(A/N: hey there everyone! Sorry it took so long, but I'm going through a funk, dunno what else to do. Bleh, it sux. But anyway, have a nice time with this chapter! It's short, but hopefully it'll tide you over until I get off of my writer's block.)

Misty groaned softly and yawned quietly, starting to stir out of her heavenly sleep. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and set her gaze on Ash's sleeping form. He had his arms loosely wrapped around her bare waist and he slept peacefully. His hair covered his eyes, and there was a slight smile on his face. Misty smiled brightly; she could hardly believe what had happened between them yesterday. She knew that he couldn't believe it either. She hooked his hair behind his ears and kissed him gently on his lips, trying to be sure that he didn't wake him up. He groaned slightly and snuggled close to Misty. She wrapped her arms around him and rested her head in his hair.

"Sweetheart, I love you so much." Misty mumbled to him, Ash mumbled back,

"Love you too…." He kissed her neck, yawning slightly. Misty hugged him tightly, Ash groaned again, starting to become more active. He moved to get comfortable, waking up and yawning, burying his head into her shoulder, "Uhn…Misty?" Misty squeezed him tightly, kissing the top of his head,

"Yes Ash?"

"Did I hurt you?" Misty smiled and kissed the top of his head again.

"Of course not, and I know you didn't mean it. I mean it hurt at first, but that all soon changed. You shouldn't have been so scared."

"I couldn't help it Misty, I love you with all my heart, I wouldn't be able to bear it if I hurt you." Ash rubbed his eyes and finally took his head from her shoulder, looking up into her eyes. "I don't want to hurt my future wife." He smiled at her, she kissed him, and he kissed her back,

"I know, but I wasn't hurt, so you don't have to worry about it, alright?" Ash nodded his head, yawning again. Misty stretched her arms over her head and yawned as well.

"Should we get up?" Ash asked her, Misty smiled, shaking her head.

"Why? I want to enjoy this moment for as long as I possibly can, don't ruin it for us." Ash smiled at her,

"Okay, honey. We can stay here as long as we want to, besides…" He snuggled close to her, "You're so warm." Misty chuckled, snuggling tightly against him.

"Yeah, so you've told me." She sight happily, Ash rolled over on his back and pulled her on top of him, "Eek!" She gasped as he pulled her on top of him; she looked down at him, blushing. He stroked her face gently and leaned up, kissing her.

"Misty…my god you're so beautiful. I never thought I would see you ever again. I've never felt so lonely in all of my life. You are the most important woman in my life. I'd give up everything just for you." Misty blushed,

"You don't have to give up anything, just stay with me and that'll make me happy." She kissed him and he kissed her back. "I didn't think you could speak so seriously Ash, that really surprised me." Ash grinned at her,

"Well, me either, but after last night, I've changed about a lot of things." Misty looked at him funny,

"Changed things? Like what?" Ash smiled and kissed her nose,

"About what I could do to keep you safe. And that if you say you're alright, I shouldn't be as protective of you… You've proven that to me more times over these past few days than ever before." Misty smiled at him,

"But Ash, I want you to be protective of me, then I can show you how much I 'appreciate' it." She giggled, Ash smiled and kissed her forehead, holding her tightly against him and yawning.

"Misty, last night was great…" He started, "It's something I'd love to repeat. Although your sisters won't appreciate it if we leave a mess." Misty laughed.

"Ash, you pervert!"

"Only around you honey." He stretched and yawned again, the yawn became contagious, and Misty yawned as well. Misty got off of him and sat up, rubbing her eyes. She smiled and ruffled Ash's hair. "Agh! Hey!" Ash grabbed her hand and tackled her on her back, starting to tickle her. She laughed hard and tried to push him away, her arms going weak and she tried her best to crawl away from him. He kept her in place and kept tickling her until she was out of breath. She growled playfully and punched him lightly in the gut, then leaned up and kissed him passionately. He kissed her back and rolled on top of her, gently pinning her hands to the bed. Misty blinked, kissing him again and breaking away,

"Wha…again?" She breathed out as he started to kiss her down her neck,

"I can't help it." He replied between kissing her, "Ya drive me insane." Misty smiled,

"Well, we gotta keep it down, don't want anyone hearing."

"Gotcha." He whispered, kissing her again, but they were interrupted by a knock at the door,

"Misty, are you awake?" Misty groaned quietly and tried to get up, but Ash kept her down, kissing her neck, she struggled slightly.

"Uh…yeah, I'm awake." She said to one of her sisters beyond the door, they all sounded alike, so she couldn't figure out which one of her sisters it was. Ash grinned, licking her neck and starting to kiss lower and lower, running his hand in between her legs. She gasped and held down a moan, the person on the door didn't hear,

"Well, do you know where Ash around? I heard he wanted to talk to all of us." Misty finally managed to push Ash away,

"Yeah, he's in here sleeping, he probably won't be up until a while later."

"Alright then, I'll be around." The person left, Ash rolled onto his stomach and looked at her, pouting.

"Awwww…Misty you're not fun." Ash said as he rested his head into his hands. Misty turned on her side and squeezed him with one hand.

"Do you really want people to hear us doing this? You know how loud I can get." She giggled, Ash smiled and nuzzled his head into her neck,

"I know, so we should save it for another time, just so it can be special to us, maybe we can hold off until our wedding night or something." He yawned, "For now, let's just skip breakfast and take a nap."

"Fine by me." She kissed his head; he turned over and opened up his arms for her. She smiled happily and crawled into his arms; he closed his arm tightly around her and kissed her, "Goodnight …err…good morning." She giggled and kissed him back,

"Morning, sweet dreams." Soon both of them fell asleep in each other's arms.
