One night, for a life time {Complete}

Chapter 28 : The blindfold

"Hey Hanson" I said, sleepily but sweetly, briefly resting my head against his bare shoulder. "Hey, happy birthday princess" He said, stopping what he was doing and hugging me tight. "Thanks, and princess ? it's the first time you call me like that" I said with a chuckle. "You don't like it? I can stop calling you that" he asked teasingly. "Oh no don't, I'm not against nicknames" I laughed.

"I got your favourite for breakfast, pancakes, blueberry and caramel macchiato" He said with a proud smile. "Really ?" I asked, with stars in my eyes. He nodded and took me by the hand, pulling the chair for me to sit down. "Thanks Hanson" I said kindly. He gently grabbed my cheeks and pecked my lips. "You're welcome" he said charmingly and sat in front of me. After eating I went to take a shower, got dressed. I walked back to the bathroom and applied makeup. "My god, you're so beautiful, I love you" He said sensually, kissing me from my shoulders, that were covered by a black shirt, to my jaw. "Thank you, I love you too, I know what you're trying to do but no, We don't want to run late again" I said with a giggle and passed by him.

"Happy birthday Kris!" the whole team chanted in unison as we entered the chapel. "Thank you so much guys" I said, as I felt my cheeks redden. We all sat at our desk and started working. Two piles of paperwork were almost hiding me so I focused to finish it before the end of the day. Harry went on a case with Judy not so long ago.

"You need help?" asked Booker, kindly, with a cute smile. "That's so kind of you Booker, but I am almost finished, thank you" I said looking up to him, giving back his smile. "Okay, you know where I sit, if you need" He said with a shrug. "All right thanks" I said kindly. I looked on the corner of my eyes to see Tom sending daggers with his eyes to Dennis. I rolled my eyes playfully and finished the last paper. I gave them to Fuller, and walked to Tom's office.

"Have you finished?" I asked softly. He looked at his watch and smiled, looking up to me "Yes, let's go" he said, getting up. He wrapped an arm around my waist and we walked down to his car.

"Come on let's change, Kris" said Tom, leading me to the bedroom. "Change, why for ? we're having dinner here tonight" I said, giggling. "Please Kris" he sighed. "Okay, okay, what do you want me to wear ?" I asked with a smile. "Uhm...Wait" he said, opening the closet and starting searching. "That dress should do it" he said with a wink, handing me a white dress with long sleeves, a beautiful v shaped neckline opened, going to the sternum and the skirt of the dress was pleated and stopped underneath the knees. I took it and put it on, then turned for Tom to zipped it on the back. "It's a new one right ? I never saw you in it" he stated as I felt him moving the zipper up my spine, giving me chills. "Yes I bought it last week" I said, turning to him with a smile. He nodded, "It's pretty, I like it" he said pleased. "Thank you, but I guess I have to add makeup, to match it" I said with a laugh.

Ten minutes later I applied just a thin line of black liner since I already had some light blue eyeshadow and red lipstick. I came back into our bedroom and saw Tom turning to me with a wide smile, his hands on his back. He changed his clothes as well. He wore a black buttoned up shirt with black jeans and his teal jacket. "Uhm you look good Mister Hanson" I said seductively, walking closer to him. "Thanks" he winked. I pecked his lips softly. "Close your eyes" he said, still keeping his wide smile. Caught in the moment, I did as he told, without asking any questions.

I felt him wrapping a soft fabric on my eyes, that he tied up on the back of my head, not too loose, not too tight. "Have you forgotten that I was nyctophobic?" I asked, taking a deep breath, to the sudden darkness around me. "No, but I am here, I won't get away, I promise" he said, taking my hand that I held tightly. "Come on let's go" he said gently leading me the way.

"One step and we'll almost be in the car" he said, helping me going down the stairs. He helped me get in the car and fastened my seatbelt. I heard him start the engine and felt the car moving. "Are you okay?" he asked, resting a hand on my lap. "Yeah" I said, reaching out for his hand. "We'll be arriving soon" he said, deposing a kiss on the top of my hand. "Okay" I said, still holding his hand.

"Is it a restaurant on the beach?" I asked, fooling around. "What? no, it's like an hour away, you won't find it anyway" he said with a giggle. "Try me, is it some place I know?" I asked, simply. "uh...No!...no you don't" he said hesitantly. "Why are you hesitating then?" I teased. "Why are you teasing? I was thinking if you knew the place" he said vexed, as I felt the car stop then rolling again. "Relax Hanson, joke out" I laughed. "How do you want me to relax when you're disturbing me with all your questions as I drive" he said then stopped the engine. "We arrived" he said with a sigh, still offenced. "Great, can I remove the blindfold?" I asked. "No" he said as I felt him helping me get up. He put an arm around my waist and with his other hand he took my left one.

"Just a few more steps and... stop" he said as we stopped walking. I felt him letting go of my hand and my waist. He rested his hands on shoulders instead. "Are you ready?" he asked softly, untying the blindfold but still covering my eyes with it. "Yes" I said with a smile. "One...Two...Three" he counted and removed the piece of fabric from my eyes.
