The Things I Love About You Part 2 (Completed)

C h a p t e r S i x

I wake up half draped over the edge of the couch with a crick in my neck and a long, warm presence against my back. I feel Scott's breath rustling my hair and his chest rising and falling in sync with mine. My first thought is a panic that my ring fell off when I was asleep, because I don't feel it on my hand. When I look down at my finger, a long string of quiet swears tumble from my mouth. I move away from the couch as carefully as I can, trying desperately not to wake Scott.

"Dammit." I mutter, running my hand through my hair as I search the floor near the couch. I emit long sigh of relief when I find the gorgeous piece of metal lying under the coffee table, only a few feet away. My fingers curl tightly around it and I hold it against my chest for a second before slipping it on.

"Mitchy." I hear Scott whine from behind me. I turn to see him reaching out with his eyes closed. "Where are you? Come back."

"I'm right here." I sit on the floor in front of the couch and Scott cracks his eyes open.

"Hi."

"Hi." A giggle escapes me, causing Scott to smile lazily.

"Why are you sitting on the floor?"

"Your morning voice is hot." I say, ignoring his question and effectively making him blush.

"Thanks, I guess."

"Come on, let's go get coffee." I grab his hand and pull him up lightly.

"Coffee's good." Once he is standing, he picks me up and carries me bridal style through the house to the kitchen.

"Did you remember that I have legs and I know how to use them?" I ask, leaning against his chest. He seems fully awake now.

"Yeah, but you're gorgeous so you shouldn't have to walk."

"Please put me down." I say with a mouthful of laughter as he drops me onto my feet. Suddenly, my eyes widen and a gasp pushes through my lips.

"What?"

"I'm seeing Dominic today!" I nearly scream, bouncing excitedly. He chuckles and comes toward me.

"I know." He bends slightly to kiss me and I melt into him, wondering how we could ever live without each other.

"Are you gonna come?"

"I mean, I can if you want me to, but I thought you might want to catch up with him alone."

"Do you mind coming?" I bite my lip and wait for an answer.

"Of course not."
