Out in the open and everything. We’ve been spending every day together, We go to work, come back and get together in the evenings. I learned a few things about him. Like he’s a great cook even though he doesn’t like to, he doesn’t sleep enough, he works too much and he’s a hopeless romantic, we’ve been on so many romantic dates. “What do you need?” I ask finally “I’m supposed to meet up with a few friends for dinner tonight, will you come with me?” he says and smiles.

It was nice seeing you with your friends” I say to him when we finally catch our breath after a 4th round of amazing sex. “I’m glad you finally met them, I’ve wanted to introduce you to them for a while now,” he says closing his eyes. “I’m glad too,” I say touching his brow. He opens his eyes and looks at me. “Will you ever say it when we’re not making love?” he asks and I look at him confused. “Say what?” “I love you” he says suddenly and my heart skips a beat.
