Merry Christmas to my dear readers, it has been months since I have published my first ever story on this website, this being that one, and I am glad that it has gotten the followers and favorites that it has. I am very thankful for you, the readers, that encourage me to keep on going. So for your awesomeness and for actually reading past the first chapter I give you this, a christmas "bonus" chapter. Now I know it's not an update and I wish it was but frankly I have hit a wall. I know what I want to write but the problem is actually finding the right words to convey it. So I am putting this story on a temporary hiatus, now I refuse to drop this story and that shall not happen. I am just going to go back and correct some mistakes that I made (ones that I found as I reread my previous chapters) and then I will post a new chapter. Thank you for your patience, and happy holidays.

June

I was content right now; I finally broke my record for wall climbing, had just accomplished a good workout, finished all the paperwork that needed to be done for this quarter and the next, and (the one I am most proud of) here I am snuggling with Daniel on my couch. I would have never imagined the day that I would prefer to relax and cuddle instead of catching bad guys.

Frankly I blame this idiot, he just waltzed into my life and decided to take all the walls I built up and knock it down. And as if that wasn't enough, he had the audacity to intrude into my sacred sanctuary (talking about when he broke into my house) and mess with my schedule. He ruined the main things that I thrived on ... and I couldn't be happier. He is an idiot, but I wouldn't even dream of changing a single thing about him.

So here I am, with this idiot as we share a beautiful moment of silence. With his arms around my waist and mine around his, while our legs are tangled, we bask in each others' presence. I slowly turn around and look up at him as he looks down at me and we just stare at each other. Then I break away from it and crash my lips to his, but it isn't a passionate kiss but a slow loving one that conveys all my feelings to him. My trust, my faith, my hope, and my love.

We slowly pull apart as Midnight jumped right on my stomach, knocking the air out of me and breaking the moment. I smiled down at the cat and pet her and she purred in delight at the attention she was receiving.

"You know, that cat does it on purpose." Daniel then narrowed his eyes at me, "and you encourage that behavior."

I huffed, "No I do not."

"Yes you do, you're doing it right now. Instead of pushing her off you cave to her will, which just encourages her to do it again because she gets the desired results."

I laughed, "Okay mister cat trainer, I will keep that in mind next time you want to cuddle."

A look of horror crossed his face as he gasped, "You wouldn't dare."

I grinned, "Oh but I would, I would dare. It is the same concept; take now for example, I was doing my work when you came in through the window and dragged me away, forcibly if I might add, and dropped me on the couch. But I let you indulge in it and just went along with it, so to correct this bad behavior next time I will push you off and walk away," I looked at him for a second and started to get up, "Starting now, come on let's go Midnight."

Daniel growled out, "No you're not." as he pulled me back down to him. "You are staying right here." he continued as he nuzzled my neck.

I let out a sigh and sank back into him, "Fine you win, can you just stop nuzzling my neck."

I could feel his grin on my skin, "Nope." he replied while popping the "p".

I let out another sigh, as he said before; he is an idiot but he is my idiot.
