"It feels like the kind of day
I can plan a home getaway with you, with you
Breakfast in bed is a good way to start
Wanna taste your lips, my favorite part of you
Yeah you, babe"

{9:14am}

Nick grabbed the tray full of strawberry topped pancakes, a half full glass of pulp-less orange juice and a single flower sitting nicely next to the silverware.

He smiled proudly at the masterpiece he had been slaving over for the last hour. His calloused fingers held tightly to the thin plastic and made his way down the narrow hallway to their bedroom.

Bumping his hip against the wood door, he smiled as he seen his girlfriend sleeping peacefully in the middle of their kingsized bed, her small hands clutching onto Nick's pillow tightly.

He set the tray down on the dresser softly, pulling out his phone and took a picture or two, wanting to be able to remember this sweet, innocent moment.

After setting the photo as his wallpaper on his phone, he climbed onto the mattress, and ran his fingers through her matted hair, "baby, wake up." he mumbled, kissing her temple softly.

She stirred slightly, letting out a quiet whine. She never was a morning person, so being "rudely" woken up wasn't her cup of tea.

"I made you some breakfast." he smiled, watching her for a few seconds as her chocolate brown eyes began to open. He got up, grabbing the tray once again and smiled as she began to sit up.

"You... you didn't haveta do that, babe." she whispered, as he plopped down beside her once again.

"Yes I did. You my dear, deserve everything in the world." he replied, taking one of the small pieces of strawberries and fed her.

Her blush stayed upon her cheeks for so long, Nick felt extremely proud of the fact that he had that effect on her; even to this day.

He began singing a song he had been working on, wanting her to be able to hear it, but also because it was exactly how he felt.

"You've been working too much
Let's get drunk on this love
I gotta think that five o' clock is somewhere

You can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning
Loving you's too fun
So don't let me close my eyes
When I see your face
Somehow sleeping don't concern me
So let's go all night, baby
And get started early (Get started early)"

{Later that Night:}

It was movie night in the Jonas Household, the couple had picked out a few movies for them to watch together; Tangled, Lilo and Stitch, and Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Melissa was absolutely obsessed with all three of those movies, so it was perfect. While Nick was finishing up some last minute emails and work related things, the young girl was in the living room, laying the comfiest blankets and pillows down on the floor.

She was singing along to the boys' music, a huge smile on her face. Her back was facing the hallway as Nick made his way closer to the young girl.

"Whatcha doin' Angel?" he asked, wrapping his arms around her from behind and kissed her cheek.

"Just making sure our date night is as perfect as you are." she leaned into his touch, her brown eyes connecting with his.

"Well you're the most perfect angel to walk this earth..." he smirked, his calloused fingertips grazing the soft skin under the t-shirt she was sporting.

Her cheeks heated up wildly, and she giggled, "oh shush, you." she whispered, resting her hands on the lower part of his arms.

After a few seconds of silence, he came back to his senses, "let's go make some dinner lovebug." he mumbled, taking her hand in his before walking towards the spacious kitchen.

She climbed on the counter, kicking her feet lightly, "what should we have?" she questioned, her back leaning against the wall.

"Hmmm... some spaghetti?" he looked over at her as he opened the pantry door. His hands swiftly grabbed all of the ingredients they would need.

"Princess, can you put some music on?" his soft voice flowed through the silence as he started the burners on the stove.

His wish was her command and she put on a country cover album. There was a song on there that she knew was going to be the song they would dance to at their wedding one day.

After everything was situated, Nick held his hand out, "can I have this dance?" his sparkling eyes didn't leave hers.

"Of course." she replied, jumping down from the counter as From This Moment On/Still the One by Caleb and Kelsey came on.

The couple danced around the kitchen, Nick held her close as their feet glided along the tile floor.

"It's a "make our own movie" night
Slow dancing in a candle light with you, with you
When you tease me, you please me in all the right ways
Try to catch my breath, but you take it away
It's true, it's all better with you"
——
Over the next few days, it seemed like the couple were once again in the honeymoon phase of their relationship. Always touching on each other and never wanting to be more than 100 feet of the other.

"Do you know how much I love you?" Nick asked, a big grin on his face. Melissa and him were currently in the bathtub; even though it was more like a jacuzzi.

Her cheeks heated up, and she hid her face in her pruned up hands. "How much do you love m-me Nicky?" she questioned, looking back at him.

"So much, that I can't imagine my life without you. You are the one that makes me... well, me. You are the one that calms me down when needed. Everything is a million times better just when I get to see your smile." he rambled on, a single fingertip stroking her cheek. "I'm a better man, all because of you."

She blushed, just in awe of the curly haired man she was in love with. "How are you so perfect?" she whispered, leaning into his touch. Nick shrugged, kissing her, "I don't know Petal, you make me perfect cause you my angel... are too." one of his calloused fingers came up and poked her nose softly.

His soothing voice once again began singing, as he leaned his forehead against hers.

"You never know when you're gonna find someone
Who makes you feel good as the summer sun
But you do, you do
You never know when time's gonna run out
So let's make the most of life right now with you, with you"
