🍪Ellie's P.O.V

The second time I woke up, I felt much better and it turned out that Alec indeed kept to his word.

I was currently on my stomach, my chin resting on my palm as I stared at his sleeping figure next to me. He had one of his arms behind his head while the other laid at his side.

I couldn't help but gulped lightly, his arms doing that delicious flex in that position and we haven't even gotten to the best part.

My eyes drifted to his bare torso, his toned and tattooed body completely exposed for my eyes to feast on. Despite being a yummy piece of chunk, Alec's face was the complete opposite.

He looked ethereal with his long thick lashes gently kissing his closed eyes, his hair was a tousled messy and his mouth slightly ajar; a wisp of air leaving his mouth as he exhaled.

I bit my lip, stopping myself from smiling at seeing a hint of bruise on his cheek. HA! Take that Alec! These arms may seem like matchsticks but these sticks can pack a mean punch!

I scooted closer at him, bringing one of my hands up and started playing with his hair. The temptation was strong and besides, its better than playing with his hair than licking his abs.

My hand drifted down to touch his closed lids, feeling jealous at how his eyelashes were so long and curled at the end.

Boys seriously have it easy, I thought.

My pointer finger gently traced the bridge of his nose before my hand went to his cheeks, a hint of freckles dusted on his nose and his cheeks if you looked closely.

My hand continued its journey and followed his cupid bow before pausing, my finger hovering over his lips.

I shrugged, gently tracing his top lip before moving to the lower one. I let out a surprised yelped when suddenly his teeth gently nipped my finger.

I glanced up, meeting the electrifying gaze of Alec. I gave him a sheepish smile at being caught, pulling my hand away but was stopped when one of his free hand took a hold of it and gently placed it back to his hair.

He let out a sigh when my hand continued playing with his hair, his eyes closing in bliss. I couldn't help but grinned at his adorable manner.

"How do you feel? Does it still hurt?" He asked, his voice low and deep because of sleep.

"I feel much better and it doesn't hurt that much. I know I've said it earlier but still, thank you." I replied, bringing my feet up and occasionally bumping it against one another.

He hummed."We still haven't talk about what happened last night. Are you comfortable talking about it with the guys present?" He asked, opening his eyes to meet my gaze.

"Of course, are we going now?" I asked, making a move to sit up.

"No, just a little longer." He stopped me,"I miss being close to you." He confessed softly, his eyes carefully drifting across my face.

I raised a brow,"You should've thought about that before you agreed with that stupid solution." I remarked, an amused smile gracing my features.
