"Home"
I wake up to something small and fuzzy on my head. I can hear a purring sound and know it's Shortcake cuddling with me. Madz must have brought her in for me.
I carefully roll over and pull her to me. "Hi sweetie. You are so so cute." I nuzzle into her fur and pet her. Her purring continues and I get up.
Again it's super early in the morning and I can hear Madz in the kitchen working on food. I don't know how he keeps getting out of bed without me knowing. I'll have to set an alarm on my watch so I can make him breakfast for once.
With little Shortcake, I head into the kitchen. I find Madz sitting at the table holding a cup of coffee with a mug that is supposed to be a ball of yarn. It says 'Knit happens' on it. Another fun gift from my father.
"Good morning, Madz." I say with sleep still in my voice. "You know you don't have to keep making me food. I can cook for you as well.
"You're about to be baking all morning. I think I can help out with something honey. I see you found Shortcake with you. I heard her scratching the door and couldn't leave her in the bathroom any longer." I stroke along her fur.
"She sure is a sweetheart. She was asleep on top of my head." Madz chuckles.
"I know I set her down on the bed and she crawled right up to you and laid down. I took a photo of it." Sounds like something he would do. Shaking my head I place down Shortcake and she ventures off around our place.
'Our place?' Now I'm thinking like Madz has moved in or something. "What's going on in that head of yours?" He asks.
"I'm just thinking how much time you've spent here and how this feels like our home. Not just mine anymore." He smiles.
"Home is anywhere you're around. Without you it's cold and empty." He can say the sweetest things and it just makes my stomach flip.
"So like, are we 'together together' or like what is this?" I ask hoping for his answer to be a yes. Madz places his coffee on the island and stalks towards me.
"Baby you've been mine since I met you. I told you that on your birthday. I'm not going anywhere and neither are you. When I saw you through that glass talking to Eleanor the world stopped for me." I melt into his hold.
"I guess I was just letting worry get into my head. I'm sorry." He kisses my hair.
"Never be sorry for asking about my love for you." Holy cow what did he just say? Did I just hear that right?
