"Oh?" I said, turning on my side to look at him, curious. "What?"
"A beautiful angel took the stage away from Meat Loaf and sang the one song I actually loved. I lost myself in her words, and in the fantasy that she could rescue me from the monster I was becoming. It was then, even as my body was with Gina, that my heart and mind started to change."
I grinned and kissed his cheek. "That's not embarrassing at all."
"Why not?" Julian said with a half grin. "Don't tell me you were imagining me when you were singing, were you?"
I grinned, kissed him, and turned over. "Okay, I won't tell you. Besides, we need to get some sleep. We're getting married tomorrow, remember?"
"Then why sleep now?" Julian asked, nuzzling my neck. "We can sleep in, get married, enjoy the family reception, and then go on our honeymoon. We can sleep on the train ride down."
I thought about it, then turned and kissed him. "Maybe a little bit of both? I've never made love on a train before."
Julian kissed me back, his hand caressing my hair, before breaking our kiss to look me in the eyes. "You saved my life, Krystal. You brought me back from the edge of self-destruction, and you showed me love. Regardless of what the future may hold, I love you."
There was nothing else that needed to be said.
The End…
