I woke up one morning during break, the feeling of cotton sheets enveloping me. I was confused; my sheets were silk?

I decided that maybe I was dreaming, or maybe I was just half asleep. I was about to go back to sleep until I heard...

"Mornin'," It was Mitchell's voice, "How'd you sleep?"

'Oh I forgot,' I thought, 'I slept with Mitchell last night.'

I rolled over to see his face just inches away from mine. I smiled. I didn't regret a thing. Sleeping with him would never be a mistake. Finally, I felt as though, just maybe, I could be happy with this boy. Long term.

"I slept amazingly," I placed a hand on his cheek and planted a soft kiss on his lips.

He blushed slightly and grinned wider than I'd ever seen him, "Happy holidays."

"You say that every morning," I chuckled slightly.

"Cuz I'm so glad to be free of our dump of a school," he placed a hand around my hip.

I just giggled and snuggled into his chest.

Paradise.
