Relaxing
Stevonnie and Lapis lay on the old, tattered rug on the beach, staring up at the sky and watching the clouds.“So,” said Stevonnie, “Twenty years, huh?”Lapis nodded.“Yeah,” she said, “I just… I would never have imagined I'd be here. I… I never thought I deserved to be happy…”“Oh Lapis, you…”“...at least, not until you convinced me I did.”Stevonnie grinned.“Well, it's my pleasure, honey muffin,” they replied.“Honey muffin?” Lapis snorted and chuckled, “Is that the best you've got, cutie pie?”Stevonnie laughed, moving closer to their girlfriend and putting an arm around her.“I can do better, love.”“Oh can you, my precious?"“Dear.”“Babe.”“My sunshine."“... uh… sugar.”“Significant other.”The two broke into laughter, rolling over to look each other in the eyes.“You know,” said Stevonnie, “I can't imagine life without you.”“I'm sure you'd be okay,” replied Lapis, “You're strong… smart… beautiful…”“Well, so are you,” said Stevonnie, putting a hand on her cheek, “I love you so much, Lapis.”Lapis smiled, blushing.“I love you too, Stevonnie.”They leaned into each other and kissed, their lips locked together for some time as they lay in the warm sun, just the two of them, alone together in their little island home.There was nowhere else they would rather be.
