Gray’s POV:
I tilted her head so I could lean in to press my lips against hers.
“I love you, too,” I whispered. “Every day, minute, second… I’ll always love you.”
“I’m so glad….” I murmured into his lips. “That I have someone who loves me like that.”
Gray’s POV:
I smiled against her lips before I pulled away and nuzzled her neck.
“Tired?”
“Sort of? Are you?” I asked, nestling closer.
Gray's POV:
I nodded, hugging her tighter.
"I am," I murmured. "Kids are such a work."
Suddenly, I remembered the events of the orphanage, and an amused smile tugged at my lips. “I still can’t believe you were jealous of that seven year-old.”
Eden’s POV:
I immediately threw my arms around Sterling’s neck, cheeks turning redder as he carried me to our bed.
“You can eat right now…” I mumbled. “I might not sleep right away. I don’t want you to stay hungry.”
Sterling’s POV:
I hummed and leaned down to kiss her forehead before setting her down on the bed. “How about we compromise? You try to sleep, and I’ll go make myself something quickly. I’ll eat in here until I’m sure you’re askeep,” I suggested, sitting down in the edge of the bed.
Eden’s POV:
I chewed on my lower lip before nodding.
“Okay…” I agreed quietly, although I just want to curl up against him and sleep. He always made it simple for me to fall asleep. He kept the nightmares away. “Let’s do that.”
Sterling’s POV:
“I’ll be right here if you need me. Or in the kitchen. If you need something, just call for me and I’ll come,” I assured her gently before standing. “I’ll be back in a few.”
Eden’s POV:
I nodded with a smile, watching him before I settled in the bed, pulling the covers over me and hugging the pillow.
I sighed.
Sterling’s POV:
After pressing a quick kiss to her cheek, I left the room and made my way to the kitchen. I just made myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, something easy and simple, before heading back to the bedroom.
Eden’s POV:
I looked up at Sterling, smiling when he sat down next to me. I shifted so many head was on his lap.
“Goodnight, Ry…” I murmued.
Sterling’s POV:
I smiled down at her softly before kissing her cheek. “Night, my queen. Rest well…”
(Skip? Not it!)
(Hate you…
Let's wait for Topaz?)
Hi)
(Hi! Let's skip? To when?)
I’m currently in choir rehearsal so I might be on and off)
(Ah, that's okay. (:)
Eden's POV:
I woke up the next morning snuggled in Sterling's arms. Even if he was asleep, his hold on me was strong. I shifted a little before resting my head back on his chest, sighing softly. I loved sleeping with him, in his arms, protected from everything.
Ah, this man had made me soft.
I looked up and pressed my lips against his cheek, a soft smile on my lips.
"I love you, my king," I whispered before resting my head back on his chest.
Gray's POV:
For the first time, I woke up with my girlfriend safely tucked in my arms. I smiled, looking at her. Violeta was adorable when she was awake, but she was even cuter when she was asleep.
I pulled her tighter against me, running my fingers through her hair, pressing a kiss on her forehead.
Sterling’s POV:
Something light brushed against my cheek, and I heard the soft voice of my girlfriend whispering to me. I hummed and let my eyes blink open, looking down at her.
“G’morning,” I greeted her, my voice hoarse from sleep.
Eden’s POV:
“Good morning,” I whispered. Honestly, could his voice get even deeper? “Did I wake you?”
Sterling’s POV:
I smiled and kissed her nose lightly. “No, I was already beginning to wake up, I think. Plus, why would I mind waking up to my amazing girlfriend beside me?”
Eden’s POV:
I closed my eyes, breathing in deeply.
“I didn’t mean that,” I chuckled softly. “I just thought I woke you up. How was your slee?”
Sterling’s POV:
“My sleep was great. It’s nice to have someone warming my side,” I said with another kiss to her nose. “What about you? How was yours?”
Eden’s POV:
I snuggled deeper into his embrace.
“You know it’s always great when you have your arms around me,” I mumbled shyly. “You make me feel safe.”
Sterling’s POV:
I grinned and tightened my arms around her. “Good. I’m glad you feel safe around me. I would be very sad if you didn’t… Are you hungry? We could make breakfast now.”
Eden’s POV:
“Okay,” I mumbled, not wanting to move. “What do you want to eat?”
Sterling’s POV:
“Hm… Maybe pancakes? Chocolate chip pancakes?” I suggested, smiling at her. “That sounds really good right now.”
Eden’s POV:
“Sounds good” I agreed. “Ah, I miss my mom’s pancakes…”
