"Ariana..." I quietly called her name as I gently tapped her shoulder.

I woked up to us cuddling. My arms were wrapped around her and her head was buried into my chest and while one of her hands was thrown over me.

I was planning on waking her up a couple of minutes earlier but she looked so peaceful and tired...so I let her sleep for a little while longer. And now I'm trying to wake her since we need to start preparing for our mission.

"Ariana..." I called her name again in hopes that she would finally wake up but instead, she groaned and nuzzled into my chest.

I don't why that made me smile.

A smile had all of a sudden reached my lips and gosh, I really couldn't stop looking at her. She looked so adorable while she sleeps. My gaze was stuck onto her as my hands had suddenly, moved from where it was, and to her hair.

And just like that, I began to stroke her hair and watched as she nuzzled even more into my chest while moaning. The smile never left my face...

Sadly, this couldn't go on since we have a mission to go on in the next hour. I exhale, feeling a little sad as I removed my hands from her hair and continued my attempts to wake her up.

"Ariana, wake up," I said, my voice a little louder than before. She didn't respond so I went on and called her a few more times and she finally woke up.

Her eyes were squinted as she lifts her head from my chest and looked around the room until her eyes met mine. The smile returned to my lips when her eyes widened and she instantly pulled away from me, her face turning a bright color red.

"I-I'm sorry" she stuttered with a nervous voice, her eyes averted from the bed, and knowing that she was really embarrassed, I decided to change the topic.

"We're leaving in less than an hour. You should get ready" I said, changing the topic and her eyes widened for a second again when she heard my words.

I knew she was scared and I hated that she was. I hated that she agreed to come on the mission with me when she knew it was dangerous when she knew she could get hurt or even die. And even though I know this may help with finding the killer of my parents, I still hated that she wanted to take part in something so dangerous.
