I watch some tv. It's been a while since Katrina fell asleep.

I go upstairs to go check up on her. She looks so peaceful when she sleeps.

She squeezes her eyes. She must be having a nightmare.

"Dylan." She whispers.

Oh great, she's having a nightmare about me.

I sit next to her. I place my hand on her face. Caressing her cheek lightly, she seems to relax a bit.

I just sit there and wait for her to wake up.

I stare at her full lips. I bring my thumb to her mouth and trace the outline of her lips. The lips I had kissed not too long ago. The lips I wanted to kiss again.

She woke up. I didn't realize my thumb was still lingering in her bottom lip. I pull away.

"Hello sunshine." I said.

" Uh. Hello. What time is it?" Katrina asked.

"It's 3:00." I replied.

"Oh." She said. "What were you doing while I was asleep?" She asked.

"Watching you." I said.

"There you go being a creep again." She said chuckling.

I roll my eyes.

"You want something to eat?" I ask.

"Yeah." She replies.

"Then get it yourself." I said. I stand up and start walking slowly towards the door. The tiniest hint of a smile twitching at the corner of my mouth.

"Fine. Thanks for being so concerned." She said.

I can't hold the smile back.

She gasps as I scoop her up in my arms yet again and take her downstairs.

"Put me down Dylan." She demanded. But of course I didn't listen.

Then she punches me in the chest.

I place Katrina on the couch and sit across from her on the coffee table.

"What do you want from me Katrina?" I ask.
