Connor tried to fight the process of waking up. He hated the crossover from sleeping to being awake, the crossover from dream to reality. Today, even more so, because of the dream he had: a dream about Abby.
Still half asleep, Connor turned to his side to cuddle up in the blanket a little longer. Instead of getting ahold of the edge of the blanket, his arm hit a body. Before he was able to move away, a hand grabbed his arm and the body cuddled into him. For a moment Connor was about to freak out, but then he breathed in a slight scent he knew well: Abby.
His eyes flew open and in the twilight of the dawn he could see that it wasn't his bed he was lying in. He was in Abby's room and it was really her who was sleeping beside him. A huge grin appeared on his face. Now this was even better than his dream.
Connor spent the next hour watching the sleeping blonde girl in his arms. Suddenly the alarm clock started to go off, he turned it off as fast as possible while trying not to wake Abby. He knew she could sleep another half an hour if he was first in the bathroom. Connor kissed Abby's head before trying to release his arm from her hand. Just when he was about to get out of bed, Abby opened her eyes.
"Good morning!" by the sound of her voice he could tell that she had been awake for a while now. "Did you just kiss my head?" Abby asked, trying to hide the smile from him.
Connor's heart skipped a beat in time. He felt like he was having déjà vu. They had just had the same conversation in Germany. "No, I told you, I would never kiss you." Abby turned on the light to see Connor's face turn bright red.
When Abby sat up in her bed, Connor decided the best thing to do would be to just leave. He stood up and walked to the door.
"Thanks for watching after me tonight!"
Connor turned around once more, "You're welcome! Any time!" he smiled weakly.
When Connor disappeared into the bathroom, Abby got up to prepare breakfast. She decided to make pancakes. They hadn't had them for a while now.
The moment the first pancake was done, Abby heard the bathroom door open. She put the pancake on a plate and the rest of the batter into the pan. Abby could feel Connor's eyes on her.
She took the plate and turned around and found Connor closer to her than she had thought. They were only inches apart.
"Breakfast is done!" She smiled at him while handing him the plate.
"Thanks!" but he didn't move, he couldn't take his eyes off her.
"Connor," Abby's voice was nearly a whisper. Addie's words, kept spinning in her head, 'Get you that boy!' "You know, it's too bad you would never kiss me, but would it be okay if I kissed you?" Abby smirked at him and before Connor could answer she took the plate away, placed her arms around his neck and pulled him closer.
The moment their lips met, neither of them could be happier.
