gross.”
    “What?” Ryan said. “Your mom is hot.”
    “ Ew,” Sean said.
    “Where’s their bedroom?” Cortland asked with a smirk.
    Sean grabbed my hand and pulled me inside. “We’re going to bed now.”
    Ryan laughed. “So you can rub sunscreen on my sister’s tits, fuck her in the room next to mine, and say she’s the best sex you’ve had, but I can’t say your mom is hot? It’s payback time.”
    “Nevermind. We don’t need you to move with us. We’re good,” Sean said over his shoulder.
    “That’s okay beca use I’m moving in with your mom,” Ryan shouted to us.
    Sean and I got back to our bedroom and crawled into bed.
    “Your family is something else,” he said.
    “They’re your family too.”
    He laughed. “That just makes it worse.”

    When I woke up the next morning, Scarlet was still asleep. I was always an early riser, but she could sleep all day if I let her. She was the laziest hard worker I ever met. But it was okay because I got to watch her sleep. It was a favorite pastime of mine.
    She took a deep breath then turned on her side, hugging me. I didn’t move as I watched her lips open slightly, part of her teeth showing. My hands glided her through her hair. The touch didn’t stir her. If I were a writer, I could write a thousand poems about this moment. I was more fascinated with her face than the most prestigious work of art. The complexity of her face was more beautiful than anything I’d ever seen.
    When she took another breath, she sucked the air from my lungs. Her quiet sighs were music to my ears. I would never grow tired of hearing them. Even when we were old and gray, I knew I would still do this.
    I woke up next to Penelope countless times but I never watched her sleep like this. In fact, I used to watch Scarlet sleep before we even got together. Maybe I’ve always been in love with her but I never made a move because I assumed Scarlet would shut me down. I regretted all the years we lost. We could have been married a long time ago.
    She was going to be my wife tomorrow, and I couldn’t wait for that moment to arrive. I wanted her to walk down the aisle toward me, glowing with the all the lights that were held in the stars. The sun would shine but it would be a faint glow compared to her. I was never an emotional or sentimental guy, but I was mushy when it came to her. I never thought I would want to get married so much. In my youth, marriage was known as the time when you were too old to score girls and one night stands. I never imagined it being the best day of my life. But then again, I never imagined I would end up with Scarlet, the most amazing girl I had ever known. I wasn’t sure what I had done to earn her love. I made too many mistakes to count. I just hoped she wouldn’t realize she was making the wrong decision before tomorrow. If she did, she would leave me. And if she did leave me, my world would be over. The sun wouldn’t be bright. Clouds would always cloud my sky. I really couldn’t go on. Loving someone this much was scary. I was so happy and appreciative of what I had that it was painful to think about. I never felt that away before.
    She moaned quietly the n opened her eyes. She stared at me for a long time before she was fully awake. “No pictures?” she whispered.
    “I already got em.”
    “I should have known.” She stretched as she yawned, still leaning against my chest.
    “Sleep well?”
    “Yeah.”
    “Only one more day. I wish it was here already.”
    “It’ll be here before you know it.”
    “Let’s just get married today.”
    She smiled. “You sound like a girl.”
    I laughed. “I’m a total pussy with you. I’m not ashamed to admit it.”
    “Well, at least you’re honest about it.”
    “But you know what I want right now?”
    “What?”
    “Your pussy.”
    “I walked right into that one.”
    I climbed on top of her, pulling her legs apart. She didn’t object and I knew she wanted it. She enjoyed morning sex
