"Do you want to go out tonight?"

         “Do you wanna go out tonight?” Stevie asked Asia as she rested on the couch. Lucky had just got new inventory in and she was up on the shelves all day. Asia gave a sigh and a pout as she looked over at Stevie.
         “I would love to, but I can’t move!” she complained, giving Stevie a smile. Suddenly Stevie gave a sly grin back, Asia wondering what he was up to.
         “You know,” he whispered closely in her ear, “I don’t think anybody’s going to be home tonight,” Stevie stated, Asia giving an inviting smile.
         “Is that so?” Asia inquired, a grin playing on the corners of her mouth.
         “You wanna stay here tonight?” Stevie suggested, pulling Asia closer to him. Asia laughed.
         “Best idea I’ve heard in awhile,” she commented mildly, Stevie kissing her on the cheek. Asia gave way to another smile as she sat herself on Stevie’s lap, his arms wrapped around her waist and her arms behind her, draped around his shoulders. They both gave a sigh of contentment as Stevie cradled Asia into his arm and let her lay there for awhile.
         “You know, I’ve really missed you,” Stevie admitted, Asia running her hand across his chin and tickling him.
         “I missed you too,” she giggled. “But all we ever do is work, work, work,” she added, both of them giving a small sigh. She sat up once more and pulled Stevie’s face close to hers. “I’m really sorry I don’t get to see you all that much,” Asia said quietly.
         “I’m sorry too,” Stevie answered back just as quietly, but a look of longing found way to his face. Gently, Asia pulled Stevie’s face to hers and gave him a deep kiss, her hands still wrapped around his neck, his arms trailing down her waist. Slowly, he laid Asia down on the couch as their kisses began to get more passionate. Stevie began to delicately trail his lips down Asia’s neck, Asia pulling Stevie towards her. She was starting to get that feeling again as Stevie’s hand slid up her leg and Asia tugged at his shirt.

*                    *                    *                    *                    *
         Asia sighed with content as her body lay close to Stevie’s, his arms draped around her and a sheet covering them.
         “What are you sighing about?” Stevie teased, Asia giving him a grin.
         “I love you,” Asia whispered, sincerity ringing in her voice. Stevie smiled down on her, brushing his hand up and down her arm.
         “I love you too,” he answered her, his eyes full of the words he spoke. Asia turned herself around and hugged onto Stevie, Stevie pulling her body closer as he gave her a kiss. “Asia?” he began after a moment of silence. Asia looked up at him with wonder. “I…I hope that this doesn’t do anything bad to our relationship,” Stevie said awkwardly. Asia just smiled.
         “Stevie, making love to you could never have been bad for our relationship. I believe it’s brought us closer,” Asia answered finally, Stevie smiling and pushing his lips to hers once more.
         “Have I ever told you you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me in my life?” Stevie looked straight into Asia’s eyes as he said this, Asia feeling a wave of emotion in her stomach. “Because you are. You are the best thing that’s ever happened to me in my life,” Stevie said honestly.
         “You’re the best thing that’s ever happened in mine,” Asia echoed truthfully. Stevie sighed once more then gave another sly grin to Asia. “What?” Asia gave a confused smile.
         “Have I ever told you how sexy that belly button ring makes you look?” Stevie murmured, giving a wicked grin.
         “No, tell me again,” Asia taunted, Stevie fiddling with the tiny heart charm that circled the ring. Stevie began to pull Asia closer once more.
         “I’d think I’d better show you instead,” Stevie offered with a kiss, throwing his body around Asia’s once more.
