You give the counter one final scrub before glancing around. Nat King Cole is softly crooning from where I had put his CD on earlier. You smile softly and lean against the corner. The couch is crammed into the corner and the table is pushed up against the opposite wall, yet there is still barely 5 feet between the two. The room is tiny and cramped, just like the rest of the apartment, but its ours. Pine boughs are draped on the wall in the shape of a tree since we don't hhave room for a real one. I have artfully pinned red and green lights around the branches and the lights flicker softly.
You open the closet door and toss the dirty cloth into the washing machine beore turning off the lights. You walk down the hall, turning off the bathroom light and rolling your eyes, amused at how much I need light. I always insist that its because I like to see, but you know that its because I am secretly scared of the dark when you aren't with me. My studio door is ajar and both lamps and the overhead light are on. You step in and grimace. Canvases, pastels, brushes, cups, paints, and pallettes litter the floor. You turn off both lamps before flipping the overhead light off and stepping out.
You smile and walk to our bedroom, opening the door with your foot. A handful of red candles are flickering on the dresser and the mirror above reflects my face. I have one arm draped above my head and my hair is fanned out across the pillows. My eyelashes rest on my cheeks, casting half moon shadows on my face in the flickering light. You pause and look at me pensively. I shift and murmur your name, clutching a pillow to me tightly. The blankets slip off me as I shift and the swell of one creamy breast becomes noticeable. You close your eyes and groan softly before slipping off your clothes. You slide into bed beside me, tugging the pillow out of my grasp.
I protest softly in my sleep and you pull me to you, covering my mouth with your own. I melt in your arms, my soft, warm skin brushing yours. My eyes sleepily drift open and I gaze up at you.
"Hi."
You smile and press a kiss to my temple before pulling me tighter against your chest. "Time to go to sleep, babe. Its late."
I nod sleepily and yawn. "I love you, Max."
You brush my hair out of my face and I snuggle against you. "I love you too, princess." I yawn again and my eyes close as my head rests on your chest and my fingers weave through yours. You stroke my hair as you feel me fall asleep, staring off in the distance. Sleep soon overtakes you and you give in.
