You've had a rotten day and all you want to do is come home and cuddle with your boyfriend.

Some minor swearing and and innuendo, although not much.

...............

What a crappy day you've had! Everything just seemed to go wrong. It was problem after problem after problem at your office today.

You and your team were supposed to make a big presentation this morning and it was interrupted by a fire!

It wasn't a big fire, although part of the office kitchen was destroyed. Some idiots decided to try and fry up a damn steak and nearly burned the place down!

This, the not so lovely interruption that more or less,  ruined all the hard work that your team had done. Oooh, you were so pissed off at that guy!

You have half a mind to make him do the presentation the next time around! What a total loser. You huff as you walk up the stairs to your apartment. God, you're so pissed off and tired, all you want right now is get inside your apartment and crash.

You insert the key into the lock and turn it, pushing the door open and stepping inside, closing it behind you. Your boyfriend, Zach, is sprawled out on the couch, watching a basketball game on TV. He looks over at you and immediately clicks off the TV and sits up straight.

"Hey, doll," he greets you as you shrug out of your coat and kick off your shoes, immediately coming over to snuggle with him.

"Hey. I had the worst day." Zach kisses the top of your head and you manage a small smile.

"I kind of wished you would have stayed lying down," you tease. "That looked so inviting." Zach chuckles and stretches out again and you lie next to him.

"You know my big presentation that I worked so hard on?"

"Yeah?"

"Well, some dumbass ruined it by nearly burning down the office kitchen."

"Oh, Y/N," Zach murmurs softly as he strokes your back. "I'm sorry." You bury your face in his tshirt and breathe in the scent of his cologne.

"Me too. Now, we'll have to redo it.  Oh, that just pisses me off."

"I don't blame you. You worked really hard on that. "

"Then after all that crap, two of our copy machines blew out. So now, we're down to one. Which it seems like everybody and their dog needs to use a copier this week."

"Fun times."

"Oh, sure," you remark dryly. "Super fun." Zach gently kisses you and you can feel the tension starting to leave your body.

"This is exactly what I needed, my Zach." He traces his finger over your face and you smile more. Zach is a good guy.

He certainly hasn't had it easy, though. He was in the Marines and served three tours over in Afghanistan and it really messed him up.

Luckily, he had a good friend help him out and he's really been doing good these last few months. He was even homeless for a while,  which just breaks your heart to think about.

You met Zach when he was first working at his friend's brother in law's restaurant and you really hit it off. You're so happy to have found Zach. He says the same thing about you.

You'd had a run of bad luck in relationships with numerous assholes,  who clearly didn't have any balls and no problem with cheating on you or trying to get away with treating you like crap.

You'd pretty much given up on finding anybody decent to date. Until you met Zach, that is. He's definitely the one for you.

"Wanna order pizza and just chill on the couch this evening?" Zach asks, rubbing your back. You kiss his nose and he grins.

"That sounds like the best thing I've heard all damn day."

................

After a dinner of supreme pizza and garlic breadsticks and some chocolate ice cream, you nearly pass out next to Zach on the couch, your bodies pressed together.

You love this. You love being close to Zach in this way. It's so intimate and cozy. You're completely relaxed by now, all the problems of the day are forgotten. (Maybe not totally, but close enough.)

"Feel better, doll?" Zach murmurs softly in your ear. You're practically asleep,  you're so damn relaxed.

"Hell yeah I do." You open your eyes and stare at Zach. He's so cute! You still can't believe that he was actually interested in you. You feel so lucky to have him.

"I'm glad. I hate seeing you upset."

"Same as I do when you're upset." You kiss him and Zach grins. You lightly touch his face.

"I think we were meant to find each other. What do you think?"

"I think fate is crap," you joke. "But hey, who am I to say what the universe might be trying to tell us?"

"I think that's a good thing to say." Zach wraps his strong arms around you and you feel safe. And happy. Happy that you found this awesome guy who loves you so damn much.  And who you love so damn much.

"Yeah.  Wanna take a shower with me?" Zach grins impishly.

"Will we have some  'fun' in the shower?"

"Definitely."

"Then I say, hell yeah." You laugh as you both untangle yourselves from each other and head for the bathroom.

This will really help you to relax and hopefully get some good sleep tonight.
