Sophie's POV
"I missed you." I say as Paul and I lay beside each other and stare at the other.
"I missed you too, darling. How've you been?" he asks as he moves to get comfortable and he brushes his thumb across my cheek.
"Very bored, how about you?" I reply and a smile spreads across his face.
"Pretty lonely since I've been missing you." he responds in a sad tone and I nod and kiss his cheek.
The rule has been that I can only go to school and that's it, so I haven't been able to see Paul all that much which has been hard for both of us.
"Can I stay the night?" he whines and I laugh and shrug and we get under the covers.
"Won't your dad get suspicious?" I question and he shakes his head.
I shut my eyes and Paul shuts off the lamp and moves over to me to wrap his arms around me and I wrap mine around him. I tangle my legs with his and I feel him kiss the top of my head before I bury my face into his chest.
"Goodnight, sweetheart." I hear Paul say as our bodies meld with the others and we share body heat.
"Goodnight, Paul." I say with a yawn and I fall asleep there in his arms.
I wake up the next morning to still sleeping next to Paul and I smile at the sight of seeing him asleep. I yawn and move around and he wakes up and I laugh because that was my plan.
"It's only 7:30, why are we awake this early?" he says sleepily as he opens his eyes and I push his messy hair away from his eyes.
"You should probably get going before my parents catch us." I say and he whines with a frown.
"I don't wanna leave you." he whines as he buries his face into my neck.
"I know and I don't want you to leave either, but I can only imagine what horrible things my dad would say if he found us." I explain and he groans into my neck.
"What're your parents doing today?" he mumbles into my neck and I come up with an idea.
"They're both leaving around 9 for up north to spend time with friends, for the whole day." I answer and he nods.
"That's perfect then." he says and he pulls away to look at me and he kisses my forehead.
"We can hang out all day then." I propose and he nods with a smile.
My parents leave two hours later like they promised and they had no idea that Paul had been in my room since last night but he went to his house to change and shower quick as I did the same.
We eat breakfast after he comes back and I get out the things for cookies afterwards.
"Oo cookies, yay!" Paul exclaims in a happy tone as he walks up to me and I get the recipe out.
"No eating the dough." I order while I get a mixing bowl and a spoon out.
"But why not?" he whines and I laugh at his childishness.
"Cause then we won't have any dough to make the cookies with, you goof!" I reply with a smile and he groans and I get measuring cups and rest of the ingredients out.
"I'll let you measure the chocolate chips as long as you don't eat any." I say while opening the bag.
"You know I will, love." he responds and I shrug and pass him the chocolate chips and measuring cup.
I watch as he pours the chips into the metal cup and I smile at him furrowing his brows to get it just right. What a cutie.
I measure the flour and leave the sugar and eggs to Paul and once again I find him adorable when he measures the sugar and struggles to make it perfect. We're both such perfectionists.
"Paul!" I complain as I see him out of the corner of my eye dip his finger into the bowl and eat some dough.
"How could you expect me to not eat any, Soph?" he says with a laugh and I too laugh and shake my head.
We scoop the dough and roll it into balls to put on the pan and we put it in the oven to bake.
"What should we do until they're done?" I ask while I lean against the counter and Paul is licking the spoon that has cookie dough on it.
"I dunno, what do you want to do love?" he replies and he finishes the spoon and tosses it in the sink with the other dirty dishes.
"Hmm I dunno, let's go upstairs." I propose and he nods and we go upstairs to my room and I bring the kitchen timer with us.
I plop down on the bed and Paul grabs his guitar, which he brings everywhere and he brought here of course. I close my eyes and he starts to play a song that he wrote which I've heard once or twice.
"I woke up late this morning, my head was in a whirl. Only then did I realize, I lost my little girl.." he starts to sing in his perfect voice and he sits at the end of the bed.
"Do you think about her often?" I allude to Paul's mum after he finishes the song and I open my eyes to look at his soft face.
"Not much anymore I suppose, but on occasion i do." he replies sadly and I nod.
I can't even imagine what it must like to lose your mum at such a young age that he did, 14.
"I wish you could've met her, I know she would've been happy I met such a sweet girl." he goes on and he flashes me a weak smile.
"I bet she was lovely and she did a great job raising her two sons." I speak and his weak smile stays but fades and his eyes drift to his guitar that sits in his lap.
"The only thing she ever wanted for me was to be happy in life and I'm so glad I found you, cause you make me beyond happy Soph." he sweetly says and I smile at him.
He crawls over to me after setting his guitar carefully on the carpet floor and he pulls me onto his lap and wraps his arms around me. He rests his chin on my head and I snuggle into his body and close my eyes while I'm in a content state. I feel him rub my back as I listen to his soft breathing and his heart beating and he strokes my hair.
"You make me really happy too, you know." I say, interrupting the silence.
"That's good to hear, I hope I make you happy because I really try and I always want you to be happy." Paul says softly and he kisses the top of my head and I look up at him with a smile.
He smiles back at me as his hazel eyes bore into mine and he leans down for a sweet peck.
"I'm happy you're my girl." he says after the kiss and my content smile stays.
"I'm happy I'm your girl too." I add and his beautiful smile shows bright and so does mine.
