All About Us

Beach Day

It's a few days after the SmackDown taping. We were all there, but not used for the show. But now we have a day off. I took advantage of the time to sleep in. Ted has been up for a while, but decided to let me sleep. He was just enjoying the time he has to look down at me and hold me while I was sleeping so peacefully. At one point I end up mumbling in my sleep, but it's incoherent. He chuckles to himself as he starts running his hand through my hair since he knows I'm about to wake up soon. That causes me to shift in my sleep, ending up snuggling closer to him.

"Scar..." He whispers. "...I know you're awake." He chuckles.

"...mmmm..."

"Don't worry. We don't have to get up yet."

"...good..."

"Go back to sleep if you want. We got all day."

"Planning....on it..."

He stays quiet for now so I'm able to get more sleep. One of his hands stay in my hair as the other goes up and down my back. Before I know it, I'm sleeping once again. It's about a couple hours later when I wake up and I'm up for the day, not tired anymore.

"I see that extra sleep helped." He laughs.

"It did. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"You've been up all this time?"

"Most of it. Dozed off for a bit when you went back to sleep."

"You could've gotten up and done stuff, instead of waiting for me to wake back up."

"Holding you was better than anything else I could think of."

"Awwww."

"Plus, you look so peaceful that I did not want to disturb you."

"You say that all the time when you watch me sleep."

"Because it's true."

"Well I feel peaceful when I'm sleeping. Aside from rare nightmares but other than that, peaceful."

"If I could make them stop, I would. In a heartbeat."

"I know."

"So, what do you want to do today?"

"Well it is a day off so we could do anything."

"Hmmm..." He starts to think. "...the beach?" He suggests. "Haven't done that in awhile."

"And it'll start getting into the fall/winter season too."

"Exactly." He nods. "Better to do it now before it gets to cold."

"Right."

"When did you want to go?"

"Well how about making a day of it?"

"Good idea." He grins. "Breakfast first though."

"Right, of course."

"Get ready in a bit?"

"Sounds good. We should invite Justin and Vi too."

"Another good idea."

"I'm full of them."

"One of the many reasons I love you." He kisses me quick. 

"I love you too."

He pulls me closer to him in favor of giving me a proper good morning kiss. His arms wrap tightly around me, holding me in place while he keeps the kiss going for as long as he can. When I go to pull away, after a while, he pulls me back, not done yet. He keeps it going for a bit longer before starting to slow the kiss down.
