With Melissa's help, Lucas managed to construct the pizza and stick it in the oven. "There we go. Now we just gotta wait."
With Melissa's help, Lucas managed to construct the pizza and stick it in the oven. "There we go. Now we just gotta wait."
Melissa nodded, hugging herself tightly. "What are we gonna do, until then..?"
"Mm… not sleep. I don't wanna burn something else." Lucas laughed weakly.
"But sleep is good…" Melissa pouted, coming up and burying her face in his chest. She leaned into his arms, loosely wrapping her arms around his waist.
"I know, but sleep isn't good when we've got stuff in the oven… remember the chicken nuggets?"
"Mm… but I want to sleep. I'm still tired." Melissa huffed as she looked up at him. "Can we at least curl up on the couch?"
Lucas sighed softly. "But I don't wanna fall asleep on accident… you can go lay down if you want to."
"But I want to be with you…" Melissa mumbled, hugging him tighter. "You could just sit on the couch… you don't have to lay down."
"I guess… how long is the pizza gonna take to cook?" Lucas asked softly.
"Dunno… whatever it said on the recipe…" Melissa mumbled, looking up at him. "You still have my phone…"
"Right, um…" Lucas looked down at Melissa's phone. "I think we've got time if you really want to cuddle."
Melissa sighed softly, burying her face in his chest. "We don't have to…" She mumbled, holding onto him tightly.
"I don't mind, Mel… I just don't wanna risk falling asleep. Bit overcautious from burning the nuggets."
"But I don't want to make you nervous… we can just find something else to do." Melissa mumbled, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Maybe you could work on assignments…"
"That'll make me more nervous than cuddling, Mel…" Lucas sighed, hugging Melissa close to himself.
"Mm… right. I'm just trying to come up with something." Melissa mumbled, holding on tightly. "Can you carry me?"
"Sure, Mel…" Lucas picked Melissa up and carried her over to the couch.
Melissa wrapped her legs around his waist, snuggling up closer. "Thanks, Lu…" She mumbled, keeping close to him.
"No problem…" Lucas held Melissa close to himself and kissed her softly.
"I love you…" Melissa relaxed into his arms, sighing softly. She dropped her head on his shoulder.
"I love you too, Mel. So much." Lucas glanced over his shoulder to make sure he wasn't going to burn the pizza.
Melissa was already zoning out in his arms, fiddling with the hemming of her shirt. She mumbled something to herself as they lay there.
"What was that, Mel?" Lucas asked Melissa softly upon hearing her mumbling. "I can't quite hear you…"
"It's nothing… m'talking to myself." Melissa mumbled still, yawning. "Don't worry 'bout it…"
"If you say so…" Lucas kissed Melissa again and sighed. "I think the pizza is gonna be done soon…"
Melissa nodded, not moving from his lap. "M'kay… love you." She mumbled still, huddling up.
"Love you too, Mel…" Lucas jumped when the oven timer rang out and gently moved Melissa from his lap so he could go get the pizza.
Melissa pouted when she was moved, curling up in a ball on the couch. She drew her knees up to her chest as she huffed.
Lucas carefully pulled the pizza out of the oven and set it on a cooling rack. "It should be ready soon, darling!"
Melissa looked up, pushing up a weak smile. "Thanks, Lu…" She called out in return, yawning.
