"I bloody hate these roads." Jamie groaned as another hour passed of them being at a complete standstill on the highway. They had been stuck for nearly four hours and had gone less than a mile. They both had begun to give up hope that they were going to be home that night.

"If you want I can drive Paige." She shook her head immediately.

"I'm fine Will. I just wish we would fucking move." His hand came out keeping her head from hitting the steering wheel as she groaned. "Just let me put myself out of my misery."

"Never Love." He said before his hand moved to grab hers his lips gently pressing to the back of it. "I do have to say though. All I want is a pizza and a bloody cuddle." She flopped back into the chair before she leaned over the console and carefully into him.

"Same." His lips pressed to her forehead. "You're sleeping for a week right?" He nodded before she laughed. "So am I."

"Good." He said against her skin. "A bloody day in and I'm already wanting to extend my trip. Paige you need to work your damn magic with Tony so I can be here more." She could feel his arm wrap around her gently as he spoke.

"I plan on it Bub. You have no idea how much I've missed having you around." His nose buried into her hair before he nodded.

"Trust me when I say I do. A phone call is not the bloody same." Her head tilted before her lips met his.

"No it bloody isn't." He chuckled softly before his lips met her nose. As their eyes met she could see him get lost as the sun hit her face perfectly. His hand came up, his thumb gently running along her cheek.

"You are so fucking stunning." Her lips pressed against his in a slow and blissful kiss. When she pulled away and went back to leaning against him she could feel his nose once again bury into her hair. "I'm so bloody lucky."

"Says you Will." He chuckled. "You are the best thing to ever happen to me Bub. You might not realize it but you really and truly are. Even with us being apart you've been my rock through it all."

"I don't think I would've made it through these past few months without you Stunner." Jamie leaned into him, she knew his words were coming from the heart and knew it was difficult for him to share them which made it that much more special. "Like honestly Love, you've been keeping me together for so long I don't know how or why you do it but I could never thank you enough. You are and always will be the best thing to ever happen to me." Her head tilted and her lips captured his. "I love you."

"I love you too." His lips pressed to hers for a brief moment before they both saw the cars in front of them begin to move. "Thank fuck." Jamie said as she carefully pulled out of his grasp.

"It's about bloody time." Will said with a laugh as she put the car into drive. Once they finally got moving he could feel her fingers lace with his. Carefully he moved her hand so he could gently kiss the back of it. "So tell me...." She said after a bit of driving. He looked at her his eyebrow raised before her hand separated from his. "When are you getting rid of this?" Her hand went up to his stubbly beard playing with it.

"Oh you bloody love it. Fuck off." She started laughing.

"You're right Bub. I bloody do." When she kept playing with his stubble, he tried to shoo her away but it didn't work. Without even hesitating he licked a bold stripe along her wrist. "Oh you ass." She said as her hand dropped and she wiped her wrist off on his shirt all while he laughed. She paused for a moment realizing what he had just done. "Wait... Did you just?" He shrugged at her words before he chuckled. She knew how he felt about licking. It was one of the things he absolutely despised doing or having done to him. Never licked an ice cream cone or lollipop as it set him off, so for him to lick her was just about unheard of. A cheeky grin appeared across her lips. "I'm changing you." He chuckled.

"Because you haven't already Stunner?" She looked over at him and he smiled at her. "Wouldn't change it for the world though Love." She couldn't help the smile that appeared along her lips. He looked at her before groaning as he sat back into his chair. "You're so bloody gorgeous." He could see her blush and couldn't help the fact that he was getting distracted by her.

"Will?" Jamie had finally pulled him out of his trance. Wills eyes flicked to hers.

"Sorry." He said quickly before she shook her head her fingers gently running along his jaw as her eyes went back to the road.

"Don't worry about it Love. Was just wondering if you needed to stop or anything?" He shook his head.

"Do you?" She shook her head as her fingers laced with his.

"I'm good bub. Just checking on you." His lips pressed to the back of her hand carefully. "What were you looking at?"

"You...." She looked over at him. "I'm sorry Love I can't help it. You just have that way with me." She shook her head as she laughed lightly.

"You just need some sleep William. You're going mental." He raised an eyebrow at her.

"Me.... You're the one that just called me William." Jamie laughed lightly.

"You know I love calling you William. It's you that hates it." Will chuckled.

"I've never said that. Actually don't mind when you call me it. But you're the only person." She looked over at him for a moment.

"You sure love?" He nodded at her words.

"Honestly it's only when Toni calls me William that it triggers me. There is something about when she says it that just gets to me." Jamie couldn't help but laugh.

"It's her accent. There are some things of hers that she says that do the same to me." She began to play with his fingers and she could see him sink back into the chair. It was something that soothed her adhd while slowly relaxing him. "You truly look knackered." He chuckled.

"I am. But it's worth it." Her fingers tapped along the tips of his as she continued to drive.

"Close your eyes Bub." He shook his head slowly.

"I'm fine Paige. Once I get some food in me and into your bed I'll sleep as long as I need." When she looked over at him again his eyes were closed. She knew she was putting him to sleep. "That's so mean." She was gently massaging his hand and she knew she was winning the battle. He was fighting to keep his head upright. "How much longer?"

"About two hours Love." She exaggerated slightly knowing it would get him to stop fighting it. "Just lean your chair back and sleep." He leaned the chair back slightly before his head turned towards hers. His tired eyes met hers.

"You sure?" She nodded.

"I'll be fine Bub. Honestly." He slowly nodded before his arm stuck out more towards her so it was easier for her to play with his hand. "I'll wake you up when we get there."

"I love you." He said quietly. Her fingertips lightly strayed along his palm.

"I love you too Will." As her attention moved fully back to the road her hand absentmindedly played with his. She could hear his breathing slow as his arm went limp. Jamie looked over and she couldn't help but laugh. In the short period that it took him to fall asleep his body had contorted. His chin was at his chest, his body slightly slumped into the center console. One of his legs was tucked beneath him while the other was completely outstretched. Anyone else would've thought he was uncomfortable but she knew better. Will could fall asleep in any position.

Slowly Jamie's hand moved so she could position his head back knowing the last thing he needed was a sore neck from sleeping wrong. His tired eyes opened for a moment, a grateful smile appeared on her lips before his eyes closed once more. When she saw him adjust and try to get comfortable again her hand came up carefully cupping his jaw before she guided his head to her shoulder. Her fingers ran through his beard as a long sigh escaped his lips.

"You're so bloody perfect." Though sleep filled Will's voice he meant every word he said. Jamie's head turned before her lips met his forehead. She knew he had fallen back asleep but it didn't matter.

"You mean the world to me."
