Chapter 4
We lay there after a while, my head resting on his bare chest, his arms wrapped sturdily around me. This is the happiest I've been in a long time. Longer than I can remember actually. I shift my body slightly so that I'm facing away from him now with the left side of my head against the pillow. My right arm was falling asleep, it was getting quite uncomfortable. He grumbles
"No... back" In his sleep, and I can't help it but smile. He reaches his arms out, and they clasp back around me and he pulls me back closer to him.
"Fine" I mutter grudgingly under my breath. I shift my body out from his semi - cloying grasp, and move myself back onto his chest, the position I was in previously.
"Mm... much better." He mumbles sleepily. I smack him lightly on the arm, laughing softly.
"Hey now." He mumbles again. I just laugh lightly again, which causes a deep rumble to start in his chest.
"What are you laughing at?" He asks me teasingly, gripping my even tighter.
"Oh, nothing." I say coyly, a smile on my face. I give a yawn, feeling my eyelids start to droop.
"That's not nothing." He says to me, again. He too yawns.
"I don't really know to be honest." I say truthfully. "It's just..."
"It's just... what?" He asks me with fervor.
"I was just thinking of how incredibly amazing this day was. And then to spend it with you..." I feel the red heat rise to my cheeks, glad that it's dark enough that he won't be able to see my blush. "I'm just so happy that I've finally become your wife. I hope I'm everything you deserve."
"Oh, love." He says with passion. "I love you with every fibre of my being. And while I may never deserve you, I will always love you, no matter what."
"You don't deserve me?" I ask with incredulity. "I'm the one who doesn't deserve you." I say with sorrow creeping into my voice. I start to say another sentence, but he cuts me off with a kiss to my lips. It's so sudden and unexpected that I completely forget my argument.
"Now, what was it you were saying?" He asks, mocking in his voice. He knows what he's doing. Trying to distract me.
"I was saying that I don't deserve you." I say finally.
"Well I don't deserve you either." He says. I start to say something more, but he presses a finger to my lips.
"So, since we both agree on that we both don't deserve each other" He starts. "How about we agree to accept that were stuck with each other, and just love each other?" He asks teasingly.
"Oh all right." I agree happily. I really was worried there for a moment, but this is an easy compromise that I am more than willing to make.
"So, is that all?" He asks, a teasing tone creeping back into his voice, obviously pleased with himself on quickly he ended that little argument.
"Pretty much." I answer back, just as teasingly. "Oh, and I love you." I say nonchalantly.
"I love you too." He replies. "Never forget that.
"I won't." I reply sleepily back, feeling my eyelids droop more and more.
"Good." He says. "Goodnight my darling. I love you."
And with that, i drift back off into a sea of unconsciousness.
