Caught Up In You.

I woke up in confusion as to where I was which caused me to sit up instantly. I rubbed my eyes and looked around realizing the living room belonged to the sleeping girl beside me. I stared down at Sophia feeling a bit better now that I knew what was going on and that I hadn't been kidnapped.

I sighed and brought my hand to her cheek. There was something about her that just drew me in. That made me feel comfortable and happy when I was around her. Which was something that I questioned a lot around Tiffany.

I sighed and laid back down, pressing my lips to her forehead as my fingers tangled in her hair.

I knew she liked Matty and I knew he liked her, but what if...what if I liked her as well? In fact, I don't see how I couldn't. She was soft spoken, she listened, she didn't pressure me into anything including talking, and I had grown fond of hearing her laugh.

She was perfect for me and I don't see how I just noticed it. Probably because I was too busy being ignorant and trying to set her up with my best friend and trying to keep a relationship I hate. I closed my eyes and took in the smell of her hair.

Could I be anymore stupid?

"Wake up my love." I whispered against her forehead as I placed several kisses on her soft skin.

"No."

"Yeh know, yeh need ta work today." I joked.

"I quit." She mumbled and I chuckled as she buried her face against my chest.

"Can we move ta a bed if yeh gonna stay asleep?" I asked wrapping my arm around her waist and pulling her up with me.

"Noooo." She groaned throwing her arms around my neck once we stood up.

I then found it hard to concentrate from the closeness of her body and her breath against my neck. It was a new feeling with her, but I guess it was expected.

"Come on prettah girl." I whispered swiftly picking her up and carrying her to her bed.

"You're a good friend."

"Mhm." I mumbled at her words as I laid her down and she pulled me with her.

"Yeh clingy when yeh tired." I joked as I relaxed against her.

"Shut up."

"And mean." I chuckled.

She opened her eyes sightly to look at me and I kissed her nose.

"Sleepy."

"Sleep then." I whispered brushing back her hair.

"Well, stop messing with me." She said placing her hand on my forearm.

"Wow, yeh are mean when yeh tired!"

She rolled her eyes and I chuckled, "Go ta sleep love. No more talkin'."

She closed her eyes as my fingers played with her hair. I had to have her. There was no way around it. She was meant for me.

Before she could fall completely asleep and before my thoughts got too out of control her doorbell rang throughout the house and I looked at her in confusion since it was only ten.

She shrugged and I grudgingly climbed off of her and headed to the door.

I definitely didn't expect to open the door and see Matty that was for sure.

"Oh, hey." I said and he gave me a weird look.

"Yeah, yeh bird made me come ova and talk bout meh feelins." I said and he chuckled as Sophia walked up behind me.

"I did not." She said with a grin and I rolled my eyes, "Whateva. Can I sleep now?"

She nodded as she looked at Matty who was grinning at her. I rolled my eyes and I walked away quickly yet, I still wasn't far enough to miss them hugging.

I sighed as I pulled off my now twisted shirt and fell onto her bed. I selfishly wanted her to myself. I wanted the few moments before he got here back. I liked our small talk, how her perfume smelled, and how her body felt against mine. I sighed and forced myself into sleep as they began talking and laughing in the living room which was only a wall from here.

When I woke up for the second time it was late afternoon and to a bit of my surprise Sophia was securely in my arms. I couldn't help but laugh at the situation, which caused her to wake up.

"Why are you laughing? Are you now insane?"

"No. I juss wanna know why I always wake up wif yeh sleepin' wif meh."

"Well, I'm not seeing Matty until tonight so when he left I had nothing to do so..."

"And yeh juss assumed I didn't mind?" I joked with a grin.

"Basically. You're cuddly when you sleep."

I shrugged, "Maybeh I juss wanted ta cuddle yeh." I said wrapping my arms back around her.

"I don't mind." She said sending butterflies into my stomach.

"Soph..." I whispered and she looked at me with a smile, "What?"

"Can I cuddle yeh?" I asked with a smirk and she nodded pulling herself closer to my chest. I don't know how long we laid there in silence, but it was probably one of my favorite moments with her although nothing happened. It was calming and comfortable. Two things I desperately needed at the moment.

"So, where is Matty takin' yeh?" I finally asked, curiousity getting the best of me now that my conscious was clear.

"I don't know. He wouldn't tell me."

I rolled my eyes immediately glad she couldn't see me do so, "Oh, well knowin' Matty it'll be somefin' supa cheesy, but that yeh will love cause yeh a bird."

"Well that's offensive."

"Is not. It's true."

She sighed and I felt her lips hit my neck causing me to instantly jump a bit from the contact.

"Hey Oli?"

"Mhm?" I managed to get out.

"You should definitely take me to get a tattoo one day." She said raising up to look at me, a smile lighting her face.

A grin instantly hit my lips from her cuteness, "Yeh want one?"

"Yeah, I always have."

"Well, why haven't yeh?"

She shrugged, "I don't know, plus my parents would have murdered me."

"I see. Well, yeh can't get anyfing girly." I joked and she laughed, "What is considered girly?"

"Oh yeh know, hearts or stars."

"Well, that wasn't the plan so I'm good."

"Where do yeh want it at? On yeh wrist or somefin'?"

"No actually my side."

"Yeh side?" I asked with a raised eyebrow and she nodded before pulling back from me enough to lift her shirt.

"Here." She said touching her skin right below her bra. I nodded as I forced myself to swallow.

"What do yeh want?" I spoke once I found my voice and she dropped her shirt.

"I don't know yet."

"It's gonna hurt righ' there." I said placing my hand on her ribs.

She shrugged and I grinned, "Fearless, huh?"

"Pretty much."

"Maybeh that's what yeh should get. Fearless." I said running my finger over the spot she suggested.

"Could be."

I chuckled and kissed her cheek, "Get ready."

"What? Why?"

"Cause I'll be back in an houa ta take yeh ta get yeh tattoo."

Oli."

"Sophia." I mocked as I got off the bed. She quickly sat up as I pulled on my shirt.

"What? Yeh backin' out?" I asked smirking.

"No..."

"Righ'. Well, see yeh soon love."

She sighed and fell back onto her pillow causing me to laugh as I left her apartment. She was something else.

I rushed home to shower and change so I could get back at a decent time. By the time I got back Sophia was completely ready which I couldn't believe.

"Well, didn't expect this." I joked and she rolled her eyes as she closed the door behind her.

"Yeh sure bout this, doll?" I asked as we headed out.

She nodded and I grinned, "Well, we can juss walk it's righ' down tha street."

"Oh, convienent."

I chuckled and threw my arm over her shoulders, "So did yeh decide if my idea was good enough?"

"Yes and I believe so."

"Now, no matta what, when yeh look at that yeh gonna fink bout meh." I joked, causing her to laugh, "Oh, is that so?"

"Yep."

She laughed as we reached the tattoo shop and I slid my hand to hers tugging her inside.

"Ok, I'm scared." She said as her eyes focused on the face of a guy getting a tattoo and he did not look happy at the moment.

I couldn't help but laugh as I cupped her face, "It'll be fine, love. I promise."

Her eyes didn't seem to believe me but she nodded anyways. As I kissed her forehead someone called my name and I turned to see Jason, the guy who has done half of my artwork.

"Hey mate." I said with a smile as I gave him a hand shake.

"Oli, where exactly are yeh wantin' a tattoo now?" He asked and I laughed, "Not for meh, it's for my lil bird here. It's her first time."

"Virgin, aye?" He asked with a raised eyebrow and I nodded causing Sophia to roll her eyes.

I pulled her to the chair he pointed to and she squeezed my hand causing a grin to hit my face, "Babe, chill." I responded and I winced at the fact that I called her that. She didn't seem to notice though as she explained to Jason what and where she wanted it.

"Ok, be back." Jason said walking off after he told her to lay down.

"Yeh can squeeze my hand if yeh need ta." I said with a grin as she looked up at me.

"If this hurts I'm going to punch you later."

I laughed at the remark, "Love, it will hurt, I'm not gonna lie, but if it was unbareable I wouldn't let yeh do it." I responded using my free hand to brush back her hair.

She let out a sigh as Jason returned and I kept my eyes on her. I didn't want her in pain although it was inevitable. When he started the process she winced, her eyes closing tightly and her hand squeezing mine.

After a few seconds though her hand loosened up and I assume she now didn't find it to hurt so bad. I sighed and kissed the top of her hand in order for her to know it was ok.

"Ok. Done. See. Wasn't so bad." Jason said sitting down the needle after several minutes. I gave her a smile as I helped her from the chair.

"Check it out, then we need ta bandage it." Jason said pointing to the mirror and she dropped my hand to walk over to it.

"What happened ta yeh otha bird?" He asked as we watched her.

"Tiffany? We broke up. Sophia isn't my girlfriend though." I said and he smiled, "Oh. Sure looks like it..." he said before calling her name and telling her to lay back down.

I sighed as I watched the two of them.

Looking like we were together wasn't good enough for me anymore...
