Recap:

"Thanks for asking me to stay."

I breathed a soft, breathless laugh as I closed my eyes, my body sagging with exhaustion.

His fingers touched my face and I re-opened my eyes. He moved so that his eyes met mine. I smiled at him, before kissing him softly. I placed my hand against his chest, feeling his rapid heartbeat thumping underneath my touch.

"I'm glad you're staying, too."

-----------------------

Warmth engulfed my entire body as I slowly open my eyes, to see Hayden's tanned arm securely wrapped around my body. I have my head buried in his chest, enabling me to hear his deep, even breathing.

I tilt my head back, kissing the bottom of his chin softly, loving how soft and smooth his skin feels.

He stirs, opening his sleep eyes, giving me a slow smile. "Good morning."

"Morning," I reply, my voice a little raspy.

"How are you feeling?"

"Amazing," I smile, kissing him softly again. I was never much of a morning person but having Hayden here changes everything. "You?"

"Never better," he grins, pushing me back so that his body was on top of mine. "What are we doing today?"

I shrug, reaching out and tracing my finger lightly down his jaw, loving how beautiful he looks of a morning. His hair is ruffled, his eyes slightly droopy, his face relaxed.

"All I know is I need a shower and to brush my teeth," I tell him, covering my mouth, not wanting to blast him with my morning breath.

He rolls his eyes. He moves back to his previous position and high-tail from the bed and when I'm standing, I realise I have no clothes on. I glance down at myself.

"I'm naked."

"I know."

"Can you not watch while I walk to the bathroom?"

"I am definitely watching," he teases.

Letting out a huff. As I walk, I am surprised at the soreness I felt between my legs. I let out a slight groan as I lean into the shower cubicle to turn the hot water nozzle on.

I step inside and sigh dreamily. Last night had been perfect. Well, the part when we came home that is. I didn't really appreciate finding out that my mum is dating the infamous Carrie's father.

I am halfway through brushing my teeth when I hear the door open. Drawing my eyebrow up, I watch Hayden walk in and open the shower door. I almost choke on my toothpaste as I take in his magnificently perfect body. My eyes roam over every inch of it as he steps inside.

"Mind if I join?"

"Do I get a choice?" I laugh although my words are muffled.

"Nope."

"Want a kiss?" I ask, giving him a big, toothy smile, knowing that my mouth is completely covered in paste.

"Ah, no thanks... I can wait."

"Are you sure?" I ask tauntingly, moving closer.

Before he has time to react, I press my foamy lips to his, smearing the toothpaste across his mouth.
