Veronica's eyes fluttered open. Still slow from sleep, She groggily turned her head and looked at her alarm clock. Bright crimson numbers read 8:13am. Ugh, she was so glad it was Saturday. And even more glad that her boyfriend lay asleep beside her. She turned to look at him and smiled softly. He looked so... peaceful when he was asleep.

"Good morning..." He whispered as he shifted his position into his back.
"Morning, sleepyhead. Time to get up."
"Nooooo... but it's Saturday." He pouted, causing Veronica to snicker.

"I'm not cute, I'm manly."
Veronica snorted.
"You're just like a baby, I swear."
"Yeah but you love meeeee..."
She chuckled.
