Family Get Together

I hit the alarm before it went off, not wanting it to wake Tony. I now loved mornings. I would lay in Tony's arms in the peaceful quiet of the start of the day. The sun would come in and dance across his skin. Tangled in the sheets, I'd sometimes watch him sleep before the alarm went off. Other times since we had recently taken that step, I'd wake him to spend the morning making love. Before the hustle and bustle of a busy day that will take my energy and time it's nice to just lie here warm; next to him. The one who I want to wake up and see every morning. Since our first night together I've felt so connected to him, like he's a part of me and he is. The part of me that makes me appreciate and enjoy life and being in love. Without him life just wouldn't be the same. It's a good feeling being so loved and needed. I leaned over him, running my fingers through his messy hair. "Babe, it's time to get up."

He wrapped an arm around me and pulled me close. "Mm...five more minutes," he said sleepily without opening his eyes.

I ran my fingers across his chest and placed a feather light kiss on his lips. "You don't want us to be late do you?" I paused, deciding to tease him. "I'm awake and you're the one who kept us up half the night."
