Norman and I were currently lying under the covers in the bed in the hotel room. We had definitely broken in the bed. Norman's arms were wrapped around me and my head was lying on his chest. He was drawing lazy circles on my arm which was making goose bumps rise on my skin.

"You're so beautiful," Norman whispered in my hair. I shifted so I could bury my face in his bare chest. "Whatever," I mumbled before kissing his chest. Norman chuckled and ran his hand up and down my arm. "No, it's true you are," he said while pulling me into him more.

I groaned. "I smell and I need a shower," I said. Norman kissed my forehead. "Then that means I smell too," Norman said. I rolled my eyes and snuggled back into his chest. I ran my hand lazily over his chest hoping to keep him distracted from giving me anymore compliments.

"I really do need to shower," I mumbled again. Norman groaned this time. "Can't you just lay here and cuddle damn it," I couldn't help it. I started cracking up after he said that. "What is so funny?" Norman asked me. I sat up so I could fully look at him.

"I never expected you to be so cuddly," I said. Norman chuckled and pulled me back into him. "Cuddly, that's a funny word," I rolled my eyes. "I think you're tired and it's only six in the evening," Norman yawned. "I am tired. You didn't drive all day," Norman said.

I chuckled. "No, but I did other things," I said. I felt Norman tense a little bit and then let out a shaky breath. I knew I had hit a button of his and he was trying to control his hormones. I chuckled again and squeezed his waist slightly. Norman sighed.

"You're tired, I smell. Easy solution to this problem. Let's take a shower and then go to bed. The sooner we go to bed the sooner we get up which means the sooner we get home and the sooner we can see Mingus," I said. Norman's head was resting on top of mine.

I could feel his smile getting bigger with each thing I said. "What?" I asked him curious as to what he was smiling about. Norman kissed the top of my head. "You said home," he said. I felt myself smiling slightly. "Well yeah, it is home. Always will be," I said.

Norman's smile widened just a little more. "Yeah you're right, it always be," I sat up again. "Come on let's go shower and then we can come back to bed and cuddle," I said my voice teasing at the end. Norman sat up out of bed and followed me.

~~

After our shower Norman had fallen asleep almost instantly. His soft snores made me feel at ease. I had learned that he only snored when he was really tired other than that he was a pretty quiet and sound sleeper. He didn't really move that much in his sleep.

The one weird thing that I did figure out about him was that he didn't like the bottom of his sheets tucked under the mattress. He liked his feet over top of the blankets because, I quote "If somebody breaks in I need to be able to defend myself and run."

[A/N: that story is completely true!]

I found it funny at first and I couldn't stop laughing about it but after some thought it made perfect sense. I sighed relaxing into Norman more and his arm tightened around my waist. My back was pressed against his chest and my body was curled into his.

Yeah, he definitely was cuddly. I got myself to relax a little more. I wasn't really sleepy. I had fallen asleep while Norman was in the middle of his radio interview and I had slept for a couple hours before waking up. We had stopped to stretch our legs and get some food before getting in the car again.

I rolled over so I was facing Norman and I smiled at how innocent his face looked when he slept. I ran my finger down his jaw line and over his lower lip which parted slightly under my touch. I sighed and kissed him lightly on the cheek before turning back over and falling asleep.

~~

When I woke up the next morning and rolled over Norman wasn't in bed. I sat up and looked around the room trying to figure out where he could've gone. I found a folded piece of paper sitting on the nightstand and smiled when I saw my name scrawled across it in Norman's handwriting.

Babe,

Went to grab some breakfast for us

before we hit the road again.

Your sexy ass better be out of bed

by the time I get back! ;)

xx

I smiled as I slid out of bed. I tucked the note into my bag knowing that I would probably never get rid of it. I quickly jumped into the shower and then quickly jumped out after 10 minutes. I heard the hotel door shut and I assumed it was Norman coming back.

I pulled my hair up into a bun not caring that it was wet and walked out of the bathroom while sliding my glasses on. Norman was pulling out different small boxes of food and sitting them on the small desk that was in the room. I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around him from behind.

"Morning," I mumbled into his back before kissing it. Norman turned around and wrapped his arms around me. "Morning," he said before bending down to kiss me lightly. "Hungry?" he asked as he pulled back. I nodded a little and Norman grabbed a box then handed it to me.

I sat on the bed and opened it up. "Are you trying to get me fat?" I asked him while picking up the huge fluffy chocolate croissant that was inside. Norman chuckled and sat beside me. "Maybe," he said while stretching out the word. I rolled my eyes and bit into it.

"Oh. My God," I said between bites. Norman looked over at me and cocked an eyebrow amused. "What?" I asked him. Norman pointed at my face. "You have chocolate on your face," Norman said. I instantly covered my mouth and Norman chuckled.

"Where?!" I asked slightly embarrassed. Norman removed my hand. "I got it," he whispered while he leaned forward slightly. His lips connected with the corner of my mouth and I smiled and kissed him back lightly. When he pulled back he grinned.

"Did I really have chocolate on my face or was that just an excuse to kiss me?" I asked him. Norman grinned wider. "Maybe a little of both," he said. I rolled my eyes slightly. We ate the rest of our breakfast in silence before grabbing our bags and heading to the car.

"On the road again," I sang as Norman pulled out of the parking lot of the hotel. Norman reached over and grabbed my hand in his. His thumb absent mindedly drew circles on the back of my hand. "Are you excited to get home?" I asked Norman. He looked over at me and smiled.

"Yeah, I miss New York and I really miss Mingus," he said. I felt myself smiling. "Yeah, me too," I whispered while looking out the window. Norman squeezed my hand. "You okay?" he asked. I smiled over at him. "I'm fine, just can't wait to get home."

~~

Finally, we were about 30 minutes away from our apartments. I was getting antsy. I wanted to get out of the car so bad. "Is Mingus coming back tonight?" I asked Norman. It was only three in the afternoon, we had luckily made some good time back.

Norman smiled. "Yeah, he's pretty excited," he said. I smiled and then squealed. "What?" Norman asked me. I clapped my hands. "You know what we should do," I said. Norman glanced over at. "What's that?" he asked. I felt my smile becoming bigger.

"We should get the greasiest food possible and celebrate coming back," Norman chuckled. "I'm way ahead of you. That's Mingus and I's tradition," I felt my face kind of fall. "Well then I'll let you and Mingus celebrate," I said. Norman squeezed my hand again.

"No, no, I want you to be with us," he said. I shook my head. "I can't do that. He needs his father. He hasn't seen you in three months. You guys need to spend some time together," I said. Norman had now pulled into a parking space right outside the building.

He turned to me and held both of my hands. "Mingus loves you, if he didn't want you around by now he would have told me. Please, I want you there. Mingus wants you there," Norman said. I bit my lips before nodding slightly. Norman smiled and kissed my forehead.

"Come on, let's go home," Norman said. We quickly got out and grabbed our bags. We checked the mail on our way up and I chuckled at how stuffed Norman's was. "Ya know you should really have someone check that while you're gone, or forward it to Georgia."

Norman shrugged and we headed towards the elevators. When we stepped off I went to my door. "I'll be over in a few minutes. I want to get rid of my bags and stuff," Norman nodded and I walked inside. I had definitely missed this place. I sighed as I dropped my bags.

I quickly checked my voicemail messages from the house phone before heading out the door again to go to Norman's. I knocked lightly and Norman yelled for me to come in. I walked in to see him walking back down the hallway towards his bedroom.

I followed to see all of his things put away. Man he worked fast. "Mingus should be here around seven," Norman said. I looked over at the alarm clock on his nightstand and smiled. It was only four on the dot. "Well then what are we going to do to kill time?"

Norman looked over at me with a mischievous grin. "What?" I asked him. He started coming towards me. "Oh I think you know," Norman whispered huskily. I grinned as he pulled me into him. He started kissing me before shoving everything off his bed and pushing me lightly on the bed.
