staring feels oddly natural at the time.
i'm usually not comfortable in my girlfriend's houses. but right now, i couldn't feel more welcome, curled in her arms, looking up at her.
she looks back down at me. a smirk crawls to her lips that i can't ignore. i grasp onto her tighter, our bodies close, sharing our warmth. i simply smile as she lowers her arm and carcasses my cheek.
this truly is the life.
"babe?" she cooed to me.
"mm?" i replied, my mind going hazy.
"why do you love me?"
my eyes widened as i sat up. "babygirl, why do you ask?"
"i just... i'm curious. nobody has loved me like this before, and it feels like a dream..." she muttered.
i huffed. i hope she wouldn't ask, but i knew it would come eventually. a lot of people i've dated were like this. often their first time dating, or first time dating a girl. but every time i poured my heart out....
ah, fuck it.
"i love you because you're you. and i love you because you're mine. i love your personality, i love the way you speak your mind, i love the way you act and speak and look, and i love how you're not...anyone else."
she looked into my eyes deeply, and giggled quietly. "you're really something."
my eyes flickered from hers to her lips. a couple seconds of silence followed before i decided it was time. i quickly leaned forward and locked my lips with hers, passionately, lovingly, claiming her as mine. she melted into it as her face softened.
it felt amazing to fall asleep next to her.
