Day Dreaming

I'm lying on the bed looking up at the ceiling. I can hear her in the bathroom. Water turning off and on, bottles being shaken and

opened, the rustle of clothes moving. She is humming a happy up beat tune as she moves. My kitten walks past me and I run my

hand down his back and scratch his head. The water turns on and off one final time and I can hear her walking down the hall

towards me. She stops in the doorway, I can hear her breathing and I feel her starring at me. I can just imagine the smirk that

slowly forms on her soft lips. My kitten is watching her and I see his head slowly moving to the left. I can't hear her moving, but if

his actions are any clue she is coming towards us. I see a hand come into view and it rubs his little head. He leans into it for a

second and then jumps off the bed. I can feel a weight leaning against the bed between my spread legs. Then her face comes into

view and I can feel her body rest on top of mine. We stare into each other's eyes for a bit and then she leans down the rest of the

way and her lips brush mine in a sweet, soft kiss. I lick her bottom lip, asking for more, but she chuckles and leans back up on her

arms. "What are you doing?" I look into her eyes and smile, "Spying on you." Her head tilts to the right and her left eyebrow lifts up.

"How can you be spying on me in here?" I tilt my head to the left and arch my right eyebrow up. "With my ears. And Miko was

telling me what you were up to." She has that smirk on her face again and leans down to nuzzle my neck. "Oh really? And what did the

little bugger say, hmm?" My breath catches in my throat and my heart starts to beat erratically. A smirk grows on my face, "He says

you feed him the big cat food and not the kitten food." She jerks up and stares at my face and then starts laughing. My smirk turns

in to a grin and I flip us over. She gives a girly squeal and clutches my arms. Her mouth opens and I know she is going to complain,

so I steal her breath with a kiss. After a couple of seconds she deepens the kiss and our tongues battle for dominance. She wins, but

she always wins and it's always amazing. We break apart to catch our breath and I drop down on to my side next to her. She cuddles

closer to me and I hold her in my arms. We just lay there enjoying each other's warmth. I kiss her forehead, "I love you. More than

I can ever express with words." She looks up at me and gives me one of those sweet, soft kisses again, "You don't have to, I can

see it your eyes. I love you too." My eyes are watering and I don't want her to see, so I lean down and steal her breath away again.

*My beautiful Shizuru. How could I have ever have denied us this? I can't imagine ever going a day again without seeing your beautiful

smile and the love in your eyes.* I can feel her hand on my cheek and I lean into it. "We are going to be late, not that I mind, but

missing the plane flight to our own wedding would be embarrassing." I laugh and kiss her cheek, "New York here we come!"
