Chapter 4: Internship

Mia and I continued making out until the stove timer beeped. When she pulled back, her eyes remained closed, and she was smiling. Damn, my girl looks so beautifully peaceful like this. Tenderly, I caressed her cheek with my thumb, and she instinctively leaned into my hand. Her gorgeous deep brown eyes opened, gazing at mine, filled with so much love.

"You distracted me," She jested, and I laughed before replying.

"I would never do such a thing... at least, not on purpose," I teased back, and winked, which caused Mia to shake her head at me.

"Go shower, or I'll have no choice but to put you on probation." She challenged with a smirk, and I raised my hands, surrendering to her. There's no way in hell she will put me on probation again... I despise not being able to touch, hold, or kiss her for an hour; such things in my book are deemed blasphemous! I know, I'm whipped... and I can proudly admit how happily whipped I am and will forever be to that amazing woman of mine.

"Yes, ma'am," I saluted playfully, giving her one last chaste kiss.

As I turned around to walk to our bedroom, Mia slapped my ass. I slowly faced her again with a shocked, dramatic expression plastered on my face, which made her giggle ever so sweetly. Any noise she makes is music to my ears, and I never knew how much I needed such a noise in my life. I recommenced with my mission and walked down the hallway that led to our bedroom. I made sure to sway my hips, knowing that she was watching me.

When I entered the room, I immediately noticed that Mia had already laid out my pajamas for the evening. While smiling, I strolled into the restroom, turning on the shower to get it warmed up. Then, I removed all of my clothing, tossed them into the hamper, and got into the shower mere moments later.

Roughly thirty minutes had passed when I finally finished my shower. I stepped out onto the floor mat and began to dry myself off thoroughly. Once my body was dried, I put my pajamas on and started brushing my damp hair. Then, I casually made my way into the living room, noticing that the dining room table was set up beautifully. I grinned, looking over the display of tasty-looking foods in front of me. Both plates on the table were filled with Kibbeh, veggies, and a side of hummus. The chilled gallon of sweet tea sat in the center of the table, and there were two empty glasses filled with ice beside it.

"You know you can sit down and start eating, right? You don't have to wait for me to say so, silly." Mia joked as she sat down in the seat across from where I stood, and I followed suit and blushed at her words.

"I know, honey. Honestly, I was just in awe at all you did tonight; you're so amazing..." I started saying, watching the way she smiled at me, so I continued my thought. "The food looks absolutely delicious, and I can't wait to dig in." I finished, and my girl nodded as we both began to eat. If this is how my life is now with Mia, I know for a fact that I am content... just as long as she always loves me like she does.

"So, baby... besides your unfortunate encounter with the rich-bitch teacher during lunch, which Brittany has told me all about in great length already, haha... How was your first day as a guidance counselor? Tell me everything!" Mia stated excitedly, and I chuckled at how cute her eagerness was.

"Well, as you know, when I arrived, I texted you before I actually walked into the building," I answered, and she swallowed her bite before speaking up as I took another bite myself.

"Mhmm, and how did that feel? Familiar? Different?" She inquired, and I thought back to how I felt and knew my response.

"It was very nostalgic, and I kept getting a sense of deja vu, like remembering all that took place, both the good and the bad," I replied, and she hummed in response as she took another bite of her food. I happened to glance at her plate and realized that she was already halfway done with it. My girl always loves to eat and eat heartily, and it makes me smile contently.
