When our lips parted for air Alice breathed “bedroom, now” and took my hand to lead me to the bedroom for an energetic and passionate love-making session. I figured I wouldn’t have to do as much extra training in the gym after that cheesecake than I thought.

I woke to the sun shining through a gap in the curtains into my eyes. I squinted and looked over to see my girlfriend with her head rested perfectly in the crook of my arm and her arm lying across my stomach, causing me to smile. I bent my head down to kiss her on the forehead and sighed contently, before falling back into a gentle slumber.

A little while later I felt Dana stir and I opened my eyes to see her opening hers too. She looked up at me sleepily and grinned.

“Good morning honey” she pecked my cheek.

“Good morning” I replied and pulled my arm around Dana’s shoulder to bring her closer to me.

“Have you thought about when you want to move in? Do you know what you are going to do with your place?” I asked.

“Well, I was thinking about it and, well, I basically live here already so why don’t we start moving my stuff today? We’ve got nothing better to do today, unless you wanted to do something else?”

“No, that sounds great. Why wait right? What about your place?”

“I’ll sort out putting it on the market tomorrow. There’s no hurry about that though, I guess it doesn’t matter if I end up keeping it for a while” Dana told me.

I thought about this for a moment. I hadn’t actually considered what would happen if our relationship didn’t work out, I had always thought our relationship was forever and I still did, but we had never discussed a back-up plan. “Why don’t you keep the house for a while? That way we can…you know, in case you living here doesn’t work out”.

“In case we break up you mean?” Dana looked hurt and I immediately regretted saying but I did think it was a good idea.

“No it’s not that, in case you hate living here or something. You might find me unbearable to live with.”
