'It's easy to plan elaborate nights out but when someone can make you feel happy just by doing the smallest things, that's when you know you've got something special.'

My eyes fluttered open when I felt someone next to me. My body went in complete panic. I opened my eyes in complete panic, all my tiredness and sleep went away.

Looking around my body relaxed when I saw Alex lying on my bed amusement on his face. I narrowed my eyes at him as he was laughing at me.

Taking the pillow right next to me I hit him with that.

"You scared me." I whisper-yelled at him.

He was too busy laughing completely ignoring my words and me hitting him.

"I hate you," I said squinting my eyes at him.

He rolled his eyes with a small smile playing on his lips.

"You can't, even if you want to," he said pulling me so now my back was against his chest.

A sense of deja-vu came washing over me. It was the same position as the day before.

"Morning lil'one," he said softly giving a small kiss on my neck making chills run on my skin.

"How did you enter?" I asked curiously ignoring the way his firm hold on my waist made butterflies in my stomach.

A universal question for the butterflies by me. Do butterflies feel humans in their stomachs when they're in love or when they have a crush?

Guess I'll never get the answer to this question unless a butterfly reads it.

"You left the window open," he said shrugging as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"And you're here at 5 am because?" I asked amused looking back at him.

"Cause I couldn't afford to be late on the day of the trip sweetheart," he said teasingly making me roll my eyes.

That was true anyways.

"So now leave me so I can get ready," I said squirming in his hold.

"Alright," he said leaving me.

As soon as I got up from the bed he whistled. And I remembered I was wearing shorts and a crop top. I rolled my eyes.

"Pervert," I said and threw the pillow that was near me as he just chuckled at that dodging the pillow.

Before getting in the shower I picked out an outfit from my closet. A black off-shoulder top and denim high-waisted jeans.

After showering I quickly got dressed. Coming out I saw him watching his phone while sitting on my bed.

His eyes came on me darkening in an instant.

"Does this look alright?" I asked frowning while doing a little makeup.

He was now leaning on my closet looking at me with an expression I couldn't fathom.

How did he come to my closet so fast?

I swear I sometimes feel he is a vampire.

Turning around I moved closer to him.

"You look breathtaking," he said circling his arm around my waist, pulling me flush against him.

I found comfort and warmth in his arms. It felt nice and cozy.

"Are we not getting late now?" I ask teasingly.
