"No, but saying good morning then going to sleep is a little awkward," said Kiara.

"Oh, true..." Justin chuckled. "Goodnight then..." He smirked, kissing Kiara's cheek.

Kiara smiled, closing her eyes.

Justin smiled and watched Kiara for a few minutes, half expecting his phone to go off again, despite turning it off. Eventually he relaxed and closed his eyes, quickly drifting off again.

Kiara slept peacefully, snoring softly.

Justin laid still instead of moving around this time, in a deep sleep.

Kiara slept peacefully.

Justin woke up hours later, having no idea what the time was. He stretched and slowly sat up, looking confused, forgetting where he was.

Kiara groaned when Justin moved, and sat up as well.

Justin smiled when he saw Kiara and moved closer to hug her.

Kiara smiled and hugged him back. "Sleep well?"

Justin gave a small nod. "This time, yeah."

"Good," Kiara smiled.

Justin moved closer, leaning his head on Kiara's, wrapping his arms tight around her waist.

Kiara smiled. "You hungry?" she asked. "I can whip us up something."

Justin nodded. "Hugs first though..." He mumbled.

Kiara chuckled. "Okay," she said, hugging him.

Justin smiled, hugging Kiara close, gently kissing her cheek.

Kiara blushed lightly.

"You're going to have to get used to it you know..." Justin said, laughing softly. "Well...If you want me to stick around anyway..."

"I will....." said Kiara. "It just might.....take me a while."

Justin nodded, gently running his fingers through her hair.

"It's just..... hard," said Kiara softly. "It's like I'm waiting for that moment when......when I piss you off and you take a swing at me......"

"I wouldn't ever do that," Justin said softly. "I know how much it hurts..." He added quietly.

"I-I know," said Kiara. "It's just all I really know anymore....."
