Charlottes POV:

•❅───✧❅✦❅✧───❅•

7:38am. I turned on my side to see my girlfriend, beautiful and asleep. My god is she just perfect, even when she isn't awake. The way her gorgeous red locks fall off her shoulders and onto the pillow. I could stare at her all day.

I snapped out of my trance when her phone buzzed, confused, I reached over to it and unplugged it, bringing it up to my eyes and blinking a few times, adjusting my vision to read what it said.

One month clean.

I smiled down at the phone, then looked over at her sleeping peacefully. Unaware of the big achievement she had reached today. My god was I proud of her, I know it's not easy to get this far. But I know she's strong, and she can do it - and do so much more. I just knew I had to make today extra special for her.

I slowly began to stand up, until an arm reached out, slinging over my waist and dragging me back into bed. I giggled as I flopped back onto the mattress. She pulled me closer. 

"Don't leave me..." Her voice was raspy as she had just woken up, it was cute. I adore her voice, I could listen to it on repeat for hours. I turned over in bed to face her, I smiled as I saw her sleepy expression.

"My love, we have to get up at some point" She groaned. "I don't want to..." I chuckled at her words. She pulled me in closer to her and buried her head into my chest. "Sweetheart, how about I get up and you can get a bit more sleep?" "Noooo, i'll miss you too much" I playfully rolled my eyes "You'll survive"

I shuffled out of the bed, her arm flopping onto the mattress. She groaned and readjusted her position to get comfortable. I smiled down at her before turning to leave. I grabbed the door handle, twisting it open.

"Wait..." I turned to face her. Her head buried in a pillow. "Hm? What's up sweetheart?" "I miss you." I giggled "I haven't even left the room yet" "Stillll..."

I love it when she's like this, so clingy and needy. "Listen, I promise i'll be back in not even ten minutes. I'm going to go make us a coffee, i'll make you your favourite." She sighed, but reluctantly agreed and let me go.

I left the room, slowly shutting the door behind me - being careful not to make too much noise. I made my way down the stairs, turning the light on when I reached the bottom of them.

I knew I said I would only make us coffee, but I needed to make today special for her. I went into the kitchen, turning on the kettle but also grabbing out a pan from the drawers. Searching through the cupboards, I found some pancake batter. I poured it into the pan, letting it cook while I poured the water from the kettle into two mugs, adding coffee beans and stiring it.

I went back over to the pan, flipping it and turning the pancakes onto the other side. I finished off the coffees, placing them onto the table, before taking the first pancake off of the pan and onto a plate.

I grabbed the next lot of batter, and poured it into the pan. As I grabbed the pan to flip it, a pair of arms wrapped around my waist, hugging me. "Sweetheart? What are you doing out of bed?" "I missed you too much." I chuckled. She buried her head into the crook of my neck. I can't lie I got a bit flustered, going a bit flushed as my cheeks turned rosy pink.

"Here, help me flip this." We both grabbed the handle of the pan, her hand on mine. I don't know why but it gave my the biggest butterflies. We both flipped the pancake, giggling as we did so.

I put it on the plate, grabbing out the maple syrup from the cupboard, her favourite. I squeezed the tub, making a heart on top of the smile. I watched as the smile formed on my face as she noticed what I was doing.

"You're too sweet..." She mumbled as I handed her the plate. We carried over our pancakes and placed them on the table, she sat and I kissed her forehead before going back over to the kitchen counter. I picked up our coffees, carrying them over to where she sat, placing hers infront of her and mine to the seat infront of her.

She smiled at me as I sat down "Why are you doing this...?" She took a bite out of her pancake, waiting to me to respond. "Because I love you!" I sipped my coffee, she didn't know I knew she was a month clean - and I wouldn't tell her I knew.

We ate our pancakes, talking about what we were going to do over the weekend. Once we were done she went to collect the dishes up. I grabbed her hand, stopping her. I brought the back of her hand up to my lips, placing a gentle kiss on the top of it. I watched as her cheeks got a little flushed.

"Your not doing any work today, you stay there, i'll do the dishes." She smiled down at me, unsure what to say. I collected the plates and mugs, bringing them over to the sink. Her eyes looked me up and down as I walked to get the washing up liquid. My god is she cheeky.

I quickly washed up the plates, placing them on the side to dry. I turned around to her, watching her snap out of her gaze and smile at me. She's so stunning, even when she doesn't mean to be.

I walked over to the table, grabbing her hand and helping her up. I placed another kiss to her hand, before turning her arm over and kissing the healed scars that ran up her arm.

"I'm proud of you sweetheart" I pulled her into a hug, "And I will be, forever and always." I made sure to hug her for just an extra second longer today.

I wrapped my arms around her waist, as she buried her head into my neck. Eventually she pulled away and I placed my hands on her hips "What do you want to do today?..."

"Can we watch a movie?" I chuckled, of course she wanted to stay in bed and cuddle and watch a movie. But anything for her. "Of course, my love." I watched the joy spread across her face, she wouldn't ever tell anyone but secretly behind her cold demeanour she was secretly a little clingy thing who would do anything for cuddles.

She grabbed my hand and we practically ran up the stairs, back to bed. We both flopped onto the mattress, giggling in eachothers arms. We shuffled up, getting comfortable, her head fell onto my chest and I laid against the pillows.

I grabbed the remote from my bedside table "Well, what do you want to watch?" I went on netflix, scrolling through the movies and shows.

Outerbanks, Victorious, Heartstopper, Sam and cat

"Wait, go back" she numbered, I scrolled back. Showing heartstopper "This one..." I smiled, I loved heartstopper. I clicked play, watching how engrossed she was.

I began to play with her hair, twirling it around my finger. I love her hair, it's so soft and gorgeous. The way it feels around my fingers is to die for. I placed a small kiss on the top of her forehead.

A couple minutes in she began to fall asleep, i giggled, but wrapped my arms around her "I love you sweetheart, forever and always" I whispered into her ear as her eyes fluttered shut. Not long after I fell asleep too, feeling safe and secure. Not one persons arms who ild rather be in right now.
