He laughed. "I just want to be alone with you. Maybe we can go for a walk in Central Park tonight?"
"That sounds perfect. The simplest things are my favorite things to do with you." I gave him a swift kiss on the lips. "Now get dressed, old man, we have places to be."
I squealed as he pulled me on top of him.
"What's the rush?"
There was no rush. Right now all I wanted was for us to get lost in each other again.

"Oh, I almost forgot. Bee accidentally left her sunglasses at the hospital. I told her we could drop them off for her." I pressed the button for their floor after we stepped onto the elevator.
"We can just give them to her at dinner tonight."
"But we're right here. It'll only take a second."
James shrugged his shoulders and I tried to hide my smile. The doors dinged open on Mason and Bee's floor.
I knocked on their door, but there was no answer.
"I guess she's at yoga or something. Which means Mason is on a run. One sec." I pulled out the key I had to their place. Bee had given it to me for when they went on business trips together. They had one plant in their apartment, and Bee was terrified ofkilling it. She said it was her practice baby. I smiled as I put the key into the lock. Maybe I needed to get myself a plant too.
"Are you sure it's okay for us to just go in? What if they're...you know." He winked at me.
I laughed. "Then they should have answered the door. Besides, that's what spare keys are for. Returning your friend's sunglasses if you happen to be in the neighborhood."
"I guess," James said and put his hands in his pockets.
I opened the door to an empty apartment.
"At least they're not naked," James said with a laugh as he walked in.
Awkward.It reminded me of when I had almost given James head in front of a houseful of surprise guests for my graduation party.
"Surprise!" everyone yelled as they jumped out of their hiding places.
James laughed and wrapped his arms around me. "Do you think they heard my naked comment?" he whispered in my ear.
"I have no idea."
He laughed again and kissed my cheek. "Thanks for the surprise. I knew you were acting weird."
I smiled up at him.
"Happy birthday!" Jen screamed and threw her arms around his neck. "Oh, God, I'm sorry," she said and pulled back. "Does it still hurt?"
"I'm okay," James said.
"I hope it's alright that I invited Ian," she said.
James glanced at Ian who was standing off to the side of everyone else. "When did that happen?"
"You were unconscious for a long time. Come with me." She grabbed his hand and pulled him toward Ian.
James smiled at me from over his shoulder.
"Whoa let me help you," I said and grabbed a huge gift wrapped box from Rob. He was holding it with one arm while balancing a crutch. "Geez, what's in here? This is ridiculously heavy."
