He saw her sleeping, an angel she was. Just a hint of smile on her lips, face so peaceful. Looking at her, he too felt at peace. A sigh escaped his lips. He softly kissed her forehead. She moved ever so little. Wasn't she perfect! He was proud, because she was his. He adored her. With an effort he had to pull himself away from her...he had to go to the office.
Many times during the day, he couldn't stop thinking of her. How she had changed his life forever! He was more grounded, more responsible now. She brought out the child within him. He laughed more, relaxed more and loved to spend every spare moment with her.
When he returned home in the evening, she greeted him by rushing into his arms. He embraced her lovingly. He could smell the fragrance of her soap. Her skin a faint pink, soft and supple after her evening bath. Her eyes naughty as she giggled.
He pinched her cheeks lightly and she pouted her lips to feign disapproval. It made her look all the more endearing. He bent forward and nuzzled her neck. She yelped and pushed him away.
"Paapaa! Your face is rough. It pricks and tickles me. I don't like it."
Would he let his stubble stop him playing with his princess??
