Ed pulls you towards his body and showers you with kisses. You giggle as you wrap your left leg over his legs. The cool bed covers felt nice against your skin. Adjusting his grey beanie which sits on his head, Ed pauses his kisses and looks down into your eyes. You unknowingly bite your lower lip, causing him to imitate you.
“What?” you say with a grin.
“You always do that cute thing with your lips.”
“You mean this?” you inch towards his lips and peck him. He laughs and brushes away strands of hair which scatter over your forehead. You set your index finger on his lips and begin to outline them gently.
Ed watches you silently; taking in your beauty. You flicker your eyes into his and that feeling of butterflies traveling in your stomach fills you. You bury your face into his chest and take in his sent. Cinnamon…
“Hope,” he coos your name softly. You peek up at him with admiring eyes.
“Do you love me?”
You tease him, “Just a little, tiny bit.” He says ‘hey’ and you begin to bite your lower lip once more.
“Really,” he continues, “do you love me?”
As you stare into his sapphire eyes, you take in the fact that his question is serious. Letting go of your bottom lip, you inhale. Ed means so very much to you. He never fails to make you smile and is always there to talk to. He helped you recover from your past; teaching you how to love yourself and how to love again. There was never a time where he raised his voice at you nor was there a time where he ignored you. He is your best friend whom you fell deeply in love with. I don’t think there is a way to put my love into words you think to yourself.
“I love you more than you know.” You reply. Ed beams down at you and lifts his hands to connect with yours. As your fingers intertwine with his, he begins to stroke your fingers. Untangling your fingers from his, you begin to rotate your hand a bit; having Ed touch each delicate finger of yours.
Breaking the silence, Ed begins, “I love you, babe.”
You reply by looking in his eyes and reeling him into your face by tugging at the collar of his shirt; forcing him to lean into a kiss. Pulling back from the wet kiss, you look back into his eyes; sending him a million messages of love and affection.
