The place

LEWIS POV

I burst into Ariana's room, excitement radiating from my voice"Darling!,I'm here!", I said, my words tumbling out in a rush as I entered Ariana's rooms and saw her sleeping.

I jumped on the bed, my movements energetic and uncontainable, and held her close, my arms wrapping around her like a vice.

"I know you can hear me", I whispered in her ear, my breath tickling her skin.

Ariana stirred, her eyes fluttering open like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon.

She pushed me away, her movements sharp and irritated, and glared at me with a scowl.

"What is wrong with you?, how dare you yell at such time", she said, her voice husky with sleep and annoyance, as she looked at the clock on her bedside table.

"It's 5am in the morning, what if you wake her up? Get your filthy hands from me."

She shook her head, her hair rustling against the pillow. "You could have stayed there and never come back, I can manage on my own."
