Party with friends

Date: 6/3/2018

I’m at a party, and HL is there. I’m not sure he came with me. I don’t think so, because I’m surprised he’s there. He’s happily chatting with people. I sit to the right of him. I feel a warmth practically rolling off of him. I cannot explain, but it’s not like what I think most feel when interacting with others. It’s familiarity, it’s intimacy. I feel that in this dream we are a couple. He is happy that I’m there, sitting next to him. There are no more seats, but someone else wants to sit down. I consider getting up so they can sit down, but HL pats his leg to indicate that I should sit in his lap. No one is surprised by his Actions. Just me, and it’s like I shouldn’t be. He is so happy and pleasant, still deep in conversation with the people to his left. He doesn’t stop talking, but reaches over to pull me onto his lap. I’m sitting there sideways. At that moment he looks up into my eyes, and I into his, and he kisses me briefly before continuing his conversation. Just before that, he says, “I love you, and I’m happy you are here in my lap” and gives me a look that tells me he means it. I’m utterly shocked. He pulls me in closer and whispers in my ear that usually people say it back. He’s not mad, annoyed, or anything. He’s just happy. He knows that I feel the same. He tells me it’s okay, that he knows I can’t say it (whispering in my ear), but he tells me that he knows I do, even if I don’t say it. I hug him, and he hugs me back. It feels so nice and safe in that embrace. I rest my chin on his right shoulder and whisper into his ear “I do love you. I love you so very much. I’m sorry I never said it before” he kisses me again, and the other party goers cheer. I know it won’t be long before we go off to the bedroom and make love. It’s a certainty. Everyone there knows it too, even if nothing has been said about it. I rest my head on his shoulder again while he talks to the others.
