Brennan.
I woke up early the next morning. And instead of feeling that clutching, horrible collapse in my chest when I realised it was a dream, I rolled over
to come face to face with a drooling, snoring Jesse. I smiled at his slack face and shuffled closer, luxuriating in his warmth. I breathed in the scent
of him and smiled again. Now I knew everything would be ok. I still had scars that needed to heal, I still had pain and angst set deep in my soul, I
still had bad deeds to atone for but I also had Jesse. And as I looked at his sweet, innocent face I knew that while a new day would never strip
my soul of sin and pain, a new day with him would. The sight of Jesse sleeping peacefully made me feel purer and happier than I had since the
day of my birth, and every day would be like today, a first day, a new day, a day with the man I loved.
Jesse.
I woke up, my eyes fluttering open to find Brennan watching me. I smiled and moved closer to kiss him. Life was good and I didn't regret a thing,
knew I never would. Me and Brennan fit perfectly and I knew now that I loved him, hell I couldn't help it, and certainly didn't want to!
"Morning, how long have you been watching me?" Brennan grinned slyly,
"Oh, only a minute or two. In fact not nearly long enough, go back to sleep! I want to remember the sight of you" I laughed and felt my heart do a
clichéd little leap,
"Sorry Bren, but I guess you'll have to wait till tomorrow morning – I'm already up. Speaking of which…" I slid closer and as I slipped into his arms,
my lips meeting his, I thought, I'd was right, life isn't like TV…Its better.
