I was woken up to something falling right on my face.

I groaned and pushed the object off of me as I slowly sat upright. When I looked down to see what fell on me, I saw Calum's notebook filled with song lyrics.

"Michael dropped by earlier," I heard Luke say. "He said to get started writing once you're up."

"Mm..." I murmured as I looked over at Luke who was now clothed in not his bodyguard suit, but skinny jeans and a black jacket.

I glanced out the window. It was still dark out, so I let my head fall right back onto the pillow as I said, "Too early. Going back to sleep."

"It's already ten. You might want to get up already."

I only grumbled.

Luke just sighed before he walked away and I rubbed my face against the warm pillow, pulling the covers over my head and letting myself fall asleep some more. I heard the sound of a door closing and then water running. Luke's probably just showering first before he'll bother me.

After a while, I was able to sleep peacefully just for a bit before the blanket was pulled off of me. I curled up into a ball to keep myself warm, but then I was scooped into arms bridal style, now more conscious than before.

"What the hell!" I shouted and then looked at Luke who was laughing as he carried me towards the bathroom. "Put me down!"

"In a moment, princess," he said as he used his foot to push the bathroom door open. The bathtub was being filled with water and it was still running out of the faucet.

"No! Don't!" I shrieked, throwing my arms around Luke's neck. "I'm awake! I'm awake!"

"I can't hear you over the water you're about to be dropped in, princess!" Luke began laughing even more as he tried lowering me down.

"Luke, knock it off! This isn't funny!"

"Okay, okay. I'll put you down."

"Not in the bathtub! J-Just let me stand on my own."

"Jeez, you take the fun out of a lot of things, don't you?" My bodyguard set me down and I stepped away from him so he wouldn't get any chance of somehow turning on me and throwing me in the tub filled with water anyway. "I'll just drain the water."

I watched as Luke leaned over the side of the tub and pulled the plug to let the empty the tub of water. I leaned against the open door and stared down at my fingers, trying to keep myself preoccupied.

Suddenly water was splashed over to me and I gasped, looking over at Luke whose hands were cupped together. He was laughing as he scooped up more water and aimed right at me.

"Stop it!" I shouted, shielding myself and stepping back, but I stepped in a puddle of water and slipped backwards. "Crap!"

"Princess!" Luke dove towards me and pulled me into his arms, one wrapped around my waist while the other was at the back of my head.

We both fell to the ground, and Luke somehow managed to flip us over during our fall so he was the one that ended up underneath me, his arms still around me while my arms were in between our bodies.

I had fallen in between his legs and I tried not to move around too much since I could practically feel him through my thin shorts.

"You okay, princess?" Luke said and I lifted my head to look at him, his hand that was behind my head sliding down my back and resting at my waist.
