The day of Ross's uncle's vow renewal, I woke up to bright sunlight behind the glass doors of the balcony. It took me a moment to remember where I was like it does every morning since moving into the cabin with Ross two weeks ago. I get up quickly and notice the fireplace was still lit from last night, but was dwindling down a little, making crawling out from under the cozy comforter much more pleasant. I take a shower and curl my hair before trying to wake Ross up. I pin my hair up so it's out of the way and apply my makeup before pulling Ross's hoodie over my head. I then put some thick socks on my feet. My stomach grumbles so I pad out of the room and down the stairs to the kitchen to make breakfast. I want to start the day in the best way I can so we can both remain happy and calm. I don't want anything to happen to ruin this day. By the time I finish I am pretty proud of the meal I have prepared for us. The counter is filled with bacon, eggs, toast, pancakes, and even hash browns. I am aware that I made way too much food for the two of us, but I don't care. Ross eats an enormous amount of food anyway so there shouldn't be too much left.

"Woah... what is all this?" He asks in a raspy, sleep filled voice.

He walks up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist.

"This is exactly why I wanted to live together." He says into my neck.

"Why? So, I could make you breakfast?" I ask with a laugh.

"No... well, yes. That and waking up to seeing you half dressed in the kitchen." He smirks and nips at my neck. He attempts to lift up the hem if the hoodie and squeezed the top of my thighs.

"Hands to yourself until after breakfast Ross." I scold him and wave a spatula in his face.

"Yes princess." He chuckles and grabs a plate. He then turns and starts piling it with food. After breakfast I force Ross to take a shower despite his efforts to drag me back to bed. The situation at the mall with those boys has seemed to be completely forgotten by now.

My breath is lost in my chest when Ross walks out of the bathroom wearing his outfit for the ceremony. He looks just as good as he did when he tried it on at the mall. The black dress pants are snug but hang off of his hips in the most delicious way. The white button up shirt is unbuttoned revealing his toned torso and the tie is hanging around his neck.

"I, uhh... I actually need help with this. It's been a while since I had to wear a tie so I kind of forgot how to do it." He holds up the ends of the tie.

"No problem, I can help you." I choke. My mouth is dry, and I can't stop from staring at him.

I am thankful that Ross doesn't ask where I learned to tie a tie from because any of my ex-boyfriend are the last thing I want to talk about today.

"You look so handsome." I tell him when I finish. He shrugs and puts the black jacket on, completing the look. His cheeks flame and I can't help but giggle. I can tell he feels a little uncomfortable in these clothes. It must have been a while that he's been to a fancy event like this.

"Why aren't you dressed?" He asks me.

"I was waiting until the last minute since my dress is white." I tell him and he mocks me playfully.

When I get the dress on it is a little short, but Ross seems to approve. His eyes nearly pop out of his head as I take off his hoodie and pull on the dress. He always makes me feels so beautiful and wanted.

"As long as all the men there are my uncle's age, we shouldn't have a problem." He smirks and zips up my dress. I roll my eyes and he kissed my bare shoulder before unclipping my hair, letting my long curls fall down my shoulders.
