Dance Alone To The Beat of Your Heart

Chapter 37

      ~2024~

  Home sweet home. We got back to Chicago late last night. We're both exhausted. We've spent most of the morning in bed. We are enjoying our time not doing anything. 

  "You sure you don't want to go anywhere?" I ask. 

  "Nope. I'm enjoying our time in bed." he says. 

  "Me too. A day in bed is what we'll do then." I agree. 

  "Fine by me." He kisses me. 

  "I love you." He says. 

  "I love you too. How are you feeling?" I ask. 

  "I'm feeling great. Being home is great." He says. 

  "It is. We have time to just be." I say. 

  "Exactly. You are incredible. I can't imagine my life without you in it." He says. 

  "Who's the cliche now?" I tease. 

  "I can be when I want. You are part of the reason why I'm in love." He says. 

  "Still? After all these years?" I tease him. 

  He gently smacks my arm. "Yes. More so every day." 

  "I'm deeper in love with you too." I kiss him. 

  He kisses me back. "It won't change ever. It will only grow." He says. 

  "Someone is getting clever with his words." 

  "I may have picked up a few things from my husband." He says as he plays with his wedding band. 

  "Have you picked up anything else from me?" I ask. 

  "Yes but its not appropriate." He bites my ear. 

  I bite my lip. "Well we're alone and have nowhere to be." I state. 

  "Yes.." He moves closer to me. 

  "You could show me what you mean." I smirk. 

  He smirks. "Well then come here." 

  I come closer to him. "Well show me Cookie Jar." 

  He kisses me deeply. I kiss him back. I still get chills when we kiss. I always get butterflies when we kiss. It's incredible how he makes me feel. 

  He pulls me closer and climbs on top of me. He breaks the kiss. "Trust me?" he asks. 

  "Of course I do." I say. 

  "Good." He kisses me and pulls my boxers off. I kiss him back and pull his boxers off. 

  "I'm ready babe." I say. 

  "I know." he says, pressing into me. 

  "Fuck!" I moan out. Its amazing how he feels inside me. 

  "That feels so good." He says. 

  "Thank you." I moan. 

  Neither of us last very long. 

  He collapses next to me. "Well I missed topping." 

  "I missed it too. You felt amazing." I state as I kiss him. 

  He kisses me back. "So did you. I love you." 

  "I love you too." I cuddle into his side. 

  My phone rings. I answer it. "Hey Mikey what's up?" I ask in confusion. 

  "I was wondering if you guys want to come over for dinner." Mikey asks. 

 I ask Patrick before answering. "Thanks for the invite but we're both exhausted." 

  "That's fine. Relax and get your rest." Mikey says before hanging up. 

  "This bed is too comfy." Patrick says. 

  "It is. I'm going to order us food." I state. 

  "I like that idea. I'm not cooking though." He says. 

  "I didn't think so." I say. 

  "I am exhausted." He says. 

  "I know you are." I state. "I am too." 

  "We have time to rest before September." He says. 

  "Yes. We have a couple of rehearsals but not many." I state. 

 "That's a problem for later." He says. 

  "True. Right now its about relaxing." I say. 

  "Exactly. It's about you and I." He states. 

  "You and I are supposed to be together. I'm excited for our future." He says. 

  "So am I. I love you." I state. 

  He kisses me. "I love you too." 

  We have dinner in bed and watching movies. I love moments like this. Moments where we can just be. Just be around ourselves. Not speaking. Just being in the quiet and enjoying our movies. I love being like this.
