Problem Solving

London

London, 2 years on
Lizzy's POV

"You know I can feel you staring at me, right?" I mumble sleepily, with my eyes still closed. I hear her laugh, so smile and rub my eyes to wake myself up a little.

We finished moving in together about a week ago, and already, living together is the most fun I've ever had. We moved in together after two years at university - for our last year at university we decided that we're solid as fuck and that it was time to move in together. It's been a long long time coming.

"I'm sorry, you're just so so beautiful, and such a peaceful sleeper." she kisses my shoulder. I take my hands away from my eyes and look at her.

I love knowing that she's mine, and isn't going anywhere.

"No, you are.." I pull her into me and kiss the top of her head "it's weird that you watch me sleep, even weirder that you've only just started.."

"I just can't not. I'm so very in love with you, and love having you to wake up to every morning." She cuddles into me, I kiss her head again

"I feel the exact same baby.. I'm so very in love with you too, living with you feels so perfect, and-" I'm cut off by scratching at the door "Mmh, you're letting her in, not me. I'm sleepy still."

"Fine.. but you're cuddling me afterwards" she gets off of me and goes to our bedroom door. She opens it "hello darling..." she scoops Mavis up and kisses her soft furry head.

"She's early this morning" I smile, watching Marina bring her over. Mavis is our little cat. She's grey and still a kitten pretty much, only about 4 months old.

"She's a jealous little princess.." she kisses all over her face. Marina completely babies her, and so do I really. She's our baby. "I think that she must hear us talking and decide to pop in."

"Well I'm glad she does.." I stroke down the back of Mavis' head "what're you doing today baby? What time are your lectures?" I ask. There's a new timetable for the new term, irritatingly enough. We used to have our lives running like clockwork on our old university timetables, now we have to work it all out again.

"Just before lunch. We could eat out afterwards if you like?" She asks, I smirk. She smiles "you're still going to make an eating out joke?"

"I was just thinking it. But yeah, of course baby. That sounds good, you should pick where we go." I say.

I'm really really not a fussy eater anymore, I don't stress when she takes me to new places. Maybe I outgrew the fussy eating, maybe it was down to Marina. Who knows? Either way, I'm happy. Really fucking happy.

"Excellent" she smiles, then puts Mavis down because she was wriggling. "You know, my mum's invited us over for dinner this Friday. I don't feel like going" she admits, I frown

"But hanging with your mom's always nice. Is Laf gonna be there?" I ask, she nods and gets back into bed with me

"I should think so. But I want to hang here with you" she lays on my front "movie night and face masks, or whatever you wanted to do."

"I wanna see your mom and Lafina though" I pout a little, she smiles and brings her hands up to my face to hold my cheeks.
