Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 974

Leo settled back into bed, tossing the blanket open and patting the space next to him, "C'mon, Anya, hop in and catch some Z's with me."

Anya didn't bother with the covers. Instead, she sprawled diagonally atop the blanket, her feet dangling off the edge so her shoes wouldn't mess up the bedding. Conveniently, she ended up right over Leo's chest. Propping herself up on her elbow, she gave Leo a nudge, "Chad. I came over to have breakfast with you."

Leo caught her hand mid-push, eyes still shut, his long lashes resting on his cheeks. Anya tilted her head, gazing at her handsome boyfriend, utterly smitten.

"You didn't grab breakfast at home this morning?"

Anya shook her head, "Nope, I was worried you'd feel lonely and sad having breakfast by yourself, so I got up early to keep you company."

Leo turned, giving her a puzzled look, "Why would eating alone make me feel lonely and sad?"

"Well, you might think I don't care about you, like I'm just using you. You drove nearly five hours yesterday to get me home, and if I left you alone in the hotel today, you'd feel really put out." Anya explained, showing her commitment to balancing time with both her parents and Chad. "I've got it all figured out. I'll have half a breakfast with you, then head home for breakfast with my folks and finish my meal there. This way, I'll keep everyone happy."

Amused by her well-thought-out plan, Leo flipped over, pulling her under the blanket in one swift motion, wrapping her snugly in his arms, "I think you're still half-asleep. Stay and catch some more shut-eye with me."

"Oh, Chad, I'm not wearing slippers."

"Just kick them off and snuggle in."

After a bit of flailing, Anya kicked off her boots and obediently slipped under the covers, "Chad,"

"Sleep," he mumbled.

"Chad,"

Barely able to keep his eyes open, Leo threatened playfully, "If you don't sleep now, I'm gonna kiss you. I didn't brush my teeth last night or this morning, you want that?"

Immediately, Anya clamped her hands over her mouth under the blanket, "I'm too hot, I don't want to be under the blanket."
