Nina stares to the ceiling.
The sex part was great as predicted. Gerard is snoring softly. He must have been tired. Taking care of her needs.
She couldn't stop smiling. Something in her heart kept saying he's the one.
(I don't really know him. He didn't tell me much. I don't even know his job. Only ex- marine).
She looks toward him. He is smiling in his sleep.
Nina shakes her head. Only one intercourse. Shouldn't plan her entire future with him.
Her eyes felt heavy and she finally drifted to sleep.

"Don't worry, Cara. I love you. And you love me. My father couldn't interfere. Won't let him," says him.
"But he's a powerful man."
"Would never let anyone hurt you."
He holds her hand and kisses the back of her hand. There is a big signet ring on his middle finger. The shape of a snake and a crown.
"Please marry me. Tomorrow in Hyde Park. Just us, two witnesses and a priest."
"Yes. I love you."
The man hugs her and kisses her.
Nina got awakened from her dream. Gerard is hugging her tightly like a bolster. He is talking inaudibly in his sleep.
She smiles and kisses his lips.
She is stunned when Gerard is staring her.
"Sorry. Didn't mean..."
"I like the way you woke me up."
He kisses her. On her eyelids. Her nose. Her chin. Going lower.
"Gerard...we just did it..." protests her.
"Then let's do it again."
*****
Gerard is drinking a cup of coffee. Mimi delivered it earlier. She looks pissed when she saw Nina on his bed. His girlfriend is still sleeping. Too exhausted after their previous activities.
Mimi warned before she left, "She got rough break up with her boyfriend few months ago. Don't let her innocent looks fooled you too."
"I could look after myself. Thanks, Mimi."
The angry maid slammed the door when she's leaving the room.
Nina rubs her eyes. She got awakened from the loud noise.
Gerard asks, "Are you hungry? Foods here."
"Yes, I'm starving."
She still looks sleepy. Her hair look awful. Flat on left side. Pointy on the right side. Like a bird nest.
He feels he's a lucky man if they could wake up like this every morning.
(I feel I've known her for years. The last one I want to see every night before I close my eyes. The first one I see in the morning when I open my eyes. And they said an agent couldn't be a romantic man).
Gerard shakes his head. He's jumping too far. Nina would freak out if he knew he had planned his whole future with her. Based on a single intercourse.
Wait, they did it twice. Double intercourses.
She asks sleepily, "Why are you smiling?"
"Why not? I got a pretty woman on my bed."
