26. Are you still sleeping?





"Drew?" I hear my angel call my name.


"Hmm?" I mumble, too tired to open my eyes, but move to lay my head on her stomach.


"When are you going to wake up?" She whispers, stroking me in her hair. I don't answer, just wrapping my arms around her back with my face buried down in her shirt.


"Oh god, you are so adorable." She laughs of me, but I don't care. I just want to and I need to hold her. I don't know how much time I would have with her today. Her family might steal her away from me.


"Drew, come on. We need to get up." She chuckles, trying to shake me off, but I hold onto her.


"Babe, just let me enjoy you." I mutter, grumpy that she is in such a hurry to get up.


"Oh, someone is in a bad mood." She laughs, making us move.


"Lay still" I say annoyed, but it makes her laugh more. I pinch her butt.


"Ouch!" She yells rolling away from me.


"Why can't you be nice to me?" I pout, taking one of our pillows and hug it, since my girl don't want to cuddle with me.


"Nice to you? You nipped my butt!" She says, but I just ignore her as I bury my face in the pillow. I need my morning hug.


"Why are you always grumpy in the mornings?" Riley asks me and I just shake my head.


"Drew," She tries to take the pillow away from me, but I hold onto it.


"Come on." My girl says.


"I just want you to hold me." I mutter, annoyed that she does not take the hint.


"Why didn't you say so?" Riley asks and then I let her remove the pillow and wrap her arms around me. Oh, god, this is so much better than the damn pillow. I cling onto her, enjoying her softness and warmth.


"Are you going to sleep again?" She wonders as she starts to stroke my neck with her fingers. Which makes me take a deep breath and intertwine our legs.


"Yes." I mumble, half asleep.


"Fine," She sighs.


"Only if you can make me breakfast after you wake up again." She says and I know she is very hopeful right now.


"Of course." I breathe and take a big yawn.


"Thank you." She whispers and I feel her nuzzle on the top of my head.






"Drew, you need to wake up now." Riley chuckle.


"No, I don't want to." I pout and bury my face in my girl's neck, breathing in that beautiful smell.


"Everyone is up and we have been lying here for hours." She sighs, impatient.


"Fine." I mumble, I cannot but give into this gorgeous girl.


"Good." She kisses the top of my head, before she moves away from me. Leaving me with my face down in the mattress. I can hear her looking for her bag and then she gets up to her feet, and I listen to her step out the door.


"Babe." I mumble in the mattress annoyed that she left. Today I am needy, might be because I am so tired. I hope I am not going to be as grumpy as I am right now. That would not be good with all those people around here. They are very nice and I don't want to act like an asshole.








"Drew?" I wake up once again by my angel.


"Are you still sleeping?" She asks and I get up on my feet very fast.


"No." I say as I try to hide my yawn.


"Yes, you were. I might not see, but I am not stupid." She wrinkles her nose. I smile as I make my way over to her and put my hands on her waist.


"I'm up and I am going to make you something to eat, okay?" I smile as I rest my head on her shoulder.


"Okay, thank you." She says and kiss my temple.


"I just need to change cloths." I tell her and move over to my bag to find something to wear, but then turn back to my girl. Noticing that she is wearing my warmest and softest sweater.


"You stole my cloths." I say as I stand up again.


"Just your sweater," She shrugs.


"You didn't see it before now?" She asks, surprised, making me roll my eyes of myself.


"No, I was busy looking at your pretty face." I smile, kissing her cheek before I get out of the room and into the bathroom, which is just next door.


I smile as Riley comes in next to me in the kitchen, holding onto my arm. Right now, I am making that breakfast that I promised her. I hope it was my sandwich, she was aiming at for me to make. Luckily enough, they had all of the things I needed.


"Are you done soon?" She whispers and I snort.


"You are hungry huh?" I ask and lean down to kiss her temple.


"She is always hungry." Devin chuckles as she turns to look at us and I watch Riley wrinkle her nose.


"Well, it's done." I say, taking her hand in mine and lead her to the kitchen table. Where Riley's parents, Alex and her daughter are sitting. Then I get our plates, and put Riley's in front of her and sit down next to her, start eating my own food.


"How is school, Riley?" Alex asks. She does not look like her brother Jace and Andi. They have both blond hair, while she has brown hair, almost like Devin's and she is also shorter. Maybe she is Hunter's biological daughter and Jace and Andi is Skylar's. 


But this whole... mess is a family, no doubt. Alex is the teaser. She likes to mock on her brothers and sister. It was fun watching her this morning, when she was joking with Ethan. She has been hiding most of his things around the house, his phone, keys, wallet and even his toothbrush. His daughter Lindsay couldn't stop laughing.


"It's okay." Riley smile to her aunt.


"Well, that's good. Since you are going to a public school now." Alex says sound somewhat proud of her, which I am too. If she didn't decide to go to regular school, then I wouldn't have met her.


"I like it better, because I feel normal." Riley shrugs and I smile, as I look at her. Then I lay my hand on her thigh, which cause her to turn my way, crinkling her nose. 


I squeeze, and it makes her put her hand on mine. Struggling to take my hand off her, but I keep it there. Just to tease her for stealing my favorite sweater.
