I wake up in an empty bed feeling nervous about what I am about to tell my family. I mean I know they will support me. But I still feel bad it is so close to Kate’s big day. Wondering where Griff went to, I stretched. and sat up planning to get out of bed. But in that moment the door to our room opens. Just like Friday morning Griffin comes walking in with two- mugs of coffee in his hand and a bright smile on his face. And just like he did Friday he gives me my mug, kisses my cheek, and settles back into bed with me. 

“I cannot believe you are willing to move in with me so much sooner than we said we would. You have a lifetime of me bringing you coffee in bed to look forward to” He beams at me. 

It’s a small thing but the fact that we’ll have these small things. Life will undoubtedly become very busy for us. Just starting every morning having a coffee in bed sounds amazing. 

“I love you Griff, and I can’t wait to start our life together,” is my only 

answer. 

Because it is as simple as that, whatever may be there I love Griffin and I am sure we will have a happy life ahead of us. Now it is just a matter of telling my family. When we finished our coffee we took a quick shower together ignoring the obvious tension between the two of us. Both for a

But if we cannot hold out that long, and. if Griff loses his control after the event that is fine too. Missing him for a week would be rough but that’s something we could survive.

We said we would all have breakfast at Kate’s place and I decided to head out a little earlier. Griffin suggested doing so, this way we can ask Kate if it would bother her if I tell everyone about moving in with Griffin. I should have known better than to think Kate would be bothered by me telling something big like this. She squeals again jumping up and down before hugging the both of us. Tim is a lot calmer than my dear sister, I am glad he is. Because if they would both be this hyperactive they would drive everyone away. However, the moment Kate releases us he walks over, hugging the two of us and congratulating us, 

“What is Tim congratulating the two of you for?” Dad’s voice suddenly rings through the living room. 

Kate eagerly nods at us, telling us once more without words that she doesn’t mind us stealing a bit of her thunder. Let us all sit down so the breakfast Kate made us doesn’t get cold and then I tell you like I planned. As always Mom can’t stand waiting and she rolls her eyes, everybody else chuckles at her. Dad however whispers something in her ear. She smiles back at him with one of those bright smiles I only ever see her give him. This is the kind of love I dreamed of as a little girl. This is the kind of love I wanted to find in my mate. A best friend and

For so long I had given up on that dream, I figured it was not for me. They made me believe that it was me, that I was not worth being loved like that. Being able to love like that. Now I found it all in Griffin. Dad was trying to comfort Mom, but little did he know he gave me extra confirmation that what I was doing was right. Confirmation that it wasn‘ t about me being pushed into doing things quicker than I had wanted to. It wasn’t about me, giving in to Griffin because he didn’t trust me. He wasn’t the only one that lost control. Two nights ago I almost begged him to mark me even if I was not ready. What this all was about, was that our bond was so strong that not being together hurt us.
