the next morning was weird.

luke and i had fallen asleep cuddling. his head was on my chest as we laid beneath the covers, his breathing steady in the morning, as opposed to his short sobs the night before. he was still asleep when i woke up, the sun shining in through the french doors that led to the balcony. i ran my fingers through his hair as he slept soundly.

calum knocked on the door. "yeah," i called, telling him to come in. he did.

"sleepy?" he nodded toward luke and i chuckled in response. "um, do you want anything? i'm going to grab coffee with michael."

"i'm good, thanks."

"okay." calum left and i heard the main door close. about a half hour later, as i was scrolling through twitter, luke woke up. i had taken a picture of his curls, my fingers tangled in them, and posted it on twitter moments before.

luke groaned as he woke up, moving around. i looked down at him as he turned over, still laying in my arms, but this time facing me. he smiled, blinking slowly as i smiled back down at him. he closed his eyes and spoke, "good morning princess."

his voice was raspy and hoarse which nearly killed me. "good morning, love."

"mmm," he moaned as i moved my fingers around his scalp. "i love when you do that."

i giggled, smiling as i leaned my head back. "and i love you."

luke and i stayed in bed like that, for almost two more hours, before he sat up. pulling me into his arms, luke pressed a kiss to my forehead, squeezing me into his chest. "i love you so much, baby."

"i love you too," i smiled warmly. luke held me tightly as i rested my head on his chest. "how's your headache."

"it's not too bad anymore."

"that's good."

"sorry i made you stay the night last night."

"don't be, i wanted to."

"is your mum mad?"

"i don't know, she hasn't texted me," i answered and luke nodded. we dropped the topic there. "what do you want to do today, love?"

"i don't know. we could go grab something to eat and then come back and cuddle some more?" luke offered and i nodded. cuddling all day was an option that i was all for. luke seemed to agree.

"i don't want to leave."

"then don't leave, love."

luke sighed. we both know that wasn't an option. 

"come on," luke sat up.
