We couldn't stop talking after this. We didn't even stop looking at each other until we both started yawning. Then curiosity got the best of me and I had to look at the clock.
"What time is it?"
We really do think too much alike. You know what they say, great minds think alike. "It's...3 o'clock!? No wonder I'm getting tired."
"Yeah, me too. I guess I'd better be getting home..."
"You've car's not here, remember? I drove you. Besides, I wouldn't let you drive home this late anyway."
"Would you rather drive me?"
"Yes, actually, I would. But why don't you stay here tonight?"
"John..."
"We don't have to do anything. We can sleep in, eat breakfast, and go to work and tell everyone when you're shift starts."
"Ok, but I wasn't going to say anything about that. I was going to say Ok. But I don't have anything to wear to bed."
"Oh...well you can wear something of mine..."
"Ok."
"I'll be right back..." I hope she doesn't mind sharing a bed, of course not, we did it before. Let's see...what's the smallest thing in here...Ok, let's put it in the dryer... "Uh, Abby? I think we need to put it in the dryer."
"Well, the shirt's long...let me try it on."
"Ok."
"John, instead of getting me the smallest shirt you have, give me one of the biggest."
"Ok, be right back." I think I know what she doing. "I got it, here."
"Thanks."
She's really going to keep an overnight bag here...
"Ok, good?"
Yup, I figured she'd do that. "So I'm guessing the pants were too big."
"Yeah, they were. Plus the shirt's long enough to wear by itself anyway. Why do you have it? It wouldn't fit you even if you gained 100 pounds."
"I know, it was a gift."
"From?"
"I don't remember actually."
"Well, I guess they didn't know you too well...oh shoot!"
"Huh?"
"I don't have anything to wear tomorrow."
"I guess I'll drive you over in the morning after we eat."
"Ok, we can do that but I'll have to put my dress back on, I can't go out in this, even if it is halfway to my knees."
"Ok, and you really should keep an overnight bag here with some night clothes and stuff for the next day in case you have to go straight to work from here." I wonder if she's thinking about the same thing I've been thinking about...
"Yeah, and you should keep one at my place. We need to figure out what we're going to do I mean, our living arrangement. Because, we can't just live in two houses when we're married..."
"We really do think too much alike. Well, the way I see it is we have 3 choices, one, we move in here, two, we move in your place, or three, we move into another house."
"Well, I don't think we should move in my place, it's pretty small and your's is much nicer."
"Ok, then I guess that leaves the other two choices..."
"Well, you know what we could do, we could move in here for a while, then move into a bigger house later."
"I think that's a good plan. You want to do that?"
"Yeah, I guess."
"Ok...so when are you going to move in? Before or after we get married?"
"Before."
"About how soon?"
"Well, not for at least another month, I have to give notice and I already paid for this next month. Of all the times to pay in advance. Why didn't you tell me you were going to propose, then I wouldn't have paid and I would've already given my notice. It's Ok with you if I move in here in about a month, right? Not too short of notice?"
"No, I'd let you move in now if you could. I'll start helping you pack next time we're both off."
"No, I gave you a key, you can pack while I work. I work, you work."
"Ok. You know, this is the first time we actually talked about something to do with the wedding plans all night."
"Yeah, we're stayin up late talking like at a sleepover."
"Well, I wouldn't know about that. I mean, I didn't attend many of those."
"And now you really have to have an overnight bag, you'll be spending the night a lot so we can pack before we sleep and pack when we wake up. There's a lot of stuff in there, we got to have a yard sale or give some stuff away."
"Ok, after we pack and figure out how much of your stuff can fit in here, we'll decide what you need and want to keep. We'll fit as much as we can in here and the rest can go in storage until we get a bigger house. And after all that, we can sell everything and give the rest away."
"So that's the plan. We start tomorrow."
"Ok, but now we'd better sleep because it's almost 4. Go ahead to bed and I'll be there in a minute."
"Ok."
I had a feeling this going to be one of the best nights of sleep, actual sleep, that I've ever had..."Ok, you ready for bed?
"Yup. I'm tired. It's been an exciting night. A lot can happen in 24 hours."
"I know...come here." God, she feels so right in my arms, tucked safely in bed next to me, my arms like a shield of warmth preventing any danger from coming her way...
"I love you John, good night."
"I love you too Abby. Good night and sweet dreams."
"Always if they're of you."
I had to smile at that. It looks like I'm starting to rub off on her. But when you're in love, you can't help it, all these things come to your mind and you just have to say them. Love's a wonderful thing. And now Abby's breathing is even, signaling that she is asleep. I guess she's worn out. It's been an amazing few days. But unlike Abby, I will probably be awake for awhile, left with my thoughts and sweet, beautiful Abby in my arms. I want to savor this moment. I never want to let her go. I just want to stay like this forever...
I woke up to something I hadn't waken up to in a VERY long time, a running shower. I don't even remember falling asleep, all I remember is laying with Abby in my arms and how wonderful it was. That was the second time I've slept with her in my arms. There is no better feeling. She must have decided to borrow the shower...
"Hey, sleepy head."
Well, this is new. Never seen her in a towel before. I guess I was so lost in thought that I didn't hear the shower go off. But the sight of her in a towel got my attention. "What time is it?"
"It's 11:30, I got up around 11. I called Maggie and told her we'd be over soon and I decided to borrow your shower. Hope that's Ok."
"Of course, my shower is your shower."
"Do you need a shower?" I can make breakfast..."
"No, I'll get a shower and make you breakfast. Then we'll go to your place and get your clothes."
"Or you can get a shower and make breakfast while I take your car, run to my place, get changed and come back."
"Ok, that's better. Let's go with that."
"Why don't you pack an overnight bag and I'll take it over now. I'll bring my bag back here with me."
"Ok, let me get it..." Ok, night clothes, check. Day clothes, check. "Here you go."
"Ok, I'll be back before you know it."
"And I'll have breakfast ready."
"Ok, looking forward to it. Bye."
"Bye." Now I need to get a shower. I hope there's some hot water left. Yup, there is. Thanks Abby...
"What time is it?"
We really do think too much alike. You know what they say, great minds think alike. "It's...3 o'clock!? No wonder I'm getting tired."
"Yeah, me too. I guess I'd better be getting home..."
