*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kirstie wakes up still wrapped in Tim's arms. Raising her head up from his chest, she smiles at the sleeping man.

He was just as gorgeous asleep as he was awake. He slept quietly. His mouth closed and no snoring, whatsoever.

She smirks as she gently rubs a finger over a large hickey that she had left on his neck. She lays her head back down on his chest and mindlessly begins to circle one of his nipples with her finger.

He raises a hand up taking a hold of her hand to stop her. She raises her head to look at him.

"That tickles." He says with a slight smile but his eyes still closed.

His deep morning voice sending chills through her body.

"Good morning." She says softly as she kisses his bearded jaw. 

"Morning." He smiles, pulling her closer.

"Last night was the best." Kirstie says as she kisses him softly.

"So it really did happen? I didn't dream it?" Tim asks, finally opening his eyes to look at her.

"Yes, it really happened." She giggles. "And it was beyond perfect."

He bites his bottom lip as he plays with her fingers.

"I've never been with anyone like you before." Tim says as he watches their hands.

"What do you mean?" She asks as she raises up on her elbow.

"You made me feel.....wanted." Tim says. "Not one time did you put me down in any way."

"What about your other girlfriend?" Kirstie asks as she gently rubs him on the cheek.

"Jenika?" Tim asks and rolls his eyes. "She's the reason I'm the way I am. Broke, in debt and I guess, insecure about the way I look."

"Does it hurt to talk about?" Kirstie asks, secretly wanting to know more.

"No, I don't guess. It used to." Tim says as he sits up in bed, pulling the covers up around his waist.

Kirstie sits up also and turns to face him, taking him by the hand. "I'm a good listener." She smiles.

"She was very beautiful. Blond hair, blue eyes, a beautiful smile. But her personality just wasn't as pretty as she was. As Adam would say, she was a money hungry b*tch." Tim chuckles. "And she was. I just couldn't see it. I was blinded by her beauty and tried to buy her love. Nothing I did was ever good enough for her. It didn't take long until I was broke flat and got deep in debt just to make her happy. She was constantly throwing my weight up. Always saying that I was fat and needed to lose weight."

"I was wondering where the insecurity came from, now I know." Kirstie frowns.

"She made a complete fool out of me, Kirstie. I actually borrowed money from Rob to buy her an engagement ring. We invited a bunch of friends over. I was gonna propose to her. Got down on my knee and everything." Tim says, shaking his head. "She turned me down flat, laughed in my face. Made me look like a complete fool in front of all our friends. She took her secret lover by the hand and they drove away in his Mercedez."

"Oh, Baby, I am so sorry." Kirstie says as a tear rolls down her face.

"If it hadn't been for Adam and Rob, I probably would have killed myself." Tim says with a sniff. "Adam has been by my side every step of the way. He takes care of me cause I'm constantly f*cking up." Tim stops to wipe tears that were suddenly rolling down his face. "And Rob, bless his heart, told me that the debt I owed him was paid in full. You couldn't find two better people."

"They love you." Kirstie smiles as she wipes her thumb across his cheek, catching a tear.

"I'm sorry to be such a blubbering idiot." Tim says hanging his head.

"No! You listen to me, Tim" Kirstie says as she takes him by his chin whiskers and raises his head. "SHE is the idiot. Taking advantage of such a gorgeous, caring man. I'm going to tell you something and I want you to listen and listen good. I fell madly in love with you the minute I laid eyes on you. You were the most beautiful man I had ever seen. I know that we barely spoke at the station that day but when I went home, I could not get you off my mind. I want to show you something."

She starts getting up from the bed.

"Where are you going?" Tim asks.

"I'll be right back." She says, giving him a quick kiss before leaving the bedroom.

She goes to the living room and grabs her purse. She digs into it and finds her phone then heads back to the bedroom.

She climbs back into bed and sits beside Tim.

She thumbs through her pictures until she finds the ones she had taken of Tim that day at the service station.

"Look at these." She says handing him her phone.

"This is me." He states. "Why?"

"Cause I wanted something to remember you by. I figured my high society stupidity would keep us apart. But like you, I had a good friend that talked some sense into my head." Kirstie smiles. "And now I have you and I'm never going to let you go. I love you, Tim."

Tim sobs as a tear roll downs his cheek. "I love you too." He says through his tears.
