Bless Your Beautiful Heart

10 minutes. 10 minutes was all it took for me to kiss her and then her fall asleep.

"You've lost your touch huh Kellin?" I spoke quietly into the night. I looked around. Addilyn and Harlow's

place was nice. Very themed. Which I was pretty sure had nothing to do with Addilyn. All the major

rooms had an asian theme to them. Reds, blacks, and golds. Even the kitchen was a solid black with red

accents here and there, while the wood was light. The only uplifting part of the kitchen. Different from

my home here in South Carolina. I had yet to take her there. I had been thinking of some ideas. Movie

night? Homemade popcorn, candy. A monster pile of blankets and pillows to lounge on. Then there was

the fancy dinner. Candles everywhere. Wine. Some easy grommet dinner that I could make myself. Or

maybe just the whole romantic feel everywhere. I have a hot tub. Candles and wine after a simple

meal? Rose petals and candles inside...but then what?

"Kellin are you ok?" Addilyn said from below me. She had been laying her her head in my lap, silently

snoring.

"Yeah, I'm great. I was just thinking about a surprise for you."

"Oh goodness me." she said sarcastically and yawned. "I love surprises." she finished and then sat up,

snuggling against me.

"It's 1 am. Why are you still awake silly?" she whispered.

I shrugged. My thoughts often kept me awake. Some nights I won't sleep at all.

"Im just a night owl I guess. It gets that was when were on tour. Concerts mostly happen at night so

we usually make our days our nights." Thinking about being on tour made me think of all the bad

decisions I had made. Drugs a few times. ALOT of drinking. Girls. Lots of girls. No, not with Katelynn of

course. The times I've almost missed shows because of being too hung over to move. But as soon as

Katelynn got pregnant with Copeland, my whole entire world flipped in the best way.

Im ready to go again though. With Addilyn coming along, I knew that only good decisions could come

out of it.

"Well I would stay up with you but unfortunately I am quite the opposite of that. I'm the early bird that

catches the worm. At least try to get some sleep? Please?" she asked, batted her eye lashes, and

puckered her lips. I couldn't resist myself so I leaned in and layer a soft kiss on her.

"How could I say no to that face?" Again she looked dazed and it made me feel good to see that every

little kiss meant so much to her. This wasn't like anything I had ever gotten before. Not even from

Katelynn and I thought she was all there could ever be. I sure was wrong.

And like she had asked me to, I tried to sleep. No, sleep never came but it didn't matter because the

mages that filled my mind through the rest of the night were enough to make me want to wake Addilyn

up and ask her to marry me. But as much as I knew I loved her, I had vowed to do as she wished and

keep this relationship deep and slow.

So I was surprised when I heard her voice in the distance when I swore she was right here next to me

fast asleep. And even more surprised when her touch was bringing me to the now, making me realize

that I actually had fallen asleep. And the fact that she had that kind of power over me.

No one else. No one.

"Good morning sleepiehead."
