I'm awake, and if Christine wasn't here beside me, I'm not sure if I'd have believed that last night wasn't a dream. But here she is, curled up by my side; dark marks in the shape of my mouth dot her neck and her shoulders. When her eyelids start to flutter, I'm watching her; the first thing she sees when she lifts her head is me. Her eyes, groggy for a moment, become clear as they're looking into mine.

"Good morning."

"Morning," she laughs softly, reaching up to place a soft kiss on my lips. "Wow."

"Wow," I agree. My eyes are still locked onto hers, and for some reason, we dissolve into shy laughter. I fall back into a side laying position, Christine promptly settling down beside me. There is so much to talk about, so much that I want to say. But this moment says it all and so does her words.

"Last night was so special Steph, I love you and am ready to do whatever you want from here on!" she whispers.

"I love you too Chris and I feel the same way!" I say as I move closer to her, I guess there is a lot to talk about, but that was enough for that moment, we knew our love was deeper than anything, our friendship and now the blossoming relationship proved that.
