I set her down gently in the shower as I turned the water on above us.

"Ryder!" Jade shrieked as she hit my chest, "It's cold!"

"Sorry, love." I smirked as turned the handle of the shower, making the water warm up.

The droplets ran down the smoothness of her skin and I watched as they trailed down her perfect body.

"You're beautiful," I whispered, not real sing I had said that out loud and I saw her blush lightly.

She truly was the most gorgeous girl I had ever laid eyes on and I knew that I would never really get over her.

She was my person.

Her soft curls of long blonde hair now stood straight under the water and outlined her face perfectly. Every inch of her was mesmerizing and I only looked away when she began to giggle.

"You're an idiot."

"For you," I smirked as I closed my eyes and began to rinse my own hair under the water.

The water was warm and soothing falling on my face and when I pulled away, I saw Jade watching me in awe.

"Turn around," she smiled timidly and I obeyed, turning around so my back could face her.

"Bend down a bit."

I lowered myself a little more to her height as I heard a bottle cap open and then close.

Moments later, I felt her hands in my hair, rubbing shampoo into it soothingly. I felt all sorts of relaxing tingles and closed my eyes to feel the sensation better.

I'm in love with this girl.

She moved her hands around, her nails gently scratching my scalp as the soap was spread throughout my hair.

"Okay, go back into the water." She whispered and I stood up and rinsed it off, feeling the soap run down my body.

I turned back to face her, wiping the remaining drops of water off of my face to see her in front of me.

"Your turn," I smiled and she grinned too as she turned around so I could wash her hair.

"That tickles!" She squealed as my fingers traced across her neck softly.

After our shower, we got back into bed and fell asleep shortly after, tired from the events of earlier.

—————

The next morning, I woke up to see her still peacefully sleeping beside me. Her long blonde curls were falling over my arm that was wrapped around her body.

Her eyes fluttered open slowly to meet mine and I felty cheeks grow warm at the sight in front of me.

"Goodmorning, beautiful."

She smiled and crinkled her nose before whispering, "Goodmorning, Ryder."

We stayed where we were for a few minutes before she went to check her watch.

"Shit!"

"What is it?" I asked, a bit concerned as I watched her jump out of bed and throw her clothes back on.

"We're late for work!"

"Oh," I gulped and began to get dressed myself. I knew that Draco wouldn't care if I was late or no, but Jade was very serious about her work.
