WAKING UP THE FOLLOWING MORNING, I spot Keira still asleep beside me. I gently scoot to the side of the bed, grab my crutches, and walk into the bathroom to look at myself in the mirror. Totally visible on my neck is a bright, red spot. 'Last night was amazing. My fiancé is such a good kisser and she leaves amazing hickeys' I thought as I grab my toothbrush and give my teeth a quick brush.

While brushing my teeth, I spot Keira step into the bathroom with bed head hair and marks from the way she slept last night left on her face. "How long have you been awake?" she asks, rubbing her eyes.

"Just a couple minutes," I answer, spitting some toothpaste on the shiny mirror. "How did you sleep?"

"Mm, fantastic," she answers.

I quickly spit and rinse my mouth out. She comes over to me and I glance at her neck. I notice the hickeys I had planted all across her neck last night are still visible. Playfully, she rolls her eyes. "I marked my territory," I inform, smirking and wrapping both my arms around her from behind.

"Yeah, my fiancé and I were up until the crack of dawn 'making out,'" she replies, putting air quotes around 'making out.'

"Well, we were," I answer, before kissing the back of her head.

She giggles and then spins around in my arms. She wraps her arms around my neck as she pulls me down to her level.

Before I know it, we're in a deep make out session. She tangles her fingers in my hair and pulls me closer to her. My arms grip her hips as I pick her up and set her on the countertop. After a couple minutes, I pull away from her. "Holy shit," I whisper.

"That was amazing," she breathes, smiling at me.

"It was."

"Well," she replies, "I'm going to take my shower now."

"Okay. I'll just wait in the living room for you."

Nodding, she pecks me on the lips and then I enter the living room. She shuts the door behind me and I hear her turn the shower on.

While she showers, I watch TV. I turn on MTV and realize Saved by the Bell is on. While I watch that, I lay across the couch and prop my broken leg up on a pillow.

After twenty minutes, Keira comes into the living room. She comes over to me and crouches down. "Hey, baby," I reply, pecking her on the lips.

"Hey. So, I was thinking today we could go explore downtown. Unless that's too much walking for you, we could do something else."

"Babe, if I get tired of walking, you'll carry me," I answer with sarcasm laced throughout my voice.

I laugh.

He smiles at me. "Yeah, we can go downtown. I'll just have you push me around in my wheelchair."

She smiles at me. "Well, go do whatever you need to do to get dressed and then we'll leave."
