The next morning I wake up and I realise that now Kensi and me are officially living together. There is just our place now, no more hers or mine. I smile and hug her closer to me. With that movement I see her eyes fluttering open and stare up at me.
"Good morning." She whispers to me.
"Good morning Princess."
She puts her head on my chest and snuggles in closer. I, however, pull back a little to look into her beautiful eyes and pepper her face and neck with kisses. Oh how I would love to stay here forever, with her. She starts giggling and tries to squirm out from under me, but I wrestle her to the bed again and keep kissing her. At some point I feel her relax under me as if she surrendered herself to the moment and she kisses me on my lips passionately. I hold her close and we snuggle in bed a little more. By the time we get up it's around noon and I make us some brunch.
The weather is so bad today, the rain is pouring down and we hear rumblings of thunder in the distance. But I don't really care, because this way we can enjoy our time together at our home. After brunch we move to the couch and cuddle up under a blanket. We put on some Top Model reruns and just enjoy our time together. I absentmindedly kiss her hair and stroke her arm. It feels so normal, so good, so comfortable.
"Hey babe, you still here?" Kens asks me, pulling me out of my thoughts of how incredibly good this feels.
"Huh? Yeah, I'm here. What's up, do you need something? A drink? Does Kensalina need to be fed?" I ramble.
She chuckles at my response and says "No, thank you. I was just wondering where you went, you zoned out on me. Everything okay babe?"
At that comment I smile and say "Everything is fine Princess, I was just enjoying this moment. Us, together, at home, like it was always like this already. It just feels so comfortable, normal. I like it. And I love you."
"Aaahw, you're such a sap!" She giggles "But yeah, it is good. We are good, together. I love you so much Marty."
It's just too much to hear her say that and my face breaks out in a big smile. I lean in and kiss her senseless. This beautiful woman trusts me with her heart and her feelings and I feel extremely proud of that fact. When we break apart I can see her looking at me lovingly. I smile sweetly at her and hold her close. I kiss her head en nuzzle her hair. I can't get enough of this. I feel like my heart will burst any minute now, the feeling is so overwhelming. We just gaze at eachother and hold on tight. My Fern, my princess, my everything.
We keep watching reruns and movies and eat junk food all day long. As soon as the weather clears up a little we decide to take a walk with Monty. We walk in comfortable silence, holding hands and stealing loving glances at eachother.
'I can do this for the rest of our lives' I think as we keep walking hand in hand 'Maybe I should start thinking about buying a ring...'
