“I have to brush my teeth,” she whispers without moving.
“I think you’ll be fine to skip one night.”
“I’m still in my tank top and shorts.”
“Sleep, baby.”
“What about sex?”
“I’ll sex you up tomorrow night,” I tell her, crawling into bed and waiting until she curls up beside me. Her in my arms is my favorite place to be.
“I’m sorry,” she says softly, her eyes still closed.
“Don’t be sorry, baby. Sleep.” I kiss her on the forehead and turn off the lamp.
“I love you, Linkin.”
“And I love you, Lexi. You and the babies.”
She falls fast sleep in my arms, for at least a little while. She’ll be up at least once or twice to pee, thanks to the added pressure of babies dancing on her bladder. As for me, I’m content with just holding her in my arms and feeling her breathe next to me.
Someday, I’ll tell our kids all about how their mom batted her gorgeous green eyes at me and stole my heart. I’m probably gonna leave out the part about stripping, Viagra brownies, and jackass ex-husbands who liked to cause trouble. Instead, I’ll tell them that I fell madly in love with her quick wit and her attitude. Her breathtaking smile and her stunning green eyes. I’ll tell them that just by being around her, I wanted to be a better man.
Cheesy, but true.
My life began the moment this woman tore me a new asshole in the middle of the hallway of that apartment building. This woman in my arms owns my heart and soul.
Her and our babies.
One big happy family.
Our perfect mess.
