From My Heart by Breigh Forstner

I didn’t want you to think I was happy with doing it either,” He replied firmly, pressing his forehead against mine. “If you liked this, just wait until I propose…”
    Propose? Was he crazy?
    “You better be joking about that, Pelton. We haven’t even known each other for a year,” I scolded him, and he smirked, not showing off his perfect teeth.
    “Oh really. I’m hurt.” He pretended to sound sad. “But in all seriousness, when the timing is just right, I am going over the top, and I mean like crazy over the top, calling in the reinforcements, that kind of crazy.”
    My mouth then gravitated to his. I had to kiss him. Part of me just wanted him to stop rambling about ‘crazy’ and marriage proposals. His lips met mine softly at first, but soon we both had a hunger inside of us we needed to satisfy. I opened my mouth further so he could slip his tongue in, meeting mine in the middle. His touch on my hands was cold, but I let go of his fingers, slipping my hands under his long sleeve Henley, feeling the warm ridges of his stomach muscles. I scooted my butt back onto the bed mid-kiss, letting Cale lay me down so my head was in the center of his homemade heart.
    “I dreamt about this last night,” Cale said, breaking off our passionate kiss. He sat up on his knees, watching me as I squirmed underneath him. “You look so perfect lying there that way. You’re beautiful anyways, but I need to tell you that more because it seems like I’ve been so caught up and…”
    I put a finger up to his lips to hush him. “You crack me up when you start to ramble like that…” I teased him, leaning up to quickly kiss him on the lips.
    Both of us scooted all the way against the headboard, where we laid down together. He was behind me, wrapping his arms around me so his hands were settled on my stomach.
    “So did you have a good day with the girls?” Cale whispered as we were pressed against each other in silence.
    “Mhmm. Besides eating way too much ice cream last night. I wish I could go run or something because I feel like I gained five pounds.” I laughed, and Cale squeezed me tighter.
    “How come I’ve never seen you that relaxed before?” Cale whispered. “I never knew you liked to do stuff like that.”
    “Because I never did that much until last night,” I admitted. “Living at home, I never really had a chance to sit on the couch and watch a movie while eating ice cream. My parents would let me sleep over at Gina’s or Bethany’s sometimes if I had made up the excuse we were studying, and then we would dive into a tub of ice cream, splitting it three ways.”
    “I’ll have to remember to get some stocked up in the freezer on the bus.” Cale kissed just below my ear.
    “You want me fat?” I joked, turning around so I could see him. The expression on his face was priceless. I loved seeing his smile when he showed it off.
    “I would love you no matter what,” Cale said. “So eat whatever the hell you want.”
    I shook my head and buried it into his neck.
    “We talk about the most random things when we’re in bed,” I said. “Do you realize that?”
    “So what? We’re still getting to know each other,” Cale replied, reaching for the remote control on the nightstand by me. “And now I think it’s totally curl up with your boyfriend and watch a movie time.”
    “What did you have in mind?” I asked as he got up to look at my movie selection.
    “Well…seeing as you don’t have many guy movies…wait…” He paused, grabbing a movie that was stashed behind all of the others and waving it around. “You have Saw ? ” Damn, he found the movie! I went out and bought that secretly just for the guys the next time they came over. I didn’t want them to give me shit about not having any ‘guy’ movies lying around.
    I nodded, and he immediately took the disc out and slipped it into the DVD player.
    “Sorry. I was going to let you pick,” he said. “But at least if you get scared
