Such Is Life

Part 35

He made it up with his Mom and we went out to the cinema and saw some cheesy movie. When we got back I was beat and thanked them for the evening and headed to bed. I just crawled between the covers when I heard Chris comming into the room.

"You asleep?" he whispered.

"Nope!"

He sat on the edge of the bed I could just make out his outline in the dark of the room as he touched my arm, "I'll sleep on the floor."

"Is that what you want?" I grabbed his arm as he stood up and he stopped, "No that's not what I want I thought maybe it was what you wanted?"

"It's not."I said quietly.

"Sure?I mean I dont mind if.."

"Im sure." I whispered. I lay there and watched him getting undressed in the darkness, then he crawled in beside me and wrapped his arms around me.

"You think we're gonna be ok?" He said into my ear as we lay together.

"I dont know Chris." I sighed, "I hope so, I mean I really hope so." I traced my finger along his arm and he kissed the back of my head.

"Me too. I missed you!"

I smiled to myself, God I never thought this day would come when we would be in the same bed again! "Chris?"

"Hmm?"

"I love you." He rolled me over onto my back and looked at me.

"Truely?"

"Yes!" I laughed.

"Honestly?"

"Yes!"

"Good because mom wants us to renew our wedding vows!"

"What?" I sat up underneath him.

"I know I know but she missed out on the first time and..." He sighed, "Its ok we dont have to."

"It's too soon to even talk about that Chris, I mean maybe sometime but....not now ok?"

"Ok, suits me!" He smiled and kissed me. "She means well ya know?"

"I know she does!" I laughed, "She's sweet."

"Not as sweet as you!" he touched my cheek and I felt his lips on mine, his tongue exploring my mouth as he lay on top of me.

The next couple of days were speant with his folks and it was nice! I had fun, we did 'family' stuff, things that I had never done before with my own family because my mother was too screwed up! When it came time to leave I was kind of sad! I felt sorry for Chris' mom she was crying and kept hugging him all the time telling him she was going to miss him and that we had to come back soon! I wished my mother could have done that even once in my lifetime! We got to the airport and said goodbye to his dad.

"So now where?" I asked as we dragged our bags across to the terminal.

"Well..." He pointed up at the screen above our gate.

"FLORIDA?"

"We're going home!" he smiled and put his arm around my shoulders, "Unless you can think of some where else to go?"

"Home sounds great to me!" I smiled as he squeezed me.

"Home it is then!" He kissed the top of my head and we went to get on the plane.
