Short update...Enjoy :)


After their sexual encounter on the cold bathroom floor, Punk was enjoying his bubble bath complete with Liz.

"I must say you have the best tub ever."

"I'm aware, it's the only reason I signed the lease. I honestly hated everything else about the place with the exception of the neighborhood, but when I saw the tub and the closet I decided I could live with everything else."

"You seriously picked your apartment based off of a tub and a closet? Wow! At least now I know if we ever had to go house hunting all I have to worry about is the tub and the closet, you don't care about the rest!"

"Well I loved everything once I was able to redecorate, but I'm not very hard to please."

"So I am learning. I think you forgot to wash my right shoulder, sponge me please." Liz let out a laugh as she sponged his right shoulder for what seemed like the tenth time. He was taking advantage of this bubble bath, but he was relaxed and happy, so she did as he asked.

"I hope you're almost done in here because my toes are getting wrinkly, which is not attractive."

"Who cares! Most chicks would be into this. It's like that movie with the hooker that was played by Julia Roberts."

"Pretty Woman? Are you trying to compare yourself to Richard Gere right now?"

"No way, I'm way hotter then him. Clooney might give me a run for my money, but I'd beat Gere hands down."

"It's adorable how big your ego is. You love yourself a lot don't you?"

"Yeah, but I love other things more."

"Like what?"

"My job, my sisters, my friends, you." Liz felt her jaw drop open and replayed what he said in her mind making sure she had heard him correctly.

"Wow..."

"What?" Punk stood up, stepped out of the tub, and grabbed a towel wrapping it around his waist before turning back to her.

"What? Do you know what you just said?" Liz stayed in the tub feeling like her legs had turned to Jello.

"Yeah, I said I love you, well not those exact words, but something close to it."

"That's the first time you've ever told me that."

"Yeah I know, but don't worry it won't be the last." He leaned down and kissed her before handing her a towel. Liz was still slightly shocked and wasn't paying attention as she stepped out of the tub until she felt her foot slip. Lucky for her Punk figured this was going to happen and caught her before she hit the ground.

"I know you haven't been home a lot lately, but you really need to buy a bath mat before you end up breaking something." Liz smirked as she gripped the towel wrapped around her.

"I know I do and I'll get around to it sooner or later, but right now I'm going to make food." Liz picked up her discarded clothes and went to walk out the door.

"Hey Liz," Liz dropped the clothes in a pile on her bedroom floor and turned back to face Punk, "I love you." Liz smiled as he walked over to her and pressed his lips to hers.

"I love you too." Liz broke from his grasp, putting on underwear and one of Punk's shirts, "By the way, the clothes you left in Portland are in my top drawer. You really should stop leaving your stuff everywhere, that's how things get lost." Liz left the bedroom and made her way to the kitchen. Even though he'd said it multiple times, it was still surreal that Punk had finally expressed how he felt about her. Liz couldn't help but smile with how the day had turned out, but she still couldn't ignore what would happen in the coming months when they'd both be thrown deep into their careers and a relationship would be the least of their priorities.
