Stretching out in my bed, I notice that my laptop is still on my bed so I pull it towards me. The Skype call is still going and on the screen I see a sleeping Ben that just so happens to be topless. I see that he sent a typed message after I'd fallen asleep, it reads:

I left the Skype call on cuz I thought it would be like sleeping next to each other plus I like watching you sleep... Your so cute!!! Love You xxx <3

Aaaw! I look at him on the screen. He is curled up slightly and has his hands enclosed in fists like how babies sleep. Benedict, why do you do this too me? He is so adorable that I can't even function at the moment. At this point I look at the time. It's 8:06AM. Woah! Way too early.

I lay back on my pillows and watch Ben sleep. Okay, I sound like a creeper, but its okay to do this in a relationship - Isn't it? Laying there, I stay like that for an hour until my alarm clock goes off and its playing King For A Day by Pierce The Veil Ft. Kellin Quinn. I close my eyes and wait for Ben to wake up with an evil smile on my face.

"What the fuck!" I hear Ben curse and fight off a giggle. Then I can hear him sitting up. "How can she sleep through this?" He wonders out loud and in fact normally I wouldn't sleep through this. I can hear him ruffling his fingers through his hair and I'm half-tempted to peek; but luckily my self-control is strong enough.

"Jo. Princess, wake up. It's 9AM and you have work soon" His deep voice is slow and soothing causing me to smile. Playing along with him, I slowly stretch and roll onto my back.

"Ben... I miss you" I mumble as if I'm talking in my sleep. He sighs, probably smiling.

"Jo, get up please and turn off Pierce The Veil" He is stern and I hear him run his hand through his hair. Wait, did he say PTV? Painfully slowly, I stretch out and yawn, rolling towards my laptop and opening my eyes.

"Oh" My eyes pop open, still acting. A sad look on my face.

"What's wrong sweetheart?" Benedict asks, his voice full of concern.

"I thought you were back with me, but you're not" My bottom lip trembles and tears threaten to spill over my eyelids. I'm not acting now. His face contorts into one of agony and he strokes his screen.

"Just remember I love you no matter what the distance" He smiles, his half-crooked smile and I smile back.

"I love you too" I smile more.

..........................................

The rest of the day passed almost just like the last apart from at 5PM I went straight home and collapsed onto my sofa. And that is where I reside currently, thinking about my life. Then an idea pops into my head. Music time.

Dragging my sorry ass off of my comfortable couch, I walk into the spare bedroom which is a guest room/my music room. It's sound-proofed so that no sound comes in or goes out unless I open the window. Crookshanks is sat on the black leather chair that is placed in front of my Apple Mac. I pat his head lightly, pick up my guitar and sit down on the floor.

Before I can strum a single chord my phone vibrates in my pocket. It's a call from Ben. I quickly answer it.

"Hi" I smile at my phone.

"Hello my beautiful princess" Benedict's deep, rich baritone voice soothes me and his words make me blush.

"Stop it, you're making me blush" I giggle and put my guitar down. It makes quite a loud noise. Shit.

"Aaaw, what was that noise?" Ben asks.

"Just my guitar. I was about to do a cover of a couple of songs" I shrug, even though he can't see me.
