I'm drunk in the back of the car..
And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (oh)
Said, "I'm fine, " but it wasn't true...
I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you.
And I snuck in through the garden gate...
Every night that summer just to seal my fate (oh)
And I screamed for whatever it's worth..
"I love you, " ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?
He looks up grinning like a devil!

I laughed, pushing his face away from mine, while JJ peppered kisses all over my cheeks. 

"Let me draw up some stars on you," He said, grabbing my pencil eyeliner from the desk and holding my face with his one hand.

"What? Alright,"I giggled and let him have his fun as he drew on my cheekbones, trailing lines of his drawing under my eyes and on the bridge of my nose as well.

It was early morning the next day, JJ and I in my bed, as we cuddled and then teased each other. Having a small pillow fight which I won but now, there were feathers all around in my room as the pillows had torn, which made me laugh uncontrollably. Then JJ decided that he wanted to make me to laugh even more as he tickled my sides and then started peppering kisses all over my face.

"There you go...your small freckles are popping out with the stars well, princess," JJ said as he puts down the eyeliner. 

"What'd you draw, hot stuff?" I asked, my smile not faltering from how wide it was. 

There was light relief in my chest. I felt warm and giddy and happy. I was so delighted when John B accepted us, and that left me smiling even as we went to bed last night.

Carter crashing on the pull out, John B and Sarah in John B's room and JJ and I in mine. Even though John B playfully threatened us to keep the door open, when I shut it right on his face to cut him off. I heard him grumble on the other side as I giggled and went to sleep peacefully in JJ's arms.

"Just some stars, a heart...and few more freckles," He shrugged, cheekily grinning at me as I stood up from his lap--yeah I was sat straddling him-- as I check out myself in the mirror.  I see the stars and the heart drawn on my face and smile widely. I had the messiest bed hair, all my hair up in a messy crocked bun on top of my hair.

"Some artist you are, huh, baby?" I sent a smile to my boyfriend as he flushed and smiled back at me, his dimples popping in and making my heart swoon. "You want some cherries? Sarah brought some yesterday...we can have breakfast in bed," I said.

"I'm all for it!" He replied as we both went out of my room and into the kitchen, the house still silent. 

Carter was still sleeping peacefully on the pull out and the door to John B's room was also closed. We both tiptoed into the kitchen and got cherries for ourselves in a bowl, I grabbed the milk carton that hadn't gone bad yet and was fresh as well, pouring into two mugs, pouring chocolate syrup in it and making cold cocoa as I added some cocoa powder.
