I flutter my eyes open trying to adjust to the light to open them, I try to move but something keeps me in place or should I say, someone, the events from last night come back to me and I can't help but smile up at him. I try to move again but Matt is holding me as if he was afraid I would leave him and he is a heavy sleeper so if I try to move he won't budge. I reach up to him and plant small kisses on his neck and up his cheek, I can see his smile and his grip loosens a little bit but I still can't move.

" I can get used to waking up like this every morning" he smiles and lets go of me, he tries to grab me once again but I hurry out of his embrace to go to the bathroom.

"Good morning to you too" I chuckle getting out of bed and walk over to the bathroom, I'm brushing my teeth when it hits me, I guess I had a weird expression since Matt saw my face all the way from the bed.

"Babe, what's wrong?" I hear him say clearly with the bathroom door open since I'm just brushing the teeth.

"You know what I just realized," I say when I finished brushing my teeth and walked over to sit on the side of the bed. 

"What?" Matt asks sitting up talking my hands in his.

"I was asleep all night" still not changing my expression.

"Yeah and... babe you look like you've seen a ghost what's wrong with that?" 

"No listen, I slept the WHOLE night," I say still not believing how this was happening.

"Yeah...not following"

"I didn't get my nightmares today" I finally say and he immediately understands what's going on.

"Really! That's amazing" he says and we close the space between us with a hug.

"Maybe they won't come back anymore and I can sleep comfortably now!" I say excitingly I jumped off the bed kissing him on his cheek then walked over to the closet to get ready.

"I still need to figure out why though" even though I didn't get my nightmare I still feel the guilt, and I think that will never go away. 

"Worry about getting ready later, right now let's enjoy this moment of you being able to sleep comfortably and your beautiful face looking more rested than before" he says grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the bed, laying back down he wraps his arms around me and I put his head on my chest.

"Yeah I know I look ugly with them but something about my nightmares doesn't feel right," I say starting to feel insecure since I have no makeup on me so I hide my face on his neck but yet again he makes me look up at him.

"No, you don't you are beautiful with and especially without makeup," he says kissing me on my lips. When I break our kiss I walk over to my closet and get my clothes for the day and go into the bathroom to change and open the door when I'm finished changing. "and about your nightmares just enjoy it" he continues when I open the bathroom door after I have my clothes on he walks in.

"So are you free today?" I ask Matt while I'm doing my makeup and Matt gets an extra toothbrush from the cabinet.

"Yeah, why?" making it a little hard for me to understand what he's saying since he was brushing his teeth. 

"Well it's Sophia's birthday today and we are going out to dinner and I wanted to invite you so would you like to go?" I ask looking at him, I haven't really appreciated how good his morning hair looks, handsome like always. 

"Of course I would" Now that I heard perfectly.

"Great, okay let's go downstairs...Wait my aunt and uncle are downstairs they're going to freak out once they now you slept over." I start to freak out and pace around the room but Matt stops me holding my shoulders.
