The Importance of Love (Lesbian Stories)

Chapter 2: home sweet home

After a long drive back home and a stop for gas, we arrived home with no energy to spare. I let Karen get comfortable and take a warm bath while i unpacked her things and got her clothes ready for when she gets out. I quickly ran downstairs and got dinner started, of course my fiancés favorites.

I looked in the sink and saw all of the dirty pans just sitting there, waiting for someone to wash them. It gets so lonely when Karen's not here that I completely forget what I need to do! This was her job, anyway. Washing wasn't my thing.

I decided to do the dishes anyway, since I knew I'd get a lecture if she stepped into the kitchen and saw that it wasn't as spotless as she last left it.

"Im almost done babe! Do me a favor and bring me a towel!"

Quickly, I did what I was told. "Anything else baby? Im getting started on dinner is there anything in specific you feel like eating?"

"Oooh yeah! I wantttt, steak on the grill just how you make it!"

"Okay princess coming right up!" I kissed her forehead, still warm from the steam in the bathroom, then ran back to the kitchen and began dinner.

Moments later, dinner was served and we sat in our high-seat table for two, which i preferred much more than the 6-seat dining table we almost never touch. "So we still need to discuss some things about the wedding. It's in 9 months but time flies and we need to get ourselves organized!"

"I know," she said, "I think all we really need is our dresses, the cake and venue. All the bridesmaids took care of the decorations and music and food and everything!"

"Right, so, when exactly will we get started on the dresses and cake and venue? That's the same three things we've been missing for the past four months. We need to be done soon Karen the big day is closer than you think!"

She took a sip of her water then cleared her throat. "This week babe, I promise! I'll get Elena to find us a nice bridal shop and we'll get started on the dresses right away."

"So this weekend we'll go dress shopping? This will be my favorite part you're gonna look so beautiful!" I couldn't help but smile at the thought of Karen, MY fiancé, in a beautiful white wedding dress.

"Uh-uh! You're not allowed to see me in the dress, remember? And im not allowed to see you in yours? It's like, a rule Lorena you can't just bend the wedding rules like that. You want us to last, right?"

"Yes ma'am," she sounded so cute when she was demanding.

"Then stick to the traditions! We'll have to go get our dresses on different days and just simply wait until the wedding day. But I bet you'll look beautiful as well!" She had a big smile that really made her dimples and long eyelashes stand out. My oh my!

I kept my mouth shut, giving her a smirk. She laughed and said "exactly you know im right."

"Yeah yeah just do your wifely duty and do the dishes. I'll even be kind enough to put them in the sink for you. Is that enough for the royal princess?" We both laughed while clearing the table, then she began doing the dishes while I stood behind her with my head on her shoulder.

"I really hate when you're gone babe. Im surrounded by new students everyday since they have me as an assistant, but everywhere I go just feels so empty without you!" I hugged her and kissed her cheek, then she turned around and kissed me back.

"Don't worry baby this will be over soon! My contract ends in a short 6 months, then I'll get promoted and be able to work on my own schedule, it'll work out perfectly! I won't be gone as long, and I'll be able to work locally too! Can you wait just 6 more months babe? Pretty pleaseee?"

Her big brown puppy eyes were just so irresistible it was impossible to say no to them! "Of course my love anything for you! BUT...." I paused and gave her a few more kisses. "If I do that for you, then you'll have to do something for me..."

She smiled and let a small laugh out, then quickly tried hiding it. "Well, I have "wifely duties" to do. Maybe another time!" Then she laughed again.

"Well I'LL be waiting in bed, I'll still be waiting when you're finished, and I'll still be waiting tomorrow. So try coming as soon as possible!" i kissed her again then ran upstairs and Karen quickly followed.
