"Good morning, my dearest."

I would never grow old to hear a greeting from her lovely voice. It was reviving me. I sighed with a smile I glided my hands to feel her jawlines, cheekbones and gently cupped her face without opening my eyes. I pursed my lips to touch her plump lips and greeted groggily, "Good morning."

I felt her hands gently cup my face and said softly, "Continue being a sleeping beauty, huh?" I startled and giggled when I felt she was nuzzling my neck as I slightly craned my neck to stop her. "5 more minutes, please."

I giggled again when she keep nuzzling my neck and hummed on my neck, "Please what?"

"I said give me 5 more minutes, please." I said as I quickly cupped her face to stop her, but she took my hands and pinned them on the bed to continue nuzzling me and I laughed at the ticklish and said, "Stop it, Blair!"

"Come on, please what?" Blair said with a demanding tone as I stubbornly said, "Please Blair. Stop it."

She continued doing it as I laughed, "Fine, fine. Stop it, baby, please."

Blair finally stopped as I let my eyes open and meet her lovely hazel eyes. She was giving me a toothy grin and said, "It sounds good to me whenever it comes from you, darling."

I was shy of the pet name she called and melt by her cuteness at the same time. She always gave me the face after I called her any pet name. And that was what she always did to me whenever she wanna ask for it. I wasn't unwilling to call her like that, I just felt shy about it.

We didn't label our relationship and let the flow go until we were ready. It's been a month and today was my second day living at a new place instead of staying at Belle's luxury homestay for Free.

I knew Belle was kind, but I couldn't take everything for granted. Since the day I lived at her homestay, I started hunting for a job to work, and gratefully I found a cafe to work in the morning and a bistro to work at night shortly.

After Blair and I argued about renting a room to stay in, she found her kind-hearted friend who had already migrated. He left his 3 room house to be vacant and waiting for a potential buyer at the moment. Instead, he was willing to rent a room for me at an affordable price. I was grateful for that.

Even though nothing much for me to shift to a new place, but we spent a few hours shopping, and buying the needs for the house after my night shift which was quite tired.

My day off would be Sunday. The only full day could spend time together with Blair. She loved to complain I slept long hours for wasting our time.

Well, spending time together doesn't mean we have to wake up early to eat breakfast, walk to the park or shopping and eat again, hang out somewhere again and go home. Those were exhausting and wasting money."

For me, I would rather snuggle in the bed, watch movies in the living room, call for take-out during meals time, snuggle again and call it a day.

"Wake up!" I yelped when I felt soft stuff thrown on my face. Ugh! Blair could feisty when her patience was running thin, but that only made her more badass.

I sat and leaned against the headboard. I chuckled at her and she folded her arms and glared at me with her striking hazel eyes. I guessed people would be get intimidated by her look, but for me never.

I tilted my head, smiling and admiring her hourglass figure. She was looking hot in her high messy bun, simple home wear of baggy white shirt, and shorts revealing her beautiful tan and smooth skin especially her long and slender legs.

"Are you done eating my body with your eyes?" she arched a brow with a smirk.

"No?" I said innocently and mirrored her expression.

She chuckled as she held my forearm and said, "You're lucky that you're cute. Let's eat before I'm bitching you out. I'm fucking starving."

I laughed and let her pull me on my feet and go to have breakfast with her.

"How is it?" Blair asked excitedly and twirled around for me to see the sundress she was wearing. I had no idea how many sundresses she had tested.

She was a shopaholic, she hate her father, her stepmother, and her stepsister. She claimed that she wanted to spend all the money instead of letting the two bitches spend because they were gold diggers.

She hated her father never sided with her but always sided with the two bitches. I keep advising her to stop spending money like that because that would break her and she couldn't control her finance in the future.

She was quite stubborn about that, but I could see a little improvement from her recently. On the other hand, I live without income and all the money controlled by my bastard uncle.

I hate to trust him and give all the money my dad left to him. That was not only my wrong move, also he technically force me to work with him in his hopeless mechanic shop. I was skillless and only could assist his staff with cleaning and helping hand. The worst I had no pay.

Living under this kind of condition I understand the struggle of no money. So, I worried Blair would suffer if her father decided to cut off her pocket money and credit cards someday.

About Blair's mother, she was her painful loss. She died in a car accident. Blair loved her mother a lot and Belle was her only family.

Belle loved her niece like a daughter. She was taking the role of mother to take care of Blair and pay her university fees.

Blair was appreciated and respected her aunt a lot. Belle was a successful business lady, and homestay she practically treat as a little fun for her side income. She said this homestay belonged to Blair. So, Blair could stay at the house anytime she like.

Blair practically stayed at the homestay more than at her father's house. She would stay there whenever she fight with her father. If they were civil, she would spend all the time in her room.

"If you want me being honest. All look good on you." I said truly.

She rolled her eyes and said, "That's bad to shop with a shopping pooper."

I shrugged lightly at her, "I only shop for necessity."

"Well, these are necessities too," she said.

"You are overloading with your necessity." I pointed out.

"Debating with a singer will lose. Note to a lawyer," she said dryly.

I laughed at teased, "Are you giving up so soon, lawyer Blair?"

"I don't want to argue with you because I don't want to waste my breath to talk nonsense with you," she said proudly and concluded, "Well, I'm gonna take all since you told me I looking good in all of these."

I quickly walked toward her and took only two of the sundress which I prefer she wore among a dozen of them and said, "Fine, just take these two."

She grinned, "It seemed work."

I rolled my eyes at her. She knew I dislike the idea of spending money like a spoiled brat and this was her trick.

We walked in linked arms with a handful of paper bags after we were done shopping. She was finally satisfied and decided to eat.

Again we argued about buying clothes for me and becoming a few bags of paper bags were for me. She said I didn't have enough clothes but I argued to her I had uniforms for my jobs and I don't need to have a full cupboard of shirts.

In the end, she won and tada close to 3 bags were my clothes.

A younger teen handed the flyer to us and we just took it for her favor. We already took numerous flyers of the food promotion, clothing, and events. I usually took and put it in my bags instead of throwing it in the recycle bin. I'll throw them after I see them again when I'm home.

"Hey, you should try babe," Blair said excitedly as I leaned closer and see the flyer was about a singing competition.

"There are so many potential candidates and I'm not going to be embarrassed," I said.

"Come on, that'll not hurt to try," Blair reassured as she pointed to the flyer and said, "Every candidate will get a 50 bucks voucher for burger set. Top 10 will get 200 bucks voucher for family pizza set, the winner gets 1000 bucks cash!" Blair squeezed my arm with one of her free hands.

"200 bucks voucher for family pizza set sounds good for me," I said.

"Not bad if we get 1000 cash. I can shop more."

"If we get 1000 cash I'll take you for a fancy dinner date."

"Just a simple dinner date and then have sex?" she teased and smirked at me, "Boring."

In the meantime, heat not only rushed to my face but also my gut when I picture Blair and I get naked in the bed. I couldn't invent how would we react to feel the skin to skin with her tongue and luscious lips around me.

Even though we made out a lot, but we never did that stuff yet. She was a perv but she never did any further by knowing I was still not ready.

Somehow, I hate she teased me. She was really good at it.

"Shut up. I didn't mean like that, idiot." I muttered. She always enjoy saying this to tease me because she knew what I would react about that topic.

She remained her smirk which I wanted to wipe off. She seemed like getting entertained and said in a small voice only for us to hear, "I prefer we get burgers, pizzas, tacos, sodas, and nachos to have a picnic at the lakeside. Then, we would do something adventurous such as trespass at an abandoned house and have sex."

"What do you think, darling?" she asked teasingly.

"Well, picnic in at the lakeside with your choice of food sounds good for me. Trespass at an abandoned house? No thanks." I concluded.

She loosened her arms from me and snaked an arm around my shoulder and said, "Well, you should try this competition. Are you in?"

"I'll think about it," I said as she smiled softly, "Okay, but I really hope you'll try."

I hummed, "Are you really wanna me to try?"

"Yup."

"Why?"

"Because I think you deserve to get recognized as in you're gifted and you love singing and guitar so much. It's such a waste if you never give yourself a chance," she said and gently squeezed my shoulder and added, "Anyway, it depends on you, alright? That's just my opinion." she smiled.

"Well, I'm having a lucky charm with me. I should put the faith in it and give myself a try." I stared at her lovely hazel eyes with a smile as she grinned and seem happy for me.

She was right, I should give myself a chance. Singing is my dream.
