Stefan, who had woken up early because he had to go to work, stared down at Ruby with admiration in his eyes as she slept.
He had to admit that waking with her, snuggled against his chest this way, in the comfort of his home felt really different and peaceful.
As he watched her beautiful face, he decided that he would do whatever he had to do to gain his parent's approval, as long as they gave him their blessings because there was no way he was going to leave Ruby. Never.
Deciding to think about that later, he decided to wake Ruby. It was a Monday and she had hidden herself and stayed away from work long enough. Before he could tap Ruby or call her name to wake her up, Ruby stirred.
"Good morning, beauty," Stefan greeted with a bright smile as Ruby as her eyes opened and settled on his.
A warm smile spread across Ruby's face as she looked at him, "An I supposed to call you McStef?" She asked as she stretched out on the bed.
