POV: Minx
It's about 12am and I'm sitting on my couch watching tv when I hear the cutest "morning voice" I've ever heard in my life
"Morning Minx" I look up to see Puffy sleepily rubbing her eyes and slowly walking towards me
"Hey sleepyhead, it's actually the middle of the night but good morning to you too" I stand and kiss her on the forehead before getting her a glass of water.

I walk back over and she's full on laying on the couch,
"C'mon cutie, move over" I lift her head up and place it down on my lap, pressing play on the tv show. Oh shit did I just call her cutie out loud? She looks up at me with blushed cheeks
"Cutie? You think I'm cute?" I begin to panic, but maintain my bitchy persona
"You bet your fucking ass I did" I say beginning to stroking her hair and looking away so she can't see my reddened face when I get worried,
"Wait, is that ok?" I look down at her,
"Of course" She puts her hand on my face. Her palm resting on my cheek, and her thumb sliding down my lips. She drops her hand before grabbing mine and turning back towards the tv again.

We watch tv for about 20 more minutes when she grabs her water, still laying down
"You're such a stupid bitch" I say taking the water from her and sliding my arm under her armpits, lifting her up so she's upright leaning against my chest with my arm around her waist. She takes the water from me and I feel her sliding
"Gimme the water" I take it from her and adjust myself so that she's laying in between my straddled legs her head is against my chest.

POV: Puffy
I feel like I'm going to pass away. I'm so comfortable in her arms, I want to stay there forever.
"Lovely, are you alright? You're breathing quite heavily..." I trail off, feeling her heartbeat rise
Budum, budum, budum,
"Uh-I...uhm, well." I lift my hands and put them on the back of her neck. Massaging it slightly to ease her nerves but it only makes her heartbeat faster.
Budum, budum, budum,
Is she alright? Why is her heartbeat so fast? And why is it getting louder? I sit up so we're face to face.
"You can tell me anything, you know that right?" I smile and feel my face going red as her eyes glance from my eyes, to my lips, and back up again.
"I-I'm alright" She says biting her lower lip and I lay back down.

At about 1:30 in the morning we switched to a show that was making jokes and talking about necks.
"I have a fat neck" She says,
"No you do not, it's much smaller than mine" I look up at her, she shakes her head grabbing her own neck. I look back at them tv when I feel her hand on my throat. Her pointer finger and thumb resting under my jaw. I don't realize I'm leaning the crown of my head against her chest until I see her big blue eyes looking down at me. She's smirking and I sit up nervously, scrambling to the other corner of the couch.

"Why're you all the way over there?" She asks me
"I-I got nervous" I say
"Nervous? Why are you nervous?" She crosses her legs. I'm a little sad that I can't go back to where I was before...
"Uhm well..." I trail off,
"Puffy, I never meant to make you uncomfortable-"
"You didn't...actually..."

POV: Minx
I know I didn't, I saw the way you reacted to my hand on your throat... I look at her with a puzzled face. She looks up at me and I slowly make my way across the couch, hovering over her feet, her knees, her stomach, and then her face. There's about 2cm in between our lips,
"Are you sure you're ok with thi-"
