Chapter Twenty Three: Big Brother's Watching

Dallas was the first to wake up. He awoke to find Natalia's brown hair strewn across his pillow. He could smell the flowery fragrance from her shampoo. It wasn't overpowering, or too sweet. It smelled lovely. It suited her. He looked down at Natalia, she had one arm wrapped around his, while the other rested on his chest.

Dallas moved carefully, as to not wake her up. He watched her sleeping peacefully. There was a tiny smile playing on her lips.

Dallas was curious, he wanted to know what she had been dreaming about. He didn't have to wait long to ask. Dallas watched as Natalia's eyes fluttered open. As soon as she saw him, her smile became more pronounced.

“Good morning, beautiful.” Dallas said to her. He kissed her forehead. “Good moring.” She replied. “Sleep well?” He asked, as Natalia moved so that her head rested on his shoulder. She looked at him, her eyes sparkled. “Yes. Did you sleep well?” She asked. “Yea.” He told her with a grin.

They lay there, watching each other, as the sunlight trickled trough the cracks in the curtains.

Dallas had one arm underneath his head, while the other had pulled Natalia closer to him.

“Dream well?” He asked out of curiousity. Natalia smirked. “Yup.” She told him simply, not elaborating. “You looked happy.” Dallas told her his observation. “I am.” She said simply. “I bet you dreamed of me.” He told her cockily. Natalia laughed lightly upon hearing this. “What if I didn't?” She asked mischieviously. “Well then, I'm going to have to do something drastic, in order for you not to forget me in your dreams.” He told her with a grin.

“Like what?” She asked curiously. “This.” He replied, kissing the tip of her nose. 'And this.” He told her, kissing the base of her neck. “And this...” He could hear Natalia stop breathing, as he kissed a path from the base of her neck all the way close to her lips. “Lastly, this...” He kissed her deeply. When he ended it, he could hear Natalia's tiny gasp for air. Her eyes were blissfully closed, they opened with a flourish. “You'll definitely be dreaming of me tonight.” He said to her with a smug grin. “You might just get your wish.” Natalia conceded. She was flushed.

“Go get dressed.” Dallas told her. She looked at him questioningly. “We'll do something, together.” He told her with a smile.

Reluctantly, Natalia got up, but not before Dallas had snagged another kiss. She threw a pillow at him, which he caught.

Dallas watched Natalia leave. He lay in his bed, trying to commit each moment permanently into his memory. Soon he got up to get dressed. He was looking forward to the whole day with Natalia.

Natalia's good mood was hard not to notice. Dawn and Clara were suspicious, even the guys were surprised by her unusually cheerful demeanor. It wasn't like she was always serious, it was just she always had seemed stressed out. For some reason now she looked relaxed.

“So what are you up to?” Dawn asked her. “Nothing.” Natalia said, looking up from her papers. Her film course required her to write a script. She was reading about how to properly format the script, and was brainstorming ideas.
