You Are My Life

Chapter 29- plans

Saria’s p.o.v.

The morning sun began to warm my delicate skin as I lightly stretched. Michael’s arms were somewhat wrapped around me as he continued to rest. The sound of his light snoring had become a comforting sound to me and it made him all the more real; the closest thing to perfection I think I’ve ever witnessed. He stirred a little as I turned around to face him snuggling closer to him as I had drifted during the night. His caramel skin glowed softly in the morning sunlight; his delicate lashes gently grazing the tops of his cheeks, his hair in a mess of bed-stricken curls while a few escaped to caress his face, his soft lips slightly open as they let out his slight snores of peace. I couldn’t help but smile, this man was the love of my life, the one I was going to marry and grow old with, my other half. I reached up and rested my hand on his cheek leaning in to give him a soft, sweet kiss. His eyes fluttered a little but stayed closed. I kissed him again this time a little longer. Before I could pull away this time, I felt him begin to kiss back. “Good morning baby,” I said giving one last sweet kiss. He smiled as he sighed and pulled me in nuzzling his face in my neck. He placed a soft kiss on the side of my neck, “morning babygirl.” “You ready to plan the rest of this out?” He groaned, “I guess.” I kissed his cheek as we sat on the bed Indian style. “There’s just a few things left and were done.” “Okay,” he sighed. “Okay we already have the wedding colors so we know how it’s going to be decorated. We need to check guest list, wedding party, and the reception refreshments.” “Alright well I figured it would be our families and a few close friends. What about the wedding party? Don’t we already have everyone?” “We still need a ring barer and flower girl.” He rubbed his chin in thought, “any ideas?” “Well none of my friends have children and I have no nieces or nephews so this one’s your call.” “Okay how about Brandi and Marlon Jr. they’re 8 and 9.” “Sounds great!” I wrote down all of the plans we decided on and Michael was going to give them to Liz Taylor who was playing wedding planner for us. “Go take a shower and I’ll go call Marlon and Jackie about having Brandi and Marlon Jr. being in the wedding.” I smiled and gave him a kiss, “Kay baby, see you later.” He smiled and watched my backside as I walked to the bathroom. I smirked as I turned around and caught him, “I can feel you burning a hole through my butt Mr. Jackson!” he chuckled and got up giving me a wink before he left the room. I giggled to myself and shut the door. The rest of the day we hung out with my dad, Raquel, and Abby as well as Liz when she came over and finished up the plans and decoration ideas. All seemed to be falling into place and I couldn’t be happier. Me and Michael snuck out after dinner and headed to the pasture to watch the sun set and then look at the stars; it seemed to be one of the most favorable things of Michael and I. We laid in the grass, me laying on Michael’s chest as he played with my hair, just snuggling and talking watching nature do its work. “Michael?” “Yes babygirl?” I hesitated but continued to voice what I was thinking, “When do you think we’ll have kids?” At first he was quiet and it scared me, “Michael.” I sat up and looked up at him thinking he was appalled or something but it was the exact opposite; he had a goofy smile and a shimmer in his eyes. “Baby?” “Saria, you really want to start a family with me?” “Well yeah, there’s no one else I would want to be the father of my children,” I answered honestly moving a stray curl out of his face. He smiled and pulled me to him kissing me ever so passionately, “I love you Saria.” I smiled as he continually pecked me on the lips, “I love you more, Michael.”
