"Yes, little one." He bent down and brought his face closer to hers. "I woke up when you opened your eyes. I wanted to see what you would do."

"You mean, you were awake all the time. I thought you were asleep."

"How can I stay asleep when my heart was not near me." He said that and he smirked.

"But your heart is already here." There she said pointing at his chest and his smirk vanished in the thin air.

"Silly one I'm talking about you."
