Waking up in tangled sheets with my husband next to me, I sigh in contentment. I turn around, and find Leandro asleep, looking like the cutest baby on earth. I run my fingers through his hair, and simply admire him.
Last night after our date, after he told me he loved me, we cooked some pasta, and danced in the living room for a bit.
"How do I say 'I love you' in French" I smile against his chest as we sway to the mellow music.
"Je t'aime"
"Teach me how to say it in every language you know"
"أحبك, Ti amo, Σ'αγαπώ, 我愛你, Я тебя люблю, and Te amo. You love me in that many languages?"
"Yes"
"Close your eyes" He closes his eyes, and I kiss his lips, cupping his face in my hands.
"I love you more" His eyes snap open, and he looks so cute, with cheeks squished and pouted lips.
"No you don't, I love you more"
"Impossible. I love you to the moon and back"
"I love you more than that"
"Every day, the heart creates enough energy to drive a truck 20 miles. In a lifetime, that is equivalent to driving to the moon and back."
"Alright, but I love you with all the blood that my heart pumps it's whole life! You know what? I love you, Amore-"
"Well, I love you more!"
"I love you more than anything!"
"I love you more than life itself!"
"You are my world"
"You are my universe"
"You are my wife"
And you are my husband" At this point we're just yelling at each other, but proclaiming our love for one another.
"Per quanto ti amo di più, come posso amarti se non sapevo cosa fosse l'amore prima di incontrarti?" (As much as I love you more, how can i love you if i didnt know what was love before i met you?)
È semplice. Puoi imparare ad amare, nello stesso modo in cui io ho imparato a lasciarti entrare nel mio cuore e ad amarti" (That's simple. You can learn how to love, the same way I learned to let you into my heart and love you)
And what he said stuck with me, up until this moment. The final decision for the trial is being taken tomorrow, and I don't feel so nervous. Unless he paid the judge or swayed them in his favor, I have enough evidence to put him behind bars for life. Abuse, and the premeditated first degree murder of my mother, and the second-degree murder of my sister.
