I put an arm around her shoulders, caressing her flesh and drawing patterns on her skin. “More than anything. You’re… always what I need.”
“Good.” She ran a hand over my stomach. “Have I told you that I love you, yet?”
I grinned. “Only during sex.”
She pouted at me. “Well, that’s better than you. You’ve never said it at all.”
I looked at her in some surprise. “Haven’t I? That’s an oversight. I guess I figured you knew.”
“I hoped.”
“Well, stop hoping and start knowing.”
She smiled, settling even more comfortably on my shoulder. “Dr. Kelly was telling me about the progress I’ve made in the last six months. It sounded so unreal coming out of her mouth but when I think about it, I realize that it’s true. Ihavemade progress, and a lot of that is down to having you in my life. So, thank you.”
I turned to stare at her incredulously. “Me? What haveIdone? I’m barely here, I’m always working… worst boyfriend ever.”
She giggled. “Yeah. Well, what you see as your worst performance, for me is the best I ever had.”
“That’s just sad.”
“Yeah, I suppose it is.”
I looked into her eyes. “I’ll try to do better in the future.”
“I’ll try to expect more from you.” She grinned cheekily.
“You should. By now you should be demanding I make you mine for good.”
She laughed. “Really?”
“Yeah. Anyone else would.”
She frowned. “Is this your roundabout way of asking me to marry you?”
“Would you say yes if I did?”
“Ask and I’ll think about it,” she said.
I huffed in frustration. “So stubborn. You’resostubborn.”
She wiggled her eyebrows playfully and giggled before she settled onto my shoulder again.
We lay in silence for a while.
“Well?” she said. “Aren’t you gonna ask?”
“Not now. You’re already totally expecting me to.”
She smirked. “And we can’t have that?”
“No, we cannot.”
“Well, alright then. I’m gonna crash. You’ve wore me out, Levin.”
“I aim to please.”
“Goodnight.” She kissed my cheek.
