In the still of my heart
There's a fire
That burns my soul's desire
Touching me, like the sun
Here and now I give my love, so faithfully
That I will always be the one
"Molly, I love you."
A warm feeling rose from Molly's stomach, nestling deep in her heart. She glanced up lovingly at her boyfriend, cupping his face in her hands. Grinning widely, she moved her hands, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"I know you do, Christian," she whispered softly in his ear. "I love you, too."
A warm smile played on Christian's lips, and he dipped his head down, pressing a gentle kiss to her lips. He gazed adoringly at her, chuckling quietly to hisemfl as he noticed her pajamas, which were a pale shade of pink and were embroidered with tons of little pigs. There was something about her bubbly personality and style that was just so... childlike. Her innocence brought out a side of him he'd never experienced before. He loved her with all his heard, and if you asked him, they were soulmates. He was ready to spend the rest of his life with her.
"It's getting late, baby," Molly spoke after a long silence.
Christian moved so that he was lying by her side. Wrapping his arms around her waist, he sighed, burying his face against her collarbone. It was late, and this was usually around the time he got up and headed back to his hotel room. He never liked leaving her, but the desire to stay with her through the night was particularly srtong this evening. Even more so than usual, Christian wanted to spend the night with her. In all the months they'd been together, it was yet to happy. He wanted it not only for the obvious physical reasons... he loved her, and he longed with all his heart to show her just how much.
"I don't want to leave you tonight, Mol," he said, tucking his forefingers under her chin and tilting her head in his direction.
Their eyes locked together, and for awhile, they simply stared at each other. Gazing deeply into his light blue orbs, Molly could see that Christian's heart was in his eyes. In that instant, she felt something in her heart, and she smiled. Whatever the feeling was, it made everything seem right. The timidness she normally felt in situations like this one slowly faded away.
"I don't think I want you to go, either."
I wanna stay with you tonight
I don't wanna leave
Cause I feel the time is right
Don't want go before I say
What I have to say
Don't ask me to walk away
I wanna stay the night
Wanna stay the night
Though several minutes had passed since Molly told him to stay, Christian felt as though time was standing still. He found himself on top of her again, kissing her slowly, passionately. He couldn't recall the two of them removing their clothes... they seemed to have melted away.
As he held her tiny form in his arms, Christian smiled. He couldn't remember a time in his life when he had felt so alive. It wasn't her first time, and it certainly wasn't his, but there was something about the moment that had them both feeling so young, so eager to learn and explore each other's bodies. Silver moonlight shone over their skin as Christian wrapped himself around her and, for the first time in their relationship, slowly began to make love to her. Though she was kissing him fervently, Christian took note of how badly she was shaking, and he pulled his head back, glancing at her with concern.
"Are you okay?" he asked hopefully.
Molly nodded, offering him a small, but genuine, smile. She wanted him to know she was trembling from anticipation and excitement, nothing else. In fact, she couldn't have asked for a better encounter.
"I'm fine, baby," she assured him with a kiss. "Maybe even better."
Holdin' you, close to me
The first time
That your body moved with mine
Let the moon ease your fears
Caressing as I whisper in your ear
That I will always be the one
I wanna stay with you tonight
I don't wanna leave
Cause I feel the time is right
Don't want go before I say
What I have to say
Don't ask me to walk away
I wanna stay the night
Wanna stay the night
If he had any doubts or insecurities before hand, they had long since drifted away. Everything about the night had been so perfect. He glanced down, his eyes meeting the top of Molly's dark brown hair. He removed his hand from where it was resting on the small of her back, moving it to her head and running his fingers through the soft locks. He wasn't sure what felt better - being with Molly, or holding her in his arms afterwards. The only thing that could possibly make him happier would be to see a satisfied look on his girlfriend's face.
As if on cue, Molly lifted her head from his chest, where she had been listening to the steady beating of his heart. Christian sent her a look bordering expectant, and she smiled.
"I love you," she mouthed, her voice so hushed that, even in the silent room, he could barely hear her.
But he did hear her, and those three words meant more now than they ever had before. He buried his head in her neck, kissing her there as she smiled uncontrollably.
"I love you more," he replied, moving away for a second, only to pull her to him tightly.
He held her close, resting his chin on top of her head. Soon enough, sleep came over them, and for the first time, they didn't fight it. Molly hugged him tightly, her grip not letting up even after the two of them drifted into a slumber. Even after he fell asleep, the smile still remained on Christian's face. His love for Molly had only solidified after the magic happening between them tonight, and by the looks of things, he'd been spending much more than the night with her.
Now is the time
I've been waiting for so long
Just give me a sign
Cause it's here where I belong
I wanna stay with you tonight
I don't wanna leave
Cause I feel the time is right
Don't want go before I say
What I have to say
Don't ask me to walk away
I wanna stay the night
Wanna stay the night
