"I bet you thought something else was gonna happen based on how last chapter ended"

"Well yeah of course I did dummy"

"Remember I have the advantage woman" I laughed, closing the book and fake glaring at Leigh

"Because I'm in the bath?" She questioned

"Precisely" I chuckled as I stood up "I'm gonna go finish getting ready. Will you be okay?"

"I won't drown Y/n" Leigh laughed

"Great" I leaned over, pushing my lips out

Leigh looked up quickly pushing her lips against mine "Same thing tomorrow?"

"I promised didn't I?" I shook my head at her need to ask

Basically a few days ago during the week after I made her that bath since she wanted another one, to which I promised to make her a bath then we go watch the sunrise every morning

Only during workdays of course. She knows she won't be getting me up anytime soon if it's my off day off

Unless it's a day like this.

Date Night..

One that actually came pretty sudden. We were talking about our relationship very casually which also surprised me, I'm not sure it surprised Leigh, considering she was pretty cool about it all until I mentioned the date of course, after that she didn't know what to say

We agreed to take it slow and this was probably the best way. Apart from the very limited kissing and being near each other, I didn't get her demand to stay sleeping in separate beds, we did it as kids and even as adults. I ju..

"Hey" Leigh, yelled while tugging on my shirt

"Hey" I said back like I was paying attention

"You zoned out" She laughed, looking up at me "Go finish getting ready and so I can finish up here"

"I can help you finish" I grinned

"Y/n" She glared up at me "Just go get ready so we can go, I don't wanna be out super late"

"I was actually hoping we could stay out a little later"

"Y/n" Leigh lowered her tone

"Hear me out, hear me out" I put up my hands "I wanted to take you to the movies afterwards, even though my memory was..

"No" Leigh said sternly as she looked away from me and into the water. She really meant it and she wasn't changing her mind

"B...

"Just go get ready Y/n" She said, not looking up at me again

"Alright" I nodded

I just wanted us, or more her to have fun but I think this stupid condition has ruined the movies for us

"I'll be out in a few" She assured me

"Sounds good" I turned, heading out the bathroom and back to my room, looking at my clothes neatly sitting on my bed. I was ready hours before but stopped to give Leigh attention, something she doesn't always want and I still give her anyways "I should call Jade" I took a deep breath dialing her number and letting it ring

"What's up buttercup?"

"Weird way to answer the phone but hi Jade" I laughed as it looked like she was in a good mood

"I'm in a good mood" She shrugged "Thanks to Hailee"

"What happened?" I asked

"She basically gave me a Mother's Day. She thanked me for just being her mother basically. Everything from raising her to helping her become a woman"
