"I'm so happy I have you now." He whispered into her ear. She had already fallen asleep but she knew. She knew he was happy to have her.

*The morning after*

She was still in his arms when he woke up the next morning. For the first time he had been awake before her, it was a nice opportunity to watch her. Watching her sleep was something he loved to do, she was adorable when she slept. The way she was pressed up against him, and the pieces of hair that stuck to her face. Pulling her closer he tucked a couple pieces of hair behind her ear. She really was amazing. The night the had spent on the boat was something he was never going to forget. The confidence she had shown and they way she had let herself go and experience something for the first time at 30 years old that most people already had by the time they were in college. Today was their last day away from the hospital and he wanted to spend it in bed with her. He woke her up by kissing a trail down her back. She moaned, rolling over to face him.

"Hi." She whispered.

"Hey." His fingers moved to the side of her head, letting his fingers trail from her hair down the side of her face.

"I can't believe I'm waking up next to you." She moved closer to him.

"I'm so glad you are." In the span of just over a week he had fallen for his best friend. They had gone from platonically eating lunch together in the hospital cafeteria to waking up in the same bed together. Would he be insane if he said he loved her? He did though. He was completely in love with this girl and there was no way of denying it. But if he were to tell her that he loved her would it freak her out? Would she feel the same way. On some level he knew she loved him. April wouldn't sleep with someone she had only kissed a week before. He spaced out thinking about every scenario that could possibly happen if he were to say those 3 words.

"Jackson, hey, what's wrong?" She looked up at him with her hazel eyes.

"What? Oh nothing." He kissed her sweetly.

"Ugh I don't ever want to leave." She groaned.

"I wanna stay here in our little bubble." Her fingers tracing over his chest.

She really had no idea how incredibly sexy she was. Even the littlest things would drive him crazy. He was crazy for her, and he wasn't even thinking when he let three words escape his mouth.

"I love you." Shit! He thought to himself. She stared at him, obviously shocked. Had he just fucked up their whole weekend?

"Really?" A smile formed on her lips.

"You really love me?" He really did. He loved her so much and he was glad she knew that now. Then he heard those 4 words he had been dying to hear.

"I love you too." She gave him a quick kiss but eventually let it evolve into a deeper kiss. Pulling herself ontop of him she peppered kisses all over his face.

"You love me." Her breathing was heavy.

"I do he replied kissing her again." He loved kissing her. He wanted to kiss her all the time. The way she was rubbing against him, and the fact that she wasn't wearing any clothes, made him want to pin her down right there and let her experience last night again. He began to let his hand wander down her thigh.

"Wait." She stopped.

"I um, I can't right now." She studderd.

"You can't what? April, are you okay?" He was concered about why she suddenly wanted to stop.

"I'm fine. It's just that last night… really took alot out of me."

"Did I hurt you? Oh my god are you okay?"

"I'm fine Jackson I'm just, really sore and I'm still really tired." She rested her head on his chest.

"We don't have to be back in Seattle till tonight. We can stay in bed all day if you want to." He wrapped his arms around her tiny body. She was so warm. How could such a tiny person create so much body heat? He planted a kiss on the top of her head. He could still smell the shampoo she had used after that night they had spent in the shower. Within a few minutes her breath evened out and he could tell she had fallen back asleep. Once he was certain she was asleep he whispered.

"I'm so glad you're mine now."

At some point they had fallen back asleep. She was still on top of him and he still had his arms wrapped around her. He hadn't even realized how tired he had been because when he woke up the next time there was rain hitting the window. He looked up to see two hazel eyes meet his.

"What are you doing?" His voice was still husky with sleep.

"Just watching you sleep."

"Have you been awake long?" He ran his hands through her red curls.

"No." Her fingers traced over the muscles on his chest. He abosultly loved when she absent mindedly touched him. She didn't even know the effect that she had on him.

"What time is it?" He leaned over to check the clock on the table.

"Just a little past one." The had fallen asleep for a while. It was nice to sleep together, he hadn't had anyone in his bed since Lexie and he forgot how nice it was to sleep next to someone.

"You want to get something to eat?" He asked her.

"Yeah, that would be great." She rolled off him and got out of bed. He could tell she was sore by the way she sucked in through her teeth. He hugged her from behind, letting himself support her.

"Hey, stay here." He whispered against her ear and planting a kiss against her neck.

"Mmmm.. okay."

He made his way into the kitchen, passing by the clothes they had thrown on the floor last night. Throwing on a pair of sweatpants he opened the fridge. There was some leftover pancakes and the picnic from last night. He grabbed the basket and another clean shirt and went back into the bedroom. She was wrapped up in a blanket.

"Are you cold? Here put this on." He handed her the shirt he had grabbed.

"Uh we didn't really have anything but I figured we could just eat our food from last night."

"Yeah, sounds good." She pulled the shirt over her head. He took a minute to observe her, sitting on the red sheets with his large seattle shirt on.

"What?" She smiled.

"Nothing."He shook his head.

"You look really sexy when you wear my clothes." He loved seeing her like that.

"Stop it no I don't, I look like a mess." He approached her, setting the basket down he tilted her chin up.

"April you look beautiful." He gave her a quick peck.

"Okay what do you want?" He pulled the basket up onto the bed and set it down in between them.

"I don't really care. I'm so hungry I'll eat just about anything."

"Here." He unwrapped a sandwich and handed it to her.

"Mmm, so when do you want to head back? I mean it won't take us a ton of time to pack up and I still want to shower before we leave." She announced, taking a bite of food.

"I don't know I guess we can just start getting ready and just leave when were done."

"Sounds good to me." They finished eating all the food.

"Alright." She said standing up.

"I'm going to go take a shower." He pulled her back.

"Do you mind if I join you?"

"Not really. But, I'm not in the mood to do anything." His head dropped to the side of her neck.

"Fine." He mumbled.

They threw away their trash and took a shower. It wasn't anything besides a quick innocent shower. By 3:00 they were ready to go back home.

"I don't want to leave." She whined as they put their things in the car.

"Me either."

"Hey, what do you want to do when we get back? Do you want me to drop you off at home-"

"Actually…" He cut her off.

"I was thinking you could stay at my place. We stayed at your place the last time, and I was thinking you could come stay with me. C'mon you've already got your car and all your stuff. We could stay in and watch some TV. It would be nice." He tilted his head a little bit.

"I would love to stay at your place."

They finished loading the car and began driving home. On the way home they disscussed how they were going to tell the others that they were kind of a thing now. It was going to be a little while before they told. It was going to be fun sneaking around, it was sexy. The idea of maybe being caught. They arrived at his apartment complex around 5.

"You ready?" He asked.

"Yeah."

She got out of the car and grabbed her overnight bag out of the back seat then threw it over her shoulder. Together they walked inside the large apartment complex. All he wanted to do was get her inside and pin her against the door. It seemed like it took 20 minutes to find the keys and unlock the door. Once the door was finally open he pulled her inside and pressed her against the door.
