Love At First Sight Part Two

Chapter 228 - December 31

"Can I help you?", I ask Gabi and Gry as I enter the kitchen. Erl's mother turns to me, smiling happily and then says: "Yeah, that would be so kind. Could you maybe make the mashed potatoes?" I agree and then get the potatoes and peel them whilst talking to Gabi. "Jan and I have found some really beautiful houses online and will look at them in the next few weeks.", she says with a happy glance in her eyes. "Really? That's amazing!", I exclaim. "Where are the houses?", I then add. "They are here in Bryne and in Stavanger and Tananger. Most of them in Bryne. We really like it here.", she explains. I nod and then aks: "Do you have any favourite so far?" She puts the vegetables she's been cutting into some pots and  answers: "Yeah, there's one in Tananger. It's quite modern and has big windows and the view over the harbour and the city on the one side and the ocean on the other side is gorgeous. Also the garden is really nice and I love the bathrooms and the room layout. Like... We would have our bedroom with an own, very light bathroom, a guest room, two offices where we could put sofas so they can be transferred to guest rooms as well, a big living room, another rather big and one rather small bathroom and two child bedrooms. And a cellar and an attic. It's really wonderful and I really hope we can get this house, it'd be a dream come true. There ain't no place I'd rather raise our children. And the garden is so perfect... Like... The neighbours and the people in the street can't look into it because of the hedges and trees but the view of the ocean and the City isn't completely covored. And its safe for children. It's just so perfect." I listen closely, it's really interesting and the house just seems to be wonderful. "That sounds so amazing! And I really hope you'll get the house. I might be your guest constantly then. And one day out children might play there together, that'd be so cute.", I say whilst mashing the potatoes. Gabi shows me a gorgeous smile and agrees that that would be wonderful. Then we concentrate on cooking again and just sing along to some songs.
As we're done cooking I leave for Erl's childhood bedroom where he's lying in the bed, only wearing his boxers. I close the door and lean against it, enjoying the view of my half naked boyfriend. "Will you just look or come here and cuddle for a moment?", he asks with a cute smile on his face and of course I go for the second possibility. I lie down next to him and put my head on his muscular chest. Erl wraps his arms around me and puts his hands under my hoodie, brushing up and down my spine with his fingers. I enjoy the touch but as suddenly something wet touches my back I squeak. It's Luna who tries to get her nose between Erl's hands and my back. Erl taps on the bed a few times and Luna gets it immediately and jumps on the bed, lying down on top of us. We fully enjoy the time together. We are a real family right now. The only thing missing is Madita but when we're back in Dortmund we will visit her grave.
Unfortunately we can't stay like this too long because we still gotta get ready for the new year's eve party. We take a shower together which we spend kissing and touching non-sexually, it's just pure intimacy.
As we're done showering we both get dressed. Erl dresses up classically with black pants, a sark and a tie. I first put on red underwear and then a black dress with a cute cut out at the back and a rather deep neckline. It's a little sexy but not too much and I just love it. Erl helps me curls my hair, then I put on some glittery make up whilst Erl attaches a bow to Luna's collar. It's golden and glittery and she looks really cute with it. As we're content with the way we three look we leave the room and go downstairs where the others are sitting at the table already. Everyone has dressed up nicely but for me Jadon and Jude and Gabi look best. Erl's sister is wearing a light blue glittery dress which suits her so very well and since she found out about her pregnancy she's really been glowing and it's there today as well, especially in her eyes. Jadon and Jude are wearing the same suit but in different colours. Jadon's suit is dark red and made from some very shiny material, jude wears the same one in a dark purple which suits him incredibly well. Both of them look fantastic. Norah and Sofie seem to think the same, they stare at the two Englishmen with big, shiny eyes and smile bright. But what I appreciate mist about everything: everybody is happy to be here. E&E, J&J, Erl and I, Erl's parents, his siblings and their partners, everyone. We're all happy and I really love that. But we're not only happy, we're also hungry and so we're very happy as we start eating. Gry and Gabi made Pinnekjøtt , a typical Norwegian dish. It's made from lamb and as side dishes we have the veggies and the mashed potatoes Gabi and I made. It tastes really good and we all have loads of fun whilst eating and talking.
