"You! What are you doing here?" I screamed, covering myself.
"I came for you," He said that as if it made complete sense.
"I don't want to see you. Go away," Instead of going away as I had wished he would, he walked into the river, slowly trudging towards my showering self.
"I said go away!" I shouted, turning away from him as if that would help but he didn't heed my words.
"I know you did," He replied, a small smirk on that handsome face that I had grown to both love and hate.
"Then why aren't you going away?" I asked, now beginning to take slow steps back as he got closer.
"Because I came to see you and I'm not going anywhere until I see you," Was that supposed to be flattery? Why don't I feel flattered then?
"If I say so myself, I think you've seen too much of me," I mumbled and he seemed pleased by my words which only frustrated me further.
"Too much of you is never enough for me. The more you show, the more I want," Now I felt flattered.

Lying on top of me with the covers resting on her back, she glared at me with an adorable pout on her face, her green eyes glowing like bright embers and her light brown, almost golden hair hanging in ringlets around her face. 


I felt the front of her body pressed down on mine and smirked at the satisfying feeling, wrapping my arms around her waist before pulling her down to kiss her forehead. 


"I've been trying to wake you up for ages but you wouldn't wake up. I thought you had died," Alexa exaggerated and I chuckled, opening my eyes and rubbing the tiredness away. 


"It's far too early for me to die, love. Besides, I just married you. I plan on staying stuck by your side for as long as I can," She smiled at me, her hands placed on my cheeks before she moved in for a morning kiss.
