He's standing there, smiling at me with his perfect teeth showing. A leather jacket and a plain white shirt fits his muscular physique and a pair of jeans that make me want to melt.

  I always had a soft spot for guys in jeans...and beanies. It's just so, I don't know, irresistible!

  He walks towards me and my eyes widen. Every step he takes makes my heart thump faster and my body feel weaker. It's like he has this spell on me, a spell no one else understands. Just him and I.

  We have a connection, I've always known that.

  He stops once he's standing right in front of me, about half a foot apart. To me, it feels like he's practically leaning on me.

  "Blair." He says my name and I suck in a breath. Oh jeez, he makes my own name sound like heaven itself. I can't even respond because he took my breath away. I hear my name all the time but it never makes me feel this way.

  "Blair." He repeats and I gather up the courage to speak. Well, more like catch my breath.

  "Y–yes?"

  "You're beautiful." He smiles and I almost faint right there. Thank God I don't. I quietly gasp when he starts to lean in, his eyes closed, and his lips just centimeters away. And they're just inching closer to mine.

  Then–

I feel something soft on my lips and I open my eyes.

"Hello, my queen." River whispered, his arm around my waist. I turned on the bed and faced him on my side.

"Hi, River, " I grinned at him.

He began to lean in but I stopped him. I grabbed a mint from my bedside table, chewed it, swallowed, then gave him a smile.

"Okay, you can kiss me now."

River chuckled before cupping my cheek and meeting my lips. It was a slow, sweet kiss but one of my favorites. I smiled when he kissed my forehead and pulled back.

"What are you smiling at?" He asked, rubbing circles on my arm.

I leaned my forehead on his and closed my eyes. "My dream came true."

"This is better than a dream, my queen. This is paradise."

River pulled me into a small hug and I groaned. "What's wrong, my queen?"

  "I just..." I gave him a small smile. "I just love you too much."

  "You're so adorable. I love you, "  River kissed my cheek and I chuckled. He rubbed my back as I hold onto him, never wanting to let go.

  I sighed. "I wish we could stay in bed forever."

  "Me too, " he smirked. "But you know what staying in bed leads to–"

  "HI, MOMMY!"

The munchkin barged in and jumped on top of me.

I laughed. "Hi, baby."

"Guess what, guess what, guess what?"

"What?" I smiled at our three year old baby boy.

"Aunt Alexis gave me a new Wii game!" he exclaimed and River sat up.
