He licked his lips, watching her undress. She was gorgeous. "I love you, Erin. So much."

Zippy grabbed at his clothes, yanking at his shirt, eager for him to strip down. "I'd love ya more if you'd get under the covers and get close to me."
Having a bed and a room to herself was a luxury Zippy never thought she would have. She got under the covers, snuggling into them, feeling like a princess in her very own castle.

He chuckled and obeyed, stripping and crawling in beside her. He pulled her against him, kissing her lips softly.

"It's so warm and perfect in here," she said softly, regretting for just a moment not running off and moving in with him. It could have been like this, without Eli and Luke. But then she remembered that David at home was important, and him staying in school was even more important.
Because, even though she could never share this with him, she felt had some stakes in his career too. They were unjustified, and completely crazy, but there all the same.

He kissed her forehead, moving his hand up and down her side. As though he were reading her mind he said, "We'll have this one day, sweetie. You and me. A place of our own. I promise."

"And a puppy?" She asked him, eyes innocent and hopeful.

He grinned at her. "And a puppy. Of course, a puppy."

She hugged him, pressing her entire body against his and buried her face in his neck. "I feel so safe with you."

He nuzzled her gently, brushing his hand over her hair. "I want you to feel safe with me. I want to take care of you. To love you."

She peeked up at him. "You know that means you gotta quit skipping school, right? The bookstore pays fine, but....you know."

He sighed, then kissed her. "Okay. Okay, but only so I can graduate early, at the end of spring term."

"Then you'll go to college, right? To become a lawyer? Or a banker? Or a doctor?" She looked at him hopefully. She felt like she won the lottery when it came to David- he had so much potential that someday, it was possibly he could even buy their family a house. She felt ridiculous thinking things like that, but maybe with all this love and promises being thrown around, it was hard not to. But she also knew that he could so easily slip.
She really, really wanted him to stay grounded. In fact, she agreed with his parents, 100%.

He nodded. "I'll go to college. But in New York." He moved his hands to frame her face, meeting her eyes. "I won't leave you, Erin. Not for anything. Not ever." And in all his naivete, he meant it.

"Do you know what ya wanna do yet? With...with your life?" Zippy asked him weakly, and kissed his temple. She moved a hand up and down his back and pressed herself up against him again.

He licked his lips. "I'm still trying to figure that part out. But there's time. Don't worry, sweetie. I'm gonna take care of us."
