Sam’s POV

I don’t remember what time I went to sleep but I remember waking about 4am to go to the toilet.  It wasn’t until I got back that I realised Josh was still in my bed.  He was asleep on his back lightly snoring.  I climbed into bed quietly so as not to wake him.  He looked so peaceful.  I slid down under the covers and layed on my side to face him.  I let my eyes trace the features of his face.  Did he even know how utterly attractive he is.  He has this manly squared and dimpled jaw with a childs big goofy grin and dreamy eyes.  I moved closer and layed my head next to his and closed my eyes.  I felt Josh shift and instinctively I opened my eyes to be greeted by his.  He smiled lazily at me.

‘Hey how do you feel’. he asked

‘I’m ok, thanks for staying with me you’re really sweet Josh’.  I reply

Josh lifted his face up and planted a delicate kiss on the tip of my nose. ‘Anytime Sam’

Josh pulled me close and I lay my head on his chest.  He gave me a tight hug and buried his face in my hair inhaling deeply.

‘Mmmm goodnight Sam’

‘Goodnight Josh’.

Josh’s POV

I woke up the next morning feeling great I’d slept like a log.  Only problem was this girl laying next to me was still asleep with her mouth near the base of my neck. Each time she exhaled a warm breath it tickled my neck and sent a warm fuzzy feeling through me.  

I really liked the fact that she was snuggled up to me like this, it felt wonderful waking up this way.  Only, another part of me was waking up as well and I could not picture anything that would make it go down.  This is going to be really embarrassing if I cannot keep myself in check.  We kissed last night.  We kissed for quite a while really but that was all.  I felt really sorry for her, she was so scared of the storm and the protective instinct in me took over.  I figured I need to distract her and that was the first thing that popped into my head.  Kiss the girl, hold her close and tell her it’s going to be ok you’re here and you’ll keep her safe.

I felt Sam stir and I took the opportunity to move away from her just enough to distance her warm moist breath from my neck. 

Much better.  I turned slightly to my side and looked over at Sam taking in all her features.  Long straight almost black hair, fair skin dotted with a few faint freckles, flushed red lips slightly full and pouty and when she opened her eyes the bluest I’ve ever seen.  I usually am attracted to girls with a more exotic appearance but this girl made me feel all jittery when I decided who she reminded me of.

‘Good morning Snow White’ I said as she opened her eyes.  Snow White that’s what her delicate features remind me of.

‘Good morning to you’.  ‘Did you just call me Snow White?’ she said with a dream like lilt to her voice.

‘Uh yeah sorry’.  I smiled an awkward smile.

‘My grandfather used to call me that’  she said and gave me a huge smile.

‘I was just looking at you while you were asleep’.  ‘Sorry, didn’t mean that to sound so pervy’.  ‘I just woke up and didn‘t want to wake you‘.  ‘Anyway I was looking at you and your face and hair just made me think of Snow White you know lying there waiting for the prince to awaken her’.  I smiled back at her.

‘I’m kind of sorry I opened my eyes now’ she said as she blushed’.

‘Close your eyes and I’ll do my best’.  She closed her eyes and I propped myself up on my elbow and leant in really close to her face but didn’t kiss her straight away.

I could see her lips curling up ready to laugh because I was taking so long and she could feel my breath on her face.  I leant in and placed a perfect kiss on her lips.  Her lips were really warm and soft and as I pulled away I felt a smile creep onto them.

‘Thank you kind prince for waking me’ she said and we both laughed.

Sam’s POV

I woke up feeling like someone was staring at me and I opened my eyes to see Josh with a faint smile just looking at me.

‘Good morning Snow White’ he said.

Did he just call me Snow White.  My grandfather called me that all my life.  I remember him reading me the story when I was little and saying you know Samantha you look a lot like Snow White are you sure you’re not her.  I would get all excited and say I don’t think so I don’t know any dwarves.  

As I waited for Josh to kiss me and awaken me like the prince did Snow White I felt his breath on my face and knew he’d paused.  Did he have second thoughts or was he being silly.  Just as I thought It was the latter and was about to laugh because of his breath tickling me he bought his lips to mine.  I had to smile it was such a sweet and innocent kiss.

‘Thank you kind prince for waking me’ I said and we both laughed.

I stretched my arms up and yawned ‘how about I make us some coffee and pancakes’.

‘sounds great, I don’t want you to go to too much trouble though’ Josh replied.

‘nonsense you’re my guest and I’m really in the mood for pancakes’

Thankfully my ankle felt pretty good this morning after last nights catastrophe with the vase and I could pretty much walk normally again.

Ok time to make a huge stack of pancakes and brew up some coffee.

I quickly put my hair up into a pony tail and got to work on breakfast.
