I stir awake, the bright light from outside entering the house. I can feel Sawyers arms protectively wrapped around me and his fingers are lightly fluttering on my back. My stubborn eyes slowly open and I'm face to face with Sawyer, his green eyes staring back down at me. It looks like he's been up for a while.

My cheeks flush red and I give him a small smile as I snuggle closer into his warm arms. I close my eyes hoping to sleep in a little longer. I hide my against his chest from the bright morning sun and the sound of his breathing and racing heart beat calm me down.

Sawyer continues to soothingly rub my back and I feel like I'm in heaven.

My eyes shoot open, my bladder sending signals to my brain that's it's full and I groan trying to get out of Sawyers grasp.

Dumb bladder...I'm warm and comfortable and my bladder is, ugh.

"Good morning?" Sawyers morning voice rasps. I try to get out of his hold, but he snakes his arms around me tighter.

"Breakfast?" He asks, but I don't answer.

I push on his chest and sit up, finally I've escaped, but I'm immediately pulled back down to the floor.

"Answer..." Sawyer demands and I roll my eyes.

I sheepishly laugh and glare at Sawyer, who in turn just gives me a lazy smile and pulls me down to his chest.

"Let go of me, I need to pee." I grunt.

"Three, two, one..." Sawyer counts and I look at him confused.

"What's going on here?" I hear Mia's voice and I freeze. I'm on top of Sawyer, both my arms on either side of his head and I look down at Sawyer, my eyes wide.

I quickly get off of him and turn to Mia, shaking my head no.

"It's not what it looks like..." I tell her, but she's not listening. She's looking at Sawyer and she looks angry.

"Want to explain what the hell is going on, Sawyer?" She raises and eyebrow and her loose bun come undone as she waves her hands frantically.

"Where were you last night?" Sawyer questions and she rolls her eyes.

"I'm not here and this happens?" She questions, her voice rising.

"Nothing is happening..." I say, but falter thinking about every kiss I shared with Sawyer.

"You don't sound convincing..." Mia says, but all her angry attention is on Sawyer. I look over to Sawyer and he looks nonchalant. His face is bored and he just shrugs.

"We need to talk..." Mia stomps her foot and I slowly get up and raise my hand,

"And I need to pee..." I whisper, to which Sawyer snorts in amusement. I turn to him and glare,

"You think this is funny?" Mia snaps at Sawyer and I slowly back away and race to the bathroom.

I can hear Sawyer mumble a few phrases as Mia raises her voice. When I poke my head out from the bathroom I see the coast clear. They must have gone upstairs.

I rush upstairs to my room and I hear them yelling the closer I get to my door. I tip toe to Sawyers door and slowly place my ear on the door.

"You know damn well you're not supposed to be with her!" Mia yells and I hear a bang, like Sawyer punched something. But he doesn't respond to what she said.

"That's why you have me! You're putting her and everyone you know in danger. You need to stop." She threatens, and I crease my eyebrows, I'm slightly confused.
