Leighton's POV

I woke up, surprised, with a toned, naked chest pressed against my back and a heavy, tanned arm around my waist.

I looked around, trying to figure out where I was until I remembered what happened last night. I completely forgot I fell asleep in Elliot's bed, where he apparently fell asleep when he got back. Now he looks so peaceful.

Deciding that I didn't want to wake him, I carefully removed his arm from around my waist, and tiptoed my way to the restroom.

After I did my business, I realized I was probably going to be bored, because I don't plan on leaving him while he is sleeping. I grabbed my phone from the night stand and checked my Twitter, when I figured I should tweet something. On Twitter, I posted, "Sleeping soothes the body, but waking next to the person you care so much about soothes the heart." Sometimes I wonder if I'm too cheesy.

After scrolling through my feed for the next couple hours and switching to different social media accounts, I decided I would rest my head.

I put my head in my hands, when all of a sudden, I felt the bed move and the body next to me maneuver his way into a comfortable position. He groans while I watch him, giggling softly.

"Hey sleepyhead. How was your seven hour nap?" I ask, having a playful tone.

He runs his fingers through his hair, which looks totally hot, and laughs. "It was the best nap ever. Especially since I got to spend every bit of it in this tiny ass bed with you!"

I couldn't help laugh, but blush at the same time, before asking, "Do I smell sarcasm?"

I stop laughing for a breather, when he starts to speak again. "Actually, no you don't. I'm serious. I loved sleeping with my arms around you."

I rub my eyes, trying to distract Elliot from looking at my blood red face. I think he realizes what I am doing, so I say, "I did too," in the most firmest and serious tone I could, and I meant it.

I needed to calm myself, so I got up and walked into the bathroom.

I really want to hang out with Elliot today, so I need to make a plan. I think I saw a beach close to here where we can play around a bit, so as soon as I walked out, I suggest we go to the beach a couple miles out of town. I really hope he doesn't have plans.

His face now holds a big, genuine smile while he agrees to my idea. I leave the room to get my stuff and let him get ready, where I notice my Mother isn't in the room. I wonder where she is. Once we are both done, I call a taxi to come and drive us.

Around 2PM, we finally have arrive at Bornholm, and let me tell you, it is the most beautiful beach I had ever seen in my life.

We pay the cab driver, exit the car with our beach totes, and I sprint at the speed of light to feel the sand between my toes, while Elliot is slowly coming to where I am.

As soon as I place my stuff down, I take off towards the water, diving in, ignoring the fact I have clothes on.  After diving in, I come to the surface and flip my hair, hoping it caught Elliot's attention. I think it did too. I am proud.

I slowly walk to Elliot, hoping for him to come in. "I wanted to do that so bad." The water is making my shirt stick to me, so I take off my shirt, when I start having the feeling eyes on my stomach at the same time. I don't have a physique like Elliot, but I have a toned six pack.
