172 ~°~Chapter One-hundred & Seventy-two~°~

I wake up to plush lips littering kisses all over my face, sleepily I turn my face in the direction the kisses are coming from, lazily opening my eyes.

"Hi, V." I mumble.

"Hey, baby, sleep well?" He asks, pushing my tousled hair from my face.

My reply is a vague murmur and I glance to the side to note that Shana is long gone and I'm all alone.

He makes a quiet cooing sound when I rub my eyes and throw my arms around his neck, hanging off him like a koala bear.

"It's time for dinner."

"No, I want to sleep some more." I grumble, hiding my face in his neck when he straightens easily lifting me up.

"Sure, after you eat dinner." He agrees, amusement blatant in his voice.

I groan again but agree, if I don't I know he'll just carry me down to the kitchens. "Fine, let me wash up."

I'm not surprised when he heads for the bathroom, hands under my thighs to support me.
