I flop down next to him on the bed. His arm immediately raises so I can snuggle into his chest. I haven't been able to do this for six months. Gosh I missed him. I remember the times I used to cry because he wasn't with me. Now I can't help but smile when I look at him.
Long distance relationships are hard. But we got through it by writing letters while he was at basic and skyping when he went to technical college. Oh those Skype chats. They were something to look forward to. But now I have the real thing with me and I couldn't be happier.
I squeeze his torso a little bit just to feel his solidness. He got buffer in Basic. Not enough to change his body type, just enough to show off all his muscles. I suppose I changed a little bit too. I started working out with my sister when I got to college. I know my stomach is a lot flatter now and when he squeezed my butt he said it was firmer than it was before. It also doesn't hurt that my clothing style changed now that I don't have to follow high school dress code. Right now I'm wearing a blue crop top and high waisted black skirt. My shoes, though they are lying across the room are these adorable brown boots I got on sale. The cashier gave me a fifty percent discount, he was probably hoping for a date as I had neglected to mention I was in a relationship at the time. Whoops!
My boyfriend's shirt lies next to the boots. My eagerness to take it off prevented it from straying five feet from the door. My panties seem to have had the same dilemma. I kiss his chest and he heaves a contented sigh. He reaches up to stroke my hair. I love this feeling; the feeling of complete belonging. I am his.
"I missed you, you know," he tells me after a while.
"I missed you too," I reply. "You have no idea how much I cried while you were gone."
He kisses the top of my head and holds me tighter. "We'll there's no need to cry anymore, I'm right here, and I will stay with you for as long as you want."
"That makes me happy." I smile.
"Good." He strokes my cheek softly. "I like making you happy."
I look up at him hopefully, "You know what would make me really happy?"
