Save Haven

Clarissa PoV:

When we entered our room it was late at night. Leonora headed directly for the bed, falling into it face first. "Don't you wanna change out of your clothes first sweetheart?" "Too tired…" she mumbled against the soft blanket, not even moving her head to look at me. I chuckled, putting down my stuff before going to the closet, grabbing a fresh shirt for both herself and Leonora.

"C'mon, sit up for me please." "Noooo…" Standing there, I took a few pictures before I sighed. "Guess no cuddles then for you." Faster then I had thought, she sat up, looking at me with her puppy eyes. "That is mean. You can't do that." "As you can see I can and I will if that means I get what I want. Now be so nice and lift your arms."

Together, we changed into the fresh clothes before we crawled under the blanket. It didn't take long for her to cuddle right up to me, her face hidden in my neck. "Now you can sleep, Nora." I gave her head a soft kiss, sighing at the feeling of her locks against my skin.

"Love you…" she whispered tiredly, accompanied by a yawn, before her eyes fell completely shut and she was out. "I love you too, my sweet little girl." But other than her, I couldn't fall asleep. At least not yet. The evening kept replaying in my head, showing me her face over and over again and how excited she seemed about all this. It made me realise just how normale this all had become for me.

Closing me eyes, I sighed, pulling her closer to my body. Maybe they all had a bit truth to their words. This was the first time since forever that I took vacation and it's purpose wasn't for work or anything else. She had changed me, to the better. If only everyone could understand this.

The night passed by and soon we had almost 5 AM. Rubbing my eyes, I carefully snook out of her embrace and walked over to the window, looking out. It didn't take long though for her to notice that I was missing and soon, she stood next to me, her head leaned against my shoulder and her arms wrapped around my waist.

"Why are you up so early?" she asked, her voice showing that she was still, in fact, very sleepy. "I… haven't slept yet. To much on my mind." Her hand grabbed my chin softly, turning my head towards her. "Why didn't you wake me?" "You looked so cute while sleeping, I couldn't disturb you." I smiled as her cheeks turned slightly pink and she had to look to the side for a moment.

"Well, then we should head back to bed. You need sleep, grandma." Before I could even say something, she carefully pulled me closer and gave me a kiss, her hand still holding my cheek. As we parted, I rolled my eyes, shoving her towards the bed. "Don't think I just missed that you called me grandma."

Acting all innocent, she pulled me with her towards the bed, pushing me down on the soft mattrest. I chuckled, holding my arms open for her to crawl into. "Cuddles with my old girlfriend." "Your old girlfriend will do some unspeakable things to you if you don't stop calling her that." Once more, her cheeks flushed and she hid her face in my chest.

"That's what I thought." Ruffling her hair, I felt how I got more and more tired. She made me feel safe. She always managed to calm me down. She was my safe haven for everything and I was glad that I had met her.

Even though Leonora had already several hours of sleep, we both only woke up way later into the day. And if she would be in charge, we could have slept until it was dark out again.

"Seems like the fly has effected you a bit, hm?" "I don't know, but I could sleep like two more days." I chuckled and ruffled her hair before grabbing a fistfull to pull her closer to me. "But then you would miss all the amazing things I want to show my beautiful girlfriend. Do you realy think sleep is more important than that?"
