1. I don't really know where in our conversation Justin and I fell asleep, but I awoke around 4 pm to find that we had been sharing a pillow, our noses nearly touching and Justin's arm across my back. He had a strong hold on my shoulder as he pulled me close. I laid there a few minutes, a smile spread across my face, thinking about what I'd give to wake up like that every morning. Finally I decided I'd better leave so I didn't wake him. I lifted his arm gently and slipped out from beneath it to leave him to his nap.
2. After he awoke, the following conversation took place.
Justin: "I've gotta start heading home, babe."
Nicole: "You sure?"
Justin: "You wanna come with me?"
Nicole: "You know I can't."
Justin: "Sure you can. We'll run away."
Nicole: " ...and where do you suggest we run to?"
Justin: "Well, how much money do you have?"
Nicole: "2 dollars and 13 cents."
Justin: "hmm. Combined with what I have, we still don't have enough to get us very far but I'll make you a deal."
Nicole: "Let's hear it."
Justin: "We'll put all our spare change in an old box and we'll save it up to run away together...just the two of us. We won't tell anybody where we're headed, or when we're leaving."
Nicole: "I'm gonna hold you to that."
What makes this even better is that it was all whispered as I sat with my back to Justin, his arms around me in that blue-ish sort of light you only find right before the sunset.
