I wake up, yawning and stretch out my arms. I try to get up but I'm pulled down by a heavy weight around my waist.

I look under the covers to see a tatted arm wrapped around my waist.

Fuck, he's not supposed to be in here.

I gently and slowly pry his arm off of me. I slip out of bed and I walk into the bathroom that's next to the guest bedroom.

I shower and then I brush my hair. I brush my teeth too. I do my skincare and I walk out of the bathroom in a towel.

I head into Leo and I's bedroom. I search through our closet for an outfit to wear today. I don't feel like wearing anything nice and I just feel like wearing comfortable clothes.

I settle for a cropped light grey turtle neck and white sweatpants. I put on fluffy socks for my feet.

I walk downstairs and into the kitchen. I make myself a blueberry smoothie with some of the blueberries in the fridge. I sit at the counter and I scroll on Instagram.

I hear footsteps near the kitchen and a chin rest on the crown of my head.

"Good morning, baby." He says.

I ignore him completely. I stand up, taking my smoothie and phone with me, I walk into the living room to watch TV.

I hear him sigh behind me. I plop down on the couch and turn the TV on to my favorite show, Friends.

"My love, what did I do?" He asks, siting beside me on the couch. I could feel his eyes burning holes into the side of my head.

Keeping my eyes focused on the TV I say, " I saw you kiss that girl last night."

"What do you mean?"

I try hard to hold back my tears, "Y-you guys were k-kissing. You had your h-hands on her waist and her a-arms were wrapped around your neck." A tear slips from my eye but I quickly wipe it away before he could notice it.

He places his hand on top of mine. I try to snatch it away but he firmly keeps it planted there.

"Baby, she came up to me to try and get me to go home with her. I politely declined but she put her arms around my neck to try and kiss me. I was trying to pry her off of me and when you walked out, it looked like we were kissing but I promise, my love, we weren't." He explains.

I turn my head to look at him with tears in my eyes. He looks at me and I can see that he's telling the truth.

I throw my arms around him, hugging him tightly like he'll disappear any second. He hugs me back as tightly as I'm hugging him. I cry into his shoulder and he whispers sweet words in my ear to calm me down.

I pull back and look into his eyes.

"I'm sorry I slept in the guest bedroom. I just thought you got bored of me and you liked this other girl. I couldn't think clearly and I just needed space. I'm really sorry Leo." My voice cracks at the last sentence.

Leo holds my face with both of his tatted hands, "Love, I would never choose you for another woman. I could never do that to you. It pains me too much to even think about sneaking around with another woman. Okay? I will always choose you, Eleanor." When he said that, I stared up at the man in front of me. How can someone be so cold but have such a big heart?

He wipes my tears away with his thumbs and kisses my forehead.

I love you. I wanted to say it but I feel like it's too early. Does he even love me? I think he loves me. I hope he does because I love him.

"Thank you." I smile up at him and he softly smiles at me. My heart flutters at this.

"You're welcome, baby." I blush at the pet name.

He chuckles and kisses my nose. My cheeks darken to a dark red.

"Fucking adorable." he whispers under his breath.

"Let's watch a movie, yes?" He asks and I nod. He lays back on the couch and pulls me on top of him so my back is to his chest. He hugs my waist and lays his hands on my stomach, rubbing his thumb slowly.

"What would you like to watch?" I ask Leo.

He grabs the remote and turns on Alice in Wonderland. I chuckled, expecting this.

Ever since I watched Alice in Wonderland with him for the first time, he has basically fallen in love with the movie. He puts it on whenever he gets the chance. It's honestly adorable watching him be so engrossed in a Disney movie.

We both lay with each other and watch the movie.

LEOS POV.

The movie just ended and it's the best, and it will always be the best, movie to exist. I turn the TV off and I hear light snores coming from a little human laying on top of me.

I gently and carefully lift Eleanor off of me. I carry her up the stairs and into our bedroom. Since she's already in her pajamas, all I have to do is lay her under the covers.

I strip from my clothes, leaving me in only my boxers. I walk over to the bathroom and I brush my teeth.

I go back into our bedroom and I turn off the lights. I open the blankets for myself and climb into the bed with the love of my life.

I lay an arm around waist and pull her closer to me. I hide my head in the crook of her neck and lightly kiss under her ear. She shifts a little bit but soon goes back into a deep sleep.

I love you. I had wanted to say that earlier but what if it wasn't the right time. Does she even love me? All I know is that I love her and I'm really hoping she loves me too.
