Chapter Four
At eight o'clock the next morning, Hermione's eyes fluttered open and landed on the gorgeous woman whom had silently slipped into her bed at some point in the night and now held her protectively as she continued to sleep. Hermione smiled sweetly as she watched her love sleep, she was half expecting to wake up and it all having been a dream, she would still be in her bedroom at home – her parents' house – this was her home now, where Minerva was. Just a few minutes later, Minerva too awoke and smiled.
"Good morning." Hermione smiled and pressed a kiss to her forehead.
"Good morning love." Minerva's voice was full of sleep. Minerva pressed her lips to Hermione's and pulled Hermione closer to her.
"Not wanting to get out of bed today, Erva?"
"No. I like that."
"What?"
"Erva."
"Than that is what I shall call you." Hermione smiled, pleased that Minerva liked her nickname, and she silently hoped that Minerva had one for her.
"Then I shall call you Mina."
"That's different, but I like it."
"Good." Minerva once again pressed her lips to Hermione's and she deepened the kiss. "I love you Mina." Minerva gasped when they came up for air.
"I love you too Erva." Hermione gasped back.
The couple lay there happily talking about everything and nothing, exchanging small touches and kisses here and there.
Slowly, two hours later, Hermione decided it would be good to get out of bed and have some food, so, she slid out from between the sheets, kissed Minerva on the nose and headed for her bathroom to shower and dress. Sighing, Minerva too got out of bed and headed to her bathroom, guessing that Hermione probably wasn't ready to share a shower yet.
Half an hour later, Minerva joined Hermione in front of the blazing fire in the living room and brought her into her arms as she sat on the sofa next to her young love. Hermione instantly relaxed into her sighed contently.
"Are you okay, Mina?"
"Just very, very happy." Hermione smiled up at Minerva and brushed her lips gently across her throat. "I don't want to ever be apart from you Erva. I love you with all my heart."
"I too never want to apart from you Mina and I will do everything in my power to stay by your side. I love you with all of my being." Minerva gently pressed her lips to Hermiones' and held her close.
Before the pair knew what time it was, the sun had been replaced by the beauty of the stars and moon and they were once again sharing a bed, only this time, they showed each other just how much they loved them.
