This is my contribution to the mood challenge at the Carby Board.

Once again thanks to everyone for the reviews on my last fic - schoolwork is getting the better of me at the moment but as soon as I've failed all my exams I'll be back with some more stuff hopefully ;-)

*****

Giddy: Affected with a dizzy sensation and feeling if about to fall.

My head's spinning.

I can barely see straight.

Falling deeper and deeper into her arms.

I feel completely exhausted, and yet somehow I manage to move my gaze downwards to meet a pair of brown pools shining back at me.

Catch me, sweetheart.

The room's a blur, my surroundings all merging into a twilight haze, yet there's one image I can see clearer than the light of day. And it's one that's enough to leave me bewildered.

She's stunning.

Many times I've lay awake at night just watching her sleep, trying to think of words to describe her. One keeps coming back to haunt me, no matter how many more I think of.

Simply stunning.

Slowly and softly, I use our interlaced fingers to pull her up to meet me, sending quivering vibes through my skin as our chests graze against each other.

She lets go of my hands, running her fingers through my hair. I'm completely fixated on her face just inches above mine. Nothing else matters.

Nothing at all.

She smiles, leaning down to brush her lips across mine, leaving me breathless within seconds. She moves across my cheek to my ear, opening her mouth slightly. The noise she makes comes out as a hushed whisper, gently slicing through the still night air.

"It's been a while. . . "

Damn right it has.

I swallow, and wait until she's back in my view before answering, my voice taking the same tone as hers.

"Too long."

Far too long.

She exhales slowly, kissing the tip of my nose before settling down with her head on my chest, legs entwined.

I reach down to her thigh, tracing heart patterns with my fingers along the smooth surface of her skin. Her hairs stand up on end as we make contact, something that amazes and comforts me all in one fell swoop.

I can feel her chest rising and falling against mine with each breath she takes, her heartbeat slowing to its resting state.

God, I love her.

I really, really do.

She brings new dimensions to the word, redefining the limits of what two people can achieve with every hour of her existence.

Redefining love.

Redefining me.

Redefining us.

Suddenly I feel the urge to gather her in my arms just to be even closer to her. And unlike many other aspects of our relationship that remain undone, it's exactly what I do.

Wrapping my arms around her back, I bury my nose in her neck. I take a moment to savour the scent of her skin, knowing that it's something that will forever be embedded in me.

"I missed you"

She seems surprised at my voice, lifting her head slightly as I speak again.

"So much."

Sliding her body over mine, she reaches up and places her lips to mine. Tenderly, delicately. . .barely even touching. But she's there.

"Me too."

She caught me.

She always does.
