I love you, Until forever

Twelve: what happened?

STEVEN’S P.O.V

It’s been few days after Maggie and I got married, I was planning on having our honeymoon next week after everything is settled, Now, I’m wide awake, thinking work. As much as I wanted to leave her alone in this house, I need to work for money. I need to save for our family.

I took one simple glance on the clock beside our bed, it says five thirty, I still have thirty minutes before this slowpoke alarm clock wake me up, which would be useless since I’m already awake. My eyes was now fixed on Maggie, The wonderful sleeping Maggie. Her eyes were glued shut and she was in a deep sleep, Her arms were gently rested on my chest, while she was snuggled close to my whole body. My arms wrapped around her, our chest slowly rising and falling together. I better prepare now.

It was five fifty five am and I’m on my way out the bedroom door before Maggie stirred awake.

“Steven…” She mumbled, her eyes still closed.

“Yes baby?” I asked, sitting beside her, caressing her hair gently.

“Do you really need to work today? Stay here with me, please?” She whispered, moving closer to me while wrapping her arms around my sitting body.

“How could I say no to you?” I giggled, she opened her eyes and smiled at me, I kissed her forehead lightly. I started removing my shoes and going back to bed. One more day off wouldn’t kill right? My boss said ‘Take the time you need Steve.’ He won’t mind, would he?

“You know Steven…”

“Hmmm?”

“Getting married with your best friend is the best thing in this world.”

“uh-huh? How could you say that?” I smiled, Maggie’s always like this, she’ll think everything would be her perfect fantasy.

“You know. You’ll have sleepover every day. Remember when we were fifteen and how I wanted so damn much for you to stay and live with us? And now I got what I want. Everyday sleep over. And You don’t have to sleep on a pull out now.” She smiled to herself, remembering those memories we had together.

“Haha, yeah. But Mags, you’re still a little kid when you sleep.” I joked.

“What!? How dare you.” She stuck her tongue out and lifted her chin.

“You’re kicking me sometimes, and you almost feel out of bed last night if I didn’t woke up and pulled you in my arms.” I giggled.

“Well, too bad, you can’t back out being my husband now.” She said frankly, I smiled and pulled her near me, rubbing her sides where she could be so ticklish. She laughed uncontrollably.

“Who said I’m backing out huh?” I laughed, rubbing her sides harder, she cannot escape my grasp.

“Ha! Stoooooop! Please, Have mercy!!!! Steveeeeen! Haha- Stop, Please!” She laughed, as she continued twisting away my grasp. I’m not backing out.

“I’ll never leave you and if you ever think about that again, I’ll never stop torturing you.” I laughed, she was still laughing.

“Plea- Please. Steeeven. Pleeee- Hahaha- Okay okay. We’ll be together, forever.” She laughed as she tried hard standing up. I pulled her back, but I stopped rubbing her sides now. She was catching her breath, slowly.

“I love you.” I whispered, kissing the tip of her ear, She giggled.

“After torturing me, you expect me to love you back?” She said sarcastically.
