I lay awake staring at the ceiling. This had been a regular occurrence for me the past couple nights. While my girlfriend Emma, can sleep like a baby.

"Can't sleep?" The voice makes me jump a bit. I only nod my head. Not looking away from the ceiling. "What's on your mind?"

"Nothing, absolutely nothing," I say and hear her yawn from beside me. "You should get some sleep Em," I say softly.

"You need sleep too." She deflects. I sigh, my eyes finally leaving the ceiling to look at her. "Would you like a cuppa tea?" She asks groggily.

I chuckle lightly. "No, thank you, baby. Just go back to sleep." I place a delicate kiss on her forehead, watching as she smiles sleepily. "I love you," I whisper.

"I love you, more." She counters as she curls into my side. I hear her breathing even out again knowing she fell back asleep.

I continue staring at the ceiling for a couple of minutes before getting up and going downstairs. Maya our dog groggily looks around but when she sees who it is she wags her tail aggressively, I walk over to her and rub her head.

I walk into the kitchen and start to make some tea. I grabbed two cups waiting for the water to boil. Once it's done I put in the tea packets.

Clearing my throat to say, "I know you're awake." I hear a sigh and turn to see Emma in one of my oversized shirts with no bottoms.

"Well, I sleep much better with my cuddle bug." She hints at me as I hand her a cup of tea. "Thank you."

I nod giving a little smile. We sip on our drinks in comfortable silence. I admire her beauty.

Her brown hair, her defined cheekbones. Her plump lips. The little freckles on her face. Or the dimple on her cheek.

"What?" She whispers as she turns a bit red under my gaze. "Why're you staring?"

"You're just beautiful." I shrug, and she smiles walking over to me and pecking my lips. "I'm sorry I woke you."

She shakes her head. "It's fine love, besides I would rather keep you company."

I grin leaning down to connect our lips again. How did I get so lucky? I nibble on her bottom lip and smirk when I hear her whimper. I place my hands on her hips.

"Is there a reason you couldn't sleep?" She questions, I shrug again. "Has this been happening often?"

I look away from her eyes, nodding slowly. "How long?"

Sighing I mutter, "This is the fourth night." Her eyes widen a bit.

"So that's why you looked like shit yesterday." She exclaims as I scoff. She hits my arm. "You arse! I asked if you slept well yesterday and you said you did."

"Well, I didn't want to worry you," I tell her and her eyes harden. "You've been busy with all projects, you don't need to add to the stress looking after me."

Her gaze softens. "Y/N, you should know that you are more important to me than any movie or project I have." Her tone is slightly scolding.

"I guess," I mumble and she frowns cupping my face in her hands.

She knows how I feel about this growing up I was never really prioritized by my parents. As they were always busy with their work. And it still affects me to this day.

"You are the most important thing in my life." She presses a kiss to my lips. "I love you."

"I love you, too," I mumble against her lips. I look over at the clock and see it's almost three in the morning. "We should get back to bed," I say and she glances at the clock.

Yawning she says, "Yeah we should."

"I'll meet you up there, I'm just gonna clean really quick," I tell her and she nods kissing me softly. Before walking out of the room and going upstairs.

I sigh and rub my hands over my face, I take in a quick breath. Before making my way to the sink.

I clean our cups, making sure everything is clean before walking out of the kitchen I give Maya some love before walking upstairs to our room.

I see her on her phone obviously waiting for me. When she sees me she places her phone on the nightstand beside the bed.

I give her a lopsided grin. She opens her arms and I happily walk into her embrace.

She pulls the duvet over us, wrapping her arms around me. I bury my head into her neck. Breathing in her scent and instantly relax.

I press a kiss to her neck, as one of her hands plays in my hair. I feel myself getting sleepy.

"Goodnight Em," I mutter sleepily. "I love you."

"Goodnight baby." She responds, slightly tightening her hold on me. "I love you too."

I relish in her touch, allowing it to lull me into a slumber.
