IT WAS EARLY in the morning when Lucien woke up from his slumber and this time, it wasn't as peaceful as he would normally wake as his head was pounding, telling him something was wrong. He quickly came to realize that Evelyn was no longer beside him on the other side of the bed and grew worried until he saw her sitting on a stool across the room in front of a canvas, painting. She was seated close to the window as the natural light came through the curtains which made it seem like she was being kissed by the sun.
After the event that happened last week, everything between them had become more lovable and made Lucien sleep with a peaceful mind, one that wasn't tormented with constant nightmares or events from the past. She was right by his side.
Evelyn had her hair pulled up into a messy bun while wearing Lucien's black button-up to cover herself as she let the paintbrush slide down the canvas. The Upgraded Original watched her with amusement and seemed to relax, but still... the dreadful feeling never left his body. ''You know, it's not polite to stare.'' Evelyn pointed out as she glanced at her fiancé, a smirk placed on her face before she went back to her painting.
Lucien smiled, ''I'm just admiring the gorgeous woman in front of me. Who is, by the way, very good looking in my shirt.'' He retorted with a shrug of the shoulders before he sat upright against the headboard, his eyes never leaving her as he watched how her cheeks began to turn a bright red before she laughed, finding his flirtations adorable. Lucien tilted his head to the side as he looked at her curiously, ''What are you doing up so early, my love?''
''I could not sleep anymore and needed to clear my head.'' She explained as she eyed him for a moment. ''Painting always seems to help.''
''So, you decided to paint me?'' Lucien asked with a smile, his hands resting behind his head, ''I guess I should be flattered.''
Evelyn placed her paintbrush down before she stood up from her seat, ''You could say that you are my muse.'' The brunette stated as she walked back to the bed and Lucien watched her lovingly as she jumped on the bed, sliding underneath the covers next to him. He smiled widely before he pulled her closer by the waist, his arms wrapped around her as he rolled them over so she was underneath him, Evelyn smiled sweetly in return, ''I love you.''
''I love you too, Mrs. Castle.'' Lucien responded happily which only made Evelyn smile grow brighter before he leaned down to kiss her on the lips.
''I could get used to that.'' Evelyn grinned softly as she pulled away from the kiss, ''Yeah?'' Lucien asked and trailed his finger over her cheek which seemed to have a soothing effect on her as she let out a sigh, leaning more into his touch as she simply wanted to be close to him.
