Sorry for such a short update

"Should I?" Stevie wondered aloud, staring at the phone screen, she then lifted her eyes up.
                          
"I can't tell you if you should or shouldn't." Lindsey shook his head, fighting against dropping down to his knees and begging her to stay.
                          
"If I let it ring, you know, what's going to happen..." She trailed off, the phone was still vibrating in her hand, showcasing Mick's persistence. 
                          
"It could end up a disaster."
                          
"A huge mistake." Stevie nodded in agreement. 
                          
"A horrible-" Lindsey realized the ringing stopped, anxiously awaiting to see what she does next. 
                          
Without breaking their eye contact, Stevie dropped her phone back into her purse and took Lindsey's hand, letting him know, she had made up her mind. 
                          
"I just want to make something clear, Steph. I want you to stay not because I expect that something is gonna happen between us. I want you to stay, because I've missed you so much." He emphasized, hand on his heart.
                          
"I know, I understand." She gave a nod of her head and tugged at his hand, taking a step towards the house.
                          
There was no question that they were headed upstairs and to the bedroom, despite what they had just agreed on. Lindsey stopped to turn off the lights in the living room, while Stevie kept repeating to herself what she was doing wasn't completely wrong.
                          
"This is nice." Stevie said, looking around the bedroom. "You haven't managed to mess it up too badly yet." She looked over at Lindsey, who was ready to hear a story from the time, when they were a couple and she had to do absolutely everything for him. 
                          
"Which side do you prefer? Left?" He added.
                          
"Still." She smiled, nodding her head. 
                          
They began undressing in silence, both allowing their eyes to carefully wander, so the other didn't notice. Stevie was almost mad at how fit Lindsey still was. Then again, he didn't have two babies. Not a stretch mark in sight, no excess skin, no extra bit of weight... She suddenly became self-conscious. 
                          
Down to his boxers, Lindsey looked at Stevie, who was trying her best to hide her body. "What's the matter?"
                          
"I don't know, what made me think, I could do this." She sighed, reaching for her blouse to cover up. 
                          
"Hey..." He rushed towards her to stop her. "Listen to me and hear me, you are beautiful. You are as breathtaking as the day I first saw you. If you want to cover up for yourself, please, do, but if you want to do that, because you're afraid I no longer find you smokin' hot, I suggest, you get everything off." 
                          
A small chuckle escaped her, she bit into her bottom lip and lifted her eyes up to meet his. "You've always seen me differently compared to how I see myself." A sincere smile crossed her lips as she placed her hands on his shoulders, his circled her waist.
                          
"Because you keep looking for flaws." Lindsey shrugged. "There aren't any."
                          
His words made her emotional. Before he saw the tears in her eyes, she pressed herself close to his chest and he held her tightly, turning his head slightly to press a kiss to her hair.
                          
"Time for bed?" Lindsey asked, pulling back just enough to lock their eyes.
