Chapter Fifty One: My Heaven's With You

The room filled with the morning light. A glow had spread around the entire room. The curtains did little to block the morning sunlight.

Her eyes twitched. The light was bothering her. Natalia sighed and turned over on to her side, as she tried to sleep a little more. The memories from the night before came flooding in to her mind. Her eyes fluttered open.

Natalia had thought it had been a dream, albeit a very vivid and beautiful dream. Except the reality of last night was sleeping beside her.

Natalia hesitantly reached out. She carefully brushed the hair from Dallas's forehead, being careful so that he wouldn't wake up.

He was tangible. This wasn't a dream. Natalia watched him sleep peacefully. A smile grew on her face.

It had been the first time in months that she had slept properly. She felt refreshed.

Natalia moved closer to Dallas, she could hear his soft breathing. She watched the gentle rise and fall of his chest. The sunlight highlighted the soft features of Dallas's face. Natalia watched, mesmerized, trying to memorize the features of his face.

It was a while before Natalia turned her attention to the rest of the room.

It had been nicely furnished. The bed frame, and headboard had a mahogany finish, and there was a matching dresser, and night tables around the room. The light blue curtains went well with the room, and the bed set. It was then that she realized that she was covered by a blue blanket.

Natalia nuzzled closer to Dallas. His arms wrapped around her, and pulled her closer; but still he slept.

Natalia was happy. She wouldn't have minded staying this way forever. She had Dallas right by her side, and that was all she wanted.

Dallas woke up, to see a smile. Natalia was wrapped in his arms, already awake. She looked delighted to see him.

Dallas didn't know how long she had been awake. Dallas smiled back at her.

“'Morning beautiful.” He said to her sleepily. “Good morning!” Natalia said, cheerfully.

“Sleep well?” Dallas asked, stretching his arms, and holding her closer.

“Yes.” She sounded happy. She looked relaxed. Dallas grinned at her. “I see...I probably know why.” He teased her.

“You probably do.” Natalia conceded, but the smile never left her face. He saw how warm her eyes were. She looked perfectly contented.

“So when do you have class?” Dallas wondered out loud. He had been half expecting her to run out the door, telling him she was late. He was glad she hadn't. He wanted to spend more time with her, after all he had just gotten her back.

“Two thirty in the afternoon.” Natalia told him, not making any move to get up.

She turned to face him. “Do you have anything?” She asked. “Nope...no practice today. I have class from seven to ten though.” He told her, giving her a kiss. They lay in bed, just watching each other.

It was a while before Natalia got up, sitting on the bed.

“I have to go...my aunt is going to kill me.” She explained to him.

Dallas was confused.

“You're living with your aunt? I thought you said Matt is living on campus?” Dallas asked.

“He is. His residence is right beside the Chemistry building. I'm just staying with his parents until I get my own place.” She told him, running a hand through her hair to fix them.
