Chapter 26

Sunray's peak into Kirsten's room. Kirsten was up, and stared at the man sleeping next to her. He was completely wonderful last night. She wasn't ready to have sex yet, and he totally understood and respected that. So he just held her in his arms as they talked about everything that's happened in the course of knowing each other. The thought of just being with him, brings a smile to her face.

"What are you smiling at?"

"You…is that a crime?" Kirsten looked at him.

"Nah…admire away."

"Oh…I am. Thanks for being so understand about last night"

Matt sat up a little, looked directly into Kirsten's eyes, "I meant what I said last night K. I'd wait forever for you."

Kirsten hugged Matt tightly, "What did I do to deserve you?"

"I think I should be asking that. I mean, I put you through hell."

Kirsten sat up and playfully punches his shoulder, "damn straight you did."

Matt sits up too "I know I know, remember when you told me you loved me?"

"If I remember correctly, I called you a stupid ass afterwards."

Matt laughed, "Yes you did, anyway, when you told me you loved me, it broke down that barrier I had up. I knew then and there I wanted to love you forever."

Kirsten started to cry. "Stop being so sweet damnit! I don't like crying like this."

"Let's go back to sleep."

Kirsten lies down and Matt spoons up behind her. The last thing Kirsten thought before she fell asleep was "dreams do come true."
