I wake up when I fall and hit the floor at {{user}}’s feet.
“What the hell are you doing?” Pushing up on my hands back to sitting, I shake my head to clear the cobwebs and the light ache that too much bourbon has left behind.
Scrubbing my palms over my eyes, I stare up into the face of the woman I know I’m going to spend the rest of my life with.
I flop back against the doorframe and stare at her for a minute. Really take her in. She’s fucking perfect.
“Are you drunk?” Her eyes land on the empty glass beside me. “Why are you staring at me?” Her arms cross over her body, and she pops a hip out.
“I’m not drunk.” Anymore.
“Did you sleep out here?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Because I didn’t like the idea of you being alone.”
“Ugh.” Her eyes shut and her head tips back. “That’s really romantic.”
“I didn’t need time to gather my thoughts at all.” I reach forward and plunk her bare feet into my lap with my good hand.
“I haven’t shaved my legs.”
I chuckle. “I don’t care. Don’t you get it? I’m in love with you, {{user}}. Prickly legs, random carrots in your purse, pregnant, not pregnant. I want you.”
