(Mia's POV)
I woke up at 3am for no reason and I couldn't get back to sleep. I tossed and turned a hundred times trying to get settled but I just couldn't. I decide to try and go downstairs for some water so I get out of bed slowly and go down the kitchen, using my phone light as a torch, and fill up a glass of water. I take it back upstairs and place it on my nightstand, taking a couple of sips before trying to settle back down into bed again.
I still can't seem to settle at all so I just give up and grab my phone to text Char. "Hi sweetheart xx," I message. An instant smile appears on my face as I see she's typing. "Hey xx. What are you doing up? Xx" she says.
"Can't sleep. And I miss you xxx."
"I miss you too beautiful xx. To be honest the house I kind of lonely, how about I pop round and we just chill for a bit. Maybe watch Bridgeton? Xx."
"Charlotte it's 3am my love, get some sleep for me gorgeous xxx."
"No I want to see you, putting shoes on now. Xx"
I sigh with a huge smile on my face as I put my phone down and lie waiting for her arrival. Within a few minutes, I hear the keys turn the door and her footsteps approach my bedroom. "Hey," she whispers as she opens the door. She's still wearing her pyjama bottoms with my hoodie thrown over the top, her hair all cute and messy.
"Hello sweetheart," I whisper. "Is that my jumper you're wearing there?" "Probably," she says sniffing the sleeves. "Keep it, it looks cuter on you," I say smiling. "At this point I have half of your wardrobe," she says climbing into my bed and cuddling up next to me. "That's what girlfriends are for," I say kissing her softly. "Anyway why did you come? it's late and you need sleep." My bed is too cold," she groans. "And the house is scary on my own and I just wanted to see you." "About that sweetheart," I say letting go of her and sitting myself up. "I was thinking maybe in the near future we should invest in a place? I can pay off all the expenses and it means you won't need to be in the house alone."
"You mean.. live together?" She asks, her tired eyes light up. "Yeah," I say smiling. "But in the mean time I want you to have this." I reach over to my chest of draws on my bedside table and take out a small nightlight. It was in the shape of a moon that lights up, with a glass dome around it. I switch it on and place it delicately into Char's palms. "This is the nightlight I used to have as a child. It used to comfort me when I had to spend long, scary nights by myself. So I want you to have it for when I'm not around, so you know I'm always here." "Thank you," she whispers before kissing me quick. She puts it on her side of the bed carefully. "I have the best girlfriend in the world." "No you don't," I laugh, wrapping my arms around her sideways. "Because I have the best girlfriend in the world." I attack her cheek with several short kisses. She smiles and giggles softly as I chase her with cheek and forehead kisses.
"Right sweetheart ready for bed?" I yawn as I let go of her. "If you love me, you'll let me watch Bridgeton before bed," she says with pleading eyes. "Alright," I sigh, knowing I will forever cave in to those adorable puppy eyes. "Let me go and put Bridgeton on for you."
I grab my laptop and set it up at the end of the bed. As soon as I click play, I cuddle up back next to her, her head resting on my chest. She turns her head around to give me a quick kiss as the opening music ends. I lie there playing her hair and occasionally kissing the top of her head as she stays fully engrossed in the show. She turns towards me slowly, catching me smiling at her like an idiot while I play with her hair and stroke her face gently. "Are you even watching this?" She asks. "A little," I admit. "But I was mainly admiring you gorgeous." "I'll let you off because that's actually really cute," she smiles.
I kiss her forehead gently before she turns around to continue watching the episode. "What time is it?" She whispers as the closing credits appear on screen. I lean over and pause the laptop and look at the time. "4am sweetheart," I say. "So basically the morning then," she whispers. "Basically," I say. "But you still need your sleep sweetheart, come here and snuggle." I lie back down on the bed and pat the empty space next to me. "But I'm not tired," she groans.
"Sweetheart don't you have work tomorrow?" I ask, stroking her arm gently. "Nope," she grins. "So I can stay up as long as I like." She lays down next to me and I wrap both my arms around her stomach. "Did I ever tell you that funny story about Reecey and I on virgin cruises?" I whisper. "No," she whispers. "Well Reecey took me on a holiday on Virgin cruises," I start. "Poor Reecey had food poisoning and had terrible diarrhoea and he went out to the balcony for fresh air. Silly me didn't know he was out there so I locked it, leaving him out there without a toilet. So... he had to make do."
Char shoulders start moving up and down as she laughs hysterically. I start giggling softly too at the sound of her contagious laughter and the feeling over her belly rising in my arms. "That is hilarious," she laughs breathlessly.
I place a soft kiss on her forehead and close my eyes again in a last attempt to get some rest. "Mia," she whispers loudly after what feels like two minutes. She kneels over me and opens one of my eyelids. "I miss you." "Char I'm trying to sleep," I groan. "Mia you've been asleep for an hour and a half already," she says. I sit up slowly and rub my eyes before turning to look at the clock: 5:35am.
She leans in and kisses my neck softly, several times over. "I'm sorry I just missed your gorgeous face." I notice her eyes looking down at my lips and back up at my eyes. "Char if you want me to kiss you come here," I say grabbing her waist and pulling her towards me. She shuffles herself into my lap, smiling from ear to ear, before I connect our lips and kiss her slowly. My hand runs down her waist and her upper back as we continue kissing, her hands running through my hair. Our tongues intertwined as I let my hands wander her upper body. "You're beautiful," I whisper in between kisses. "May I?" She whispers, her hand holding the bottom of my t-shirt. "You may," I wink.
She pulls my t-shirt over my head slowly as we continue to kiss. She rests one hand on my neck and the other cups my boob as she squeezes it gently and massages both of them in circular motions. I slide my mouth away from hers and move it down to her neck and start kissing it all over as she continues to touch my chest area. I apply more pressure to her neck gradually, leaving a few purple marks behind.
I go back up to her lips as I take my hoodie off her along with her t-shirt. I move the kisses down her neck and to her chest, applying pressure around her nipple as she circles my chest and down my waist with her thumbs. "Can you umm.." Char whispers shyly. "Yes sweetheart?" I whisper, releasing my mouth from her chest and looking up at her. She looks at me silently, her eyes looking at my hands and then wandering to the crotch of her pyjama bottoms. "Do you want me to..?" I ask, thinking I've clocked on to what she wanted me to do. "Yes please," she whispers smiling.
"Where do you want me to touch you?" I ask. "Go on sweetheart, you can show me." Char holds my wrist hastily and guides my hand slowly down her pyjama bottoms and through her underwear. She slides her own hand out letting me take the lead. I glide my fingers through her folds gently, hearing her sigh deeply. I add a third finger and curl them as they reach her brim, making her start to moan softly. I gently circle her clit with my thumb, getting rougher gradually as she breaths heavily in pleasure. "Amelia," she whispers.
Her groans get louder as I continue to curl my fingers inside of her, maintaining the same pressure, before she groans even louder as I feel her cum. I let her ride it out, as she closes her eyes and breathes heavily, before sliding my fingers out slowly and wiping them on her inner thigh. I lift her chin and kiss her softly, running my hand down her lower back. "We'd better get some sleep," I whisper as we release. "Probably," she whispers with a small yawn. "Can we watch one more episode though?"
"Alright then sweetheart," I say before setting the laptop back up at the end of the bed and pressing play on the next episode. I move back up to the end of the bed and cuddle up next to Char, both my arms wrapped around her stomach. I give her a kiss on the forehead and lie still, watching the show. 20 minutes in, I notice Char had fallen asleep peacefully in my arms. I smile at the sight of my girlfriend wrapped in my arms completely asleep, a small smile on the end of her lips, before reaching over to pause the show. I plant one more kiss on the top of her head before closing my own eyes and falling asleep myself.
