Marry. Ride. Love.

It had taken long enough, after all

*Valentino*

It had been like a storm.

Fuck, I really couldn't say anything else about it. I groped to the side and felt for her, but I had to stretch pretty far and then noticed that she was already sitting.

Tiredly I opened my eyes "Morning.", I grumbled.

She was sitting with her back to me and shaking "I'm sorry, Tino.", she sobbed.

My heart immediately slipped into my pants. What had happened? What was she sorry for?

I immediately jumped out of bed and ran around to look at her from the front. I took her face in my hands. She was crying and I didn't understand why.

My heart immediately raced as I looked at her completely concerned.

"What's wrong?", I asked, feeling like I was going to lose my breath.

Shit, what had happened now? Couldn't we even have five minutes where we were happy?

Not even five minutes where we were together and not slipping into the next disaster?

"I'm sorry," she sobbed again.

"What? What happened?", I could barely hold back the tears myself now. I had finally managed to tell her tonight that I loved her and she had said it back. We had finally said it and it wasn't enough, was it?

Was our love just not enough?

Were we just not supposed to be able to be happy?

"I didn't know it was my turn again. I lost track and now your bed is all messed up and...", it clicked and I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Bella!", I started laughing in complete relief "Bella, sweetheart, it's all good.", I pressed a kiss to her forehead "Calm down, ok? It's just blood."

"But..."

"No. We're not children anymore. It's perfectly normal. Look. I'll get ready quickly and run you a warm bath. You lie down in the bathtub and relax a little. I'll go down to Tavullia, get you some clothes from your apartment and whatever you need from the supermarket, okay? And then I'll come back, we'll have breakfast and I promise I won't let you go for the rest of the day. We'll watch whatever you want to watch and I'll just be there, ok?".

I could see how amazed she seemed at these statements. Her face was really easy to read sometimes.

"Cuoricina, what did you think was going to happen now?"

"I thought you were angry because..."

"We're not 15 anymore, there's nothing for me to be angry about or for you to cry about."

"But it ruins everything, I mean yesterday we... and now..."

"And if you want we'll do it again today. An orgasm helps with the cramps, I've heard," I winked and could see her face look even more astonished.

"Tino, I don't even know what to say, I mean... No one has ever done that before."

"Well, you've never been with me before. Let alone married. Come on. You're my wife. Just tell me what you need and I'll go."

"Thanks." her eyes glazed over again.

I took her face in my hands and kissed her softly before standing up with a smile "I love you Bella.", I could see how red she was blushing.

God it was just sweet when that happened.

"I love you, Tino.", and there it was again those goosebumps I had already had last night every time she had said that.
