MALLORY'S POV

I woke up the next morning to Drew asleep next to me. I couldn't help but smile at the boy who made me feel like the luckiest girl in the world. Waking up next to him like this felt too good to be true. He was so adorable while he slept, I wanted to wake up next to him every morning.

As I laid there, I gently ran my fingers through his soft hair while I admired him. Everything about him was so perfect. I loved his hair, his eyes, his cute little nose, and especially his smile. I loved everything about him. And he was all mine.

After another minute, I saw a small smile creep onto Drew's face, telling me that he was now awake. His eyes fluttered open, immediately landing on me and his smile grew.

"I could get used to this." He rasped in his morning voice and I immediately felt my insides twist. That was so hot.

"Could you now?" I lightly giggled.

"Mhm," He hummed as he wrapped his arm around me, pulling me closer to him and he nuzzled his face in my chest.

I continued to play with his hair and I closed my eyes, enjoying this moment between us right now. I wish we could stay like this forever.

Being intimate with Drew last night made my feelings grow even stronger for him and I was terrified at how much he meant to me and how it all happened so quickly. He might have been the best person I had ever met, and I couldn't believe I was lucky enough to call him my boyfriend.

I felt Drew's arm secure itself around my body, holding onto me tighter and I smiled to myself. He loved this moment just as much as I did. Though the tighter that he held me, the more I felt like my bladder was going to explode.

"Drew," I said softly, still brushing my fingers through his hair.

"Hmm?" He hummed in response.

"I have to pee." I told him. I was enjoying this moment just as much as he was, but if he held onto my body any tighter, my bladder was going to burst.

Drew now lifted his head from my chest and he looked at me, his eyebrows furrowed. I couldn't help but smile.

"You're just saying that." He pouted.

"I am not!" I gasped. "Do you not have to pee as soon as you wake up or that just something my body does to me?"

"Going to the bathroom is the last thing on my mind right now." He answered.

"Okay, well, it's the first thing on my mind right now, so I suggest you let me go before we start this morning off covered in my piss." I lightly laughed, to which Drew let go of me and I kissed his forehead before I hopped off of the bed, exited the room and went into the bathroom.

I did my business, feeling an instant relief from my bladder. After I finished and washed my hands, I looked at myself in the mirror and tried to fix my hair that was in a very messy bun. I fixed my bun and splashed some cold water on my face to wake up.

I took note of Drew and Chase's toothbrushes and cursed to myself as I realized I didn't have mine. I definitely did not want to have morning breath in front of Drew, so I resorted to the last possible option, brushing my teeth with my finger. Though it didn't clean my teeth as well, it at least freshened my breath somewhat.

I exited the bathroom and went back into Drew's room. I saw that his bed was empty and I furrowed my eyebrows, wondering where he went. I was hoping we could just go back to the way we were before I got up.

I heard something drop from the living area and I went down the hallway, finding Drew in the kitchen. I stood there watching him, a small smile on my face. I crossed my arms and leaned against the wall as he continued to work while his back was turned to me. I noticed the scratches down his back, and I immediately remembered where they came from. I smirked to myself as I thought back to the intimate moment we had together last night. He made me feel so good and the scratches down his back proved it.

I admired Drew as he was still in his boxers, his hair was still ruffled from when I was running my fingers through it. He was so effortlessly attractive.

Drew now turned around to get something, jumping once he noticed me standing there.

"Jesus Christ." He jumped. "You just scared the shit out of me." He chuckled.

"I'm sorry," I laughed. "I didn't want to disrupt you, you seemed really focused."

He smiled as he walked over to me, kissing the top of my head before opening the fridge next to me.

"How do you like your eggs?" He asked me as he took a carton of eggs out of the fridge. I felt my heart skip a beat as I realized he was making us breakfast. No guy has ever made me breakfast after a night together.

"Scrambled." I told him, a smile on my lips.

He smirked as he sent me a nod, preparing to make our breakfast. I went over to the living room and turned on the tv. I went into Spotify and put on a random soft pop playlist so we could listen to music while we enjoyed our morning together.

I went back into the kitchen and began to help Drew cook. I loved the way we worked together. I loved falling asleep next to him and waking up next to him. I loved cooking breakfast with him. I wished that every morning could be like this.

Once our breakfast was done, we sat across from each other, digging into the food we just made.

"What time even is it anyways?" I asked, realizing I had no idea what time it was. I had no concept of time anymore. It took me about a week to adjust to Pacific Time when I moved from the east coast, and just as I got used to PST, we came out to the east coast so now I was back on Eastern Time.

Drew looked down at his phone to tell me the time since I didn't have my phone on me. "Almost noon." He said as he finished chewing his food.

"Jeez." I chuckled. "Well it would only be 9AM in LA, right? So it's not that bad."

"If you look at it like that." Drew chuckled.

He looked back down at his phone, and I figured it would be a good time for me to go and get mine since I hadn't been on it since last night.

I got up from the table and went into Drew's room. I grabbed my phone off of the night stand and looked at it while I walked out of his room. I had all these notifications and I had no idea why.

"Holy shit." I mumbled to myself as I had an abnormal amount of Instagram notifications and text messages.

"What?" Drew asked as I walked back over to the table.

"I've never gotten so many notifications." I told him as I went to Instagram and immediately realized why. "That would make sense." I nodded. "I totally forgot I posted this." I showed Drew the picture I posted from our dinner last night. He did tell me I could post it, so I did. I didn't tag him so it wouldn't raise anymore suspicion of us together. My account was private, but I was sure word still had a way of getting around.

"Oh yeah," Drew nodded. "I just liked it."

"Thanks, dear." I lightly laughed, thanking him in a sarcastic tone.

He grinned at me and I shook my head laughing.

I looked back down at my phone and answered some of the multiple texts I had gotten, most of which were from Savannah. She was freaking out over my Instagram post, and I realized I would have to explain to her that Drew surprised me with a romantic dinner and asked me to be his girlfriend, but that was a later problem.

I made sure to answer one specific text that stood out to me. As I read it, it warmed my heart.

Jonas Pate
Today 7:42 AM

Hey kiddo, Happy Saturday. Great work
this week. Excited to have u on our team.
Enjoy ur weekend with the gang.

I cracked a smile as I read his text. He was such a dad, but he was so awesome. I made sure to answer Jonas' text, since I was already a few hours behind receiving it.

Drew and I soon finished up our breakfast and we went over to the kitchen and began cleaning up. We didn't make much of a mess since we cleaned as we cooked, but we still wanted to clean up our mess.

I heard my phone buzz a few times and I figured it was Savannah, so I told myself I'd answer her later. I noticed Drew's phone buzz a few times as well, so I looked down at my phone to see we were in a group text with the rest of the cast.

I cracked a smile at this group chat. They were so funny. I looked up at Drew to see him smiling down at his phone and I was assuming he was looking at the group chat as well.

"Wanna go to the beach?" I asked him and he looked up at me, nodding his head.

"Should probably get one last beach day in before fall comes." He said and I agreed with him. It was almost the middle of September and though I now lived in LA, it wasn't going to be 85°F and sunny like it was today.

Drew answered the group chat, telling everyone that him and I would go. We all agreed on a time, and we had about a half an hour to get ready.

"Thank you for everything." I said to Drew as I gathered all of my stuff. I changed into my clothes from last night, since I was just going down two floors to my place. I gathered my purse as well as my phone and shoes.

"Of course, Mal," Drew smiled as he walked over to me, now looking down at me. "I had a lot of fun."

"I did too." I nodded. "You're the best."

"If you say so." He shrugged and I couldn't help but laugh, though nothing was really funny. He just made me so happy. "I'll see you in a little bit."

"Yeah," I nodded. "See you soon."

Drew leaned down and kissed my lips and God, I loved feeling his lips on mine.

He opened the door for me and I walked out into the hallway. I turned my head to see Drew watching me as I walked down the hallway. I waved to him and he waved back, and I went over to the elevator to go down to my apartment.

I bit my lip, trying to hide my smile. I couldn't wait to see Drew in a few minutes.

I was down bad.
