Battles In Life

"would you like to stay for dinner?" I couldn't wipe the smile off of my face "I'd love too" dana nodded.
It's a step she didn't kick me out. And I guess by her letting me stay for dinner it's a sign she'll give me a chance.
"I'm going to prepare dinner" "can I give you a hand?" "No you look like you need rest and I like to cook" I nodded "okay dana" taking a seat at the dining table my phone rang. I looked at the screen to see alexander calling. No I am not answering that, not right now. Turning my phone off, I put it back in my pocket. I don't want anyone bothering us, I just want to speak with dana and only her right now. I want to fix this between us and this is the only way I know how. I did what he asked and look where it got me back to square one with the only woman I want.
"Do you need anything Lochie?" "No I'm fine thank you" dana nodded.

As dana served up dinner she brought the plates over to the table and sat down.
"This looks great" "thanks" "I'm sure I will enjoy it".
It was only steak, and veg but it was delicious. Everything she makes tastes good.

"Have you got anything planned for the weekend?" "No I will be resting, corey has been harder which I appreciate I just need to adjust" "are you going to continue to do it?" "Yes it helps me mentally and physically although my body is a little sore but I know it's worth it" "you are sore?" "Nothing I can't deal with I will go for a spa the jets always help" I nodded.
"Are you working tomorrow?" "Yes I will be, only half a day" "that's good it'll keep you busy. Hopefully you can get some rest tonight" "I'll try, have you been sleeping okay?" "Hmm last night was the first night I have put myself to bed, I got a few hours" "you haven't been sleeping?" "Umm not voluntarily". I put my hands through my hair in frustration "dana I'm.." "I know, you don't need to finish that" "no I do, it kills me knowing I put you through that to appease alexander destroying what we had, making you worry, stress and have more panic attacks I didn't want any of that I wanted to.." "Lochie just stop please I will handle it, I don't know how when the magazine hits the shelves but I will deal with it" "dana it's not something you probably want to hear but they will be getting distributed tomorrow" dana nodded "I knew it would be soon".
"Do you want to see the magazine before it hits the shelves?" "No I don't, I was a part of it that's enough for me" "I have seen it and you look absolutely beautiful those big bright green eyes of yours stand out over any of those outfits, it doesnt matter the cost of any of those items nor what they look like they don't do you justice" "thank you Lochie" "I'm just saying the truth". Getting up from my seat, I walked around the table to dana grabbing her hand "can you stand up?" Dana nodded.
As she stood up, I wrapped my arms around her bring her close to me. "I have been wanting to hold you, I have missed you" dana put her arms around my waist as her head rested against my chest "I have missed you lochie" holding her tight I closed my eyes and took in the feeling of having her in my arms again, her sweet strawberry perfume and her coconut shampoo invading my nose. she's everything I ever wanted. I know it's going to take some time to get back to the way we were but right now I just want to enjoy this.

"I should clean up" "i will do it, you need to relax and I think the best way is for you to have a spa" "Lochie I can do it" "no come on" I dropped my arms and grabbed her hand "you want me to go for a spa now?" "Yes I will clean up while you rest" "no you are my guest" "please just let me do this for you" dana nodded "okay".
Walking to her bathroom I asked dana to sit as I ran her a spa. "You don't have to do this Lochie" "I want to, I want you to relax" "and what about you?, You haven't been sleeping" "no I haven't but you are what I worry about" "you need to look after yourself too" "if I know your okay, I will be fine" dana only stayed silent as the spa filled up.
"There you go, I hope its perfect for you" "thank you Lochie". I left dana to get undressed And enjoy her time in the spa while I cleaned everything up from dinner.
Dana always keeps her apartment spotless, I don't think I have ever seen her house a mess except when she was moving but that's understandable.

"Lochie" I walked back into the bathroom dana was sitting in a mount of bubbles looking absolutely stunning resting her head against the edge of the bath with her eyes closed. "Is everything okay?, do you need anything?" "Would you like to join me?" "Dana I don't want you to feel uncomfortable" she shook her head "that didn't answer my question" "I'd like that" dana gave me a small smile "if you want to you can" I nodded not that she could see "okay I will do that".
Taking my clothes off i slowly got into the spa with dana. "Are you comfortable?" "No" dana moved in between my legs resting her back against my chest "now Im comfortable" I grinned "have you cleaned yourself yet?" "No not yet, I have been relaxing" grabbing danas body sponge off the edge of the spa I put a little of her body wash on it. Starting at her neck taking my time I covered the entire top half of her body. "Thank you Lochie" "you don't need to thank me, I am happy to do it" "it felt nice" "I'm glad". Wrapping my arms around dana I was in paradise having the woman I love in my arms just relaxing with her in the spa. I didn't think she'd forgive me for what I did let alone let me be in here with her. "Are you relaxed or would you like me to move?" "No I don't want you to move I want you in my arms" dana moved her head looking up at me pressing a kiss to my jaw taking the opportunity I put my hand under her chin and pressed my lips to hers parting our tongues entwined and I wanted nothing more than to continue. I have missed this, I have missed her. this is the first time we have ever shared a spa together but I really hope it's not the last.
Much to my disappointment dana pulled away from the kiss. "I need to finish washing myself and get out before I fall asleep" "that is a good idea".
After both of us got ourselves clean dana stood up getting out of the spa and I couldn't take my eyes off of her even when she wrapped the towel around her. "Are you staying in?" "No I will be out in a minute" dana nodded. Pulling the plug, I sat it on the edge and pulled myself out of the spa grabbing a towel putting around myself before grabbing my clothes and walking to the bedroom.
Dana was sitting on the edge of the bed in a navy blue tank top and her black silk boxers shorts moisturising her legs. "Do you always moisturise?" "Yes I moisturise everyday it helps keep my skin soft, fights blemishes and it's relaxing" "that's good, I can see why your skin is always so soft" dana nodded as she continued to moisturize herself. Chucking on my trunks I sat behind dana "can I have a little of your moisturizer?" "Yeah" dana handed me the bottle. Pumping out a bit I handed it back before rubbing the moisturizer over the back of her neck then on her arms paying more attention to her shoulders I could feel she was tense in spots and I wanted to fix that. "Lochie you need to relax I am fine" "I can feel the knots in your neck and in-between your shoulders, I want to do it for you. Are you done with your legs?" "Yes I am" "can you lay down on your stomach?" "It's not necessary" "please dana" "okay".
Dana laid down and I lifted her shirt. running my hands up and down her back but paying more attention to the top half of her back and shoulder area. I was helping her but I was also able to still touch her. Feeling dana relax I stopped and moved beside her but keep my arm over her. "Thank you" "no thank you dana, for giving me the chance and not pushing me away" dana only nodded but she didn't need to say anything. "We should get some sleep" "that's a good idea" "I will be back in a minute" "okay".
After making sure the door was locked, I turned all the lights off and headed back to danas room turning the music on for her and climbed into bed putting my arm back over her "are you going to get under the covers?" "I don't want to move just yet" I smiled knowing she is relaxed.
After a few minutes dana lifted herself
Up and pulled the blanket over her. "Good night dana" "good night Lochie".
