It was nearing midnight when Alex woke up. She stretched against Bobby, and he shifted closer to her. She smiled in the darkness, the faint glow of the street lamp showing her his profile. She kissed his mouth softly, and soon enough he was kissing her back.
He brushed her hair out of her face and smiled at her, still sleepy. She closed her eyes and rested her head on his shoulder.
"I don't suppose you got us out of work tomorrow, too."
"Sunday is a day of rest, Alex."
"Thank God."
"Mmhmm."
"Are you hungry?"
She suddenly realized that they had not eaten all day.
"I could be persuaded." He mumbled as he rolled so that he was leaning over her, kissing her neck. Her hands moved along his muscled shoulders and she sighed happily.
"I am so happy right now," She whispered.
"Me too." His voice was a soft rumble, vibrating against her.
She raised her arms so that they were wrapped around his shoulders. He held her tightly, but gently.
"Don't let go." He said, quietly.
"I won't."
Her face was a different sort of beautiful up close. It was softer, her lips sweeter. He smiled in the dark, and let his forehead rest on the pillow next to her head. Her eyes were opened just the tiniest bit, and as they closed again, she smiled too.
