When I woke up, it was 10 a.m. Dave was still sleeping soundly. He had his arms wrapped around me, so I turned to face him slowly, careful not to jostle him or unhook his arms. I managed to turn over so I was facing him. Our noses were touching and I took my hand and ran it through his hair. It was so soft. I loved his curls. I ran my fingers through them a few more times before resting my right one on his cheek. He looked so peaceful when he slept. Like an angel. A blue eyed, curly haired angel. While my hand was on his cheek, I got the sudden urge to just touch his whole face. I took my fingers and gently ran them over his eyes, his nose, his lips. I lingered there for a while tracing them. He parted his lips slightly, catching me off guard. I pulled my hand back just a bit, but he grabbed it and placed it back on his lips. He chuckled. "That tickles. I like it," he breathed. I smiled and kept tracing his lips. He was smiling the whole time. I held my finger right in the middle of his lips and couldn't help but laugh when he kissed it. I pulled my hand away and placed it on his cheek again then kissed him. It was such a sweet kiss. Nothing major, nothing sloppy, no tongue actually. We just kissed... and we kissed for a long time. We just kind of laid there on our sides kissing. The sun was shining through my window making everything perfect. When I opened my eyes, our foreheads were touching as were our noses. I was looking into his eyes just in a daze. I kept my hand on his cheek. We just kind of laid there with my hand like that and his wrapped around my waist holding me as close to him as possible for a long time. I honestly don't know how long. I decided to try and intertwine our legs together. I wrapped my right leg around his left one as we twisted them together.

"I love you, Dave. I'm sorry about Marcus' questions, by the way," asking if he wore a condom? Okay I get he was just making sure. God forbid I become one of those girls on "16 and Pregnant." I actually appreciated Marcus' concern.

"I love you, too, Mindy. Don't worry about it. He's just trying to protect you. I get where he's coming from. I want to protect you as much as possible, too."

"Thank you, Dave. Thank you." I hugged him. "By the way... Marcus isn't going to be home until 4... Do you maybe want to... you know..." I didn't want to ask him flat out! I'm too shy to be so straight forward. He got what I was asking, though. I saw a flash of something resembling desire flash in his eyes. He smiled and so did I.

"You sure? I'm leaving it up to you."

"I'm sure. One question, though. Did you bring more than one...?" I didn't really enjoy the word 'condom.' It was one of those words on my "I'd rather not say" list along with 'panties.' Ew.

"You think I'd do anything without one? Silly. Yeah I have four more in my wallet. I always carry them with me. Just incase." I breathed a sigh of relief. I knew if he didn't have another he would have told me, though. He reached over me and pulled another colorful package out of his wallet. He opened it and fumbled around with it under the sheets for a few seconds before looking at me. "I'm good." I smiled and we started kissing again. This time, it was more intense. Sloppier, but still very sweet. I laid back down and he took my shirt off. He threw his shirt and boxers aside, too. I knew it wouldn't hurt, but I was still nervous.

"I'm still self conscious, but I don't know why." I admitted.

"It'll go away soon. Trust me I was very self conscious with you the first time, too."

"Really? I couldn't tell."

"It's because I realized it doesn't matter how I look naked. You love me either way. That's all that matters. Just like I love you no matter what. Plus you have nothing to be self conscious about. Mindy, you're absolutely beautiful. I don't know how you don't see that. Surely you must know how gorgeous you are?"

"I mean I guess so. I just... I don't know. I don't have tits. My teeth aren't perfect..."

"You're worried about the size of your tits? Really? You know, there are a lot of guys who could care less about that. I'm one of them. As for your teeth... what-the-fuck-ever. You have a beautiful smile. Seriously, Mindy. Don't worry about anything. You're perfect." I smiled. "You ready?"

"Yes." Shaky voice came out. "I'm ready, Dave. I promise." That's better. Squeaky voice left. With that said, I felt something new. No pain this time. I felt pure pleasure. The moans started immediately. I was kind of embarrassed, but I threw that insecurity away. It felt like a million fireworks had just been set off in my body. He started out easy just to get me used to it, I think. Within a few more seconds, however, slow and steady just wasn't working for me anymore. I managed to squeak out the word "faster" and he obeyed. Seemed like this pace was easier not only for me, but for him, too. Going slow was tough for him and I knew it. I could not explain how amazing it feels being with him like this. I could never imagine myself with anyone else this way. Only Dave. I started cussing again. Dave laughed a bit at my foul language but I couldn't give a shit. This feeling going through my whole body was so fucking amazing. I screamed in pleasure in spite of myself. I never thought I'd feel something so amazing I'd actually scream out loud, but the way we were moving together in such perfect rhythm, I screamed more than I thought I would. Dave didn't mind at all. He just smiled and kept going. We both reached our limit and felt the familiar sensation together yet again. I smiled and chuckled. He smiled back and kissed me again. He looked me in the eye and kissed the edge of my mouth, my neck and shoulders, down my chest and stomach to my belly button. He stopped and looked at me from under the sheets, then continued to kiss down the length of my body. Before I could ask what he was doing, I arched my back and threw my head back into the pillow. I knew where he was kissing now. He didn't stop there. He continued down my leg, kissing my thighs, then went back up. I felt the pleasure start again as he made his way back up to my neck. I smiled at him.

"I approve," I told him slightly winded.

"You do, do you?" He smiled. "You approve of my, uh, going down on you... so to speak?"

"Is that even a question?" I giggled.

"...Want me to do it again?" He laughed.

"Dude, you're asking some pretty obvious questions here. It's up to you this time." He looked at me and smiled. He kissed my mouth again, moving down my neck and chest again, down my stomach, not stopping at my belly button this time. Again, I felt my back arch up and my head fly into my pillows. This time, a few strangled moans escaped. After a few minutes, I felt him make his way back up. He made one more stop on the way. I guess my "I don't have tits" statement got to him. Maybe he was trying to prove me wrong. It felt kind of... different. In a good way, though. It was nothing huge. Just little kisses, but still. He moved the rest of the way back up to kiss my lips once more. I was laughing while we kissed. He pulled back and gave me a confused look.

"Did my statement about how I have no tits get to you?"

"I guess it did. Plus, I mean, I just want you to be happy. You shouldn't feel insecure about anything." He rolled to look me in the eyes. "Remember when I told you I felt insecure the first time with you? I remember thinking to myself 'what if she thinks I look like shit naked?' but then something clicked and I realized I didn't care. You already told me you loved me, so I had a feeling that you would love me no matter what I looked like naked. That's how I want you to feel. Like you don't have to be scared of what I'll think. I love you and that won't ever change. Ever." I couldn't breathe. He was right. I couldn't help doing what I did next.

I pulled him on top of me and kissed him like I've never kissed him before. It was long. It was hot. It was perfect.

After a long while of kissing, he rolled to lay beside me and kissed me once more. It took me a minute to realize we were both covered in sweat. I could feel it dripping down my face. When he stopped kissing me, I made the stupidest joke.

"You look hot," how CHEESY! I had to say that. Couldn't keep it in, could ya, Mindy? I closed my eyes. "Wow, that was fucking cheesy." I opened my eyes to see his face twisted with laughter. He burst out laughing uncontrollably. I joined him.

"You look hot, too! I don't mean just the sweat. You really do look hot." Whoa. I just got called hot. He smiled and kissed my forehead. I smiled, too.

"Hey I have an idea."

"Let me hear it."

"Why don't we call Todd and Marty and invite them to Atomic Comics? I kinda want to check out the new comics. Sound okay?" I hadn't bee to Atomic Comics in ages.

"That sounds awesome! I think Todd and Marty would really like that." Neither one of us got up. We just stayed facing each other laying in bed. He took my idea and intertwined our legs together again. He took his left foot and rubbed up and down my leg raising goosebumps. He smiled when he felt them. "I gave you goosebumps, didn't I?"

"No shit, Sherlock," I laughed. "Maybe we can wait a while before we head out. Just so we can lay here and not do a damn thing for a while. Just be here together." That sounded awesome to me.

"Sounds even better." With that said, he grabbed my waist and pulled me so I was on top of him. I smiled and laid my head on his chest. He rubbed my arm making more goosebumps. I laughed. "Mindy?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you know how much I love you?"

"Hopefully as much as I love you." I smiled.

"I'd say more." He chuckled.

"No fucking way, dude."

"Oh really, now? Okay. Humor me."

"I can't even describe it. I don't think I've ever in my life loved anything as much as I love you. I never will, either."

"I've never felt this way... about anyone or anything." That was a surprise.

"Not even for her?"

"Hell no. Look at me," I propped myself onto my elbow to look at him. "She can't hold a candle to you, Mindy. Even when we were together, I can honestly say I was never in love with her. There's absolutely no comparison. I mean... you're everything to me." We smiled at each other. I laid back down on his chest.

"So... I'd say we love each other equally." I felt him chuckle. I closed my eyes for a few seconds to soak all this in.
