Let's Get Married

The next morning, Lily is woken up by the alarm on her phone at the bedside. She opens her eyes in a daze and frowns as she reaches for the phone, only to feel a man's warm arm.

Surprised, she turns around and meets his bleary eyes. He is also taken aback.

"Looking for your phone?" Rex hands her the phone and hugs her hard, saying, "Let's stay in bed a little longer."

It occurs to Lily that he has come back last night.

Tears roll in her eyes as she slowly reaches out to hug him. "I've been waking up alone every day these past six months. I'm yet to get used to seeing you in the morning."

Hearing that, he hugs her even tighter, whispering beside her neck, his voice husky from the slumber, "Then try to get used to it. I promise you will get more of this."

Lily laughs silently, enjoying the long overdue moment of intimacy, but she has to end this sooner. "My father's surgery is today. It's time to get up."

Rex really wants to hold her like this until the end of time, but he couldn't leave his father-in-law waiting for surgery in the next room. "Alright," he says.

Lily nods and lets go of him, trying to bring herself up. However, a slight pain between her legs emerges with her movement.

She sucks in a breath of cold air and hisses. Rex turns around upon hearing that while buttoning his shirt. "What's wrong?"

Lily avoids his gaze and lies with embarrassment, "It's nothing. I pulled my hair."

Rex doesn't give it much thought and continues to clasp his buttons.

Lily can't get their passionate night out of her head. Her ears are turning red and she hides her blush by dressing. After sitting for a while to adapt to this bittersweet feeling, she gets out of bed.
