Chapter 39: I Love You

Eric's POV

I opened my eyes, startled by the realization that I had dozed off during the movie. I looked out the window and noticed the sky turning into a beautiful shade of orange and pink. Suddenly, Stephen stirred beside me, sensing my awakening.

"Are you okay?" He asked, worry etched on his handsome face as he sat up.

"I'm sorry," I said, feeling a little embarrassed. "I didn't mean to fall asleep."

He chuckled softly and reached out to tuck a strand of hair behind my ear. "Don't apologize, you look adorable when you sleep." His fingers lingered on my cheek, sending shivers down my spine. "I love sleeping beside you. And I know you secretly love it too."

I blushed, feeling a warmth spread across my cheeks. It was true. I loved feeling his warmth beside me, the gentle rise and fall of his chest lulling me to sleep.
