Merel+Luke

Luke's POV

Slowly sitting up, my tired eyes fixated on the sunlight streaming onto the wooden floorboards, the blinds embedding intricate patterns not only on the floor but on the bed. A soft snore diverts my gaze to the most beautiful girl right next to me, Merel, nuzzled into the crook of my neck. Her pale blonde hair spread out around her, illuminated against the mountain of white pillows. Her lips were slightly parted and I couldn't help but smile at how mesmerising she looked asleep. "I like it when you sleep," I whisper, placing my lips to the top of her head, "for you are so beautiful," both her cheeks, "yet so unaware of it." I paused a little, staring at her lips before pecking them. All the books, all the movies, all the songs, can't ever describe how amazing it feels to kiss the love of your life. There are no sparks, no 'zing', no fireworks. You feel serenity - you feel safe, and you feel like you're at home, and Merel is my home.

"Babe, it's time to wake up." I say into her ear, gently shaking her. Her eyes flutter open, the beautiful shade of hazel I fell in love with the first time I saw her. Looking up from her huge piles of papers, she tucked her hair behind her ear and looked up with her glasses, her eyes interlocking with mine. Her soft pastel sweater looked so perfect against her pale skin, as her delicate hands bunched the long sleeves of her sweater, resting on her lap. She smiled, her eyes crinkling, her eyes capturing my attention. With rings of colours surrounding her iris, her eyes looked like the forest, and I was lost in them.

Merel yawned, scooting closer to me, her body warm and cuddly. I wrapped my arms around her, peppering her neck with kisses. "Morning Lu." She mumbled against my chest, giggling sleepily at the nickname.

"Sleep well, babygirl?" I whispered in her ear before kissing it.

"You're in such a kissy mood today but I'm not complaining."

"You're a sucker for my kisses because I'm such a good kisser." I laugh, grinning at her.

She looks up, unamused. "You're a dork and that statement is false."

I gasp in fake shock. "So kiss me then, if you're so amazing yourself."

She grins, pressing her lips to mine, and I'm right where I want to be. At home.
