Lauren. 

"Lauren" I hear a small voice whisper, followed by a light tap on my arm, I try to ignore it, but thirty seconds later, the action and voice repeats itself. 

I squint my eyes open, turning my head to the side to see Harmony standing by the edge of the bed with a small smile on her face, I pull the quilt further up my body realising that neither of us got dressed last night. 

"Hey cutie what's up?" I ask groggily trying to keep my eyes open. 

"I'm hungry" She says quietly so she doesn't wake up Camila. 

"You are?" I ask and she nods. 

"Okay, how about we go out for breakfast then, just me and you" I suggest and watch as her eyes light up and she nods her head in rapid speed. 

"Alright, can you get yourself dressed?" I ask and she nods her head again. 

"Okay you go get dressed and I'll meet you downstairs" I smile softly. 

"Okay" She whispers and tiptoes out of the bedroom and back downstairs. 

I let out a sigh of relief and turn to glance at Camila, glad to see that she is laying on her front, the top of her back barely exposed, so Harmony wouldn't have noticed anyway, I smile and admire Camila for a few seconds, the way her dark brunette hair fans out around her head on the white pillow, she shifts slightly causing the quilt to move further down her back, as tempted as I am to kiss along her spine, I resist the urge and slip out of bed, trying to get dressed as quietly as possible. 

I quickly write a note for Camila, letting her know that I have kidnapped her daughter and will be back probably before she wakes up, I smile and leave a gentle kiss on her forehead before leaving the room and heading downstairs, just as Harmony walks out of her room, dressed in a pink dress and white shoes. 

"You look beautiful" I smile. 

"I couldn't brush my hair" She says holding out the brush for me. 

I smile and accept it off of her, bending slightly to brush her lose curls into place. 

"Ready to go?" I ask placing the brush down on a small table beside me. 

"Yepp" She grins and places her hand in mine. 

I smile and walk out of the villa hand in hand with Harmony.

Harmony and I sit across from each other in a small restaurant, waiting for our breakfast. 

"Are you going to be moving in with me and mummy?" Harmony asks me as she plays with the napkin. 

"Maybe one day, but not right now" I answer. 

"Do you want to live with us?" She asks. 

"I would love nothing more" I smile softly. 

"So why wait?" 

Why do kids ask so many questions? They're always so curious. 

"Because mummy and I need to get to know each other a little bit better" I explain. 

"I think it would be good if you moved in" 

"Do you? Why's that?" I ask. 

"Because you make mummy happy, and you make me happy, and you're really good at drawing,  and if you move in I can have two parents" 

My heart melts at her last statement. 

"Do you not like just having mummy?" I ask curiously.
