RPOV
I walked through my building and I knew she was here. I knew she would be the feelings that have been flowing over me once I was done holding back I knew she was done holding back too. I know we have to talk about things, and I hope she doesn't get too stubborn regarding the safety and training I need for her to start doing. It's going to be a battle, but with enough finesse I am sure she will come around. No one can finesse my Babe like I can.
I take the stairs two at a time, trying to exercise this pent up frustrations. I don't want to be a minuteman when I have her underneath me. However round one may go quicker than either of us would like. Dios, I need to stop thinking about being inside of her, I don't want whoever is on monitor duty to start gossiping on how I had a teenage moment in the stairwell. I make it up to my apartment; I'm expecting her waiting for me at the front door. But that was a silly expectation, that's not her. I glance in the kitchen and notice she's not there, nor is she in the living room. That only leaves my bedroom or bathroom; I think she loves both equally. I walk into my bedroom and there laid out for me is the woman I love. She is breathtakingly beautiful; I take her sight in like a man in the desert greedily takes a glass of water. She holds her arms out for me, there are no words needed, we have to hold each other. Nothing else matters in the world except for getting MY BABE into my arms.
Home I am Home! No matter where she is as long as she is there it is my home. I hear her sigh as it was my own satisfaction.
I respond in the only way I can "Babe".
She pulls away from me but I grab her so she won't go too far. "Is the madness over? Is it time for someday?"
"Yea Babe, it is." I answered her heart felt questions then followed it up by kissing her with all the love and longing I have felt for her. We continued to show our love for each other through out the night. When it was time for words we told each other the decisions we've made; that I am finally going to open up to her, and her to take her safety and training more seriously. In the break of dawn on a new day I got a little nervous on telling her the next decision I made. But I know I couldn't just tell her, I have to ask her, and a please can never go wrong when dealing with Steph. So I am going to give her all her options and persuade her to make the same decision that I have already made.
"Steph, my Babe, now that we are finally ready for that someday will you please move in with me? It can be here, or we can get a place together. If you really want we could even move into your apartment, although I'd rather we didn't it isn't too safe and it would take too much to secure it properly. But after this night together I don't think I can be away from you for a single night. We have wasted too much time as it is. If I could I would go back in time so that I could meet you earlier than we did, just so I would have more time to love you. Eternity isn't enough time for us. There will never be enough time for us!"
All of a sudden she starts laughing. Laughing so hard that tears are running down her face and she can't get her breath. If I wasn't confident in her love for me, or be able to feel it wrap itself around me I would be worried that this would be a flat denial. However I know better!
After a few minutes she gets herself under control, then caresses my face "Oh my personal Batman, you've got to be more aware of your surroundings." Then she kisses my forehead the moves to kiss each of my eyes followed by my nose moving to my left cheek leaving a light as air kiss and doing the same to my right cheek. Finally she settles her lips on mine. The intensity of her kisses would have made my knees weak; it is another miracle that I am already in bed. Once our kiss has ended, she waves her hands around the room trying to imitate Vanna White. When it dawns on me, Rex was already in the kitchen making his wheel squeak with his entire mighty hamster might and all of her things are already in my bedroom and in the apartment. Our apartment!
A/N: Janet owns them and Muse opened the path for them to follow. I was just the device that brought them together.
Margaret, thank you for being my sounding board! YOU ARE AWESOME!
