He drew me close to his side as if he did not want to let go of me. We were only like this for a couple of minutes after making love for how many rounds? I did not know. I lost count.

I pinched his side.

“Ouch. That hurts, Pumpkin.”

“That's what you asked,” I said, chuckling. “This is true, Cali. This is not a dream.”

Inhaling deeply, I sniffed the smell of after-sex.

“I love you, Pumpkin.”

“I love you, too, Cali,” I whispered and kissed him on his lips.
