Escaping Grace

"I love you, Andy," I breathed against his lips, his hands caressing my bare skin a couple hours later.
"I love you too," he murmured, dropping a kiss on my neck. "More then you know."
I smiled, and snuggled closer.
What would I ever do without you? I wondered, tracing the tattoos on his neck with my nail. He brushed my bangs out of my eyes, his molten blue ones staring me down.
"What?" I asked when he didn't look away. "What is it?" "Nothing," he murmured, and I rolled to where I was facing him, the sheet tangling around my waist.
"Andy."
"I'm just glad you're coming with us." he said after a moment. "I don't like leaving you alone anymore."
I rolled my eyes.
"I'm serious," he raised up onto his elbows. "Every time you're on your own you get into some kind of trouble. You're like one of those kids you gotta put a leash on in public."
I wanted to be annoyed, but I couldn't stop the grin.
"Is that what you're gonna do to your kids?" I teased him. "Put them on a leash?"
"Yep. Just like Kellin." he nodded seriously.
I laughed, and sat up, holding the sheet to my chest. "I'd love to see you try to control a two year old on a leash."
"Maybe you will, one day," he grinned, his hands slipping around my waist and pulling me over him. "In another ten years."
"Or longer," I added. "I'll still be in my twenties!"
"Not in a couple days," he kissed my shoulder. "Though you still can't drink alcohol."
"Not that it's ever stopped me," I clucked. If I hadn't been drunk that first time we'd slept together I'd probably still be uber awkward and stuff around him; liquid courage to the rescue. My life would have been so different without him.
and probably not in a good way.
"I've been there, I know," he chuckled, and rolled to where he was over me, tugging the sheet from between us. "But you got me, and I'll never let you be sober if I can help it."
"Andy," I smacked his shoulder lightly. "I'm much more fun sober!"
"If you say so," he nuzzled my throat. "Drunk Leah is pretty fun too!"
"I guess I'll just have to show you how much fun sober me can be then," I said, wrapping my legs around his slim waist. He grinned down at me. "Babe, you show me that every day." And hopefully I would for a very long time.
Because I never wanted to lose him, not now that I had him.

Notes

Guys... I hope this isn't a lame way to end the story, but I'm so awful at endings I would probably drag this on forever if I had my chance.
and I will be doing a sequel! Though it will be a while since I have started some new projects. But when I do decide to post the sequel I'll leave an update here to let everyone know, if you want to stay subscribed. Thank you guys all so much for sticking with me through the story and leaving such positive comments, it really made my day to read them!
