19th November, 2016
The Anderson's Residence.

        SNOW ROLLED HER EYES for the fifth time hearing the groan from outside her closet.

After a few minutes a head popped in asking, "Are you done yet?"

"No." Snow flatly replied as she searched for clothes she needs to pack.

"How long will it take?"

"Five minutes."

"Why are you so slow?"

        All this while she was answering back absent mindedly but this question offended her. "Excuse me." she turned around facing her pry. "It was you who couldn't pack your bags and I who helped. I was exhausted yesterday so when I came back home I directly went to bed."

        Willow rubbed the back of his neck and smiled sheepishly, completely changing the topic, he said, "I wonder if I wouldn't arrive here you would sleep your ass of the entire day."

        It was Snow's time to groan now. "I don't even know why you came here so early but in a way it was good for me. Now go out and wait for me."

        Willow walked out the closet wondering how this girl could find something positive in everything.

       HE HAD WOKEN UP to a horrible back ache. He was confounded as to why he fell asleep on the couch instead of his bed. When he finally remembered yesterday's events his grin matched the one of a Cheshire cat. It was only six-thirty a.m. when he was all dressed and ready. They were about to leave for Kalamazoo at eight. The anticipation was getting him restless so that's why he drove himself to Snow's house.

        The Anderson's were surprised to see him so early in the morning. At first he had light conversation with Clayton and Della but soon started getting uncomfortable. Roger noticed this and asked him to go to Snow's room. Willow was never so thankful to anyone.

        He knocked five times before opening the door due to impatience and irritation, thinking why was this girl taking so long. His question was answered as his eyes landed upon the sleeping beauty. He went closer to get a better look. Snow was sleeping on her belly. Her face was turned towards the left. Her beautiful golden blonde hair covered her face. Willow brushed the strands away with his fingertips. Her long eyelashes almost reached her cheeks. Her lips were slightly parted and her right cheek wet with her drool. He chuckled and poked her left cheek trying to wake her up.

When Snow finally opened her eyes she was baffled. She looked around and recognized it as her room. Willow chuckled and nudged Snow's nose with his index finger. 'Morning beautiful' he had said and Snow's entire body felt like it was on fire.

SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP.

        Willow was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard that.

        "Earth to Willow. We can leave now." Snow said, giving her room one final check.

"Not yet." He pulled her by her waist.

Snow cocked an eyebrow up, "What?"

        "I did such a big task of waking the sleeping beauty. I need my reward." He smirked.

"And what shall it be?"

        "Nothing big, just one thank you kiss will do."

She giggled and he grinned.
