I woke up to Sam lying almost completely over me, breathing on my neck and I couldn't help but smile and wrap my arms a little tighter around her for a moment, making her squirm under my touch until she laid comfortable again over me once I loosened my grip. I closed my eyes again, determined to enjoy each second with her, running one of my hands mindlessly down her back.
Who'd have guessed we'd end up like this? After the fights, the scares, the pain, the tears... here we are, laying in bed together, snuggled in each other's arms until we feel ready to get out of bed. No more war, no more risking our lives, just enjoying ourselves together as we make this place our new home.
A couple of minutes later, Sam sifted on my arms and slowly rose one of her hands to rub the sleep away from her eyes as she yawned lightly, curling closer to me, making me laugh, which prompted her to look up at me, slowly opening her eyes still heavy with sleep.
- "How long have you been awake?" –she furrowed her eyebrows.
- "Good morning to you too." –I placed a finger over the wrinkles on her forehead and she immediately relaxed her features.
- "Okay, fine." -she chuckled, resting her elbow on my chest and her head over her hand- "Good morning, sunshine." -she kissed my jaw- "I hope you haven't been up for too long."
- "Do you really think I care when I wake up to this?"
- "I'm not inside your mind, I don't know."
She stuck out her tongue playfully at me and I took her chin in my hand to kiss her lightly and lazily, feeling a smile on her lips. I wasn't lying, I could stay in bed for hours with her sound asleep next to me, holding her and running my fingers over her skin, just enjoying her company, finding comfort in her steady breathing.
- "What are we, Sam?"
- "What do you mean?"
- "When we talked with Raven the other day you said whatever you and I are."
- "If it's been bothering you, why didn't you tell me before?" –she rose up, straddling my legs, placing her hands on my chest, worried look in her eyes- "I didn't mean to hurt you. I just, well... I didn't want to say something wrong giving we have barely talked about this ourselves." -I nodded, running my hands over her thighs- "So, I may have said that and I may not know many things, but I... my feelings for you are one of the few things I'm certain about, Bellamy."
My heart felt much lighter as her words settled in my chest, rising to a sitting position with her still on my lap, taking her hands in mine and kissing her knuckles.
- "I know it's stupid but a small part of me thought you may not want us to be public about what we have."
- "Why wouldn't I?"
- "I don't know," -I let go of her, resting my hands behind my back and looking everywhere but to Sam- "maybe you feel ashamed of liking someone like me."
- "You're right about one thing there." -she took my chin in her hand, making me face her as I felt my heart shrink, my face probably showing it- "Don't go jumping into conclusions."
- "I..."
- "I don't like you, I love you; so for people to think that what we have is superficial would, in fact, make me feel ashamed because then I'm clearly not doing a very good job at demonstrating how I really feel about you." –she grinned raising an eyebrow at me as I smiled- "I could never be ashamed of feeling this way. If it were on me, I'd make you walk around with a sign to remind everyone you're mine."
- "I'm yours, Sam, all of me."
- "Good, because I'd feel extremely awkward if it weren't like that."
- "Why?"
- "Because I'm all yours." –she gave me a quick peck on the lips- "If you want to put a tag on us, I'm listening."
- "You're my better half." –I pecked her lips as she rolled her eyes- "My partner in crime." –I kissed her again- "My girl." –one more kiss, this time feeling the smile on her lips- "The love of my life." -I looked into her eyes- "Mine."
- "I said one." –she laughed placing her hands around my neck- "But I think I can work with all those." –her smile had grown impossibly bigger, filling my heart with the purest form of love- "Although I'm pretty sure you're the better half in this relationship."
- "That's not true."
- "It really is." –she giggled, nodding her head- "I have to ask, are you sure you want to be with me only?"
- "Are you asking me if we're exclusive?" -she nodded- "Of course, I want only you."
- "Good, because I don't share."
She gave me a playful smile before lowering to catch my lips with hers, attaching her hands to my hair as mine quickly found their way to her ass, pulling her impossibly closer as I bit her lower lip, gaining a soft moan from her parted lips that allowed me to slide my tongue inside her mouth to play with hers.
- "These two weeks are going to be hell." –I breathed out as we broke the kiss.
