Arabella's POV

I start to open my eyes and see that i am in Connors arms. How did i get here? I carefully sit up on the bed and look what time it is on my alarm clock.

4:07am. Cheese and crackers. Why did i wake up this early? All of a sudden my stomach growled. Oh. That's why...

I slowly start to get up with my back facing Connor.

"Nooo. You're comfy." He says in a deep raspy voice and pulls me towards his body.

"I'm hungry and i thought you were asleep..." I say quietly.

"I was asleep." He says and bury his face into the crook of my neck. Then my stomach growls again.

"I felt that... Come on." He says then gets up.

"I don't feel like getting up now. Carry me." I whine and put my arms up for him to lift me into the air.

"Weirdo." He mumbles and does as he does what he is told and he carries me downstairs.

He sets me down and i turn on a light so we can see. I start walking to the refrigerator and open it. I then pull out the milk, go to the counter and get two bowls.

"What kind of cereal do you want?" I ask him while walking to the pantry to get some fruity pebbles.

"Well, i like surprises..." He says while his head is laying on the counter. i am assuming he is still tired.

I make us both a bowl of cereal and when i am done i pass his to him.

"Thanks." He says in a tired voice.

"You know you didn't have to come down with me and my uncontrollable hunger." I say as i down half of my cereal. I didn't even feel like sitting down so i just eat it while standing up.

"Maybe i wanted to come down with you and keep you company." He says and shrugs.

"You still didn't have to..." I say as he slowly steps closer to me. He keeps stepping closer until his face is inches from mine. He tucks my hair under my left ear.

"You had some fuzz in your hair." He said softly and sat in the island to finish his cereal. I finished mine two minutes ago.

Was he gonna kiss me? What if he was? Did that mean he liked me back? Am i over thinking things? Defiantly over thinking...

He finally finishes his food and we go back upstairs.

I lay my head on his chest. "Can you sing me a lullaby?" He asks and strokes his fingers through my hair.

"Look at the way the moon behaves.

Look at the way she paints a silver ribbon on the waves.

One thing that I've learned that I'll share with you, nothing is too wonderful to be true.

Each moment opens like a flower.

The age of miracles comes every hour on the hour.

Turn every corner to something new.

And nothing is too wonderful to be true.

If i proceed to naive, to be the way i am, let people say i am a silly goof.

Is life a plateful, or am i grateful everyday i sound amazed in the world, in which we live.

And I've got living proof...

Look at the way the moon behaves, look at the way she paints a silver ribbon on the waves.

Leading directly to me and you and nothing is to wonderful to be true.
