GRANDMA'S BIRTHDAY🎂 💗

Part 8:-Planning(a trip)✨

"Ughhhh!!"

"Calm down princess,here you go"

"Thanks branch"

Poppy dunked down the coffee branch gave her and glanced tiredly at the clock- 12am

She had been working on some papers for a long time for the betterment of the village and it would have sucked the life out of her if branch had not been there to help her.

She banged her pencil on the table,saying:-"why do the people of the pop village have so many problems?"

Branch smirked and said :- "probably because they have an optimistic queen who guides them and makes them feel everything in life can be solved with smiles and hugs"

Poppy shot him a glare to which he said :- "just saying" putting his hands up in the air.

She turned back and looked at the swarm of papers engulfing the table and groaned, exhausted.

She slumped down again on the chair,looking at branch who was arranging her papers and bundling them up,putting them in color coded binders and labeling them according to their importance. She smiled at him,as he worked determined,wondering how in the world he got so much energy.

Branch asked poppy while pulling out a paper from another binder-
"Hey princess,do you think the people need another royal review center---"

He stopped as he saw poppy slumped down on the chair,fast asleep,her pencil dangling from her fist.

Branch smiled and walked up to poppy,and put the pencil from her hand back in its pencil holder, then he took poppy gently in his arms and walked up to the bed,and moving away the binders with one hand to the corner,laid her down.

He was just about to put the binders away when he realized poppy was holding his hand tightly.

He didn't move lest he wake her up,and stood there till poppy murmured in her sleep,turned around quite suddenly and took branch's hand with her,causing him to almost fall on top of her and the binders fell lightly to the floor. Branch dodged but his head hit on the dashboard of the bed,as he lay there next to poppy.

"Ow"

He looked at poppy,who still had his hand in hers,and thought:-
"Wow she won't even let me go even when she's asleep"

Poppy murmered again and craving more warmth,she pulled at branch's hand and tugged it to her chest,causing branch to come closer to her and rest on her back.

Poppy unconsciously,finding warmth at her side and snuggled right into him.

Branch sighed and hugged her from the side,burying his face in her hair,and kissed her neck lightly with a "good night,princess"

As a response,poppy grasped his hand tighter in her sleep and branch smiled as he closed his eyes,still hugging her.

*In the morning*

Branch groaned as birds outside a window awoke him from his sleep. He opened his eyes and saw something pink laying in front of him. The room looked so vibrant as he was used to the gray colours of his bunker.

After a while,he regained his senses and realized that it was poppy and he remembered that he had slept in her bed last night because if he was accurate,poppy even in her sleep, did not let him go.

He rolled his eyes and took his hand off Poppy's,who had loosened her grip on it. He put his hand on her back and traced her spine lightly,not enough to awake her,but he did not guess it would,and poppy groaned in her sleep.

Well rested,she stretched out and snuggled into branch again,grinding her hips into him.

Branch gritted his teeth as he felt himself going harder the more she did that.
