Jasmine felt her eyes growing heavier, yawning and snuggling up Anthony on the couch.

"Are you tired baby girl?" he asked, looking down at her.

She nodded. "Can we jus' cuddle for the rest of the night?" she said.

"Of course," he responded. He shut the TV and pulled her into his lap, wrapping his arms around her.

She cuddled up to him and he pulled a blanket over the two of them, kissing the top of her head. She smiled, feeling secure in his arms. She tipped her head up, kissing him softly. He melted into the kiss, gently rubbing her back. He pressed a few more kisses to her lips before she pulled away and tucked her head into his neck.

"I love you Ant," she mumbled sleepily, shutting her eyes.

"I love you too princesa," he responded, continuing to rub her back.

They shared a few more soft kisses before Jasmine fell asleep against him. He felt all the tension from today leave her as she completely relaxed against him.

Her ring caught a streetlight and he smiled at the way it sparkled in the dim light. He laced his fingers with her, brushing his thumb over the band.

He couldn't help but stare at her as she slept. An indescribable feeling rose inside of him and it made him smile. Everything about her seemed perfect to him. The way she had a small smile on her face as she slept and was holding onto his hand loosely.

He pressed gently kisses to her neck, burying his face there. She shifted slightly, seeming to cuddle closer. Anthony smiled, holding her closer.

He lifted his head, tucking her curls back from her face. She looked so relaxed and content that it made him smile. He didn't realize he was staring until she shifted and he blinked.

He couldn't help it, all that was running through his mind was how beautiful she looked. He rested his hand on the back of her head, content to hold and admire her for the rest of the night.
