I laid my head down on the wood library table, the book that I was reading before was long forgotten.
"Alexei..." I say in my begging voice. "I want to go home."
He sighed and looked up from his book to face me. "Soon honey, soon." I rested my head on his shoulder and then he ran his hand through my hair lovingly for a few minutes. We've been here for 3 hours, at the first hour I was fine, but around the second hour I started to get bored. I usually love reading, but today I'm not in the mood to read, I just want to spend time with him. Alexei came to the library straight from work usually when he had a stressful day, today I had a day off and that's a rare thing to get. We both has jobs that demands a lot of our time, he's an executive at an airplane company and he had to oversee nearly everything and I am a nurse and most of the time on my day off I was called because they were short on nurse or there was an emergency but today the hospital hasn't called me and it's not so often they didn't call me.
"Luna... wake up baby girl." I heard a voice say, but it seems so far away.
"Luna..." This time the voice was accompanied by a vibration through my body.
"Wake up." And now this voice was really close, like the person saying it was shouting to my ear.
I opened my eyes and found Alexei in front of me, the table clear, the books all back in the shelf and the bags have all been packed. I rubbed my eyes with the back of my hand ,I presumed I had fallen asleep while waiting for Alexei.
"I'm sleepy." He tucked me into his side and pressed his lips to the side of my head. "C'mon, the bed is waiting for you."
"I'm hungry" I blurted out to him when we had both settled in inside the car.
"Didn't you say you were sleepy a few minutes ago?" he let out his laugh that he only let me hear. When I first met him he was as cold as ice, and it took a long time for both of us to open up to each other.
"Okay, let's pick up some food on the way home." he reached out to hold my hand before driving off the library.
"Oh gosh, I love love love love you so much." He had bought me a happy kid's meal.
"Oh quit it, you just love me for the food." He laughs.
"Oh well, maybe." I grinned at him and peek at the happy meal box to see what toy I would get.
"I love you too Lulu" His lips found the back of my hand. And like every other fairy tale we live happily ever after, but not before encountering bumps along the way.
