My Best Mistake (UNDER EDITING)

Chapter 10 - Crow's POV

"You don't know how long I've wanted to do that," I say as our lips part.

"Wow," Nessa giggles breathlessly, "That was. . ."

"Amazing, wonderful, best kiss ever," I say with a smirk.

"Oh, shut up, but yes," she blushes.

I chuckle in response. She looks so beautiful. Her face is red and glowing. She has a bright sparkle in her eyes. She looks. . . happy. I'm glad I can make her feel that way.

"Uh, Crow, you're staring at me."

"What, am I not allowed to admire my beautiful girl?"

She blushes harder and buries her face in my chest. I chuckle at the action. I can't believe she's actually mine. I've waited years for this moment and I am completely over the moon.

"Um, I think I'm going to go get changed."

I look down into her beautiful gray eyes. It's then I remember she's naked under the robe she's wearing. My face instantly heats up. Shit, Crow, hold it together.

"Oh, right. Do your thing. I'll be right here."

"Another kiss before I go?"

"What's the magic word, Nessie?"

"Please?"

"Good girl."

I pull her in for another kiss. Her lips are so sweet and soft. I could kiss her forever. We pull apart and she leaves to get dressed. I can't help but do a happy dance and lose my cool when I hear the door close. Holy shit! She's finally mine.

Nessie comes out of her room in one of my flannels she stole a long time ago. God, she looks gorgeous in it. She paired it with black skinny jeans and her snow boots. I notice she put her hair in pigtail braids and has a beanie on. She looks adorable.

"Look at my pretty girl," I say as I pull her to me.

"Crow, stop," she says, blushing profusely.

"You'll have to get used to being bombarded with compliments, Nessie. I have to tell you how beautiful you are a trillion times a day so you never forget."

She hides her face in my chest. I can't tell if she's fighting off her little space or is just really that shy. I notice that the flannel she picked out is a little thin. She'll need at least another layer.

"Nessie, baby, do you have anything to keep your warm? That flannel is a little thin."

She looks up at me with a guilty smile.

"So, I might have also stolen one of your jean jackets."

"When did you even find the time to steal this stuff? Is there anything of mine you don't own," I chuckle.

"I can't help it. Your clothes are just so comfy."

"Well, you can steal whatever you want of mine, Nessie. I like seeing you in my clothes."

Nessie blushes again and gives me a kiss on the cheek. She grabs the jean jacket and I help her put it on. I put on my leather jacket and shoes.

"Can we go to the diner for breakfast, please," Nessie asks sweetly.

"Since you said 'please'," I joke, "Where else would we go."

Nessie giggles before grabbing my hand. We leave her apartment and go down the stairs to the parking lot. I open the door for her and she gets in. I buckle her seat belt and kiss her cheek. I see her feet do small happy kicks.

I go over to my side and start the car. I turn on the heat and let it warm up. I hold Nessie's hand as I drive. I don't think I've ever seen her blush and smile this much.

We arrive at the diner and sit at our usual table. The waitress takes our drink orders and lets us look over the menu. I see Nessie scan the menu like she won't just pick waffles again. She's adorable.

The waitress brings us our drinks and we order our food. She did pick waffles, but I don't mind. It means I get to cut them up for her like I usually do.

"What else would you like to do today, baby? I want to spoil you," I say then take a sip of my drink.

"You don't have to do that, Crow. I'd be happy to just stay at home and cuddle you."

"I know you would, but I want to treat my girl."

Her cheeks turn pink again.

"Um, well, we could go to the mall. There's some stuff I want to look at."

"Sure thing, princess. I'd love to go shopping with you."

The waitress brings over our food. Everything looks delicious. Before Nessie can even say a word, I start cutting up her waffle. She smiles at me as I do so. She does her yummy food dance as soon as she takes the first bite.

"You're adorable, you know that?"

"Well, you're handsome, did you know that," she giggles in response.

We finish eating our food and I pay after some protest. I told her I'm going to spoil her and I meant it. She deserves to be treated like the princess she is. We leave the diner and get into the car.

I drive as I hold her hand like I did earlier. We listen to some music on our way to the mall. I let her pick because she has better music taste than me, I will admit. Nessie hums along to the music with the most beautiful voice I've ever heard.

We arrive at the mall and park. I get out and open her door. She smiles before taking my hand. We enter the mall and I see her look around for whatever shops she's looking for.

"We can go anywhere you want, princess. There's no rush either."

"Well, I'm a little embarrassed about one store."

"If it's the lingerie store, you have nothing to be embarrassed about. I'll do my own shopping while you go in there. I respect you and your privacy, okay?"

"Okay," she sighs in relief.

"Is that where you want to go first, baby?"

"No, I was thinking we could go to Build-a-Bear first," she smiles, batting her eyelashes.

"Lead the way, princess," I chuckle.
