"But I'm so comfortable," I whisper putting all of my weight onto his body. Chip laughs as his hands rub my back. My arms and legs are wrapped around him koala bear style, "There's no reason to get out of bed," I point out to him.

"It's almost 2 in the afternoon. We have things to do," he says kissing the top of my head. I groan nuzzling my head into his sweatshirt, the hoodie is leaning on the side where I am.

"Like what? Arthur and Kelsey are gone for the day. We have a house to ourselves and months to catch up on," I point out to him. He laughs as I blow a raspberry onto his neck, before pushing me away.

"You're a little nerd," he says as I fall beside him staring at the ceiling, "But I love that about you," he says as I roll my eyes.

"I don't want to be one of those sappy couples," I tell him rolling to lay on my stomach. I rest my hands on his chest as his arm wraps around me, "nobody wants to watch the honeymoon phase of a couple," I tell him as he raises an eyebrow at me.

"Fine. No more cheesy romantic shit for the rest of our lives," he says pretending to lock his lips and throw away the key. I nod my head and smile as he leans down pressing his lips to mine, "I guess no more cute dinner dates," he mumbles moving his hand to my cheek, "And late-night movie nights," he whispers. A guttural sound leaves my mouth as his lips move against mine.

"Okay fine. A little cheese never hurt," I tell him. He smiles before standing up from the bed to get changed, "we deserve a day in bed," I tell him not wanting the bed to get cold.

"As much as I'd love to stay. I have a video shoot with Freezy," he says making me remember his podcast. I kneel on the edge of the bed as he changes his pants, "I'm nervous about today. I'm hoping he doesn't mention us," he says making me flinch without realizing.

"Do you want to keep us a secret?" I ask sitting down on the back of my legs. I have my hands in my lap as he finishes getting ready.

He slips on his shoes and turns back around, "Not a secret. I just don't want us to be this big thing with the fans," he says moving closer. He lifts his arms, his hands embracing my cheeks, "You are my favorite person. There's no way in hell I'll be able to keep my mouth shut about being able to call you mine," he says making me swoon. He leans down planting a passionate kiss on my lips.

"Have I told you I kind of like you," I smile as he pulls away.

"Maybe once or twice," he grins.

I follow him out into the living room and see the remnants of the dinner we had last night. I'm kind of sad we finished the cupcakes we made a couple of nights ago. Arthur is still mad we couldn't tell what he made, "I should head out now," he says grabbing his keys and phone. I watch as he shoves them into his hoodie pocket.

"Have fun. Tell Freezy I said hi," I tell him as I wrap my arms around his shoulders.

"Thanks," he says as he pulls away. I hate when he leaves and I wish he had a better ass so I could say, 'I hate to see you leave but I love watching you walk away'. When I shut the door behind him I turn back to the apartment and dread what's to come. I grab my speaker and put it on top of the fridge. My favorite music at the moment starts streaming through as I start cleaning up. The dishes are piled high, dirty pots are sitting on the stove, and there are tracks on the floor from shoes by the door. This place is a mess cause we have been so busy.

These are kind of my favorite days. Cleaning when no one tells you to is peak. It only takes about three hours to clean the entire flat. It's a satisfying feeling to be able to come home after work and see it all clean. Hopefully, Kelsey will appreciate it. She probably would have had me flip a coin to see who cleans it anyway. It's nice Arthur is always here but he could at least take out the trash every once in a while.

When I check my phone again I see a Snapchat from Freezy. I know we both have a mutual best friend but we don't really talk that much. When I open the app I see the purple square showing it's a video. Upon clicking on it I can see he's hiding the phone from Chip as he talks, "Nah I kind of love her. Not like love love but ya know. I loved her as a friend that's not just gonna go away now that I'm with her," he rambles as someone is talking in the background, "Who's punching though? He asks making me laugh.

The video ends and I type back that he's punching getting a laughing emoji in response. I get what he means about the whole "I love you" thing. It's terrifying. Like I know I'm in love with him. I've never felt this way before. It's like I can fall backward and know he will catch me, unless you're drunk at a karaoke bar in 2017. I'm excited for this podcast to come out. Hopefully, he says all good things and less about the drama of it all.
