Aurelia Esme
The next morning (Sunday)
I woke up by the feeling of Milo's arms snuggling around me. He pulled me close with my back against his chest and kissed my neck softly.
I giggle. "i thought you had to go and see your family?" I asked him.
"that's not until later" he mumbled as i smiled biting my lip before he came up and connected his lips to mine. "i love you" he said staring at me as i rub his arm that's he's leaning on "i love you too" i said before he smiles and leans down for another kiss.
'But Sleep...' i lay back down, and close eyes.
'It's two pm Lia.' He said softly into my hair. 'Were a bunch of sleepy heads.' He said to me and i instantly groaned.
I turned to his way he smiled at me then grabbed my hand and started squeezed it two times. "What are you doing?"
"When I squeeze your hand two times that lets you know that, I'm here. See." he squeezed it again.
"Cute."

We sat with our backs against the brick wall on the roof of our dorm room building. Almost every night we would climb up to the roof, watch the stars and discuss what had happened that day.
I leaned my head against the wall and glanced over at him as he explained a new comic book character he was creating. The passion and creativity in his eyes caused me to smile to myself.
I studied his features, from the way his brown wavy hair was always slightly messy to the way his eyes lit up when he smiled.
I blinked slowly and tried to fight back any threatening tears. As he spoke, he looked over at me and slowly stopped mid sentence.
"...am I rambling again?" He chuckled.
"I like when you ramble." I mumbled as I laid my head on his shoulder.
He was taken back a bit, but just smiled and laid his head against mine. I placed my hand on his arm and scooted closer to him to keep warm.
"Do you like coming up here almost every night?" I ask.
"with freedom, books, flowers, the moon and you, who couldn't be happy." He chuckled.
I glanced down and smirked.
"I could say the same thing." I spoke.
I lifted my head up and stared at Milo in awe. He stared back with a small smile playing on his lips. "Why did you ask me that anyways?"
"I don't know, sometimes when we sit up here it gets me thinking about a lot of things."
Milo turns my way, "like what?" He strokes my hair which feels nice.
"Like,"
"It's just- I hope you stay around for a long, long time"
"And I think I want you in my life forever"
He looks at me and his face softens abit. "I'll always be here Aurelia," he squeezes my hands two times.
"Always."
