The Fray - Rainy Zurich.
It was late when Sue and Simon finally left, leaving the shattered pair to relish in each other's company.
Vix had fallen asleep on the couch, so Nikki scooped her up, her limp body light in Nikki's toned arms. She scaled the stairs with ease and placed her sleeping beauty on their bed. The brunette smiled at Vix's peaceful form. She reached to brush some stray caramel locks from her angelic face, when the younger woman stirred.
Her eyes opened, seeing nothing but darkness at first but soon developing into the shape of Nikki's face. She smiled instantly, reaching for Nikki's hand where it rested on her cheekbone, taking it in her own. "Hey." She breathed raspily, her voice not quite prominent.
Nikki smiled, reaching over to the lamp to switch it on. "Hi." She smirked slightly. "I am shattered, can we go to bed?" She said, stifling a yawn. Vix nodded, and began wriggling out of her jeans. Nikki shrugged off her casual white shirt, tossing it over the end of the bed.
Before long, both women were under the covers in a tangle of limbs, ready for sleep. Nikki switched the lamp off, sending the room into complete darkness, once again.
After a few minutes of silence, Vix spoke up from where her head rested in the crook of Nikki's neck. "Nikki?" She whispered into the darkness. "Mmm?" The brunette half-heartedly answered, her eyes closed as she held her lover close, contently. "I'm glad we're home." Vix answered.
Nikki opened her eyes to look at Vix then, sea blue meeting chocolate brown in the half light. "You are?" She asked, surprised. Vix nodded. "we're safer here, don't you see?" She began. "My whole family is here to look out for us." She smiled, tracing circles on Nikki's hip bone with her finger.
"I thought you liked it in Berlin though?" She asked. "I did, but it's just not the place for us right now." She gazed off into the distance, as if searching for the right words. "And, maybe when we're old and wrinkly, we can go back and live there again."
Nikki's face lit up in the dark room. She couldn't suppress the grin that was spreading slowly across her face. "You still want to be with me when we're old and wrinkly?" She beamed.
Vix looked her in the eye again, her soft, manicured hand taking Nikki's cheek. "Nikki, I want to be with you for the rest of my life..." she smiled that dazzling smile that melted Nikki inside, the one she only saw every so often, like the day she told Vix she loved her for the first time, and when she popped the question.
Nikki was grinning like an idiot. "God, I love you. I really really love you." She pulled her close, kissing her tenderly on the lips, both of them full of love for each other, and my God, it showed.
