Weekend Getaway

"I love you," she said again, kissing the side of his head.

"I love you too." he said. "...guess I should get off of you huh?"

She pouted. "You're a good blanket."

"I know." he chuckled. He got up and grabbed his sweats, putting them on and then grabbed his shirt for Lacy to put on. When she put it on, he would get behind her and wrap an arm around her, while pulling a blanket over them.

Lacy put his shirt on and settled back into him, making sure he was comfortable on the couch. "...I didn't even realize the tv was on." she laughed a little.

"...I forgot all about it." he chuckled as he kissed her cheek.

"My raging and undying lust for you just makes me forget everything."

"Hm, that sounds about right." he smirked.

"Oh, I do believe it is the other way around as well." she smirked.

"It's right both ways."

'Exactly." She laughed softly and leaned her head back against his shoulder. "This is really nice."

"It is, right? I enjoy spending nights like this with you."

"While the sex is fantastic..." she laughed a little. "these times with you are my favorite. Where we're just laying together, watching a movie or talking about whatever is going on.. it's how I feel like I stay connected to you."

"Same here. Sex is great and all, but I like talking to my lady and finding out what's on your mind."

"House, bills, kids, weight, you... the usual." She chuckled.

"Well I just gotta be updated from time to time."

"You're the only one that's ever really cared about things like that, so I appreciate it." She laughed softly.

"Of course." he nodded. "I like to make sure you're okay." he said as he kissed her forehead.

"Has it ever been like... just sex with us? Even when we were first dating. Was it just something to do for you?"

"Nah. I always did care about you...even when I 'hated' you." he smirked. "I didn't want to rush into sex with you when we first started dating, especially if you weren't ready. I guess we both couldn't wait though." he chuckled.

"Guess not..." She laughed a little. "Can I be honest?"

"Yeah." he nodded.

"I was really excited for us to start dating, especially given our history... but it was just sex to me for a very short period of time," she admitted. "I was really hurt by Nathan's cheating, and he was trying to get me back and it just felt good to throw you in his face." She turned in his arms to face him. "I never expected you and I to get as far as we did, but I am really glad that we did. And I probably just ruined this trip." She sighed and sat up.

He sat up with her. "You didn't ruin this trip." he told her. "Granted, when we started dating I wish you would have told me...but it's in the past. No reason to get upset over it. I'm just glad that you changed your mind over time and actually decided to give me a shot."

"Phil, please keep in mind that I keep saying I don't deserve you and that you're too good for me," she said. "I figured that we'd date a while, you'd realize that you were wasting your time and you'd leave. That's why I didn't let myself get attached to you at first. It's why I always shied away."
