Younger Lance and his bedroom above!
Lance's POV:
I woke up and noticed that instead of us being on our side of the bed like we agreed, we ended up in the center, Vaness curled up against me and my arm around her. Crap, crap, crappity, crap. We weren't supposed to be this close.
But she feels so nice....I don't want to let her go. Her warmth was so comforting. Her hair was splayed freely, some on her face, most of it spread out on the pillow, inspiring carnal thoughts. I tilted my head slightly, just enough to place a light kiss on her forehead.
(a/n: Vaness is a brunette, but I couldn't find a picture like that, so this will have to do.)

I could feel my heart thumping faster at those thoughts and her close proximity to me for the first time. I watched her sleep, her chest rising and falling peacefully. I pressed another kiss, this time to her temple. I risked waking her up, but I couldn't resist.
After a few more quiet moments, she stirred, her face burying into my chest further. She stopped and her eyes fluttered open, her wide brown eyes looking at me, many emotions flashing through before settling on a look of content.
"Morning, Brown Eyes," She whispered, her just-woke-up voice sexier than her normal voice.
"G'Morning, Cupcake." I greeted, smiling wider, as I gently laid a kiss on her nose. Her cheeks took on a light pink tinge as she looked down and shyly smiled. I wanted to wake up to her face, the face with no worry, the lips without lipstick, the eyes without sadness.
With my right hand, I tilted her face upwards, so she was looking towards me again. Her eyes made me feel something warm in the pit of my stomach, my heart urging me to properly kiss her, my brain just going blank. As I was about to kiss her, a sequence of knocks sounded, and I knew it was Kat. Vaness's eyes went wide and she covered herself to her neck with the sheets. I chuckled and yelled,
"Come in Kat!"
She walked in, smirking and holding a pair of clothes,
"Morning Vanessa, Lance. I hope you didn't have too much fun! Mom's wondering if she should start thinking of baby names. It is 10 am you know,"
Beside me, I could see Vaness's face flush to a bright pink, her eyes conveying her embarrassment. I sat up in bed, giving my sister a look,
"Kat! We'll be down in a few! Save us some coffee, will ya?" She nodded and walked out, shutting the door, but not before giving me a look that said, "Spill."
"I'm so embarrassed right now," Vaness mumbled, her eyes peeking over the edge of the sheets. I smiled at the cuteness and decided she needed to laugh.
