What I would do for you
"Babe, can you bring me the duct tape?". I jumped up startled from my daze and grab the roll next to me on the kitchen counter and bring it out to him in the living room.
Lee has been persuading me for months to move in with him. I kept saying no because, I have family and friends here. But, everyone told me I was making a huge mistake if I didn't do it.
So I followed my heart by giving him the final answer. Which brought him to my door with a handful of boxes and Starbucks .
We both had been on a coffee jump all night packing up my things. Slipping in little kisses between each other.
Each time he stood up to stretch his back I could tell he was exhausted. I tapped his shoulder as he turned with a smile grabbing the roll from my hand, "Thank you, baby".
I massaged his shoulders as he continued taping. "Lee we've been at this for 9 hrs. Why don't we take a break and sit on the couch".
He stopped what he was doing shifting towards me, "Your right ya let's do that". He took my hand in his as we walked to the couch. He was the first to sit pulling me onto his lap.
I gazed around my once filled apartment and saw tons of boxes already to go. I patted his leg, "We did good baby, really". He stretched his arms above his head in victory , "Yes we did".
I rest my head against his chest taking a slow deep breath. I close my eyes and listen to the beat of his heart.
The sound of it puts me at ease. With his arms wrap around me I drift off to sleep.
I open my eyes a few hrs later and I'm still in the same spot in my knight's arms.
I can't help but be thankful. For Lee being in my life and that he makes me happy. He's my love and my reason for leaving here and starting a new life with him.
That if at any moment he asked me to marry him I would in a heartbeat. I can't help but think what I would do for him honestly that would be anything.
I slowly get up from his lap giving him a quick kiss on the lips. I can't wake him he deserves to rest. I decided to continue packing leaving him in his peaceful state.
