When I woke up that morning I slowly opened my eyes and when my brain finally registered what my eyes were seeing, it put a huge smile on my face. Only inches away was the most adorable thing I had ever seen. There she was, laying peacefully with her head on the pillow, her hair casually draped on her shoulders. Her eyes were closed and she was still fast asleep. I sighed happily. How did I ever get this lucky?

I just stared at her while she was breathing in a slow rhythm. When I moved my arm a little bit she stirred but didn't wake up. Instead, she moved in her sleep taking her left arm out from under the covers and draping it over my body, on my hips. Well, that was something I could get used to.

I studied her arm and my eye fell on a scar she had, right above her elbow. It was an old scar, healed a long time ago, but still somewhat visible. I gently traced it with my fingers, trying not to wake her up. It was about 2 inches long, and by the sight of it, it had been an ugly cut. While I ran my fingers over it, I found myself eager to know how she got that scar. I'm not really sure why, but I think it was because I really didn't know anything about her. Not much anyway. And I didn't like that. I wanted to know everything. From where she grew up, to what her favourite dish was, and, how she got this scar. I felt it was a piece of her life, like everything tells a story. And because I wasn't around when it happened, I wanted to hear the story. I wanted to hear them all, just because they were about her.

I looked at her face again, taking in her features. She stirred a little again and I kept silent. Not that I didn't want her to wake up, but I kinda liked looking at her like this. Getting to know her in this way, just looking. My wish was granted, her eyes remained closed and I had the pleasure of staring at her in awe for just another couple of minutes.

About twenty minutes of staring later, Katie moved again and this time she did open her eyes. I smiled at her still sleepy gaze, it was very cute. When she saw me she smiled too. Suddenly I had two arms around me and I was pulled into a tight embrace.

"Oomph." I muttered while she squeezed my breath out of my lungs.

She let go of me, but still had her arms around me. I saw a goofy grin on her face.

"You do that every morning?" I wondered.

"No actually, I'm usually alone, and hugging my pillow would be kinda weird." she countered.

I chuckled. "You know, I think that would be kinda weird. But you could always hug your teddy bear."

"Nah, too small. And besides, I prefer you anyway." she said playfully.

"So that…" I didn't get anything else out of my mouth because suddenly her lips were on mine. Not that I remembered what I was going to say, but anyway. She kissed me passionately and I felt a shiver go through me. Slowly she pulled back.

She lifted her arm and traced my cheeks with her fingers. "Now you can't do that with a pillow, could you?"

"Hmm?" I got out.

She chuckled to herself. "Well, you could do that with a pillow, but again with the weird factor."

"Right." I came to my senses. Now you don't give me a kiss like that and get away with it so I leaned in and gave her some of my own.

My hands decided they were not a part of my body so they did some travelling. My right arm trailed from her neck to her back and sides and slipped under her PJ's. The feeling of her skin underneath my hands made me all tingly inside and judging from the soft moan that escaped her mouth I knew she was enjoying it herself as well.

We slowly parted. "Now that's what I call waking up with an attitude." she said playfully.

I smiled and nuzzled my face in her neck. "Does that mean you like waking up like this?" I said as I placed sweet kisses here and there.

She laid her head back as she closed her eyes. "Well, you're ehm… kind of making it hard for me not to."

"Oh, really? That's good to know." I said with a grin while I placed my head comfortably on her shoulder and snuggled up to her. She put her arms around me and we remained quiet for a few minutes.

"I could stay here forever." I said after a while.

"Hmm, yeah." she mumbled. "We probably shouldn't though, I mean, I would like to graduate one day."

"Really? Ah, that's too bad." I complained.

She chuckled. "You know what? Forget it. I like this better anyway. Degrees be damned."

"There you go. But ehm, what if I have to pee?" I countered.

"Well, you're just gonna have to hold it up."

"No pee-break?" I asked.

"Nope."

"Well, I can't hold it up forever. I'm gonna wet the bed. And you're gonna wet the bed." I looked up at her and wrinkled my nose. "It's gonna be a stinky mess."

She laughed out loud when saw my face. "Well, we don't need no stinky messes. I guess we can't stay here forever after all." She looked at the clock.

"And since we've established that, what would you say if I said breakfast?" she continued.

"I'd ask you what you had in mind." I said.

She grinned and suddenly she got up. I groaned in protest, since my pillow was escaping me. "Where are you going?" I asked.

"You'll see." she said as she quickly put on a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt. She did that really fast but I had to swallow away a lump in my throat when I saw her body. It was absolutely beautiful. "Just wait here for a minute, I'll be right back." Before I could reply she was out the door.

I just laid there, in surprise. "Right." I said to myself, chuckling.

What the hell is she up to? I was very curious so I just stayed where I was and waited for her return. My mind drifted back to last night. We had spent almost the entire time making out. In between the making out sessions we had talked about what we wanted to do and I had learned she wanted to become a lawyer. I figured that would be something she could do well, because she had a way with words. I was sure, that if she called on her charms, she could talk an Eskimo into buying an ice cube.

I was musing away for about 5 minutes when suddenly the door opened and Katie walked in, slightly out of breath.

"Where have you been?" I wondered, while she placed a bag on her table.

"I got you breakfast." she said cheerfully. She walked over to a cabinet and took out two plates and she grabbed some stuff from the fridge. Then she started unpacking the bag and placed the stuff she got out on the plates.

"You went out for breakfast?" I asked. "You didn't have to do that."

She turned her head. "Of course I do. You're my guest, I have to get you a proper breakfast."

"Well, you didn't have to go out to get it." I answered. "But that's so sweet." I said warmly.

She turned around and carried the plates over to me. "Well, I happen to be very sweet." She sat down next to me. "And I realized I didn't have anything to eat except for peanut butter, so I didn't really have a choice." she added with a goofy grin.

I chuckled. "Ah, you should have left out the last part."

"Really? I never know when to shut up." she said playfully.

I leaned a bit closer to her. "Ah, that's just cute. And it doesn't matter, I still think very highly of you on the sweet-scale." To prove it I kissed her gently. When we pulled back she was looking at me with that goofy grin again. I could really get used to that face, it was adorable.

We turned out attention to our plates. The sandwiches she got were delicious and we enjoyed the meal while chatting about all kinds of stuff. Unfortunately, time does fly when you're having fun, and I realized I had to be getting back to my own room. I didn't want to leave, but Grace, my sister who was in town for my birthday, was at my place, probably wondering where exactly I was and what I had been up to.

"I should be going home." I said reluctantly.

"Yeah, I guess." Katie said, a little disappointed.

"My sister is in my room right now, and she might get worried or something, so I should be heading back." I explained.

She chuckled. "Well, with the way you handle yourself in a fight, I would say she doesn't have to worry at all, but you are right. I mean, if she is here to visit you, I totally understand."

"Yeah, I don't wanna go, but I really should." I searched her eyes. "But we could do something tonight." I offered. "If you want."

Her face lit up. "Hey yeah, we could have our first official date tonight." she said.

I smiled. "I like that idea. So where will we meet?"

"I could pick you up." she suggested.

"Well, you could, but you don't know where I live."

"I will if you tell me." she grinned. "I'll pick you up, just like it should on a first date."

I grinned back. She seemed set on the idea of picking me up, which I found very cute, so I told her where she could find my dorm.

"But I really should get going now." I said reluctantly. She nodded in understanding and I got up. I started gathering my clothes. I wondered if I should go to the bathroom to change, but I decided not to. After all, I got a sneak peak too. When I was done changing, I turned around and looked at Katie, who was sitting on the bed with her mouth open. I chuckled and walked over to her.

"Why, were you just checking me out?" I asked playfully while she followed me closely with her gaze.

She cleared her throat. "Of course not. So I'll see you at, say, seven?" she said, trying to sound casual.

"Seven is good, and I know you were checking me out." I said, while giving her a sweet kiss.

"Yeah, well, you're one to talk." she answered. "Don't think I didn't see you looking at me earlier." She grinned and planted another kiss on my lips.

"That's because you're just irresistible, so I am not to blame." Our lips found each other again and we lost ourselves for a few minutes and I felt my heart racing. I figured I would never get out of here this way so I had to tear myself away from her.

"Ok, so I'm going now." I muttered a little out of breath.

"Ok." she said as we walked towards the door. However, before we reached it, we were locked in a passionate kiss that again lasted for several minutes and we slowly parted.

"So this is me going." I stumbled. She looked at me with hungry eyes and her lips were a little swollen from the kissing. Aw, man, this is just mean. How am I supposed to ever leave?

I managed to reach the door and Katie quickly leaned over and opened it for me.

"I'll be at your place at seven." she said smiling.

"Alright, I'll be ready." She gave me one last kiss. "Bye." she said.

"Bye, see you tonight." With that I turned and walked towards the exit. When I got outside my heartbeat was still in my throat and with a huge smile on my face I headed home.
