It was around 10:00 pm. Carlos and I were laying in our bed. I had my head on his chest. He was pulling a hand through my hair.

"Why did you do a break up prank on me anyway?" He asked

"Luke, Nick and I were playing truth or dare. It was a dare from Nick. We play a version where you have to do the dare or answer the truth."

"Makes sense. I thought you guys were just being assholes."

"Nick was. It was kinda funny though, everyone was so confused when I didn't sit next to you at dinner."

"I was too. I almost cried when you said you wanted to break up."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I don't want to lose you."

"I don't want to lose you either."

"I still can't believe I'm your first boyfriend."

"Why can't you believe it?"

"You're amazing. You're smart, kind and just so awesome."

'He really thinks all that? I didn't know he thought that.' I thought

"And you're beautiful." He added

I blushed bright red. I suddenly got really nervous. No one has ever called me beautiful before

"R-really? Th-thanks. " I stuttered

"You're cute when you're nervous."

I blushed even more.

"Stop complimenting me. It's making me more nervous."

"Why are you so nervous?"

"I've never really gotten compliments before."

"You should. You deserve them."

"I love you, Carlos."

"I love you too, Lexi."

He kissed me on the cheek. I smiled. He started to rub my back.

"Are you okay with this?" He asked

"I'm okay with it. I like it."

"That's good. I don't want to do something you're uncomfortable with."

"Thanks for checking with me."

"Of course."

I reached over and grabbed his free hand. He intertwined our fingers. We stayed like this for a few minutes. I soon fell asleep.

The next morning

I woke up earlier then usual. I heard Carlos' light snoring and realized I was up before him. I went to move but Carlos had a death grip on me in his sleep.

"Carlos. Wake up." I said quietly

He didn't move.

"Carlosssss."

He stirred slightly but didn't wake up.

"Carlos, wake up. You're crushing me." I told him

He slowly opened his eyes.

"What?" He asked still sleepy

"You're crushing me. Can you loosen your grip a little?"

He quickly loosened his grip. But still kept an arm on me.

"I'm sorry. Did I hurt you at all?"

"No. I'm fine. You just had a tight grip on me. I couldn't really move."

"Sorry. I guess I just don't want something to happen to you while I sleep."

"Nothing is going to happen."

"I'm just protective."

"I know. And I like it."

He smiled and kissed my forehead. I blushed slightly.

"You're cute when you blush." He told me

That just made me blush more.
