“Aww,” Keanna says. She traces the outline of my abs with her finger. “Your mom is the best.”
“She’s alright,” I say sarcastically, which earns me a slap from my girlfriend.
“Your mom is awesome and you know it,” she says.
“Yeah, yeah.” I’m already regretting changing the subject. “She loves you.”
“And I love her,” she says. Her breath is warm on my chest as she cuddles closer to me. I wrap my arm around her back and slide my fingers up and down her side, just enjoying the moment before time will surely slip in and take me away from her for another weekend.
My eyes start to flutter closed as my breathing slows and our combined warmth makes me sleepy. Keanna’s breath slows too, and she’s cuddled so close to me I don’t ever want to let her go. I struggle to stay awake because I know she needs to go back home so she’ll wake up early for her family. But it’s hard. I just want her to stay.
“Jett?” she says, her voice soft. I don’t know how much time has passed or if I accidently fell asleep.
“Hmm?” I manage to say.
She snakes her arm around my stomach and cuddles tighter. “I love you.”
I chuckle. “I love you, baby girl.”
