The sun was warm and shining through the window, the warmth making her curl into her blanket. Catherine sighed happily and yawned as she wiped the sleep out of her eyes. Feeling something moving next to her, she turns and looks at her side, where there is a raven haired girl lying in a ball. With a soft grin she turns over and stares at the girl beside her, fawning over her small, delicate features softly.
“Ya know, staring is considered rude in some countries.” Anne’s morning voice purrs our as she stretches. Catherine lets out a chuckle. “Well please accept my apologies. You just looked so peaceful.” She puts her arm around Anne and pulls her closer, resting her chin in the other woman’s hair. “Well if you’re going to continue flattering me, by all means please continue!” Anne quips back with a lazy smile. Catherine studies her face, tracing her features with her finger softly. “You really are beautiful, did you know that? Like do I tell you enough?” She asks as her brow furrows in thought.
Anne puts her hand on Catherine’s cheek, which the other leans into. “Catalina you make me feel more beautiful than anyone I’ve ever met.” Her response gets a smile and a short but loving kiss. “Good. I’ll tell you every second of the day if I have to. You’re so important to me.” Catherine whispers to her, their foreheads touching softly. “I love you too, ya big romantic!” Anne laughs as her girlfriend huffs beside her. “But seriously, I know you would. Which is why I can’t picture my happiness without you there.” Her arms snake behind Catherine’s back, holding her gently while they cuddle closer.
Catherine nuzzles her nose into Anne’s hair in response. “Do you have any plans today? Anything you want to do?” Anne smiles at her, “I’m already doing them!” Laughing at the face her love makes. “Not like that you goof! I meant laying with you, here, in the sun and solitude of our room. Just being with you, that’s what I want.” Catherine’s eyes soften and she curls into Anne. “There isn’t anywhere I would rather be either. Except maybe the kitchen with a nice cup of tea.” She teases with a sparkle in her eye.
Anne ruffles, “well fine, go to your beloved tea pot then!” Jokingly turning away. “Now now, you know I was kidding. I wouldn’t move if the world asked me too. I’m staying here, curled up with you, and I’ve got nothing to do today but to relax and some light reading.” Catherine pulls Anne back into her, playing with her hair gently. Anne smiles, one of those bright, beaming smiles of hers, and Catherine knows her previous statement was true. She really wouldn’t want to be somewhere else.
