"You just so damn perfect

"You just so damn perfect." Cepheus mumbled, his lips pressing into Cassia's forehead gently. Smiling at the feeling of him, she tightened her grasp around him with her head rested on his chest. Doing nothing but listening to his heartbeat, a rare time where the two of them got a chance to just relax while the kids were still asleep. Although it was 6:30 in the morning on a Saturday, both of them were wide awake. "You should keep this hair."

Glancing up at him, Cassia furrowed her eyebrows with her hand planted on his chest to sit her body up a little bit. "But I thought you liked my natural hair better."

Staring at her blankly, Cepheus twisted her lips to the side while reaching up to move a piece out of her face. Tilting his head, he examined her face in the moment while also envisioning her natural hair.

"Well considering I have never, ever told you I got a preference when it comes to your hair-."

"Okay, but you still like my natural hair better. I know you." She cut in, her fingers running through the honey blonde wig she wore. Pulling her tight dress up, she watched as Cepheus sat up also, scooting back a little bit to sit his back up against the bed frame.

"You know me?" He raised an eyebrow, sinking his teeth down into his bottom lip hard to refrain from laughing at the look she gave him. Rolling her eyes, Cassia let out a small yawn with her ears perking up at the sound of movement happening downstairs. Indicating at least one of the kids were awake, considering they had a full house currently.

"What is this? 20 years later-."

"Wow, imagine being married for 5 years with all these damn kids and you still don't know how long we really been together. If Crystal is 18, and Zahir 14, and our first kid together was Zahir...then how many years is that Cassia?" Blowing out a harsh breath, Cassia rolled her eyes again before mushing his head roughly.

"I promise you don't know how long we really been together either, because it hasn't been 14 years. If anything, we can only count 10 out of the 15 because Chyus wasn't born until about a year into us knowing each other." She tilted her head in a challenging manner, her hands clenching the sheet that covered her basically naked body.

Running his tongue over his lips slowly, Cepheus was barely paying attention to anything she was saying. His eyes drinking in everything her, while one of those random moments of realization that she was really his hit him. Of course he was capable of staking claim over a gorgeous woman, but in his head she was like none other. Knowing that if she wasn't going to give him another chance, then he would've just been single or close to that forever.

Reaching his arms up, he grasped onto her waist tightly to pull her body onto his. Leaning forward, he pressed his lips against hers hungrily, Cassia widening her eyes briefly without hesitation in kissing him back. They didn't have much privacy most of the time except for late at night when all of the kids were asleep, or early in the morning like in that moment.
