Curt

She looks like an angel in her sleep with her shiny brown hair spread across my pillow. Her lips are slightly parted, plump and sumptuous, inviting me to delve into the delicious warmth of her mouth. I reach out to tuck a stray strand of her hair away from her face, a smile tugging at my lips as the memories of the previous night flood my head.

It was special in ways that I can't explain even to myself. Like every night for the past three days.

After the first time, we sort of fell into a routine where we go about our business during the day and fall into each other's arms at night. Now, every day I ache for the moment I can come back home so I can see London’s beautiful smile and kiss her perfect lips. I look forward to making love to her and holding her in my arms after. I look forward watching her listen to me speak about work with that adorable frown of concentration on her face. I look forward to making stupid jokes just to hear the tinkling sound of her laughter.

I'm used to finding the rationale behind every occurrence, but what we’ve shared in the past few days is beyond me.

I've never felt this way about anyone… not ever.

It's only been a few nights, but I can't seem to remember a time before I used to wake up to her by my side, in my bed, surrounded by the scent of her.

With London, I find myself liking the things I used to detest: sleeping beside another person, eating meals together, even buying flowers for no reason. It’s dawned on me that this wasn't meant to be a one-time thing like I had with other women I've been with in the past.

Because I no longer feel the harrowing emptiness that's haunted my soul for the longest time. Instead, I feel complete in the knowledge that I want her… All of her. I want to protect her and that beautiful laugh, the innate pureness that defines her person.

I never thought I'd feel this way. Never thought myself capable – no, deserving – of this feeling of completeness, this unfathomable happiness that comes with caring for someone else.

But now that I've found it, I'm never letting go.

I lean forward to kiss her lips, unable to resist the urge anymore. She stirs in her sleep and opens her eyes, her lips curving into a sweet smile.

“Good morning,” she murmurs, her voice husky from sleep.

“Good morning, beautiful,” I reply, mesmerized by the warmth in her alluring brown eyes. “Sleep well?”

She nods, a crimson blush staining her lips. “I did. You look like you've been up for a while.”

“Yes, I…” I pause as a pungent odor reaches my nostrils.

“Something is smelling burnt,” London says, confirming my suspicion.

"Oh, damn!" I mutter, jumping up from my perch on the bed. "I think I burned the hash browns. I'll go check," I say before hurrying out of the door.
