PART OF ME - you become so emotionally close to someone that you feel like they are literally a part of you, like a half of your heart. You don't want to live without them - you can't.

I lie on my side, breathing softly with my eyes closed as Axel's index finger trails from my thigh, over my hip, to my side, all the way up to my shoulders, and then back down again. He pecks my nose and my eyes flutter open, and I lean towards him to place a sloppy kiss on his lips.
"Did you sleep?" He whispers, cuddling closer.
I nod and groggily ask, "how long was I out?"
"Not long," he mumbles, glancing at his alarm clock, "it's 12:30."
I chuckle. "Everyone's probably wondering where I am."
He smiles a little and kisses my collar bone. "Do you have to go, birthday girl?"
"I gotta be somewhere at 1," I tell him, my hand running under his arm to squeezes his waist. "But I'd rather stay here with you all day. Maybe try that again."
He blushes noticeably and bites his lips. "Uh, that was my last...condom."
I chuckle and glance away awkwardly. "I don't wanna know what happened to all the others."
He inhales sharply and takes my chin, making me look at him. "That's in the past, sweetheart. Okay? You're my future now."
I smile cheekily and roll on top of him, burying my face in the crook of his neck. "I love you so much, Axel," I whisper, as his arms fold around my body and hold me close, hold me like it's the most natural thing in the world. I feel at home when I'm with him. I feel truly like myself.
Axel kisses my shoulder and says, "I love you more," running his hand down my naked body to my butt.
After we finished, and we could hardly breathe, Axel rolled onto the other side of the bed and over it to pull off the condom and tug on a pair of boxers, but me, with all of the thoughts whirling around in my head and the throbbing in my stomach and between my legs, I just had to close my eyes for a few minutes, and I guess I fell asleep.
"What are you doing after," Axel asks me, and then quickly adds, "or am I not supposed to ask you that?"
"Are we like girlfriend boyfriend now?" I ask, propping myself to look down at my love.
Axel smiles. "Yeah. If that's okay with you."
I chuckle and peck his wet lips, and tell him, "you can ask me anything. And I'm going to pick up Will's gift at 1."
"What'd you get him?"
"Well," I smile, "you're going to have to wait to see because I need you to drive me."
"I'm scared," he laughs.
"I'm more scared."
"What? You're scared?" he asks, trying to figure it out. He roles me over on my side, his fingers running through my blonde hair, when he guesses, "you're getting him a dog, aren't you?"
