Little Bitch

Chapter 79

Chapter 79

Lying in bed, holding my Pumpkin in my arms after finally having made love to her felt like being cast a spell I didn't want to break.

We were quiet the only sound resonating was our breathing and the snow being blown by the wind against the painting shack.

Lexi was lying on top of me, my hand running up and down her back lazily, holding on to her close with the other.

I could fall asleep like this, so easily, but I didn't want to sleep.

If I slept, maybe when I would wake up, all of this would be a dream.

It didn't feel real. It felt a lot more like a dream. So, I wouldn't doze off.

"Who are the two kids you were paintings, before I came here and rudely interrupted you?" Lexi asked softly, breaking the silence.

"You can rudely interrupt me anytime you want, Pumpkin," I replied, eyes closed, content smile on my lips.

"Trying to distract me?"

I chuckled, and gave her a little squeeze, holding on to her more tightly for just a second. "No. I'm honestly not sure. I could be us. It could be our future children."

Lexi snorted, and kissed my chest. "We're talking about children now?"

"You're the one who brought up marrying me first."

"Just because we're having sex now doesn't mean I'm ready for kids, Lexi said, leaning her chin on my chest, looking up at me.

"We never had that conversation though, have we?" I said, looking back at her, running my fingers through her hair.

"We're eighteen, I think it's too young to talk about having children."

"But do you think you want them? Eventually?" I asked, genuinely curious. I saw my future with Lexi. This mattered.

"I don't know."

"You'd be a great mom. You've always been good at taking care of people," I remarked.

I wasn't sure I'd be a good dad though. I wasn't sure if children was something I wanted either.

"But that's the thing. I've been taking care of people a lot. Maybe I want to be selfish now."

This made sense. Lexi was often the care giver. Anytime someone got hurt around her, she always had the reflex to go take care of them. But this didn't mean that because she was motherly in her interactions, she needed to become a mother too.

"So? No kids?"

"Ohmygooood Blake," Lexi said, letting out an exasperated sigh, making me laugh. "Yes, one day I might like to have your babies, but can we oh, I don't know, maybe finish high school first? I don't plan on having a teenage pregnancy."

I grinned at her, and at the prospect of a future with her. And maybe with children too.

"I can't wait to have little Lexi's running around," I said, a little dreamily.

"Many little Lexi's would be a nightmare."

"A dreaaaaam, you mean. A bunch of tiny yous?" I sighed, contently. "Perfection."

"Young me was not cute. My sister made me piss in a glass on a dare. I've kicked my brother in the nuts multiple times. I used to throw rocks at people walking too close to our yard because I was territorial."

"Little menace."

"I beat up a mascot Blake."

"I love my feisty girlfriend."
