Nathalie
The early morning sun streamed through the window, lighting up the bed. Nathalie turned to find Derek still lying next to her. A smile spread over her face.
"I like waking up next to you," she admitted as she rested her head on his chest.
"Me too." He stretched his arm around her and pulled her close. "But I need to leave before anyone notices I"m not home."
She groaned. "It"s five in the morning."
"But I still don"t know how my family are going to respond to us being together, it"s better to keep them in the dark until I do."
She let out a loud sigh. "I know, but I wish it was different."
"Me too," he responded, leaning in to kiss her quickly. "And one day soon, I"m going to be able to spend an entire day in bed with you."
"Promise?"
"On my honour."
"Then I suppose you"
