James's POV
After some time, Riley had fallen asleep in my arms. I didn't want to just leave, but I also didn't want her father to come up and see me in the bed with Riley either.
I took her arms off of me, only for her to groan in her sleep and wrap her arms around me again. I chuckle lightly under my breath.
"Okay Riles, co-operate with me babe." I mumble, taking her arms off of me again and quickly standing up. I kiss her forehead and head downstairs.

Riley's POV
I abruptly wake up, looking around.
"James?" I call out, looking around. I spring out of bed and down the stairs. I crept down the stairs, and heard laughing coming from the kitchen.
I walked into the kitchen, shyly crossing my arms. I see James and my dad talk.
"Hey sleeping beauty." James chuckles.
"Hey. Why'd you leave?" I ask as he sweeps me into his arms. I wrap my arms around him and he kisses me forehead.
"I didn't want to disturb you." He says, kissing my forehead again.
"That's okay." I mumble into his chest. I look up at him as he checks his phone.
"I need to go home Riles." He says. "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Okay." I reply. We start to lean in, but stop at the same time as we remember that my dad was still there.
"Go ahead." He says. "I won't look."
Me and James exchange looks until my dad turns away. We quickly lean in and give each other a kiss.
"Bye." I say.
"Bye." He repeats, giving me a peck on the lips.
