Friends again?

"I love you"
The next day Archie came to me in the morning while I was still sleeping.
"Hey sleepy girl"
"Goodmorning to you too"
"So have you thought about it?"
"Yes and all I know is that I love you and I just have to live with everything that has happened. Our past is our past, but our furture is starting to build now. I need you and I need us to be together"
"You have no idea how happy that makes me"
He laid down next to me in my hospital bed and kissed my forehead. I knew that all that Archie had done hurt me but at the same time he made me happier than ever. Maybe I was supposed to be mad at him but I couldn't and I didn't want to be, so I wasn't. Me being in a coma had made me realize that life's short and I should stop spending time being mad at people for small reasons. I loved him and he loved me that was all that mattered.
Two weeks later they finally cleared me out of the hospital. I could walk without any problems and live my life like I used to. But I didn't want to go home. I wanted to go to Archie's house.
"So where do you live?"
"At my dads house"
"Oh I thought that you maybe had an apartment"
"Not yet, I was thinking you and me could go and look for one today"
I smiled and leaned up to kiss him.
"Well then lets go and start looking for an apartment"
"Or a house"
"A house?"
"Yes, I want our kids to grow up in a house"
"We're having kids?"
"Not yet but in the future and then we need a big house"
"Lets look for a house then"
We went to his dads house and Fred was as usual not home. He went into the kitchen and started making me some coffee. I wrapped my arms around his waist and leaned my head on his back.
"Mhm I've missed this"
"What, Caroline didn't do this?"
"She did but with her it didn't feel as right as this does"
He leaned down and kissed me. The kiss turned more heated and he picked me up and sat me down on the kitchen counter. He kissed me roughly down my neck. I tugged at his shirt and he took it off. I brought his face back to mine and continued kissing him.
Afterwards we laid under a blanket on their couch.
"Maybe we should get dressed before your dad gets home"
"Maybe, or we can just continue laying here and hope he doesn't come home"
"Nope we're going up now. Come on"
"Fine we have to get up anyways. I have a reservation at this really fancy restaurant in a few hours"
"Yeah I should take shower before"
"Well me too"
I wrapped one of the blankets around me and ran up the stairs. I saw Archie wrapping a blanket around him too and he ran up the stairs after me. He caught up to me and he picked me up bridal style and carried me into the bathroom. I laughed as he dropped his blanket and threw mine away before walking us into the shower.
