"Why do you like me, y/n?" my emotions talk for me, asking for some comfort and consolation. "Because..." she thinks about her answer, but after some short seconds, she finally puts her eyes into mine. "You're lovely...kind and caring...you have a big heart...a good personality and...you're a good person...you're sweet, and my heart just beats fast when I hear your name or when you text me...when I look at you or think about you...so...I can call that 'love'...right?"

What she just said isn't going to help my weak heart. I stroke her warm cheeks with my thumbs but do not break the eye contact. "Love is a big word..." I smile at her but feel the heat of her skin rise up against mine. "Then if it's a big word...I'll wait for the right time to use it."

"The right time?" I demand for the meaning of those three words, wondering what she wants me to understand by this. "Yeah...when I'll be with you in some months...when I'll have helped you and stayed by your side to go through some tough moments to show you I'm also here for you when life doesn't go well...when I'll have made you feel better and loved for so many hours and days nonstop...then I'll tell you that I love you sincerely, and that I'm there for you no matter what."

Her confession touches me, the impact of it reaching my heart and affecting my entire body. "Y/n...you-" her lips cut me off. "I know..." she softly speaks against my skin. "I know what you want to say...I don't know what tomorrow is made of, so I cannot talk about the future with so much confidence, but...I still want to tell you that I don't see myself without you in the future...I don't see myself not loving you anymore..."

I gaze at her, speechless. She really makes it difficult for me to find the good words, I don't know how to respond to this. I just know this affects me mentally, in a good way.

"But whatever..." she leans over me and rests her head on my chest as I couldn't say anything more. She hugs me but presses a kiss on my neck. "I made the pizza you liked a lot, I hope you'll eat well."

I hold her close to me but close my eyes. I'm exhausted after all the time at my work, with the stress, I need a nap.

Right when I finally relaxed and stopped talking, the sound of the oven ringing disturbs my peacefulness and makes y/n straighten up. She presses a kiss on my forehead in the most comforting manner, before moving away from me to stand up.

I follow her but loosen my tie. "I'm taking a quick shower," I smile at her but get undressed while heading to the bathroom.

8 pm.

The tip of the digital pen hitting the screen of the tablet grasps my attention for the fifth time, I look at y/n, who fell asleep again, but smile. "Sweetheart," I move towards her, noticing she hasn't woken up even at the sound of my voice. I move my laptop to the side and grab the tablet to get the pen back inside, save what she was writing, and put it down on the coffee table. I lean over her and grab her thigh to pull her in and take her in my arms. I rise from my spot and carry her to her bedroom, feeling soft and relaxed with her.

I turn the lights off before reaching the room and open the door, doing everything kindly to not wake her up. Once I'm at the bed, I push the curtains away and bend over while keeping one hand behind her head to make sure she doesn't get hurt, and I lay her down. I place one hand under the crook of her legs and lift them up to pull the blanket down and then cover her body with it.

My lips land a good night kiss on her forehead, and I straighten up once this is done to close the curtains and leave the room, quietly. She must be exhausted.

A smile still felt upon my face, I lick my lips and walk back to the sofa. I sit down and turn the tv off for the house to be entirely silent and allow y/n to sleep tight. Now, I grab my laptop again and work.
