It All Started With A Kiss (Continuation)

Our Dates

The next morning I wake up and faintly get a glimpse at my wrapped wrist and I sigh.

"I wasn't dreaming after all." I mumble.

"Unfortunately." Alex says.

"You're up, thought you were sleeping."

"Nope."

"Watching me sleep huh?" I laugh.

He chuckles and nods.

"Is that fun?" I laugh, shifting onto my side and facing him.

"It is."

"And tell me, why is that fun?"

He shrugs with a half smile.

"You talk in your sleep sometimes." He adds and I blush a little.

"That may be true, but that doesn't mean I was this time."

"Oh but you were."

"Noooo."

"Yes you were." Alex chuckles.

"Proof?"

"Well you were sleeping so how can I prove it to you?"

"Exactly."

He shakes his head in amusement.

"I think I should get up and change now." I say, starting to get out of bed.

"Nooooo." He whines, pulling me back to him.

"I need to get up and change."

"Not now."

"Yes." I say, pulling on his arms.

"No." Alex holds his arms as tight as he dares.

"You're awfully grabby this morning."

"This wouldn't be because of what happened yesterday would it?" I ask.

"...maybe..." He says, burying his face in my neck.

"I'll be fine, I'm only just going into the bathroom. No one's going to pop out and grab me like last night."

"I know. Just don't wanna let go."

"You have to eventually."

"But not right now."

"Fine...I'll stay here for a little bit if it makes you happy."

"Uh-huh."

Meanwhile Mike's already awake, Aly's still sleeping and he too watches her sleep until she wakes up. She slowly opens her eyes and yawns, looking around sleepily before dropping her head back down against Mike's chest.

"Someone's tired still."

"Mmm..."

"How're your arms feeling?"

"A little sore." She mumbles.

"Well at least they don't hurt as bad as last night."

She nods a little.

"You can go back to sleep if you want, no rush to get up or anything."

She snuggles closer and he plays with her hair as she drifts in and out of sleep. He ends up drifting off himself after she did. A few hours later he woke up and she was just coming out of the bathroom from changing after she took a shower. She finishes doing her second braided pigtail and secure it with a tie before looking up.

"Oh hi sleepyhead."

"Hey." He says, stretching after sitting up.

She sits on the bed right beside him.
