It Started In Berlin: A Lena Mantler Love Story

Good Job

You and Lena wake up in the car early the next morning, it's still slightly dark out. Lena has her legs layed over yours. She wakes up first rubbing the sleep from her eyes and stares at you for a few seconds in awe. She strokes your cheek with the back of her hand saying in her raspy morning voice, "Good morning, beautiful." You look up at her with one eye open, and your slight frown from being woken up quickly turns into a grin. She gives you a light peck and starts to get up and head to the front seat.

Lena: We should probably get going back to the house.

Y/n: Probably, but let me drive this time.

Lena: I won't argue, I need some time to recover from last night.

She turns her head to you and winks. You feel very proud of yourself for this. It was a pretty new thing for you. Usually Lena does most of the work. You enjoyed knowing you spoiled her.

You start driving back home.

You get home and collapse on your bed from exhaustion. (Not in a bad way) Lena follows you to the bed and lays next to you and lightly rubs your back. Lena almost forgets that she has a photoshoot with Lisa for their and N-A-K-D's Instagram today.

Lena: Upps, I almost forgot. Lisa and I have a photoshoot to get ready for in about 2 hours.

Y/n: Do you have time to cuddle me for a little bit first?

Lena: I always have time to cuddle you, love.

You two cuddle for about 30 minutes until she gets up to get ready for the shoot. You whine a little when she moves your head off of her chest. She giggles and says, "I won't be long. Nothing more than a few hours."

You walk with her to the door. You notice she is limping slightly. You laugh out loud and she turns around in confusion.

Lena: What, what is it?

Y/n: Honey, you're- you're limping. (Trying to hold in your laughter)

Lena: Oh gosh. What can I say, you did a good job.

You both giggle

Lena: Do you think anyone will notice?

Y/n: Ehhhhhh, hard to say.

Lena: Well what do I tell Lisa if she asks? You know she will probably be concerned.

Y/n: Maybe just say you slept on your leg wrong?

Lena: That sounds believable.

Y/n: Haha, okay see you when you get back! (Teasingly) And good luck!

Lena: Thanks!

You both laugh and hug as she goes on her way.

You have nothing to do today except for school work. So you finish all of that up and spend some time with Casey and Izzie. As you are playing with the cats you feel this overall accomplished feeling. Like you could have everything you've ever wanted. But there is still so much to come.

Your POV: I feel so unexplainably happy. I have a house with the love of my life and two adorable kittens. Lena and I want the same thing for our careers. Our relationship is great in every way... What else could I want?
