Leah?

The sun poured through my curtains. I allowed my face to linger in the sunshine before finally opening my eyes. It was the first time in a very long time that I had slept properly.

 As I was about to slip out of bed, the door swung open.

''Morning, Sunshinneee!'' Conor sung.

Oh, God no. Not now. Not this early.

''Nice of you to join us. Ms Smith at this Godly hour of 2:45pm'' He said rolling his eyes and sitting on the edge of my bed.

''Ugghh, who let you in?'' I groaned, dragging myself towards the shower.
''How very dare you? I am your boyfriend and I should be allowed full access to your house!'' Conor cried, holding his heart in fake pain.

Apparently, your heart is in your collarbone.

''Whatever!'' I sung, slamming the bathroom door shut. 

I climbed into the shower and had a quick wash down, before slathering myself in lotion.

 I wasn't entirely sure that Conor had gone so I wrapped my body with my fluffy white towel. Sure enough, he was sitting on my bed. 

''Conor get out!'' I yelled, hitting him with my pillow. I couldn't help but notice the way his eyes moved up and down my body.

''Well, damn'' He muttered.
''Seriously?'' I asked, my cheeks burning in embarrassment.
''Seriously, sunshine'' Conor smiled. ''You're beautiful''

You believe him? 

Leah??

''I love you'' I whispered, my eyes never leaving his.

''Your very special, sunshine.''

Leah, please. Listen.

 I smiled fully before giving him a peck on the lips.

''Now depart from my presence'' I commanded, opening the door for him. He raised up his hands in defense. ''You the boss, sunshine'' 

He said, slipping out of my room. When he was gone I finally turned to my wardrobe. I decided on a gray tank top, blue washed jeans and my white converses.

 My hair wasn't capable of being creative so I just decided on a messy bun. NO make-up today. I'm going all down and natural,

I plodded down the stairs and into the kitchen.

''Morning Mom!'' I said, snatching an apple from the fruit bowl.

''Morning, dear'' My mother replied smiling at me. ''You're looking fresh''. 

''Thanks'' I said smiling. 

''Conor's waiting for you in the lounge, dear.'' My mother called, as I skipped out of the kitchen. I walked into the lounge and found Conor texting rapidly on his phone.
''Who yah texting?'' I asked, falling beside him on the couch. He quickly slipped his phone into his pocket and stood up.

Leah!???

Can you even hear me?

''N-nothing, no-one'' He stammered. 

I frowned. What was going on?

''It's certainly not nothing, if your hiding it'' I said laughing nervously.
''Well...it's nothing'' He said shrugging.
