I was sleeping peacefully on the living room couch with Olivia in my arms when suddenly I felt her move.

I think my rapid breathing startled her so that she froze and pretended to be asleep, but I immediately pretended to be fine. Liv, on the other hand, gently took my hand in hers and intertwined our fingers. Her soft skin, the warmth of our bodies. I smiled and heard a whisper

"Did I wake you up?

"Only just a little," I replied, splitting my eyes "what time is it?"

"Three o'clock in the morning."

"Why can't you sleep?" I asked, settling down next to Olivia on a nearby pillow.

She looked thoughtfully at our intertwined fingers and said

"Like nothing has changed. You're my best friend who asks what's wrong when I'm suddenly start to overthink in the middle of the night"

"But it's not the same as it was"

"Yeah. Does that scare you?"

I lifted my head, leaning on my elbow and looked at Liv

"No, why would it? Im very happy with how things turned out. I dont know how much of your shitty 30 years boyfriends I would watch again and again"

"Oh, what about all of your one night stand girlies?"

"Hey, Im past my hoe phase!"

We laughed

"Did it really hurt you so much?"

"Your old men? Yeah. Its always hard to see someone you care about to being broken and played over and over again. It felt like a physical pain in my body but I told myself I just really cared about my best friend"

"I'm still your best friend through"

"Of course you are, and there's nothing better than your lover also being your best friend who saw you at your worst and at veryyy different cringe stages of your life"

"Like when you dyed your hair pink in quarantine?"

"Oh my god don't give me flashbacks! I almost forgot how it looked!"

"Honestly, in my opinion it looked even a little sexy" Olivia said in a bit husky voice

"You pevert, it looked awful!"

She turned her face away, pouting so I kissed her on a cheek.

"I am very happy that I bumped into weird girl from high school the musical on may 21,2019"

Olivia smiled and turned back to me

"I love you"

My hear made a salto in my chest

"I love you too"

I ran my hand down her cheek and kissed her lips with all the tenderness and love I could muster.Pulling away from her, I kissed the crown of her head and said

"If we've discussed everything, how do you like the idea of going to bed?"

"Great," Liv covered us with the blanket, "can you hug me?"

"I'd love to" I replied, hugging her back and burying my face in her hair.I felt her body gradually relax when she fell asleep, and then I fell asleep too.

I got up early in the morning because the noise of the electric kettle in the kitchen woke me up. I touched the bed next to me, which was still warm, but Olivia wasn't on it. I sighed and rubbed my eyes and got out of bed.
