(Mia's POV)
As I held her in my arms I took in her scent and tried to follow her breathing patterns.
"Mia?" She spoke softly.
"Yes, sweetheart?" I reply.
"I can't sleep, could you... no, nevermind, sorry" She says.
"What is it sweetheart?" I question.
"It's silly" She says.
"I promise you, it's not, what's up?" I reassured her.
"Could you, sing to me?" She asked.
"Of course I can, sweetheart, what would you like me to sing?" I reply.
"I don't mind" She says.
"Okay, I have the perfect idea" I say, moving to lie on my back. "Come here, darling"
I gesture for her to lay her head on my chest, she moves hesitantly over to me and wraps her arms around my body before resting her head.
"Oh, won't you kiss me on the mouth and love me like a sailor? And when you get a taste, can you tell me, what's my flavor? I don't believe in God, but I believe that you're my savior." I started to sing.
I feel her start to relax into my arms and get heavier as she drifts off.
"My mom says that she's worried, but I'm covered in this favor. And when we're getting dirty, I forget all that is wrong. I sleep so I can see you 'cause I hate to wait so long. I sleep so I can see you, and I hate to wait so long" I finish the chorus as she finally falls asleep.
I laid there for a few minutes just taking in her presence before drifting off myself. We slept together peacefully that night and everything felt so comforting.
I felt safe.

The next morning
(Char's POV)
I woke up still intertwined in Mia's arms, I looked up at her and she was still sleeping so I decided to just lay there and take her in as much as I could before she left again. Some time passed before Mia finally began to stir out of her sleep.
"Good morning, sleepy head" I say softly.
"Good morning, sweetheart, how did you sleep?" She replies.
"The best I have done in months" I say.
She smiles.
"I'm glad to hear that" She says before placing a kiss on my forehead.
I giggle at the feeling and she smiles at me.
"You're so cute" She says.
"Well I'm not being cute for you" I tease, hinting to the time that Mia told me I was her favourite out of everyone at the nursery.
"Oh really?" She smirks.
"Yep" I say, tracing my finger over her stomach.
She breathes deeply at the touch.
"Sweetheart, that is going to drive me crazy, don't do that" She says.
"What do you mean?" I ask, not stopping, I have an idea of what she means but I want to hear her say it.
"I mean that if you don't stop then you're going to turn me on" She says, sounding a bit irritated.
I smirk at her and then move my hand away.
"Sorry" I say.
"It's okay" She replies.
"Mia?" I question, sitting up.
"Yes?" She raises an eyebrow.
"Why did you choose that song last night?" I ask.
"I... well..." She stutters, taking a second before continuing. "It reminds me of you"
I blush slightly at her words.
"Really?" I ask.
"Yes, it makes me think of you and the lyrics, well, they're all that I want to be able to say to you" She answers.
My eyes widened.
"You mean that you want to tell me all of that?" I question.
She looks down and starts fiddling with her hands, clearly flustered.
"Yes" She replies.
"Wow, I uh, don't know what to say" I blush at her confession.
"Don't say anything, it's fine, I know it could never happen" She says sadly.
I look up at her and put my hand under her chin making her look at me.
"Never say never" I say, not quite believing my confidence.
A/N
Sorry this chapter is so short, I will be updating again today but I just felt like I needed to leave it there because if you know my writing you know I love a good cliffhanger. Also, I had to include Sailor Song because I've listened to it for hours on repeat now and it's just my favourite song ever and I need it injected in my veins.
