I just want you with me

She straightened herself and smiled.

"What's wrong, J?"

"You've been in the kitchen for too long," he complained. He stepped forward to pull her for another hug.

"Why are you being so needy today?" she asked with a chuckle, wrapping her arms around his waist as she rested her cheek against his chest. 

"I just want you with me. Right in front of me. I feel worried when I couldn't see you," he choked out.

"You..." she was speechless. Would he act this way for long? They could not stay like this forever. They still needed to go out to work and he could not expect them to be together all the time.

"Can you hear my heart calling your name?" he asked.

She closed her eyes and listened. His heart was beating so loud, it was clear to her. She could not stop smiling.

"My heart beats only for you," he said romantically but there was some desperation injected in it as well.
