i got out of bed quietly, without waking the peaceful body next to me, running upstairs and grabbing my notepad, adding lyrics that'd just popped into my mind.

i started singing, but stopped a minute later when i heard feet padding gently up the stairs, and turned to see reece with a sleepy smile on his lips.

"i'm sorry." i mumbled, extending my arm to him, as he held my hand and sat next to me, his other arm going around my waist.

reece rested his head on my shoulder, "don't be." he said softly. "your voice is beautiful."

"thank you." i said, turning my face to kiss the top of his head.

"i want to have a recording studio." i said, after a brief silence.

"here?"

"yeah. i could get it built in the garden."

"that would be sick." reece smiled and i cupped the side of his face, our free hands still together, now resting on my lap.

"i love you." i mumbled, and he lifted his head off my shoulder to look at me.

"i love you." he grinned, pecking my lips.

reece picked me up bridal style, carrying me down to my bedroom again as i giggled, burying my face in my neck.

we'd just been singing and writing and cuddling for about an hour, and finally decided to actually go back to bed.

"goodnight, princess."

"goodnight." i mumbled as his arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me onto his chest, the top of my head tucked under his chin.
