I sat up immediately, pushing Nathaniel off the bed once I saw it was Liora but she hadn't seen us since she was tiredly rubbing her eyes.

"Baby." I breathed out, shutting my eyes as I tried to control my quick beating heart, "you can't sleep?"

"I can't find my teddy bear." She frowned, climbing up the bed and crawled down next to me.

I cracked a smile and pressed a kiss against her forehead, softly rubbing her hair.

"Yeah, I'm alive thanks for asking." Nathaniel grunted, slamming his hand on the bed as he pushed himself up to his feet.

"Sorry." I grinned coyly. He smiled and waved me off.

"See, she didn't even need the bear after all." He whispers out as he nods towards Liora who was now fast asleep.

"Oh shut up." I muttered and scrunched my face.

He laughed whole-heartedly and sat down next to me, "that was close."

"I almost had a heart attack." I groaned, "it would've been bad if it was someone else."

"Thankfully it wasn't." He smiled down at Liora, "she didn't even see anything."

"Good, it would've scarred her for life." I shoved his shoulder gently and rolled my eyes, "if we're gonna do this we have to be careful from now on. No kissing in public."

"You're no fun." He pouted, "fine, I won't kiss you in public."

"I'm lots of fun, just not with you." I cooed and flipped him off. He gasped playfully and grabbed my wrist,

"Stop being so mean, or I'll kiss you right now."

"Are you threatening me?" I scoff and flicked his forehead with my other hand, "don't you dare."

"You're right, that's not a threat." He shook his head and stood to his feet. He glanced around my room, picking up two shoes and held them up high.

"What are you doing?" I squinted my eyes and glared at him.

"Come over here and kiss me,-" He nodded towards Liora who was peacefully sleeping, "or I'll wake her up."

"You're joking right?" I snicker, "you wouldn't dare."

"This is more of a threat isn't it?" He smirked proudly and pulled the shoes apart.

I widened my eyes and quickly stood up, careful not to wake up Liora in the process and ran up to him, pressing my lips against his.

He smiles against my lips and drops the shoes, wrapping both arms around me and pulled me close.

I sighed romantically and fluttered my eyes shut. His lips molded perfectly with mine, making the kiss all that much better.

"Mmm." I hummed pulling away, "careful."

"No one's home though,-" He pouted. He ran his thumb under my bottom lip and tilted his head to the side in somewhat of a daze, "I'm obsessed with your lips."
