When we woke up that afternoon, it was absolutely perfect.
She smelled faintly of cherries, something i had never noticed until now.
She sat up, arching her back and stretching. She got off of me so i could stretch too. Pulling me into a warm embrace, she began to dance me around the apartment, laughing, smiling.
God her laugh was so beautiful.
She picked me up, and carried me to her bed where she plopped me down. laughing she said,
"I need to get in the shower."
So off to the shower she went, and i stayed and got dressed. I decided upon some yellow high-waisted shorts, and a black lace tank top.
Walking into the kitchen i decided to make breakfast. bending down into the cabinet below the counter and grabbing 2 frying pans, turned on the stove and grabbed pancake mix and eggs. Just as Maisie walked into the kitchen wearing a baggy t shirt and undies. Gently kissing her i resumed my task of making breakfast. Taking her seat on the counter, she said,
"I'm really glad you did that."
Feeling my face get red, i looked at her and said,
"Me too."
We sat there in silence for moment, and then i decided to tell her about my dreams.
"Maisie, did you know that 1 of the only times i was happy, was in my dreams. There was this one dream, that i always had at least a couple times. It was about me, and i was in a cherry tree orchard, with the wind, smelling of cherries and lumber, I was wear the most beautiful skirt, and the sun always shone so very brightly i couldn't help but laugh. I used to walk through that orchard until my mother would shriek at me to get up. Maisie, last night i had the same dream, only i was with you , and you looked stunning, and we walked that orchard until we both woke up. and when we woke up, do you know what i realized?"
She shook her head.
" you smell like cherries." i said with tears in my eyes and a crack in my voice.
She stepped down from the counter and walked over to me, hugging me from behind.
"Danny, you have never smelled yourself have you?"
i laughed a little, and then shook my head.
"Danny you smell like home, you smell like the ocean my favorite smell..."
I turned around and pulled her into a hug, not ever wanting to let go. We stayed like that for what felt like forever when she said with a laugh,
"Dont Burn the pancakes Danny."
So i turned around and finished making the pancakes, and eggs.
We sat on the couch and just talked.

"DANNY LOOK ITS PHANTOM OF THE OPERA OHMYGOD!"
I turned to see Maisie, who had practically pissed herself.
her beautiful green eyes, as big as saucers on her cute round face.
"Ive never seen it, is it good?"
her eyes got even bigger
"THATS IT, WE ARE BUYING IT."
she almost screamed.
"We also need snacks to go with it."
she started to run off but i caught her by the hand,
"Maisie, hon, we will get the snack when we are buying food, right now we need things for the house."
she sighed.
"Yea, ok."
looking down at the list i looked at what was left.
"All we need is dish soap and laundry soap and then you can get your snacks."
"yesyesyesyes."
She whispered to herself, sounding like a 2 year old.
after getting home and putting away the groceries,
"I need a shower, im sweaty and gross."
I looked up at her,
"I need one more."
looking at me with an evil look in her eye,
"RACE YOU."
"DAMMIT."
as we ran to the bathroom we both started dropping articles of clothing.
"HAHAHA I CAN SEE YOUR BUTT."
"I KNOW ITS NICE ISNT IT?"
We both made it to the bathroom door at the same time, flying through it we both jumped in the shower at the same time.
Maisie had a smirk on her face when she said,
"Well, i guess we are showering together."
"i guess we are."
she turned on the water and went to wash her hair when i, acting like a bootyhole went,
"mmmmmmmmm POKE!"
and poked her in the butt.
she turned around and pinched my sides, so i tickled her armpits.
she almost fell, but i caught her.
she threw her head back and went,
"OHH MY 'LANTA, HOW WILL I EVER REPAY YOU?"
and began fanning her self.
laughing, i bent down and bit her
neck.
"I SURRENDER!"
she yelled, and with that we finished the shower.
after getting dressed i walked into he living room, to see all of the snacks she had oh-so carefully picked out.
"Sit. we are watching phantom of the opera."
"Okay, if you say so." i said with a sarcastic smolder. I sat down and she punched me playfully in the arm before leaning on my chest while i wrapped my arms around her.
