Eliza stirred awake, morning light spilling over the entire room. The woman let out a yawn and spun around to see her husband's sleeping face. He looked so...peaceful when he was asleep. He looked like he didn't want to fight everyone, anywhere, anytime. He looked like he wasn't overworked and stressed. He looked blissful. Only a few moments later his eyes fluttered open staring directly back at his wife's hickory brown eyes.
The corners of his lips tugged into a smile as he saw her, "Hello Betsy."
She didn't reply, Eliza just looked at him, the only noise to be heard was the singing of the robins outside. Finally, after the small period of silence between the couple, Eliza breathed out, "I love you."
Alex smirked a mischevious glint flickered in his eyes which Eliza had been lost in, "I love me too."
Eliza's daydreamy look disappeared once the word hit her ears.
"Nevermind," She drawled, "I take it back."
Alex looked agape and bemused. He raised his hand to clutch the right side of his chest in a fake offense. Eliza smiled at her husband's antics. She treasured all their little moments together. You never know when you can't have any more moments.
"Nooooo" Alex whined, "Please love me?"
Eliza giggled, "Only if you love me back.'
"How could I not?" Alex scoffed, "You're irresistible."
Eliza's shown a little smile, "I wish you weren't irresistible."
Alex frowned at the comment, "Why?"
"Because then I could have you to myself, without women on the street gawking at you," Eliza answered.
Alex sighed, "unfortunately, I am irresistible, it's truly a curse...but you can have me all to yourself, just cause they look at me doesn't mean they have me."
"I'm so lucky to have a man so modest," Eliza cuddled up to him.
"I'm so lucky to have a girl so incredible," Alex kissed her cheek, a warm smile was on his face. Eliza had the same look on her face. The couple lay tangled up in each other happily for the rest of the morning.
