She realized it slowly. She was in love. What does that mean? - she considered, after analyzing each word. Everything really. A state of being so profound by an increased sense of joy, one is immersed. Simple. She smiled at this notion, proud of her discovery. As she watched him sleeping, snoring, drooling, hair pasted to one side and random stubble on his face, she smiled. Then she whispered - I love you. He murmured back throatily - About time. He rolled over with his back to her and added - FYI. I will always love you. I just know.
She wrapped her free leg over his waist as she pressed her body against him. Leaning, her mouth close to his ear, she softly said - Good, because I will ask you a lot. She kissed him then, on his neck, underneath his ear lobe. Without turning around, he took his long arm and reached behind him to hold her closer to him. He made it clear she wasn't going anywhere...at least for the rest of the day, in bed.
