The grass is green! The sky is blue! The flowers smell beautiful! His coffee tastes amazing! His shirt smells heavenly! Everything was amazing!
Charlie was on cloud 9 as he strolled into his office. This morning was the best morning he has had in what feels like a lifetime. His Harry was staying with him, which at first apparently Harry didn't know if she would be welcomed at his home. While it was slightly insulting but he understood and simply told her that his home was her home and always has been and always will be.
While nothing naughty had happened that night, he was able to hold her as they slept which was more disbelieving and arousing that she was finally here and seeing the trust she still had in him to protect her in her sleep. Waking up with her in his arms was breathtaking, watching her nose twitch as she woke up and the little stretch she did right before she opened her eyes? Enchanting.
Not to mention when he had to get up to get dressed, Harry slipped out and sleepily made her way to the kitchen and created a delicious breakfast even if she laughed and said, "Its just eggs, toast and some fruit."
Then! Then she crafted this ambrosia in a thermos. Hints of cinnamon and vanilla stuck to his shirt from where she fixed his collar and gave him a kiss and hug goodbye while pushing him out the door smiling and telling him he was going to be late!
He was walking in heaven and nothing could ruin his day.
His underlings all laughed a little at his lovestruck aura and commented that he had to have gotten lucky and if it was beautiful blackhaired lady they saw around town yesterday.
Grinning Charlie could only nod as thoughts of getting off of work and dinner were stuck on loop cycling through head. While the day seemed to drag on, nothing serious happen that required his attention.
When it was finally time to head home, Charlie could not get out of the office fast enough. His officers being the little troublemakers they were waylaid him by waiting and asking questions as he tried to get out the door.
"Chief, about that cold case in September, three years ago? I think I found new evidence."
"Great work, carry on!"
"Chief, about the annual picnic this weekend?"
"If its in budget, go for it!"
"Chief, we need to-"
"I'll answers your questions tomorrow! Now is there any real pressing issues?" Charlie demanded looking at his officers. Seeing head shakes of 'no' and hearing it, he stomped his way through the door to his truck. Only to have his giddiness return as he drove home to where his heart was waiting.
Pulling up into his driveway, Charlie rushed inside only to still as he saw the love of his life napping in his chair, curled up in his police academy sweatshirt. The sight was adorable and endearing that he felt heart melt. Setting his stuff down and tugging off his boots, Charlie quietly but quickly made his way upstairs to change into something more comfortable.
Silently he strode to his chair and gently picked up Harry and sat down cuddling her close to his chest. All the giddiness and even the anxiousness he didn't realize he was feeling fled at the weight of having her in his arms once more. He felt whole. His universe back in order.
Ding! Dong!
Charlie must have fallen asleep because he woke up to the doorbell, it was darkening outside and a blanket laid over him was where his heart had been resting. Moving to get up and answer the door, he was frowning, wondering where Harry was?
"Hey love," Harry came into view looking definitely more awake and holding her wallet as she moved towards the door.
"Harry?" came Charlie's sleep roughened reply.
"I ordered pizza for dinner," Harry opened the door and paid the delivery boy taking the pizza box from him.
Setting down the box, Harry sashayed over to Charlie pressing a airy kiss on his lips and brushing her fingers through his hair, "Have a good nap?"
Smiling Charlie relaxed, "The best."
Sliding onto his lap, Harry laughed, "And where would you like dinner? Here or at the table?"
"Wherever you are," Charlie grinned happily as his hands slid to rest on Harry's hips.
"Charlie Swan, you are impossible!" Harry giggled even though she scooted closer so their lips were a mere breath apart.
"No, just in heaven," Charlie breathed out touching his lips to hers.
AN - Thank you for all of the love you have shown!
