Vaggi flipped the page of her book where she was lying on her stomach on the bed, propped up on her elbows. As she felt the weight of something on top of her, she looked over her shoulder.

“Hey, KeeKee.”

She could just barely see her move out of the corner of her eye, feeling her paws press into her back as she looped around herself in a tiny circle before she settled down, curling into a ball at the small of her back.

KeeKee’s purrs vibrated against her spine, making her smile. She turned her eyes back to her book, finding her spot again.

 

She heard something click, making her turn her head.

There stood Charlie, eyes sparkling, her smile wide, cell phone in hand. “Awww, you guys are so cute!”

Vaggi heard the shutter as she took another picture, stepping closer to take another. She laughed.

“Babe, how many pictures are you planning on taking?”

“As many as I can!”

 

Charlie carefully sat down at the edge of the bed, and Vaggi could hear the snapping of the shutter several times in quick succession. She felt KeeKee move to raise her head, blinking up at Charlie with a sleepy eye.

Charlie lowered her phone, leaning over Vaggi to scratch KeeKee below the chin. She bent down, pressing a kiss to Vaggi’s cheek.

“Can I join you?”

Vaggi smiled. “Of course you can.”

 

Lying down next to her, Charlie’s side pressed against hers, her touch warm. She turned to look at her, the love in her eyes making her feel like melting.

Leaning forward, she pressed her lips to Charlie’s.

An excited giggle bubbled up Charlie’s throat, making Vaggi’s smile grow even larger.

She was so pretty.

 

She leaned her forehead against Charlie’s, eyes slipping shut, bathing in her presence. Her hand grasped hers, fingers lacing. She could feel Charlie’s fingers gently press against the back of her hand.

As Charlie leaned in to kiss her again, she felt her fingers brush her cheek. She leaned into the touch, eyes slipping back open.

As their eyes met, she felt her heart beat in her chest.

She would never get sick of looking at her, looking into her eyes, seeing the warmth and the care in them. Of touching her, feeling her skin grow hot against her own.

 

Charlie settled down next to her, hand never leaving hers.

As Vaggi’s eyes turned back to the words on the page, she felt Charlie’s weight against her side, KeeKee still resting on her back.

 

It made her feel that much warmer.
