the sun's rays entered my bedroom through the open window and glared at me harshly.

The chickens clucking, the seabirds calling, the cool morning wind flowing along with the sunlight, eventually made me give up my fight and open my eyes, sleep still swirling behind.

Nothing but a small smile crept up on my lips as I hummed happily when I noticed what the warmth was, that kept me blanketed and cocooned, providing such soothness. And there he was, sprawled on his back, sleeping soundly and peacefully with his lips slightly parted in an adorable manner, hair all messy and tousled and sticking up in different directions as his arms stayed wrapped around my body, securely.

I realized I was laying fully on his shirtless upper body, head resting on his chest, the rhythmic beat of his heart having lulled me to peaceful sleep last night. Our legs tangled and limbs wrapped around each other. The sheets barely covering us as I only had my black underwear on, with his oversized shirt that he'd found in my closet and cocooned me with, while he had his sleeping shorts on.

"G'morning, gorgeous," JJ hummed as he stirred back to life, while I didn't even realize that I was running my hand through his hair softly, staring at his beautiful face this entire time. His voice deep and raspy that made butterflies flutter deep in my belly.

He opens his striking light blue ocean eyes in the next second, making them connect with mine as my breath gets caught at how gorgeous they look. "Well, this a beautiful sight to wake up to," he added as he smiled at me.

"Hii, lover boy," I smiled at him with same lightweight, pure and innocent look as my heart skips a beat at the sight of his dimples. 

"You sleep good?" He asks as he turns sideways, making me fall off of him and on my side on the bed, still staying snuggled up to his body arms and legs entangled.

"We didn't do much sleeping, J," I reminded him, giggling slightly as my index finger traced his jaw. Heat rising to my face as flashes of moments from last night start to play like a movie in the back of my head.

"We sure didn't," he smirks at me, chuckling, making me blush harder. JJ's hand slipping under my--his shirt--that I was wearing, drawing circles with his thumb on my waist. "You feeling good?" he adds.

"Never been better," I replied, sighing contently. "You?" 

"I'm doing fantastic, baby...I woke up next to the most beautiful girl I've ever set my eyes on," He replied, shrugging softly. "What more could I want?" He adds, winking at me.
