Flack got in the apartment and sighed relieved. It was almost 3 am and his shift has been completely chaotic. They had been chasing a guy all over the city and when they finally caught him it turned out that he had nothing to do with the case. After no fresh leads they decided to leave it for the next day. He checked his watch again. 2:53am. It was already April 17th. One year. One year had passed since they had been in that accident. One year since he had been very near to lose what he most loved in this world. Jamie. Fortunately after a couple of days in hospital they had been able to be back home with some restrictions. Flack grinned at the memory of their doctor telling them that they had to stay 10 days without sex and how many cold showers he had needed. But, if he was honest with himself, he was quite grateful for the accident, because it helped them take the decision to live together. And he definitely didn't regret that. When he looked at the apartment he couldn't help but smile. It wasn't his apartment anymore. It was theirs. The furniture was more or less the same it had been since he had moved out of his parents home. But there were little changes that made the place look as theirs and not just his. The stripped blanket and the colorful pillows on the couch, the fridge door full of photos of the two of them, the new blue cups on the kitchen, and of course the spare room. What used to be a little office was now a bedroom with a little bed and a desk. All the walls painted blue.
He took off his coat and gun and left them on the couch. He walked to the bedroom unleashing his tie at the same time. He leaned on the doorframe and stared at her. Lying on her stomach. Her head on the foot of the bed and managing to take up all the mattress. A tactic she developed over the months to force him to wake her up every time he arrived late. He changed into and old t-shirt and shorts and climbed on the bed and kissed her cheek sweetly.
"Wake up sleeping beauty. You are lying occupying all the bed, again. This time even upside down." He added kissing her temple.
"Hey." She answered smiling sleepily. "What time is it?"
"It's 3 am." He said and she just nodded. "C'mon, Jamie, move so we can both lie down normally." He said nuzzling her neck.
"Mmmm…" She answered as she made room for him in the bed. "You know what day is it today?" She asked opening her eyes to finally look at him.
"Yeah. I was just thinking about that when I got home." He said lifting her shirt and kissing the little scar she had in her stomach from the surgery. He then continued kissing his way up to her body until he reached her mouth and kissed her deeply.
"Tough day?" She asked when they pulled apart, caressing his face trying to erase his worry lines.
"I'm just tired." He said smiling. "I was just remembering the last year and how happy I am you decided to move in with me." He answered caressing her hair.
"If you hadn't been such an amazing roomie for those first 2 weeks, maybe I would have gone back to my apartment, although I'm quite sure that we would have ended living together sooner than later." She said kissing his jaw line.
After a few seconds of silence, he spoke again. "I think we should start deciding a date for the wedding and sending the invitations. We should have this sorted before summer." He said cautiously.
"I've been thinking about the 17th or 18th of October." She answered snuggling closer to him.
"Exactly six months from today." He stated. "Sounds good to me. It gives us enough time to get everything ready." He answered pulling her even closer to him and kissing her hair.
"Yeah, I know." She answered kissing his chest.
"I love you." He said kissing her forehead.
"Thanks." She answered giggling.
"Thanks? That's all I get? I tell you that I love you and you just say thanks?" He answered pushing her away from him so he could look at her eyes.
"Yeah, thanks." She said again giggling one more time. " Thanks for taking care of me, for protecting me although I don't need it, for being great with my family and friends, for always staying with me, for being there when I needed you the most and for never letting me down. Thanks for loving me, Blue." She said smiling warmly at him. "And of course, and as you already know, I love you."
"Wow." He said. "Thanks." He answered grinning.
"I forgot one reason before. Thank you for helping and teaching me to love myself, to value myself, to make me feel loved and sexy. That's probably one of the most important and wonderful things someone could ever do for anyone." She said moving until she was lying on her side, her head resting in the same pillow as his.
He turned around to caress her cheek with his right hand and pulled himself closer to her so he was able to kiss her slow and deep.
"You don't need to thank me for that." He said kissing her nose.
"Yes, I do, Blue. You don't know how important is that to me, how important is what you did for me. Sometimes I feel like telling you that I love you doesn't even cover a quarter part of what I actually feel for you." She said blushing lightly.
"I… I… I don't know what to say. It only occurs to me some smartass answer and I don't want to spoil all you said. But you know that I feel the same, even if I don't know how to say it." He answered nervously.
She cuddled closer to him again and kissed his lips sweetly. "Sorry for that sappy rambling, Blue, but I needed to tell you. Let's go back to sleep." She said closing her eyes.
"Don't apologize for those sappy ramblings, as you call them. I love them. I would have 3 am pillow talks like this one every day of the rest of my life." He said caressing her back.
"It's good that we are gonna be together for the rest of our lives, then." She said smiling against his chest.
"It's just perfect." He answered kissing her forehead again.
