November

I brush the soft dark brown curls from her beautiful resting face. As peaceful as she is when she sleeps, we have to go back to Norchester today.

It's currently 9 am and I hear the clanking of dishes, doors and cabinets opening and closing, and faucets running. I'm pretty sure everyone is making breakfast, they have been every morning since we got here.

Not once have we gone out to eat breakfast. Lunch and dinner? Yes, but that's where they drew the line I guess.

I slowly run my index finger along the side of her arm. I sit up on my elbows, looking down at her with pure astonishment in my eyes. She's just so alluring in all the good ways.

If she jumped off of a bridge I'd jump after her without a second thought. She's one of those people that you can just tell their whole story by looking at them.

I don't know the details but the main key is that she's been hurt, repeatedly and I intend to show her that the rain doesn't stay forever, but it does make the roots stronger.

Her honey brown eyes slowly blink open and immediately land on me.

A smile of confusion plays across her lips. "What?" she asks, in her soft but slightly raspy morning voice.

I twirl her hair around my finger and lean down so I'm hovering over her face. "You're peaceful when you sleep." kind of an understatement considering she's always peaceful.

I gently press my lips to hers. She giggles in response. Once I pull away, I stand on my knee and hold out my hand for her to lift herself up.

She grabs hold of my hand and I pull her up. "I'm pretty sure they're making breakfast downstairs. Are you hungry?" she nods her head and walks over to the closet, coming back out in one of my grey button ups and a pair of my boxers.

I smirk at her. She knows what she's doing. She catches on to the look I'm giving her and laughs to herself. "What now?" I walk over to her and rub the thin material of the shirt in between my fingers.

"You're going to this hard to hide in front of everyone." she looks down at my sweats and smiles at the very obvious boner she's caused upon me.

"Come on." she says teasingly and puts her hand on my chest to push me away.

I roll my eyes playfully and hold her hand in mine as we make our way down to the main floor. As we enter the kitchen everyone's heads turn to us.

"Morning love birds." James breaks the silence, I roll my eyes and walk to the refrigerator grabbing a bottle of orange juice and a bottle of water.

"Come on, your still mad at me?" he asks as I pass by him. "So I guess that's a yes then," I hand Astoria the orange juice and sit at the island across from Quinn and Chris who whisk eggs in a bowl.
