You entered your shared apartment after a long day at work only to be welcomed by an empty and dark surroundings. With a sigh, you put down your bag on the table and let your body fall on the couch. You have been in a relationship with Gavin for quite some time now. It's not that he always leave you alone. He spends every spare time he gets with you but it seems that none of it was enough. You miss him. His smile, his warmth especially those tender amber eyes that always shine when looking back at you. He loves you but he also loves his work. He is a man of justice after all so you try your best to support him any way you could.
As you were busy flipping through the channels to entertain yourself, your phone lit up with a short beep. Gavin sent you a message saying he just finished his mission and is on his way home. Upon reading his text, your mood instantly lifted. Your lip can't help but curve so wide it could rip. You are beaming with happiness. Just as you are about to get up, a light bulb appear above your head. Turning off all the lights, you tip toed your way to the bedroom and hide your small self inside the closet.
You were too caught up with the excitement of surprising him that you didn't hear the front door opens and Gavin entering the apartment. Wondering where you are, the man dialed your number. You jolt from the sudden ring, the vibration making you squirm as you fish out your phone. The moment you saw the called ID, your eyes widen and shut the phone in panic.
After you calm your panicked self, you slightly open the closet to sneak a peek at your man. The moment you look up from the door you are welcomed by a pair of amber eyes staring at you in confusion. You shriek and move back bumping your head in the process. Little did you know, as you were panicking on his call, he heard your phone and followed the sound putting you in your current situation.
“Are you okay? What are you doing in the closet?”
Gavin caress your head gently, worry dance in his eyes. Thinking of the situation you burst out laughing making him even more confused.
“Gavin!”
You shouted before launching yourself at him. He catches you, arms holding you tightly. Seeing you so happy he can't help but smile, his chest filled with warmth. You still keep on laughing at your failed plan as he put you down.
“Will you tell me now what are doing in the closet?”
He ask you again after seeing you have calmed down. Swallowing your last laugh, you said
“I was planning to surprise you by hiding but then my plan backfired when I saw you looking at me when you're suppose to be in the living room!”
This time you pout at your failed attempt. Gavin can't help but chuckle at your cuteness.
“If you really want to catch me by surprise, make sure you put your phone on silent mode.”
He smiles from ear to ear as he hugs you walking you both to the bed with you still in his arms. Noticing your pout has yet to disappear he thought of an idea.
“Why don't you let me make it up to you? Hmm?”
You look at him confused.
“How?”
Your brows furrowing even more as his smile got wider. He said nothing but instead pepper you with kisses all over your face making you laugh. He stop and look at you tenderly.
“How was that for a compensation?”
He asks you. Pretending to think for a moment you said.
“Fair enough”
Then you both laugh.
The rest of the night was spend with you both catching up with one another. The whole room is filled with laughter once again as your man is finally home. You have no idea why you keep laughing or what did you talk about that made you laugh. Maybe because of your epic fail plan or maybe because of you bumping your head. Maybe both. Whatever it may be, you only know one thing. You can only be this happy if your with him.
