Easy to fall in love with you. (Daniel Sharman/Isaac Lahey)

/Isaac's pov. 

The morning after my parents met Julie, I wanted to get breakfast for her family, so I did. I woke up around 8am, showered, and made my way out.

It took me around an hour to get everything done, and get enough breakfast for everyone including myself. I got to Julie's and carefully knocked, being careful not to wake everyone up. 

"Dude, why are you here so early?", Mike called out, rubbing his eyes after he opened the door.
"I got breakfast for you guys!" 
"Oh, that's cool. Julie's still asleep though", he said, helping me with the food.
"Isaac? Is everything okay? Why are you here so early?", Julie's mom asked, coming down the stairs.
"Everything's fine, I just thought I would get you all some breakfast"
"Well, dad's still asleep, so I'll wake him up in a while", Mike stated.
"You're welcomed to wake up Julie, if you'd like", her mom smiled at me. I nodded and went upstairs.

Slowly opening the door, I saw Julie curled up under her blanket, with the hood on of her hoodie, sleeping peacefully. I closed the door behind me and just watched her in her slumber. 

She looked so free of hurt, and safe. All I wanted to do was take care of her, and make sure she was never sad. She was so beautiful, and gentle, and the kindest person I had ever met. I wanted to keep her in my arms at all times, and tell her how much I love her, over and over again. 

Love is a strange thing. 

I fell in love with this frail creature in front of me, so quickly, and with so much ease. It was like I've known her for my entire life. She took my breath away, even when she wasn't paying attention to me. 

I won't lie, for years I admired her from a distance. I was always under the impression that she wasn't interested in me, or just was interested in being in a relationship. I thought she was perfect. Everything about her was perfect, and now she was mine.

I walked over to her bed, lifted her blanket up slowly, and got in next to her. She didn't move an inch, until I embraced her slowly and kissed her forehead. 

"You smell nice", she whispered, cuddling up to me with her hands on my chest.
"I showered before coming here", I laughed into her hair.
"What time is it?"
"9:15"
"Why are you here so early?"
"I got breakfast for you guys. Also, I can't seem to stay away from you", I said, lifting her chin up and looking at her. She shook her head and covered her fact with the sleeves of her hoodie.
"What are you doing, Julie?" 
"Morning breath", she replied, trying to move away from me.
"I don't care about that, I'm comfortable", I said, holding her tighter.
"Just give me two minutes!", she pleaded.
"Will you come back into bed?", she nodded. "I'm counting" I laughed, watching her jump out of bed and run into her bathroom.

At least a minute later, she jumped back on the bed and went into the same position she was before, but changed out of her hoodie and into a t-shirt.
"Okay, I'm fine now", she smiled.
"Good. Can I kiss you now?"
"Maybe"
"Don't tease me"
"That gives me an idea"
"What?", I looked at her, curious.
"I'm not going to kiss you for the entire day", she nodded proudly.
"Excuse me?", I asked.
"You heard me", she said, pushing me away and getting out of bed again. 
"Oh, you know you can't stay away from me"
"This coming from the guy who came to my house at 9 in the morning", she smirked.
"Fine, game on", this was going to be painful.

/Julie's pov. 

Isaac and I went downstairs to finally get some food in our systems, and were greeted by my parents and Mike.

"Julie, your boyfriend is the greatest person alive. If you dump him, I will never talk to you ever again", Mike said, eating the pancakes Isaac bought. He also decided to bring strawberries, and a frozen pack of bacon, which my mom already started to cook a long with some eggs. 
"Hey, if things don't work out, you can always date him", I joked.
"Hey!", Isaac protested.
"Keep your options open, Lahey", I said.
"i wouldn't mind", Mike played along, causing us both to laugh, and Isaac to simply sigh.

Isaac and I sat down at the dining table with our food, him sitting across from me. Obviously, I decided to have some fun. 

I picked up a strawberry, dipped in cream, and made sure he was watching me. I took a bite out of it slowly, while running my foot up his leg, causing him to cough and drop his fork on his plate. 
"You're horrible", he whispered.
"Oh, you love it", I laughed. 
"I will get you back for this"
"Yeah yeah, just eat your breakfast"

After we were done with breakfast, we sat next to each other on the couch, and put on Season 1 of The Office. Since Mike and both my parents were around, I couldn't tease Isaac so I patiently waited until we were alone, which happened to be about two hours later, since the three of them decided to go early morning grocery shopping. Isaac, apparently, was thinking about the same thing.

"Julie", he whispered right into my ear.
"Mmm?", I replied, not taking my eyes off the TV. 
"I'm bored", he said, before leaving gentle kisses along my jawline and down to my neck. 
"Watch TV then, that's why I put it on", I replied, smirking at my own willpower.
"I don't want to watch TV", he said, continuing to kiss me, moving the neckline of my shirt around so he could kiss my collarbones.
"Too bad, because I want to. This is my favorite TV show, Isaac"
"You're killing me", he said, leaning his head back in frustration.
"Sssshhhh", I said, before putting his arm around me and leaning on his shoulder. 

He gave up trying to make me kiss him, and watched a few more episodes with me, until he dozed off. I got up slowly, got a blanket to put over him, and a book to read while he napped. I laid him down slowly so he could be comfortable, but it was a task because he was pretty heavy, and also a heavy sleeper. I laid down in front of him, put the blanket over us, and read my book, while his arms managed to find my waist, and his head rested on my shoulder. 

I was too into my book to notice that he woke up, that his voice made me jump.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you", he smiled sweetly.
"It's okay", I smiled back, putting my book down and turning to face him. "Did you have a nice nap?"
"Yeah, but only because you were right next to me"
"You're so cheesy"
"How long was I asleep?"
"Around 40 minutes, I think?", I said, running my hands through his hair while he yawned. "If you want to sleep more, you can go sleep on my bed, Isaac" He shook his head and yawned again.
"You're clearly sleepy, Isaac. I don't mind, really"
"Will you stay with me?", he asked.
"Of course", I replied, rubbing my nose against his.

We walked upstairs and got into my room, and into my bed. Once we were both in, and under my blanket, Isaac got on top of me, and smirked at me.
"I still didn't get my kiss", he said softly, moving his face closer to mine slowly.
"Life is full of disappointments, Lahey", I joked.
"I bet", he laughed, leaving little kisses down my neck, and putting his hand under my shirt, but kept it on my waist. "Are you gonna kiss me now?", he whispered, in between the kisses he was leaving on my neck.
"Nope", I replied, biting my lip.
"What about now?", he said, moving lower and down to my collarbones, gently nibbling as he went along, moving his hand higher up under my shirt. 
I stayed quiet, and he stopped asking. He just kept kissing me all over, running his thumb over my waist slowly, while his other hand held onto mine. 
Finally, he stopped, and brought his face up to mine and looked me in the eyes.
"Now?", he whispered. I simply nodded, and he crashed his lips onto mine, and kissed me passionately. 
When he finally broke the kiss, he dropped down next to me and laughed. "That was way too easy", he stated.
"You're horrible", I huffed.
"I told you I would get you back"
"I hate you", I said, now facing him.
"No you don't", he replied, pulling me into his arms.
"Yes, I do"
"But, I love you"
"I know", I said, moving closer into his chest.
"Say it back", he almost whined.
"I love you too", I laughed, looking up at him and giving him a quick kiss, before we went back to sleep, embraced in each other.
