''Mm, how long have you been up?''

Devin Greene smiles up at Jeffery Atkins droopy eyes that haven't quite yet adjusted to the immense lighting entering the bedroom early that morning. In a subtle motion, she shakes her head and whispers almost breathlessly, ''Not long.''

A corner of his lips quirk into a vague smile while looking down at her. Her legs tangled with his under the covers and her arms clung all around his torso as her head rested on his bare chest.

They weren't like that for the whole night of course. The slept facing opposite directions spite from how tired they became the night before. They just happened to roll around in their sleep and ended up in this position.

A soft lock of her hair was being fiddled in his index finger. He found it so entertaining, the way her hair would unravel after it's been twirled and just falling back against the pillow. She hummed positively against his touch, enjoying the fact that he was playing with her.

''What do you want to do today?'' His horsed morning voice asked with a raised brow.

She whines a small protest. ''Can't we just stay in for the day?''

His chest vibrated against her ear as he chuckles briefly. ''We leave tomorrow night, though.''

''We'll go all out tomorrow then,'' She clings to him tighter. ''I'm comfortable here.''

He couldn't waver the grin conquering his features. He enjoyed the fact that his girlfriend rather spend quality time together instead of having the others around for a plan. ''But..'' He began to counter but watched as she shook her head vigorously against his argument.

''No,'' She mumbles, pursing her lips into a frown.

''The others-''

''Not my problem.''

''One of them is your brother?'' He states curiously.

She rests her chin on his chest to meet eye contact. ''Your point?''

''What are they gonna do?''

She shrugs her shoulders. ''They're big kids, they can figure it out.''

''Dev,'' He scolds warningly.  The corners of her lips drag out into another frown, begging with just those dull brown eyes as a way to win her case. But she knew she couldn't leave the group hanging. She was the one who suggested they all should come down here.
