Bluebonnet Love

Chapter 40

Bryn
I woke up the next morning with the sunlight streaming through the windows warming my face. I felt two strong arms holding me against a warm body and a smile makes it's way onto my face. One arm around my waist while the other is under my head, inhaling deeply I take in the musky scent that's Gavin, that keeps me calm. Our legs were entangled together and there was no way I could get up without waking him up, wanting to make us breakfast I had to figure out a way to escape his hold. I slowly tried to turn around and slide out but the arm that was Nader my head now was holding my face. I let out a giggle when I licked his hand and his face scrunched up in distaste. Letting out a groan he peeped one eye open at me "Good morning, angel. What are you doing?" His voice sounding husky still full of sleep had my insides melting. "I wanted to make us breakfast but you were squishing my face" I said with a small laugh. "Sorry, baby" he says as he unravels from me and heads to the bathroom, I get dressed and head downstairs to start breakfast. As I'm stirring the eggs in the pot I feel a pair of arms slither around my waist and a pair of warm lips kiss my cheek, "Mmh, smells good baby" he says as he makes his way to the coffee maker to our himself a cup of coffee. "So, what did you want to do today, love?" He asks me as I slide a plate of eggs, bacon and toast in front of him. Sitting across from him, I start thinking of the things we could do. "Oh, is there any carriage rides or winter activities around here?" I ask him. "I think there is a winter festival at the convention center this week, we could check it out if you wanted to" eagerly nodding my head I scarf down the rest of my food as I stumble to clean up my mess before I make my way back up stairs, hearing him chuckle at my behavior behind me.

Walking around the center there are many homemade items for sale from local vendors, sort of like the Bluebonnet Festival, when we met. "What does this remind you of?" He whispers in my ear, with a shudder I quietly answer him back "When we first me." I found a little nutcracker for my collection I just had to have, after paying for it I go to find Gavin at another vendor. I see he's looking at the homemade quilts and he is expanding into the man what he wants, I can see from my spot before I reach him, that he is showing him pictures of us together. Thinking he might be making a present I decided to stand in my spot in the vendor over and wait for him. After about 30 minutes he turns around and sees me, giving me a sheepish smile I reach my hand out for him to take, grabbing my hand he pulls me to his side. "Sorry, baby I got side tracked" he says "No, worries. I was looking around while I waited" glancing down at me with a smile, we headed to the food trucks outside for lunch. Glancing up at him while we waited in line, I notice how the light sharpens his features, the slight stubble on his jawline, the tops of his cheeks slightly flushed pink from the cool air.  His eye which I love so much shone brightly in the sunshine like I was lost in the deep ocean that only he can lure me to. After lunch we did some more shopping before stopping for dinner at a local diner. Finally making it back to his house he headed upstairs while I stayed down to talk with Lee, to make sure we were still set for next week.

Wednesday came faster than I anticipated and to say my nerves were high was an understatement. I was fidgety all day and Gavin kept asking if I was alright and I could do nothing but reassure him I was, even though deep down I was nervous about tonight. Around 6 Lee and Rebecca left for the store, giving me an hour to get dressed and cook before Gavin was to arrive from work. Choosing the red lace set to wear tonight under my black fitted dress, I admired my body in the lingerie, the bra had a slight push up to it pressing my breasts together with a small diamond teardrop in the middle, the thong was just a thin piece of fabric barely covering my lady parts, I glanced over my form before I slid the dress over it. Glancing at the clock I had 20 minutes before he was to arrive, walking into the kitchen right as the timer went off I took the pasta casserole out of the oven, sliding in the garlic toast. Getting the ingredients for the crème brûlée, I started it while waiting for the bread to cook. Hearing the front door unlock my stomach dropped as I heard footsteps make their way towards me. Ignoring him, I replaced the bread for the dessert and tried to calm my nerves and reddening cheeks before I turned around to face him.
