Our Song ON HOLD

19. Morning After

Libbie POV

As always I had woken early but this time instead of getting up I had chosen to stay right where I was. Damian was sleeping soundly with his head on my chest and his arm wrapped over me.

As I laid in bed thinking about the things he had said last night I gently run my finger tips over his hair. I had no idea if he was serious or not but that hadn't stopped me giving both questions some serious thought.

As I look down at him his eyes flutter open a little and then close. He let's out a low deep groan before burying his face into my breasts making me chuckle.

"Good morning baby, how are you feeling?" I ask

"Like I've been hit with a truck" he says into my breasts "but this feels good though"

"I'm sure it does" I chuckle "how much do you remember from last night?" I ask nervously

"I remember dancing with you after that I'm blank" he says slowly lifting his head to look at me "Nightingale what's wrong? What did I do last night?" He asks taking in my expression

"Oh nothing bad.......it doesn't really matter" I say "but you should definitely take it easy with that drink next time"

"Noted" he says "Hey where are you going?" He asks as I get out of bed

"To the bathroom" I say "I won't be long"

Damian POV

As I watch the bathroom door close I couldn't get the look on Libbie's face out of my mind and I was kicking myself for not being able to remember what I'd done.

She had looked so disappointed when I said I couldn't remember anything after our dance, I had the feeling that she had wanted to discuss what had happened but my brain fog had made her change her mind.

Slowly I get out of bed, my head feeling like it was splitting in two and walk over to the bathroom door.

"Nightingale.......mi amor.......please tell me what happened last night" I ask

"Like I said it doesn't matter" she sighs "please drop it"

"I saw the disappointment in your eyes and I hear it in your voice" I say "it obviously matters to you......please tell me so I can make it right"

"There is nothing to make right, you did nothing wrong" she says "you....you just asked a couple of questions and I had hoped we could discuss them when you were sober.......but you don't remember and I can't prove anything. I don't want you to think I'm trying to trap you into anything"

"Trap me?" I ask confused "please come out here and let's talk about it"

"I'll be right out" she says abd moments later she opens the door.

I take her hand and guide her over to sit on the bed taking a seat beside her, keeping hold of her hand I place a finger under her chin and turn her face to look at me.

"Tell me mi amor" I say softly "please"

"Alright, the first thing you asked me was if I would live here with you" she says nervously and I smile at her

"Well that is what I want though I hadn't planned to ask like that" I chuckle

"It is?" She asks and I nod "that's good because I gave it a lot of thought and my answer is yes" she smiles

Taking her face in my hands I kiss her lovingly both of us smiling agaisnt each others lips. When we finally break apart I fix my eyes back on hers.

"And the second question?" I ask and I see her swallow hard

"You asked me to marry you" she says

"Wow I went all out didn't I" I chuckle "again it is what I want but that is not the proposal you deserve. I promise I will ask again and in a much better much more romantic way........I'm sorry if I scared you at all.....I guess I'm very honest when I'm drunk"

"You're adorable when your drunk" she smiles "you didn't scare me you just made me do some thinking......I had answer for that one too but I will wait til you ask again"

"Wait.....you thought about that question too?" I ask surprised

"Well yeah.....I didn't know if you were serious and I figured I should think about it before we talked so that if you were I'd have an answer for you" she says

"And what is your answer" I ask pecking her lips

"I'll tell you when you ask again" she smiles

"Alright then I will wait" he says "now about you moving in......how soon do you think you can do it?" I smile

"Well I have to pack up my house, get everything moved from North Carolina to Florida......it could take some time" she says "I'll speak to Delila and see if she can get things in motion"

"Sounds perfect.....she can get everything packed up and sent over and then you don't have to leave" I say kissing her neck "we can start by unpacking what you have here, there's plenty of room in the wardrobe and drawers"

"Well aren't we keen" she laughs "how about we have breakfast first, get you feeling a little more human"

"Good idea" I smile
