The sun's rays made it feel as if the room was in another world. Waking me up to a mystical dreamland. But reality hit when a cold gust of wind hit my uncovered leg. My entire body shivered, but the only thing that kept warm once I threw the covers off, was my left hand.

I will say, waking up to a man as gorgeous as Jason will be very nice in my future. Too bad this man holding my hand only sees me as someone that he needs to protect, and maybe, if I'm pushing it, as a friend. And I'm sure once I leave, I will never find a man as handsome, kind, and wonderful as him. Sure, I might be developing a small child-like crush on him, but he won't and will never need to know that.

Deciding that I really needed to get ready and that my staring was getting a little creepy, I tried to wake him up. I tried shaking his shoulder, but no movement came from him. I shook him a little bit harder, but again, nothing. So I did the one thing my father did to me to wake me up, I blew my morning breath into his face.

It wasn't the most pleasant thing to wake up too in the morning. My father had the worst morning breath known to man, and it would wake you up instantly. I used to hate it, but looking back at it now, it makes me miss my father.

"I know you're up Jason." I say once I see a cute little smile escape his lips. "Have you been up the entire time?" I pout. He opens his eyes to show those dark chocolate orbs that had a little bit of a glint to them. "Good morning my Angel." Oh my god his raspy morning voice. It made tingles travel through my body and a blush to rush to my face. A chuckle from him seemed to echo around the room.

"Jason, please let me have a different room. You need your bed. I feel rude and un-hospitable." I whisper trying to change the topic so he doesn't comment on my blush. He lets go of my hand and runs his hands through his hair with an annoyed groan. "Lilly, I am protecting you, therefore I have to sleep in the same room as you to watch over you. Besides, I don't mind at all."

Before any words of argument came out of my mouth, he grabbed my hand and took me downstairs to the kitchen. He didn't even let me do my morning routine. But the moment the smell of chocolate chip waffles entered my nostrils, I didn't care anymore. Just give me the syrup, and I will be set for the morning.

I was currently making her chocolate chip waffles. While I set the batter in the iron, I couldn't help but look at her. She was at the counter looking out the window at the swimming pool in the back. I should get Maria to buy her a bikini so her and I can swim. Although I'm sounding like the pervert that I am, the closet thing I got to seeing my Angel's hidden curves was when I helped her out of the shower the first night she was here and the second morning when I ran into the bathroom to see her in a towel. Both of those times I didn't get a chance to admire her due to me shaking in worry about her. But she always wears these baggy shirts that cover her luscious curves that I have drooled about in my dreams.

Interrupting me from my not so PG thoughts, a burning smell emits through the kitchen. I quickly look over at the waffle iron and see it up in flames. Quickly unplugging it and throwing a glass of water on it, all that was left was a ruined waffle maker and a large amount of smoke that turned on the fire alarm.

I look over at Lilly and see she is breathing quite heavy and her eyes are enlarged. I noticed she is hyperventilating so I walk over to her and hold my arms open. I give her the option due to going through the same experience. If I want to be touch I will allow it, but if I was touched when I didn't want it, it made it so much worse.

Without hesitation, she runs and jumps into my arms. Her tiny little legs are wrapped around my waist and her arms are curled around my shoulders while her head is shoved into the crook of my neck. "Hey it's ok Angel. I'm right here. It's ok." I whisper into her ear. Im swaying us side to side, almost like I'm holding a baby. But she's my baby so it's fine.

After about ten minutes of swaying, she finally relaxes but tightens her grip when I try to set her down. "Are you ok Jason?" she whispers while looking at me directly in the eyes. She proceeds to evaluate my face, not in a check out way, but in a looking for any injuries way. A chuckle from me, shakes us both causing a confused look to run across her darn cute face. "I am fine beautiful. I'm more worried about you." A blush replaces her confusion. "I'm sorry if I over reacted. It was just the fire. It reminded me-" I quickly interrupt her, "My Angel, there is no reason for you to apologize. Now how about we have some cereal instead?"

Were now watching "WALL-E" on the living room couch. I wish I could say we were cuddling, but we weren't to my disappointment. We sat hip by hip and I was slowly getting my arm to go over her shoulder. I had it all planned. I would do a yawn- stretch and when I put my arms down, I would place it on her shoulder. Then I would slowly pull her in.

I sound liking a fucking teenage boy on his first date. For christ-sake I am twenty-five years old! But I have never had to deal with a woman that didn't jump at me. In fact, this is the first time I'm going after someone that I have no idea if they have feelings for me. I do know she is comfortable around me now. Just her running into my arms after her panic attack just shows she enjoys my presence. Just thinking about it makes my heart swells.

I was planning on being a big flirt towards her today. One because her blush makes my ego swell and it's the cutest thing ever. Two, me being the pussy I am, I want to see if she shows any reaction to indicate that she has feelings for me. After the kitchen incident, I decided that today wouldn't be such a good day.

When I started to act out my plan by yawning, Anthony, my dick of a best friend, walked in. "Boss, I need to speak to you." I quickly apologize to Lilly, but due to her being so focused on the movie, she slightly nodded while still lookin at the screen.

"What? Can't you see I'm busy?" I groan towards him. We're in my newly renovated office since the last incident, but if this dick stick doesn't start speaking soon, this office is going to have to be renovated again. "Sorry to interrupt your pathetic attempts to getting Lilly to like you." he snickers. I swear to god, if this man wasn't like a brother to me, he would of been dead a long time ago. A REALLY long time ago.

"Sorry." he clears his throat. "The boys found something about the Lilly's parent's killers."
