Forever Yours: How it all Began

Chapter 38

I'm so glad I was able to spend a few days with Corrine. I made sure that Sean was able to take LaShae out for dinner and a movie. I know having a little one prevents them from having a couple's time outside of the home.

Corrine opened all of her presents or should I say LaShae and Sean opened the presents while Corrine tried to eat the wrapping paper. I got so many pictures of her. She's so beautiful. Andre came over for a little while and we watched Corrine try to eat the paper of the gifts he had wrapped for her as well. He held her and played with her. I know she enjoyed the additional attention. 

Andre and I had a long conversation about our relationship. I told him that I was dating, which he didn't like hearing. I had to be honest with him. He said that he was ready for us, and he'd wait for me. I don't know when that will be, but I do know that my feelings for Dre still run deep.

After spending a few days with LaShae, I went back to my parent's house and celebrated Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with them. I cooked breakfast and served them in bed. I also made M&M cookies, pecan pie, and chocolate cake which is my dad's favorite dessert. I didn't want a traditional meal, so we decided to have a seafood boil. The food was amazing.

After opening our gifts, I made some hot cocoa and filled our canisters. My parents and I drove around to some neighborhoods nearby to look at the Christmas lights. I thoroughly enjoyed my week at home. My mom let me use one of her older suitcases because they bought me so much that I knew my bag would be overweight. I also packed a goodie box for Jaxon as well as his gifts from my parents.

Before takeoff, Jaxon texted me to let me know he'd be waiting at the airport for me. We plan to spend some time with his parents and sister so I could watch them open their gifts. Jaxon said he bought something for his sister's boyfriend because we weren't aware that he'd be spending the holidays with her nor did we know he was going to Disney with us. I'm glad that her boyfriend will be accompanying her since I'll be with Jaxon.

The flight from Dallas Fort Worth Airport is about an hour and a half, so I took a power nap so I wouldn't be so tired while spending time with Jaxon's family. It wasn't long before the plane had landed. Huntsville's airport is small, so it didn't take me long to claim my suitcases and head to the pick up area. 

As soon as I walked out of the door, Jaxon was running towards me. He grabbed me up, kissing me all over my face.

"Did someone really miss me while I was gone?"

"You know I missed you. Now kiss me back!" 

I laughed at his childish ways but did just as he asked. It felt so good to be back in his arms. He took my suitcases and put them in the back of his SUV and opened the passenger door so I could get in the vehicle. He closed the passenger door and walked around to get in on the driver's side. As soon as he closed the door, he pulled me towards him and kissed me so passionately.

"Dang baby I missed your lips on mine! Do we have to go to my parent's house now?"

"Jaxon we will have the rest of the day to catch up on what we've been missing. A few hours won't hurt, will it?"

We drove to Jaxon's parent's house hand in hand. For the next five weeks, I'm going to enjoy being with him. When we arrived at the Malzon's home, Jaxon's mom let us know that she had prepared dinner and dessert and wanted us to eat with the family.  I looked up at Jaxon as he was about to say he wasn't staying long, I interrupted and told Mrs. Malzon that we'd be happy to stay for dinner and dessert. Jaxon started stomping around like a little kid who couldn't get their way. I just shook my head and laughed at him.
