The Best Man novel Chapter 67

"I'm the best you've ever had?", he really looked touched as he placed his hand over his chest

"You're the best thing to ever happen to me", I stood on my tippy-toes to plant my lips against his, and he smiled genuinely as I pulled away to look at the screen again, wrapping his arm around me. His face dropped a little and I imagined it must have been from the heat from the mask because I felt the same.

"Please get this thing off my face", he cried, fanning his face with his hands and I turned on some water in the basin so that we can rinse it off

We spent the rest of the night lying in bed talking about nothing while vibing to some slowed songs on my playlist, making the drowsy feeling hit even harder

"Have you realized you appreciate music more when you're high?", I asked aloud, and I felt him nod his head. He was laying on my chest while I played with his hair.

"Can I let you in on a random thought?", he looked up at me

"Yeah sure, what it is?"

"Come closer", he motioned with his hand and I leaned closer to his face. "I want our baby to have your eyes"

"Wait, what?", I giggled uncontrollably, not being able to help myself

"Like when we have a baby, I mean when we do decide to have a baby, whenever you down because I am, we can even make one right now if you're up for it; I'm just saying", he rambled so fast, I think he lost me right there at the beginning

"I want him or her to have your eyes"

"I get that but why my eyes and not yours?"

"Your eyes are way prettier than mine", he paused for a second. "No wait, actually I want our baby to look like you"

"Have you looked at yourself in the mirror? It's actually kind of rude that you get to walk around like this"

He chuckled. "Like what?"

"Looking this goddamn fine like geez, we get it that God has his favorites...no need to brag"

He laughed

"You have. So does that mean you still do even now?", I asked as we locked eyes again, and he smiled lazily at me.

"I really do love you, now more than ever", he was still trailing his fingers in my face. and I leaned to kiss him on his forehead, both his cheeks and finally his lips and he closed his eyes, slowly drifting off to sleep as he was starting to mumble out words and I couldn't tell what he was saying exactly

"Goodnight babe", I whispered as I covered us both with the blanket and cuddled next to him

"Goodnight Bella"

The next morning, I woke up to Nathan giving me kisses all over my face, a smile already appearing on my lips even though I was still half asleep, but then I couldn't help it. Him showing me affection every morning when he wakes up was already a great way to start my day, and he's actually the first person I've dated who preferred physical touch as his form of love language......and I loved it.

"Good morning baby", he smiled when I finally peeled my eyes open

"Good morning", I pulled the covers closer to my face, closing my eyes to take a mini nap again, and I felt him brush his hands in my hair before pressing his lips against my temple, seconds later I felt the bed undip besides me

I rolled on my stomach to see him on the floor doing sit-ups. He normally woke up around 5am to go to the gym but when he couldn't, he just worked out at home before his morning shower and I couldn't help but stare at him as he did his thing. He would occasionally catch me staring at him and smiled instead. Every time I looked at him, I get filled with this sense of happiness and warmth in my heart.
