“I like my christmas presents,” He said.
“I’m glad that you do.”
We were laying still. I was resting my head on his chest. The cold winter weather didn’t seem interested to enter a little bubble we were in.
“Best christmas presents ever,” He rubbed my hair. I liked it. So I put my hands around his hips and pulled him in closer. “But I haven’t got you any present.
“You don’t have to.”
There was a thin blanket of silence, until he asked, “Tommy, can I ask a question?”
I nodded.
He paused for quite a long time, and said, in a deep, sincere voice, “Do you love me?”
I did pause, too. Not because I didn’t know the answer. I did know exactly the answer, I was sure about it. But because I was surprised to getting him asked me this question.
“You know the answer.”
“I do. I just had to ask it.”
“Well, some wise young man told me that love doesn’t have to be said. You know exactly who that wise young man is.”
He chuckled. I did too.
“I like that wise young man,” he still chuckled.
I could feel his breath. The way his chest move up and down. So steady and calm.
