A/N: Hey guys! Anyone still there? I'm sooooo so sorry that this took so long! Time totally got away from me. I found a job, (Old news, been working all summer) so yay! But with that and school and studying and being so drained from all of that, the inspiration was swept clean out of me.

But here it is, if it sucks, let me know. I'm sorry because I'm still so very tired. But either way, please review and let me know what you guys think, we'll keep this moving right along and things are escalating quickly. I appreciate the love and attention this story is getting.

Disclaimer: I own no characters, people, yada yada yada. All mistakes are mine. Enjoy!

Troian's POV

Movement beside me pulls me from the depths of a deep sleep where I was dreaming of the raven-haired goddess, and it immediately pisses me off. So I grip the offending thing a little tighter and closer to me in order to stop its movements and sigh deeply.

When I realize the thing that was moving was Shay, I kinda have a mini panic attack. Only a small one. But because of my awesome skills, I simply let out a breathy "morning" like waking up to her is something we've done countless times.

I think I played that mighty well if I do say so myself. I mean, I did wake up practically spooning the woman - I view as the goddess who instantly stole my heart- and I didn't freak out! (That's my story so hush your face) Inside my head I was totally going "Holy shit, holy shit, what the fuck do I do?!" Shay probably thinks I'm a bit of a creeper though for it considering it's been silent for a minute without her response, but we can fix that. Hopefully.

Last night was incredible though. I'm 99% sure that she feels the same as me, even in the slightest inkling. Spending the night with her felt so natural.

*Flashback*

*Around 6 o'clock*

Shay's POV

I'm still kind of in shock that in just a couple of hours, Troian's going to be in my house. Oh, shit! I have to clean!

As I'm scurrying around cleaning my place, thinking about her, the universe must have heard my cheesing, cheek-to-cheek grin from the heavens, because my phone rings… (In the Blue's Clues mail song- yes I'm a dork, no need to dwell…or ever tell a soul). Picking up my phone from the coffee table in the living room, I see the cutest picture of Troian lighting up my screen, and my life, along with a text.

"Hey there stranger ;)-T" Adorable. I guess I'm not alone in the dork department.

Starting to think that my face is stuck with this smile I reply "Well hey yourself. Long time, no see :p-S"

"Yeah, I know right! So whatcha up to? We're still on for tonight right?-T"

"I'm getting the place ready for you, of course we're still on!-S"

"Aww, don't I feel special, you don't have to go through any trouble for me. I'm sure your place is pretty spotless anyway.-T"

"But of course you're special. I don't clean for just anyone. But once you start getting comfortable here, the special treatment shall cease.-S"

God, really Shay? Just ask her to move in why don't you.

"Lol, once I get comfortable you'll be begging me to leave ;)—T"

Ha! I seriously doubt that one. I almost find it ridiculous and creepy that after one afternoon together, that I already miss her. Screw the rules dammit! I'm going to work up the nerve to ask her out soon.

"Well, if you're so sure about that, why don't you get over here now so we can get it out of the way? Besides, you promised to buy me pizza!-S"

"Lol, I knew you were just using me for pizza. Oh, fine, if I must. I'll be over within the hour or so?-T"

"Sorry, but I do love me some pizza. It is what I live for. Sounds good. Shall I order while I await your arrival?—S"

"Oh, the way to your heart is it? Good to know ;p and sure, whatever's fine. See you soon-T"

"Always ;) ok, see you soon -S"

Shay's POV

Oh. My. God. I'm dreaming, I swear I have to be. Troian's in my bed. My bed! And she's totally cuddling me. Last night was perfect. She's perfect, which I knew, but damn the girl is perfect. You wouldn't be so cruel as to make me dream the most perfect non-date date I've ever had would you God? Because I don't think I could forgive that.

And she's talking to me. Right.

"Mmh, morning." I finally reply as I shift a little to let her know that I want to turn over. Once I get her to loosen her hold of me and I face her, I'm greeted with sleepy, content brown orbs smiling back at me. This is just ridiculous! No one should look as perfect as she does first thing in the morning. Her hair though sleep mussed looks like the perfectly tussled and sexy look, and she's glowing with the sun streaming through my curtains. Fucking glowing. And it's my mission to make her mine and to wake up like this every day until the sun stops being hot.

"How'd you sleep?" She says interrupting my inner monologue and ode to her beauty.

"Unsurprisingly amazingly. Your bed is made of clouds."

"Haha, that's great. Uh oh, sounds like you're starting to get comfortable. Do I need to force you out already?"

"Ugh, please, I was comfortable since I got here last night, good luck trying to get me out of bed, let alone out altogether."

As if I'd ever want to see her anywhere other than in my bed. Preferably with less clothing… I really need to make this woman mine. I feel like such a perv right now.

"Eh, I may just decide to keep you. You know you-uh…" I trail off cause she-uh, oh wow, she's now running her hand over my back. She's driving me crazy.

Troian's POV

She's definitely into me, I can feel her practically melt into my touch as I run my hand over her back softly. And that was all I needed to know.

"Hey, where'd you go just now?"

"Um, nowhere, I'm right here. With you." Suddenly the air surrounding is thick with tension. I mean, I would think that I would've noticed sooner, even though I'm not holding her anymore, we're still lying really close and our hands between us are nearly touching. Fuck it, I'm going for it.

"Yeah…With me." Yes, it is crazy fast, yes I barely really know her, and yes it's really only been like a day. But, I can't bring myself to care, because all I feel is this indescribable pull to be closer to her, like my heart has been aching for her presence, like she's this piece that I didn't even know I was missing.

I inch my hand a little closer towards hers and her snap to mine following their progression. I watch as she takes a deep breath and swallows as she closes the distance between our hands and rests on top of mine. This is happening, no going back now as I turn my hand palm up and our fingers effortlessly interlace.

Perfect fit.

Shay's POV

Perfect fit.

I don't know what just happened. We were practically slammed with this tension and I was slammed even harder with the urge to just have her.

It looks as though she's feeling the same thing if the way she's looking at me is any indication. I give her hand a gentle squeeze and lick my lips to try and find my voice. This is a make or break moment.

"Um, ahem, you-you know, I um had a great time last night, and since you're, you know, already comfortable and all, maybe you wouldn't mind staying a little longer?"

God, my heart is pounding in my ears. And I'm pretty sure it just ruptured and I've gone mad because I know she didn't just say…

"You know, that sounds amazing, but I was, uh, kinda wondering, or hoping really, that I'd get back home so that we both could get ready for tonight…"

Vague much? Unless.

"Ready for what?" Trying not to sound so desperately hopeful.

"To go out. Maybe dinner?"

YES! Wait, answer first, and then celebrate later.

"Like a, a date?"

"Um, yes. A date. With me. Shay Mitchell, would you go out, on a date, with me tonight?"

Instead of a verbal answer, I just, like the spaz I am, lunge forward wrapping my arms around her neck in a death grip hug.

"Haha, is that a yes?" She replies as she wraps her arms around my waist returning the embrace with an affectionate squeeze. I pull back with the biggest smile on my face as I breathe out a firm 'yes'

"You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this to happen."

"Probably as long as I have, which would be like the moment I met you." She says.

"Even though it's only been literally less than a week, it feels like it's been forever. I don't know what it is about you."

She reaches up and tucks a strand of hair back behind my ear and I shiver as she trails her fingers down my jawline as she draws her hand away. I grasp her hand again before it gets too far.

She smiles softly at me as she replies, almost in awe of what's happening, and at how quickly it's occurring. "I know, it's crazy, but I really couldn't help myself."

"Well, I'm glad for your lack of restraint, though you beat me to the punch, asking me before I could ask you. Not that I'm complaining." I giggle a little, ducking my head and feeling the heat cross my cheeks just slightly.

Her smile widens at seeing me blush and she takes her hand back to softly tilt my head up as she catches my gaze. "I'll keep that in mind, though I'll let you ask me the next time."

"You're so kind." I tease gently.

"I know, I am the one that willingly bought you pizza." The heaviness of the moment finally lifting to go back to our usual playfulness.

"This is true, I've got some catching up to do."

"It appears so Ms. Mitchell. Random side note, can I just say how beautiful you are? And that I can't wait for our date."

Well then. I knew she was charming, but now she's just trying to make sure my cheeks light on fire with permanent blush.

"As long as it goes on record that I think you're incredibly beautiful as well and that I feel the same way." She knows how to make a girl bashful around her doesn't she?

"And speaking of, I reluctantly must admit that we should probably get up, because I have a date to prepare for." She replies with a cheeky wink as she moves to get out of bed and stretches. The sliver of skin that appears as she raises her arms above her head with a cute groan makes me subconsciously lick my lips. Though, I snap my eyes back up to her face before she realizes how blatantly I'm checking her out.

"Ugh, you're right. But at least let me feed you before you go, start to repay the favor?" I say following her out and leading her through to the kitchen.

"Yeah, sounds good though I miss the bed of clouds already. Seriously, it's magic." She says as she settles herself at the kitchen table. I laugh and shake my head at her as I'm already scurrying around to make breakfast.

"Haha, you're crazy Troian, if my bed goes missing, I know exactly who to call."

"Who? Ghostbusters?" I playfully roll my eyes.

"You're a dork too, but it's cute."

"Says the person with Blue's Clues as her text ringtone." She retorts with a chuckle. I just stick my tongue out at her while I cook.

"Don't hate, respect the cuteness." She laughs, and though my back is turned, I can practically feel the eye roll and hear the 'and I'm the dork.'

"I heard that." I call over my shoulder with a glare.

"Yeah, yeah. You need help with anything?"

"Nah, I'm good thanks. You just sit and relax, I'm almost done."

It was the perfect morning, with the perfect girl. We just spent the next hour talking over the French toast and small bowl of fruit I made. When we were both ready after lounging about all morning, not watching the TV I turned to some random channel, I reluctantly walk her to the door around 10 o'clock.

"So, I guess I'll see you tonight? I'll pick you up at 7?" She asks as she meets my gaze from underneath long eye lashes.

"Yeah, 7 is perfect. Thanks for coming over last night and, you know, this morning."

"It was absolutely my pleasure. It was great." Then we're just standing there smiling at each other because we don't want to leave each other yet. After a minute though, I smile a bit wider at her and reach for the door, after a moment's hesitation I lean forward and place a kiss on her cheek, not lingering too long.

She seemed a little stunned and I would think that I broke her with the dreamy smile on her face, but she smiles that much wider.

"Bye Shay." She says softly.

"Bye Troian, until tonight."

"Until tonight."
