"No, you have to rest with me. You can't wait for me to fall asleep and then start working again," said Luca, wrapping her arm around Luke's waist.

She did this so that Luke would have to move her hand away if he tried to get up, and she would wake up immediately.

Luke knew her little trick, and a smile spread across his face as he said in a sweet tone, "Okay, I'll rest with you."

"No sneaking off to work,” added Luca.

"Okay." Luke looked at her affectionately. He then leaned over to plant a kiss on her forehead.

Luca hugged his waist and closed her eyes.

It was the scent she was familiar with. Shortly after closing her eyes, Luca drifted into her dreams.

Luke, as promised, also closed his eyes. He did not get up to work but instead accompanied her to sleep.

After a while, the alarm clock rang in the quiet room.

Luca slowly opened her eyes, glanced around, and remembered where she was. She reached for the phone on the bedside table and turned off the alarm.

Then, she turned on her side and slightly tilted her head back to meet Luke's gaze.

"Good afternoon." Luke's eyes were filled with a smile as he leaned down to give her a lingering kiss on her lips.

Luca's face turned slightly red.

After that, Luke chuckled softly and said, "Why are you blushing again?"

"I'm not blushing. That's just the makeup..." Luca whispered words she did not even believe herself.

"Uh-huh, it's the makeup." Luke pressed his lips against hers again.

Luca gently pushed him away. "You're smearing my lipstick!"
