      I felt someone shift next to me and began to stir from my sleep. They stopped moving and I felt the bed still for a while. As if the person hadn't interrupted my sleep earlier, I felt them softly trace my face with their finger. I scrunched up my eyebrows as I felt them gently trace my lips. When I felt their warm breath on my face my eyes fluttered open. Instantly, hazel eyes met green. My eyes narrowed as I the goofy grin that sported Liam's  face.

     Liam flashed me a cheeky grin as I groaned and felt around me to pick up a pillow to hit him with. He chuckled as I squeezed my eyes shut and tried to find a pillow to use. When I had finally found one, I pretended to fluff it and when Liam wasn't paying attention,  chucked it at his face. His eyes grew wide with surprised as I grumbled and snuggled into the covers. "Oh no you don't." Liam exclaimed as he tugged the warm covers off of my body. I groaned and tried to retrieve my blanket but ended up failing miserably.

      I decided that I was done and flopped back down to my pillow and curl myself into a ball for warmth. I placed two hands under my head as I closed my tired eyes and went back to sleep. "Mayla." Liam groaned as he poked my side playfully. "Liam." I replied in a half-awake-half-asleep tone. Liam sighed as I felt him shift across from me and grab something. "What are you doing?" I grumbled softly. "You'll see." He replied as the bed dipped when he sat up. "Stop moving the bed." I murmered as I snuggled deeper into my pillow.

     I felt something soft hit my face and heard Liam's snickers. Fully awake and alert, I sat up and glared at him. When he saw the look on my face he stopped laughing and gulped. 'Yeah that's right buddy. You should be afraid.' I took the pillow in my hands and looked at him innocently. "Mayla..." Liam drawled out as he slowly got up from the bed. I smiled mischeviously as I went into a frog-like position with the pillow tucked under my arm. I slowly stood up and hopped off the bed, cornering Liam against the wall. He rose his hands up to his face as I gave him a good wack with my pillow. I turned around and picked up my blanket and my other pillow and climbed back into bed, falling back asleep.
