I'm not quite how we got there, but when I wake up, Adam and I are laying in our bed. I reach for the bedside clock and see that it's 6:32 pm. I pull myself up into a sitting position and yawn. I look over at Adam to see that he's still asleep.

I stand up and walk into the bathroom to take a shower. It's such a rare occurrence to take a shower on my own. It's probably been at least 3 or so weeks since I had one to myself. Not that I'm complaining, shower sex is great, but showers on my own are very much enjoyed.

I step out of the shower 25 minutes later, to find Adam in a bathrobe, watching me. "Psycho much?" I ask pulling my towel tighter. "Nah, not so much." Adam replies. "You want in?" I ask. He looks at me suspiciously. "You know, take a shower?" Adam is still looking at me funny. "What?" I ask, walking towards the walk-in closet. "I don't know." Adam says. I hear running water coming out of the facet a moment later, and then it transfers up to the showerhead.

I pull on a red fleece pullover and floral lounge pants. I walk back to the bathroom sink and I start to squeegee my hair.

"What do you feel like doing for the rest of the night?" Adam asks, from the shower. I think for a moment. "Movie and Magleno's pizza?" I suggest. "Sure, that sounds good. What movie?" Adam asks. "50 first dates?" I suggest again. Adam pokes his head around the shower curtain, water running down his face. "Cha, sounds good." I smile, because he looks so ridiculous. I shake my head and lean forward to kiss him. He kisses me back and I pull back so that the rug doesn't get any wetter then it already is. Adam looks down at the rug and laughs.

"I'll see you later." I say and I walk out to the bedroom. I put on the slippers that are under my nightstand.

I walk out to the living room, take 50 first dates off of the DVD rack and walk to the fridge. I take out the wine bottle and pour myself a glass. Walking back to the couch, I take a sip.

Adam walks out to the living room 15 minutes later. He leans down and kisses my neck, and then sits down beside me on the couch. His plaid lounge pants keep running against my legs and I change the position that I'm sitting in. I bring my legs up onto the couch and curl up beside Adam. He leans his head against mine for a moment, and then he lean down and give me a kiss. I kiss him back and Adam reaches for my hand and inter-twines our fingers. I lean in and kiss him again and Adam pulls away a moment later and rubs his lips together, savoring the taste of me.

"So, what kind of pizza?" Adam asks, as he moves slightly and stands up. "Hmm, I dunno. I sort of feel like something spicy." I reply. "Like pepperoni spicy or more?" Adam asks a moment later, as he returns to the couch with my re-filled wine glass and his own wine glass. I drop a quick thank you kiss on his lips before I reply "Yeah, but maybe even spicier." Adam shrugs an okay. "How about the special? Pepperoni, Italian sausage, olives, ham, green peppers and onions." I suggest. Adam thinks for a minute, before turning to look at me again. "Sure." he replies.

Adam reaches for the phone book that's under the table beside the couch, and then reaches for the phone and dials the number. The line connects a minute later and I hear Adam ask for the specials like he always does, even when we know what we want. I shake my head, take a sip of my wine, and then turn to look at my husband, smiling.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's a knock on our door an hour later and Adam rises from the couch and walks over and opens it. The delivery person hands Adam the pizza box, and then Adam hands the delivery person his money.

Adam closes the door a moment later and turns to face me. I pull the coffee table closer to the couch and he sets the box down. A moment later we sit down and Adam turns to look at me, the DVD remote in his hand.

"Ready?" he asks and I nod. Adam taking that as an answer, press the play button and the previews start. Adam clicks to the main menu and selects "play movie".

About 20 minutes into the movie, the food has been eaten and we've curled up on the couch. Adam's arm is around my shoulder and he pulls me closer towards him. Without a second thought, I move closer towards him. I can feel his hand softly stroking my upper arm and feeling very comforted by this, I lay my head on his shoulder.

We watch the rest of the movie in silence, at least between the two of us. Otherwise we're both laughing so hard!

"That movie's hilarious every time." Adam says, turning off the DVD player. "Yeah, especially in that scene where Adam Sandler's on his boat." I reply, chuckling. Adam laughs, remembering it. "Wouldn't it be nice if we were older and we wouldn't have to wait so long? You know it's going to make it that much better. We could say good night and stay together. Why? Why would you do this to me you sick bastard!" he sings, laughing so much that I can barely understand what he's saying. We're both laughing so hard again. "And then he realize what the CD means and he goes and sees Drew Barrymore and they kiss." I add. "Uh huh. Luckily, Drew Barrymore is sort of hot." he says. I raise my eyebrows and look at him. "What?" he asks and I just roll my eyes.

"What time is it?" I ask, with a yawn. Adam clicks the info button on the TV remote and replies "10:49."

I start to stand up and Adam grabs onto my shirt so I can't stand up. "Where you going?" he asks, pulling me back down into his lap. "I'm going to bed." I reply, with a giggle. "On your own?" I look up to see Adam looking at me, a slight look of lust in his eyes. "Yeah, on my own. You had sex once today, you ain't gettin' no more tonight!" I reply, my giggles continuing. Adam looks at me and gives me his "puppy eyes" and I roll my eyes at him. I drop a quick kiss on his mouth, and then try to stand up. Adam once again, stops me.

"What?" I whine as Adam pulls me back into his lap again. "You're not going anywhere Mrs. Rove." he says, grinning as he leans into kiss me. I try to pull away, but Adam won't let me. I giggle into his mouth as I kiss him. Adam kisses me back and he lets me go as he gets in one final kiss. I give him one last peck, and then I rise from the couch and walk into the bedroom.

Adam joins me 10 minutes later and we get into bed. The lights are turned off and I snuggle next to Adam. He wraps his arms around my waist and I sigh. He asks what and I reply "Long day. I'm so happy to be home at last." I can tell that there's a smile on Adam's lips and he reaches down and sniffs at my pillow. "These sheets smell right." he says as he moves back to his own pillow. "Really?" I say as I prop myself up on one elbow. "Really." Adam says and I can tell that he's smiling.

I snuggle up closer to him and I reach for his lips and kiss him. Adam kisses me back and he tightens his grip on my waist. My eyelids feel heavy and I close them for a moment and I am close enough to Adam that when he exhales, his breath flutters my hair. I open my eyes for a moment and I smile when I see that he's fallen asleep. I close them again and I start to lose reality...
