Would She?
As she lay in bed next to George, who snored lightly. Whom she loved ever so much and her children who slept downstairs. Alanna wondered what her life would have been like if she'd married Jon all those years ago,if she'd said yes that night in the desert.
Would she have been the warrior she was now, or would he have stopped that?
Would she and George still known each other, or would that have fallen apart?
Would she lay in bed tonight as happy and content as she was now?, she didn't think so.
As she drifted off to sleep Alanna knew in her heart that things were as they were meant to be and that all she could do was to keep living her adventurous lifestyle and hope that she would be close to her husband and children until the end of her days.
'You know l cant sleep properly when you lay stock still like that and think constantly' said a husky voice from the other side of the bed.
'I thought you were asleep George' said Alanna sleepily as she rolled over to look at him, but soon woke up when his arm snaked its way around her body pulling her closer to him until she could lay her head against his bare chest.
'And what my l ask my dear is causing you to think so much' asked George softly. Alanna snuggled in closer to him.
'I was just thinking how wonderful my life was because I'm with you and not someone else' replied Alanna just as softly tilting her head upward to look him in the eye. George slowly lowered his mouth to her, softly kissing them.
'And your happy you married me, once a city rouge?' he asked gently caressing her face with his hand.
'I've never been or will ever be happier than I am that I'm with you George' said Alanna wrapping her arms around his bare torso.
'I love you George, and l will never stop' said Alanna going to sleep, soon snoring slightly.
'I love you too lass' said George softly kissing the top of Alanna's sleepy head.
