Another night passed where your insomnia kept you awake - you rolled over to peaked over Ben's shoulder at his alarm clock '4:30 am' glowed red across the digital screen - you laid on your back sighed at yourself
"Why can't I sleep," you said quietly to yourself,
You heard a muffled groan come from Ben's side of the bed, you turned your body to face him - god he was so angelic - his soft dark waves laid on the pillow, it was like looking at a painting - you reached your hand up to caress Ben's face, running your thumb over his bottom lip - "my sleepy baby" you whispered to yourself
"My baby, shouldn't you be asleep" Ben groaned out, his voice rough with sleep
"I'm trying, now go back to bed" you laughed softly, while your hand caressed Bens chin.
Ben's hand held yours for a moment, opening his sleepy eyes to look at you - he turned his head slightly to look at the clock and then back to you
"There's no point for me to go back to bed baby, I'll be in an hour anyways" Ben yawned - than quickly pulling you into his arms so your flat against his chest
"baabbbe" you whined
"Yessss" Ben sleepily teased
"Get some more sleep before work, you have a long day ahead of you" you looked up at Ben
Ben let out a tired laugh "I'll cut you a deal baby - I'll go back to sleep if you do me a favor" Ben said softly
"I'm all ears Benny" You nuzzled into his chest with an eager smile
Ben opened one eye and looked at you - "play with my hair till I fall asleep?" Ben smiled
"Well, of course, I can babe" you smiled
You reached your hand up placing it on Bens hair - you ran your fingers through a few pieces of hair that fell into Bens face, pushing them to the side - god his hair was soft, and slightly curled. You tangled your fingers into Ben's hair - twirling the different strands between your fingers, within 5 minutes Ben was fast asleep again, the sound of his soft snores brought you comfort - your eyes started to become heavy as your hand still played with his hair. Your heavy eyes finally closed - your breathing was shallow and calm, you felt peaceful.
"My angel" Ben whispered in your ear
Your eyes open slightly enough to see Ben hovering over you -
"Yes baby" you yawned
You reached your arms up to stretch - wrapping your arms around the back of Ben's neck, causing him to collapse on top of you - Ben started laughing as he tried to get out from your grasp but you were reluctant on letting go
"Baby I have to go - I was coming to give you a kiss goodbye" Ben laughed
Your arms loosened enough for Ben to kiss you, it was soft and sweet - one of your favorite kisses - your legs instantly wrapped around Ben's waist
"What time is it?" You asked softly
"It's 7:30 my love, but if I don't go now I'll be late for work," Ben said softly as he pulled back from the kiss
You removed your arms from his neck but kept your legs wrapped around him -
"Angel" Ben said while pointing a finger at your legs
"Yess?" You said innocently - as if you had no idea what he meant
Ben took a breath in a smiled - "I can never get enough of you" Ben said softly as he leaned down to kiss your forehead
You stuck out your bottom lip and 'pouted' - "You're so cute" Ben laughed as he unwrapped your legs - "I'll be home in no time baby, just get some more sleep okay" Ben said as he got off the bed
"Have a good day at work - I love you" you said softly as you sat up on the bed
"I love you too angel" Ben smiled
