The afternoon grew tired, the sun was setting on the horizon. It was a lazy weekend for both of them, after a while, an afternoon off was welcomed in their household. He watched her at the other end of the bed, leaning in her laptop typing off what seems to be the latest masterpiece from her mind. That was what he loved the most about her, her mind; the way she speaks it, the way she carries it, the way it dresses her better than any designer dress she ever put on. He loved her because of it.
He still sat quietly at the other end of the bed, pretending to be reading the charts, but he was watching her intently. After years of being together, he still finds it exciting to watch her when she was not looking. He watched her as her forehead wrinkles trying to think a better phrase for her sentence. He watched her as she tucked in a loose strand of her hair. He watched her as she took her glasses off and rubbed her eyes a little bit, hoping to get more inspiration that way. He watched her looking outside the window trying to grasp the beauty, hoping to put that down in writing. He knew her too well.
He smiled, and still staring at her. Her beauty threw him off for a minute. He didn't know what kind of luck fell on him when she came up to him and said 'make me yours'. He always wondered, why did she picked him. Out of guys who pursued her, she picked him.
He didn't know at the beginning though. The subtle hints she'd dropped. The way she defended him. She fought for him and believed in him when others abandoned him. She scared him at the beginning, in a good way though. She scared him for the fact there was a woman, like her, who fell for him. She was extraordinary compared to him. He was just a simple man. But now, she's his extraordinary woman, and she had make him extraordinary too.
She was still leaning on her computer, typing away her words. A breeze came through the window, blowing her hair sideways. The afternoon sunlight hit them in the perfect time it glimmers. His breath stopped for a while, after all these years, the color of her hair still made his heart skipped a beat. The way the sun reflected it, making it so vibrant, just like her.
After a while she looked up to him, with his silly grin on his face his eyes still on her.
"What?" she said in a sassy way. She was always like that, she didn't really like it when he praised her. She told him it made her feel uncomfortable, just as she made him feel that the first time she confessed that she had liked him from the first time she saw him.
He smiled and came over to her, "Three kids and counting, you're still the most beautiful woman I've ever laid my eyes on."
She blushed, "I'm glad you took a chance to love me."
"And I'm glad you caught me when I was falling."
