A/N: HELLO ALL!! I DIDN'T DIE! My computer did, though. It seriously hates me. I was going to update a week ago, but right when I was typing the chapter, it just turned off on me, and it hasn't turned on since. This isn't even my computer!! cries And to top it all off, THIS CHAPTER IS REALLY SHORT!! I am so sorry that you all had to wait for this little scrap of a story, but since I'm not in school anymore, maybe I'll write faster!! ...but don't get your hopes up. Vacation tends to make me extremely lazy... Thanks to all who reviewed, I have no idea who all that includes anymore, but just know that I acknowledge you all. BTW, a reader asked about Alex always saying "My pleasure." I have decided that it is in fact his catch phrase, so don't get annoyed if you see it a kagillion times. BOOOOOM!! :p ENJOY THE WIMPY CHAPTER!!

I opened my eyes slowly, trying to figure out where I was. It was still dark and the fire was burning its last embers.

'Fire…I remember that…and the warmth…' I lifted my head a little, but decided it was more comfortable in its original place…until that place moved. Suddenly the arms I didn't realize were around me pulled me closer. Blushing furiously, I looked up to see Alex's head right above mine, relaxed and handsome.

'…Is he still sleeping?' I slipped out my arm and poked his nose. He wiggled it around and settled back down. Giggling, I reached up and lightly moved my finger across his cheek. He frowned a little and moved his hand up to swat it away. I did it again, failing miserably to contain my giggles. When my hand touched his face, he frowned again, lifting his hand to swat it away…only he didn't. He gently took hold of my hand and opened his eyes, smiling sleepily down at me. He chuckled as I blushed, putting his forehead to mine and still holding my hand.

"How did you sleep?" he asked me, his dark eyes boring into my blue ones.

"Very…warm," I answered smiling. He grinned.

"Good." With that, he looked at his watch and laid his head back down. "It's still only five in the morning. Try to get some more sleep." I nodded, snuggling my head back into Alex's chest, Alex pulling me closer again.

"…Alex?"

"Yes?"

"I…" 'What do I say?! "I think I love you" is way too forward! But that's the only way I can describe how I feel…' I sighed, then smiled, "Thank you for everything." He smiled and chuckled.

"It is my pleasure, Amelia." He leaned down, his cheeks slightly red, and lightly kissed my forehead, sending shivers down my spine. "Definitely my pleasure," he whispered. I smiled and relaxed, trying to fall asleep again…

"Alex…Alex, wake up." I shook his shoulder, trying to wake him. I looked around to see our position. Alex's arms were around me, we were covered with the quilt, and we were lying on top of the other quilt in front of the fireplace.

"Come on Alex." I shook him again and he groaned. I sighed. "Men are so frustrating…" I ruffled his hair. "I can't get up until you get up." He opened his eyes sleepily.

"Who said I wanted you to leave?" I blushed and giggled a little.

"My stomach says. Come on, I'm gonna become anorexic if I don't get something to eat!" I whined, shaking his shoulder and pouting. He chuckled and sat up, pulling me up with him. Once again, his face was, like, two inches away from mine.

"Thanks," I blushed. He smiled and loosened his hold around me. Then my stomach roared, and Alex laughed.

"Your stomach is screaming now. Let's go feed it."
