I was lying in my bed staring at the ceiling. I had just checked my phone and it was 2:17am. It had been a long day and all I wanted was sleep but my body just wouldn't let me. It was May, so it wasn't too hot outside so I decided to sit on my roof to look at the stars.

As I tried to get up I felt my girlfriend, Danielle snuggle closer into my side. I smiled softly before getting up quietly and opening the window. Once I sat down, I laid back and admired the stars. They always reminded me of Dani because she loves teaching me about all different parts of space from the big dipper to the planets.

Not too long after I had stepped outside my beautiful bambina came to the open window with a pout. I loved everything about her but her pout is definitely one of my favorites. Anytime she wants something or I have to get up while we're cuddling, she pouts. She knows I can never say no to it so I always end up back on the couch for 20 more minutes.

Once I snap back to reality I hear a raspy "What are you doing out here?". "I couldn't sleep, sorry if I woke you bella" I respond before she climbs out the window and sits next to me. "You didn't, but I went to snuggle with you and you weren't there" dani replies before she gives me her little pout, and I giggle quietly.

We sat in comfortable silence for almost 20 minutes before I started to hear dani talking about the constellations that were visible tonight and the planets we could see if we had a telescope. I love how enthusiastic she gets when people listen to things she is passionate about. I was in my own world, smiling about how happy she is talking to me about stars at 2 in the morning.

After a bit her rambling slows and I notice how far away she feels. "Come here bambina" I say while I pull her close and rest her head on my shoulder.

"Is there anything you want to do tomorrow?" I ask, because we both have a day off. "I thought maybe we could get brunch and then drive to the beach with Jeff and Ford?" she responds. "That sounds wonderful bella, we could get ice cream after too!" I reply. "What time do you want to leave?" she asks. "How about 11, so we can sleep in a bit?" I ask. "That's perfect. Are you sure there's nothing going on in that beautiful head of yours baby? You can talk to me." she says. My stomach erupts with butterflies at the question, no one has ever really checked in on me like this. I should be more used to it because dani does it all the time, but each time I fall deeper in love with her. "I promise toreso. Thank you for asking, I really appreciate it" I reply. "Of course stef, you don't have to thank me for asking, it's what I'm here for" she replies before giving my a kiss on my cheek.

I hate that stef thinks she needs to thank me for worrying about her. I know she hasn't been in great relationships in the past but I thought that asking your partner if they were okay is the least you could do. I really want to show her how much I love her, and I will spend everyday doing just that, if it's what she needs.

I could start to feel my love shivering a bit from the breeze, "You seem cold baby, do you want to go inside?" I ask. "No, but if you want to you can. I like how calm it is out here" she responds. "I'll get you a blanket, how about that?" I say starting to stand up. "Thank you so much amore mio" she replies with a small smile.

I am able to get back through the window pretty easily and I start walking to the closet to grab a blanket. As I pass our bed I try to be quiet so I don't wake our sleeping puppies. Ford and Jeff look so cute, and I would take a picture but making sure stefania is warm is my first priority right now.

Once I make it back through the window I sit next to my beautiful brunette and pull the blanket over us both and hold her close. "I love you" I say before hearing "Ti amo tanto" from the woman next to me. I smile at how perfect she sounds when speaking her native tongue. I love the sound of Italian and have been trying to learn it since we've been together, but I haven't had much luck. I know short phrases and some other words but I always feel as though I'm pronouncing it wrong.

We sit in comfortable silence for another 20 minutes before stef starts to lay her head in my lap. I can tell she is getting pretty tired so I decide to ask if she wants to go inside now. "yes please, I'm getting sleepy" she replies. I stand up and help her up before climbing in the window and setting the blanket down to be folded in the morning.

We make our way over to the bad and stef turns to me and says "thank you, bambina". "What for?" I ask while cupping her face in my hands, and rubbing my thumb in her cheek. "For sitting out there with me, you didn't have to" she replied. "You don't need to thank me, love. I'm not going to leave you awake, sitting on the roof alone" I respond before kissing her lips softly pouring as much love into the little gesture as I could. (The kiss when carina kisses maya while standing behind carina's porsche, if you know what I'm talking about. I feel like it just had so much care and love in it, I can't explain lol)

Danielle crawled into bed before me and pulled me into her chest. My head rested in the crook of her neck and I breathed in her scent. She drew circles on my arms with her fingers and played with my hair using her other free hand. This is why I love this woman so much. She was willing to stay awake with me on the roof in the middle of the night after she had a long day herself. After a few more minutes pass by I start to drift off to sleep knowing I'm safe in her arms.
