All Of Me

Ruhma and Heston were sat together on the sofa, their eyes focused on the television in front of them but not really paying attention, each were too wrapped up in the other.

Heston had one arm around his partner, with the other he was holding he was resting on her partner's chest, she could hear his heart beating.

Heston smiled as Ruhma nuzzled into him- he'd learnt that when she was comfortable, she would absolutely not move until necessary.

Ruhma lifted her head to smile at her other half, resting her chin on his shoulder and closing her eyes contentedly. "I love you, Heston." She sighed contentedly.

"I love you too." He replied.

It had taken months for both of them to open up to one another properly- only recently had Heston said the L word.

Ruhma, who had taken a long time to break down the barriers that she had put up around herself, had simply taken his hand, looked into his eyes, and nodded.

"You know, you're the only person in my life, apart from the kids, who loved me entirely for who I am." Said Ruhma. "My parents were very strict, and obviously my ex wasn't the nicest of people. We have something special, Heston."

"I know we do. Ruhma, I will never stop loving you, I'm not going anywhere."

"Me too." She replied, yawning. "Bed? We have work tomorrow.

"Mm, not till the afternoon though." Heston winked.

Ruhma caught on. "If that's what you were after I'd have taken you to bed sooner."

"Great minds think alike." Replied Heston.
