Say Cheese and Fake a Smile

Circles

"Round in circles...
Let's start over"

Sarah's pov

"Right," I said to Brad as we got back home.

"You have two choices. You can get a train home or you can stay here and go home tomorrow," I said.

"I think I'll stay here," he said. I kissed him quickly.

"Good choice," I said.

So it was night now and I was getting into my pyjamas in the bathroom when I saw just how bandaged my stomach was. I knew there would be a big scar there. I shuddered.

"How are you feeling?" asked Connor as I left the room.

"I've been better but I'm fine," I said.

"I'm proud of you Titch. Anything you need for the next week just let me know. I'm at your beck and call," he joked. I hugged him.

"Thanks Con. So first I require a foot rub, then you need to hire a male stripper to keep me entertained and finally you're gonna need to make me all of the toast," I joked. He rolled his eyes fondly.

"Did someone say male stripper?" Brad came out of my bedroom. Connor laughed.

"Your girlfriend asked me to hire one clearly you're not doing a good enough job," he smirked. Brad laughed.

"Well then Sarah. I see how it is," he said. I tried to argue back but a huge yawn took over what I tried to say.

"Come on, your tired. Come to bed now," said Brad. Connor nodded and then headed into the living room.

We went into my room and got into bed.

"I've never slept in here before," said Brad.

"Well it's very comfy," I said.

"It's not as comfy as my bed. Not that you'd remember as we were hardly doing much sleeping in there..." he said. I hit him with a pillow.

"Shhh Connor can hear you," I laughed.

"I know," he said.

"I'm not tired," I said.

"Me neither," he said.

"Do you wanna watch a movie?" I asked.

"You pick one," he said. I grabbed Titanic off the shelf.

"Apart from that one," he said.

"No buts. You let me pick so we're watching this one," I said. He rolled his eyes.

"Fine but only cuz I love you," he said.

"I love you too," I said.

About halfway through the film Brad had fallen asleep. I switched it off, not wanting to disturb him. He looked so peaceful, it made me wonder how I got so lucky. He loved me, I loved him and we were here. I had that thought with me as I fell asleep.
