Romance 3
*BEEP BEEP BEEP BE-*
I groaned.
"Uhhh, what time is it?"
"I don't know. I don't really *yawn* care either."
"Don't we have... work or something?"
"We're unemployed."
"Oh..."
"And it's *yawn* Saturday."
"Again? Didn't we just have one of these a week ago?"
"It's too early for bad jokes. Go back to sleep."
I turned over and took her into my arms. It was so comforting, to have another soul beside me, a warmth incomparable to any other. I still wasn't used to it. I hoped I never would be.
We lay quietly for a few moments. I was still tired, but I felt so wonderful I didn't want to relinquish myself to sleep. Not yet. When life is like this, the best of dreams can only be nightmares in comparison.
"Darling, I was thinking."
"Please stop. Don't you..mmm..remember what happened last time?"
"I can't say I recall."
"Neither can I. Better not risk it."
She snuggled up against me. I rested my head upon the top of hers.
"What would I do without you?"
"Probably get more sleep."
Well, that was certainly true, and not just because of these "early morning chats."
"You mean the world to me."
"Mmmhmmm."
Her hair really was lovely. Just like every other part of her...
I wondered when she'd begin to catch on that it wasn't an accident that I set the alarm to go off on Saturday mornings. This was at least the third time I'd done it. Maybe she didn't even remember. But I certainly did. Every minute of it. No worries, no obligations, just me and her, the sole inhabitants of the world.
I lay there, basking in the tranquility of the moment, watching her chest rise and fall, until it seemed she was asleep.
I leaned over to whisper into her ear.
"I love you."
As I moved to turn away, I noticed a small grin upon her face.
"Darling, I can think of a million better ways to wake me up than that silly alarm.
"Like what?"
"Like this."
She kissed me.
Then she placed her head upon my chest, and we both drifted back to sleep.
I groaned.
