***Chapter 5***
I woke up about an hour later, and Paul was sleeping on his back, and my head was on his chest…I was tracing his muscles with my fingertips, when I got to his navel he was a little on the ticklish side, and he laughing a little and grabbed my hand…I looked up at him and smiled…he looked down and said, "At some point I think were going to have to leave this bed…and possibly this room…" I said, "Ah, you must be getting hungry…" He said, "Yea, considering I didn't have any breakfast, before I tore your ass up." I started laughing so hard…
Paul said, "Actually I have something for you…stay right here." I said, "Where am I gonna go like this?" I opened the sheet and he said, "You keep flashing your nakedness to me, and you won't be leaving for another 4 hours…" I giggled as he pulled on his black exercise pants with the pin stripes down the sides…Mmm…he keeps wearing those and I won't let him leave…let alone eat… I sat up and wrapped the sheet around my chest and body, then crossed my legs as to sit in Indian style, but never moved from the middle of the bed…
He came back and had pulled his hair back with a rubber band, and had something in his hand…He said, "I called a few weeks earlier and had this made so it would be ready when we got here with the tour…It was made special for you…" Paul sat on the floor on his knee's, leaning against the bed, and handed me a little blue velvet box…I looked at him quizzical and he said, "Just open it." I smiled and said, "Okay…" I slowly opened it and was taken back…it was a beautiful diamond ring cut in the shape of a heart with two side ruby stones also cut into hearts on a silver band (cause he knew I hated gold)…
He could see the questions floating around in my mind and he said, "It has you're birthstone being diamond (cause I was born in April), and my birthstone being Ruby (cause he was born in July)…when we got married, neither one of us were really prepared and I didn't have the time to have a real ring made, so we just stuck with the plain silver bands…So I had it made." I said, "Its so beautiful…thank you" Paul took my hand and pulled the silver band off my finger and slid the ring on my finger and then put the silver band back on…
I leaned over and said, "I love you." And we started kissing again, and I ended up pulling him back into bed…He said, "I love you too."…I was kissing his neck and along his jaw line when he said, "We're never leaving are we?" I said, "Not if I can help it." Paul ditched the pants and I ditched the sheet and we were at it again…this time it felt more special then ever, because it meant he was really making a commitment fully and taking responsibility with the love he had for me.
