Ch. 28 Head Over Heels
(CLARE)
"So you've been living at Owen's over a week now any word from either of your parents?" Adam asks as Owen and I came into the basement and sat on the sofa with him, Drew and Bianca.
"Not at all they haven't called or anything. I was really happy when they didn't even try to fight the guardianship but I haven't heard anything from either one and it's been nine days. I'm beginning to think they died or just stopped caring all together." I tell them in a somewhat sorrowful tone.
"They just know it's best for you to be living at my house." Owen assures me giving me a gentle kiss.
"So I know you're going out with Hot Legs and your family for your birthday tomorrow night but maybe we can come over and hang out for the day? You know meet your brother finally go swimming, throw Adam in the pool." Bianca teases.
"Sure sounds good," Owen says.
"You are not throwing me in the pool." Adam states.
"I don't know there's four of us and one of you," Bianca smirks.
"So what do you want for your birthday?" Drew asks Owen.
"I already got what I wanted," Owen replies putting me on his lap and kissing my neck.
"That's what he always says," I tell them rolling my eyes.
"But it's true," Owen says sounding wounded.
"There must be something else you want for your birthday besides me," I counter putting my arms around his neck.
"Nope," he shakes his head.
I think he's lying but I still catch his lips for a kiss, we probably would have continued kissing if my cell phone didn't start ringing.
"Is it one of her parents?" Owen asks in a hard tone as Adam gets the cell phone from my purse.
"No it's Alli," Adam says handing me the phone.
I get off of Owen's lap, take Adam's hand and pull him up the stairs to the kitchen answering just before it goes to voicemail.
"Hey Alli," I answer with a nervous smile.
"You are a hard woman to find! I don't have long but I wanted to say hi. Jenna said she hasn't seen you in weeks and you're not on facerange at all. You don't even answer your e-mails." Alli scolds.
"Sorry Alli I've been busy, been hanging out with Adam a lot," it's not a complete lie; I'm just omitting some details. "Say hi Adam," I insist putting the phone close to him.
"Hi Alli," Adam says loudly and I put the phone back to my ear.
"Well as long as you're having a good summer. My summer has been great and I'll tell you all about it when I get back but Mom is going to kill me for this phone call. I have another month here, I get back on August 29th and I'll call you when I get back. Love you bestie bye." Alli says.
"You too bestie," I reply hanging up and Adam is giving me a scolding look. "I wasn't lying and what was I supposed to tell her?" I ask sitting down at the breakfast bar and Adam sits next to me.
"You didn't think telling her while she was seven thousand miles away would have been better than telling her when she was here?" Adam asks.
"No way you know Alli the first thing she would have done is tell Jenna and post it on facerange. She still doesn't like Owen and she doesn't like your brother or Bianca either so telling her I'm not just dating but living with Owen and I've not only been spending my whole summer with you but Drew and Bianca she'd pop a gasket. Then she'd have a whole month to stew in her anger and think of ways to hurt me when she gets back. She'd tell everyone and Owen and I would spend the next month getting accosted more than likely. I just know people aren't going to react well at least not my friends. I mean Eli went ballistic when he found out." I lament to Adam.
"Besides you Eli is my best friend but for Eli going ballistic isn't a long trip. I'm okay with you and Owen, I think you guys are great together I was even ready to be a groomsman at your wedding and I still am, I definitely see you guys getting married someday. You're not embarrassed to be with Owen are you?" Adam asks.
"No Adam I love Owen more than anything and I was ready to marry him, I still am and I know we'll get married someday. I just know that Alli isn't going to be okay with us. You weren't at first, not until you saw us together. Alli's one of my best friends and I love her but she's…self centered a lot of the time and I worry that she's going to see me dating Owen as a betrayal or something. I don't think Jenna will react much better and I have no idea about K.C. because he's friends with both of us. Dave, Wes and Connor will probably just think I went crazy or they'll side with Alli. Owen's friends and all the guys on the hockey and football teams will probably just want to know if we've had sex yet." I remark.
"And then Owen will probably hit them." Adam adds and I laugh. "So the plan is still to just let everyone know on the first day of school?" Adam questions.
"I don't know what else to do Adam, I'm happy really happy, more than I ever have been and I don't want to be fighting with my friends before school starts and ruin it." I tell him.
"You know Drew, Bianca and me will support you guys no matter what." Adam assures me.
"I know, no matter what we have you guys and I appreciate it." I tell Adam kissing his cheek.
"Yep it's Hot Legs, Hubby Boyfriend, Caveman, Queenie and Bashful against the world!" Owen says suddenly as he wraps his arms around me from behind.
"Yeah no one's going to mess with the five of us we're fantastic separately and fabulous together," Bianca smiles.
"That's it we're the Fab Five," Adam chuckles and we all laugh.
"Let's go do something; we spent all week at our house except for yesterday when we went to Owen's." Drew comments.
"It's only two in the afternoon no parties yet." Owen says.
"I think we should take Adam back to the ravine tonight I bet Diana and Lily missed you," Bianca teases and Adam blushes. "For now let's go to the go kart track." Bianca suggests.
"To the go kart track!" Owen says picking me up over his shoulder and heading for the front door.
"Wait I need my purse," I laugh.
"We'll get it; we'll meet you guys outside we have to lock up the basement." Adam says.
"Cool we'll take my car," Owen replies opening the front door and carrying me out to his car. He unlocks the door and sets me in the passenger seat, sitting on the edge with my legs out the door. "You know that we can tell everyone else about us whenever and however you want but they're going to notice when we get to school and I won't let go of you." Owen tells me.
I smile, putting my arms around his neck and affixing my lips to his. "I know I just don't think there's a good way to tell people and it has nothing to do with you."
"Yes it does," Owen interrupts me, "but it's my own fault. I was a jerk last year and now we're both paying for it because we can't just march over to K.C. and Jenna's and tell them we're dating because K.C. might punch me. Which he might do on the first day of school anyway. It's okay though I don't care what happens as long as I have you," he says kissing me, "and our three best friends." Owen adds as the other three walk up behind us.
Everyone gets in the car and Owen drives to the go kart track. After paying we go out and get in our go karts. Owen, Drew and Adam immediately start racing each other and not to be left out Bianca joins in. I'm happy just to drive around the track until Adam bumps me from behind and then I start racing them too. I really have no idea who won because everyone claimed that they did. Tired and hot from racing we went inside and played around in the arcade for a while. Owen and Drew played table hockey for almost an hour but Owen beat Drew 5 games to 3. Drew beat him in the basket toss game though. Bianca and I played skee ball while Adam played pinball until his phone rang.
"That was Mom she and Dad are going to a party at the Cunningham's tonight. She said we just have to be home by curfew." Adam tells us.
"Awesome we're going to the ravine." Bianca smiles.
"Let's grab some dinner first, I'm starving." I state.
"Yeah I'm hungry too; we can eat at the Dot and walk from there." Owen says.
We go back out to the car and Owen drives us to the Dot. Fitz glares at us when we go in and Owen and the others glare right back. We sit in a booth near the window and Fitz comes over to take our order, he's professional but he spends the whole time glaring at Owen. After we order and Fitz brings our drinks I gently push Owen out of the booth so I can use the washroom. When I get out of the washroom Fitz is blocking my way back into the café. He looks mad and for a minute I'm shocked and little scared, it's enough time for him to drag me outside through the back. He keeps hold of my wrist even when we get outside.
"How could you be with Owen and not me?!" He demands and for the first and probably only time ever Fitz reminds me of Eli.
"You never asked me out," I reply.
"YES I DID! I SAID YOU SHOULD BE WITH ME AND NOT ELI!" Fitz yells tightening his grip on my wrist and jerking me violently.
"Fitz you're hurting me!" I whimper.
Fitz looks remorseful and lets go of my wrist, I turn and race back inside.
"Everything okay you were gone for a while?" Owen asks.
"Yeah fine," I reply not really sure what to tell them.
Fitz stays out back for a while; he must be on break or lunch. When he does come back he doesn't come back to our table and when we leave he gives me a sorrowful look but still glares at Owen. We walk down to the ravine, it's barely dusk but it's Saturday night so there's already a bunch of people there including Pauly, Johnny, Bruce, Shelly, Cody, Marissa, Chris, Lily and Diana.
"Bashful's here!" Diana exclaims happily when she sees Adam.
"Yay!" Lily says clapping her hands together excitedly.
"My brother has groupies," Drew exclaims with a proud tone as Diana and Lily run up to Adam and link their arms with his.
"They're the Bashful Girls," Bianca smiles.
"Bashful's Babes," I suggest.
"Yes I love it!" Lily says.
"Me too, Bashful's Babe's." Diana squeals and both girls kiss Adam's cheeks and he blushes.
We grab drinks, Owen, Drew and Bianca get beers and Adam and me sodas and then we all sit down near the bonfire. We greet the others and I start sipping my soda trying to ignore how much my wrist was throbbing apparently it was throbbing for a good reason because when Owen caught sight of it he took my hand and looked at it.
"What happened? Who the hell grabbed your wrist so hard?!" Owen demands.
"Fitz," I confess, "he wanted to know why I was dating you and not him."
Owen stands up quickly and takes a couple of angry steps before I hop up and grab his arm.
"Let me go! I'm going to go back there and pound into his face that you're mine and that we're not only dating but you're living with me! If he ever even looks at you again I'll rip out his eyes!" Owen states angrily with a murderous look in his own eyes.
"Owen don't please! Fitz was your friend and I don't want you fighting with him. He was upset; he let me go as soon as I told him he was hurting me. Just let it go, I'm fine it'll be a bruise and anyway I already have a bracelet to cover a bruise on my wrist." I remind him but this doesn't make him any happier. "Owen I'm okay please, come back and sit down. I don't want you to have any bruises for your birthday," I argue putting my hand on his chest and standing on my tiptoes gingerly putting my lips on his.
He relaxes into the kiss and finally calms down a little. "Okay I'll let it go, for now but if he ever touches you or bothers you again I'm gonna kill him." Owen tells me, putting his arm around me and we sit down again.
"So you two are living together now?" Johnny asks and almost everyone else is looking at us.
"Yeah, I moved in last week after my mom's boyfriend attacked me and Owen came to my rescue. His parent's are my guardians now, they had papers drawn up." I tell them.
"Cool," says Johnny and that's the last of it.
I hope everyone else takes it that easily but I doubt they will. We spend the rest of the night just talking and hanging out with everyone until it's time for Drew and Adam to get home. After dropping Drew and Adam at home and Bianca at her car Owen drives us home.
"You know it's after midnight, it's officially your birthday." I tell Owen when we get into bed before pressing my lips to his. "Happy Birthday Hubby Boyfriend."
He smiles pulling me back to him for another kiss.
(OWEN)
"Your father and I have to go in to our offices for a few hours but we'll be back to get you guys for dinner. Remember to dress nicely because we're going to Grayson's at the St. Drake." Mom reminds us as we all eat breakfast, Mom made my favorite pancakes in honor of my birthday and they were almost as good as Clare's waffles.
"We know we'll dress up. Some of our friends are going to come over and hang out for the day but they'll leave by four." I tell my parents.
"That's fine Honey." Mom replies.
After breakfast Clare and I go to my room and lay on my bed watching TV while we wait for Drew and the others to call to tell us they're on their way. It isn't long before they call and Clare and I get dressed and ready hearing the doorbell ring when Clare's doing her hair I go out to answer it just as Tris comes down the stairs.
"Hey guys," I greet them opening the door and stepping aside so they can come in.
"Hey where's Clare?" Adam asks as we walk into the living room.
"Doing her hair, she'll be out in a minute. Guys this is my kid brother Tristan. Tris this Drew, Adam and Bianca they're our best friends." I make the introductions.
"Nice to meet you guys, I'm going to Tori's we'll back for dinner. Have fun today you guys." Tris smiles and waves as he leaves.
"Your brothers gay and you were still that much of an ass last year?!" Adam admonishes.
"I got mad at him too. Hey guys." Clare says coming up to join us.
"Let's go to the rec room I want to beat Drew at pool." Bianca says.
"I will kick your ass at pool Queenie," Drew shoots back.
They run up the stairs and we follow them, Drew and Bianca start playing pool so Adam and I play foosball. After Drew beats Bianca at pool and I beat Adam at foosball Adam says we should play poker.
"Strip poker?" Drew asks hopefully.
"NO!" Adam and Clare say together.
"Did you guys bring your suits we could go swimming?" Clare suggests.
"We did but Bashful won't go swimming." Bianca says scowling at Adam a little.
"I'm cool just chilling by the pool." Adam replies.
The rest of us change for the pool, Clare and I use our room while Bianca and Drew use the washroom and surprisingly come out after a few minutes. After a couple hours of swimming we go in to have lunch and then go back to the rec room to watch a movie. When the movie ends it's time for Drew and them to go home, they say goodbye and that they'll see us tomorrow.
"I should take a shower," Clare says when they're gone.
"Me too it'll be faster if we shower together," I suggest and she twists her mouth at me. "Fine you go shower first," I give in.
She smiles and takes my lips with hers, the soft kiss turns a little harder, deepens a little when she slips her tongue between my lips. Then she pulls away walking to the washroom and leaving me standing there wanting more. Deciding to distract myself I go down to our room to pick out clothes for tonight. I opt for a dark blue long sleeve dress shirt and black dress slacks with my suit jacket. Clare comes out of the washroom in a towel, her hair dripping wet and a shy smile on her face.
"I better go shower, I heard Mom and Dad get home a little while ago, Tris and Tori should be here soon." I tell her.
"Okay I'll get dressed and do my hair and makeup upstairs. Ooh wait I need my makeup," she says walking back to the washroom and I go with her.
She grabs her makeup and her hair stuff, kisses me quickly and walks out. I shower a lot quicker than Clare does and go to my room to get dressed. After I do my hair and everything I go out to the living room to wait for everyone else. Tris and Tori are already out there and ready. He's wearing his suit and she's wearing a bubblegum pink dress she probably wore to her last pageant. Dad comes down the stairs in one of his suits and mom comes down a few minutes later in a short sleeve black dress and black heels and now we're just waiting on Clare.
"Sorry is everybody waiting for me?" Clare's soft voice wafts down from the top of the stairs.
We all turn to look at her and the sight of her takes the breath from my lungs. She is the most beautiful vision I have ever seen and unbelievably she's mine! She's wearing a dark sort of metallic blue dress, the skirt comes to her mid thigh and the top fits her perfectly, showing off her curves and is sleeveless. She has matching heels and silver earrings that you can see peeking out from her hair which she straightened. In place of her cross necklace she has a silver chain with a diamond pendant on it that I know she borrowed from my mom. She's also of course wearing the bracelet to cover the light bruise on her wrist. Her makeup is light but beautiful and she looks absolutely amazing.
"Wow you look incredible!" I compliment meeting her at the bottom of the stairs and taking her into my arms for a loving kiss.
"Thank you handsome," she smiles.
"Son why don't you and Clare drive separately so you guys can go out after dinner if you want?" Dad suggests.
"Sure Dad," I nod taking Clare's hand as we all leave the house.
Clare and I get in my car and I follow my parent's car to the St. Drake. We park and walk in turning to go to the restaurant which is down the hallway past the ballrooms, when the double doors to one ballroom suddenly open, Drew, Bianca, Adam and a bunch of my other friends jump out.
"SURPRISE!" Everyone yells and Clare starts laughing.
"No way how long have you been planning this? I assume you did this?" I ask Clare.
"Well I had to be sure we celebrated your birthday right with some help from your parents and Bianca." She smiles at me.
She puts her arms around my neck and gives a soft kiss then takes my hand and pulls me into the ballroom. I greet Adam, Bianca and Drew on the way in, the whole ballroom has been decorated with balloons, streamers and pictures of me, Clare and my friends and family. Sherry, Cinder, Scott, Tommy, Johnny, Shelly, Chris, Cody, Marissa, Diana, Lily, Julian, Gwen and about half a dozen other kids from the ravine are here. There's a live band and a giant buffet with caterer's to carve ham and roast beef. My parents really went all out! After saying hi to everyone and having everybody wish me a happy birthday we get food and sit down to eat.
"I can't believe you all did this and managed to keep it secret from me." I exclaim when I'm sitting at a table with my family, Tori and of course Clare.
"It was Clare's idea, Happy Birthday Owen." Mom says.
"You know they had you drive separately because they got you and Clare a room here for the night." Tristan snickers.
"Tristan!" Dad scolds.
Before I can say anything Drew and Bianca join us at the table. After we eat Clare and I leave the table to mingle with our friends and then dance after a few fast songs the band plays a slow one. I put my hands on her waist and she puts her hands at the back of my neck. I really want to ask Clare about the room but I don't want to put any pressure on her, I don't expect anything from tonight.
"Are you having a good birthday?" Clare asks me.
"I'm having a wonderful birthday Sweetness, best birthday ever because I have you." I tell her crushing our lips together.
When the slow song is over the band plays the birthday song, everyone starts singing and a cake is brought out on wheeled tray. The cake is an exact replica of my car with little figures of Clare and me standing by the car kissing.
"No way! That is fucking awesome someone get a picture of it! I don't want eat it." I remark when I see the cake.
"Aww look at the little kissing Hubby Boyfriend and Hot Legs!" Bianca comments.
A bunch of people, including my parents and brother get pictures of the cake before I cut into it. I take the first piece and cut a piece for Clare then hand the knife to Adam and we go sit down.
"Hey aren't you two supposed to feed each other the first piece of cake?" Adam asks sitting down with us.
"That's wedding cake Adam," Clare replies.
"Well you almost had one of those," Adam shoots back.
I open my mouth to reply when suddenly two of Clare's fingers, covered in frosting, are suddenly in my mouth. My lips close around her fingers and she draws them out slowly as I lick the frosting off. Adam is kind of laughing and kind of shocked, I look at Clare, she just smiles at me wipes, her fingers on a napkin and goes back to eating her piece of cake.
"Are you two getting kinky over here without me?" Bianca taunts as she sits down.
"Are we playing the frosting game again?" Drew inquires as he joins us at the table.
"Frosting game?" Adam inquires.
"No," Clare shakes her head avoiding Adam's question.
He doesn't get to ask again as the Bashful Babes come to sit by Adam, my parents, Tris and Tori sit with us to eat cake.
"Okay we're going to get out of here and take Tris and Tori home, they're going to kick you out of the ballroom at midnight but you can party until then. No alcohol. Here's your room key, 804 is the room number. Happy Birthday Owen we're proud of you." Dad says hugging me when we're done eating cake.
I hug my family and Tori, they hug Clare too, say goodbye to everyone and then leave. The next four hours are nothing but dancing, eating, talking and partying. Everyone has a great time and when the hotel staff kicks us out at midnight everyone says goodbye and wishes me happy birthday again telling me they had fun. After Clare and I say goodbye to everyone we go up to our room, the room is big with a king sized bed, seating area, TV, walk in closet and large washroom with a big shower and a Jacuzzi tub and to my surprise a suitcase.
"I packed it while you were in the shower and your dad had it in his car, he brought it in and checked us in during the party. Can you take it into the washroom for me? This dress is pretty but not very comfortable." She tells me.
"But you do look amazingly gorgeous in it." I smile at her.
She smiles at me biting her lip softly; I walk over taking the suitcase from near the closet, taking it into the washroom and setting it on the counter. She slides her hand along my cheek to the back of my neck and pressing her lips to mine. Pulling away after a moment and pushing me out of the washroom so she can change. I go to the bed, tossing my jacket over a chair, taking off my shoes, laying down and flipping on the TV. It's a long time before the washroom door opens again but when it does I'm speechless, beyond speechless, breathless. Clare is leaning in the doorway wearing lingerie, I don't know what it's called and I don't care. It's red and black, silky, lacy, tight and laces up accentuating her curves and breasts. The sight in front of me is the consummate picture of sexy and beauty and I can't believe it's for me.
I want to run over to her, take her into my arms and kiss her hard but I can't seem to move and it's not just because the sight of her has made me hard and horny as hell. She bites her lip walking over to me slowly or maybe it just seems slow to me. She gets on the bed and crawls over to me, getting on top of me and begins to unbutton my shirt. I put my hands on her waist and finally release the breath I'd been holding. She smiles pulling out my shirt when she has it open all the way, bending down to kiss my stomach as she opens the clasp on my belt and pulls it from my belt loops.
"So my birthday present to you is me, I mean all of me I'm giving you my virginity." She informs me.
For the second time within a few minutes I'm breathless again. She giggles a little catching my lips for a passionately, loving and fevered kiss. When she pulls her lips away after a few seconds I get my breath back.
"Are you sure?" I ask her.
"I was ready to marry you last week if we had too and as glad as I am that my parents signed the guardianship papers I would still marry you tomorrow. I am in love with you Owen, head over heels kind of love so yes I'm sure that I want to give you my virginity tonight." She answers slipping off her abstinence ring and putting it on the nightstand.
The ability to move comes back to me and I flip her on the bed to her back in one swift movement. She squeals then giggles, putting her hands on the back of my neck and catches my lips. Her lips open, my tongue slides into her mouth and my hands squeeze her breasts which isn't easy to do with the lingerie she's wearing and then something occurs to me.
"Did you bring protection because I wasn't planning on…" she silences me with her finger on my lips.
"I'm on birth control, Bianca and I didn't go shoe shopping that day," she confesses.
I smile as she unbuttons and unzips my slacks; I stand up taking off the rest of my clothes. Getting back on the bed and straddling over her I pull at the laces on her corset thing to loosen it and open it. I want to say it's because I don't think she can be comfortable but it's really because I want access to her breasts and skin. Once I have it loose enough I take it off over her head, tossing it behind me and putting my lips on her breasts. Her breathing hitches as I assail her breasts, her back arching and pressing into me. I want to be gentle with her and go slow because I know it's going to be painful for her but I'm also eager, hey I'm a guy. I will do everything I can to make it as easy as I can for her.
Kissing in a line down her torso I feel her begin to tremble and her skin gets hot at the touch of my lips. I take her panties into my teeth pulling them down slowly and then tearing the off with my hands when I lose patience. She laughs at my haste but catches a breath in her throat when my tongue comes onto her clit gently flicking. Her back arches as a soft moan comes from her lips, I slide two fingers into her and she quivers with a shuddering breath. Picking up the pace with my fingers I feel her grip the bedspread underneath us, her moaning is in synch with my pumping fingers, it's like playing a musical instrument. Between my tongue and my fingers I get her going and after a while I can tell she's coming close and I pick up my pace until it's close to frenzied. Her moans get louder and more desperate then she tightens around me, her back arching as her hips buck.
"Nnnnggngngng OHHHHHH!" She calls out as she climaxes.
I pull my fingers out as soon as she's done and she collapses to the bed sweaty and breathless. I spread her legs a little more, getting into position and placing the head of my erection at her opening.
"It's going to hurt, if you tell me to stop I will and I won't be mad." I assure her.
She bites her lip and nods, gripping my shoulders and bracing for entry. As gently and slowly as I can manage I slide into her. First she moans and her head lulls back her eyes going half lidded as I go in farther and farther her moans begin to turn into pained whimpers and I look at her face. I can see tears beginning to pool at the corners of her eyes and I expect her to tell me to stop any minute but she doesn't just grips my shoulders a little tighter. Hoping to distract her from the pain she's feeling especially because I feel nothing but pleasure, I put my mouth on her nipple, sucking and licking, and a finger on her clit, rubbing gently.
Her cries begin to sound more pleasurable again and I enter her all the way. It's like heaven, she's so tight and warm and being inside of her is amazing. Taking a minute to revel in the feel of her all around me before I begin to pull out, when I'm out to the head I push in again. The sounds coming from her mouth continue to be a mix of pain and pleasure, more pain than pleasure still though. I continue to go slow and gentle; it seems like it takes forever for the pain to begin to dissipate for her but finally it does. Finally her cries begin to sound more blissful than agonizing, her grip on me loosens slightly and her eyes open just a little, I see her eyes rolled back in ecstasy and I pick up my pace a little.
Her breaths that just a moment ago were sharp and pained turn soft and rapturous. A few more minutes and her hips begin to buck meeting my rhythm her hands moving from my shoulders to my hips. She moans in a successive chain, my name mixed in amongst the moaning and the heavy breathing. Within a few minutes I'm going at an nearly fevered pace no longer able to hold back. Clare makes a shuddering deep moan that ends with a whimper of pain, her whole body tenses, her entire body trembles and then she calls out my name as she climaxes for the second time tonight. I thrust in one more time, my own body shaking in ecstasy I put one arm around her back and pull her close to me, gripping the bed spread with the other hand as I release into her.
"OHHHH Fuuuuuuck Clllllaaaaareeee!" I shout into the room as I orgasm.
Collapsing onto her, then rolling off her and pulling out of I make her emit one last whimper as I do. I kiss her sweat pearled breasts and take her into my arms as we continue shaking and panting for air, recovering slowly. She finds my hand and interlaces out fingers nuzzling into me a little.
"Happy Birthday Owen I love you." She says when she's able to breathe normally once more.
I roll to my side, propping myself on my elbow and taking her lips gently. "I know I love you too and this was the best birthday ever!"
She giggles as I lay on my back again; she puts her head on my chest and draping her arm across me. She kisses my chest gently, yawns softly and soon falls asleep. Stroking her hair a minute I yawn too and succumb to slumber after a few minutes.
