The Last Thing

"Are you ready?" Dax asked me as my eyes began to get heavy, and I laid my head on his shoulder.
"Yeah, but you can stay. I can get myself home tonight, you still haven't found a lucky lady, and I'm too exhausted now to have any fun tonight."
"You should know better. Come on I'll walk you home then I can come back and stake my claim, besides no good looking women are gonna walk up to me when I have you on my arm." He said while tipping my chin up to him and placing a gentle kiss on the tip of my nose.
We got up out of the booth and I said good bye to our friends, allowing Dax to walk me back to my apartment. I was exhausted after my classes, my work out at the gym this afternoon, and then dancing tonight. I needed a down night, no men and no sex for me tonight. Dax put his hand in mine and intertwined our fingers while chuckling at my half-asleep attempt at walking. When we finally got to my place Dax used his key to the place, opened the door and steered me back to my bedroom before placing me on my bed, taking my shoes off, and tucking me under the covers.
"Dax." I called half-awake and purring from the comfort of my bed.
"Yeah babe?"
"Thank you."
"Any time G, I love you. Now get some sleep I’ll see you bright and early tomorrow morning," he said while placing a kiss on my forehead and pulling my sheet further up onto my shoulder.
"Can't I just sleep in till 8?"
"I'll give you till 7," he said while brushing my hair off my face.
"Ok. Night Dax I love you too," I said while letting out a gentle sigh of content. This was my relationship with Dax. It was as easy as breathing; I would always have him to take care of me as he would always have me to do the same. I heard the front door close and fell into a deep sleep immediately.
