Surrera Advent Calendar 2022

Day 13

Today's story is written by Irene @softxsurrera. Smut warning for the ending. Hope you all enjoy!

Piercing through the eerie quietness of the night was the sound of Andy's alarm, set to the first salsa song she danced to with Robert at the start of their relationship. Andy quickly turned off her phone smiling at the date on her calendar. Quickly checking that all their reservations were in order she couldn't help the excitement bubbling inside her. After months of planning it was finally time to put her plans into action. Now she just had to get Robert up so they could get their day going.

Robert would be up in an instant at the sound of the klaxon but at home he slept like a log. It was nice on mornings when she had to leave early as she never worried about accidentally waking him up but it wasn't ideal on days like today. She started slowly, rubbing her hand up and down his arm while whispering in his ear that it was time to get up. When that didn't work she smirked, knowing exactly what always did the trick.

Pulling down the comforter she began peppering his naked chest with soft kisses, moving her way up to his neck. However, before she could reach his face, Robert opened his eyes and pulled her up the rest of the way, deepening the kiss. When they broke apart Robert donned a slight smirk, his charcoal black eyes shimmering with a combination of mirth and confusion.

"Not that I don't like what you're doing, because I really do, but you do know it's the middle of the night, right?" Robert queried with a chuckle.

"I know, but I needed to get you up quickly. Not my fault sex is the only thing that seems to wake you up from the dead." Andy made her way out of the bed, flicking on the bedroom light.

"What can I say, I'm a simple man with simple needs." Andy rolled her eyes at Robert and moved to start making her side of the bed. Peeking a look at his bedside clock, Robert took notice that it was only just approaching 3 in the morning, much too early for either of them to be up for their next shift.

"Andy, what's going on?" Robert asked, an edge of anxiousness creeping into his voice.

"Just relax, you worry too much you know." Robert couldn't help it. He was a perennial worrier, especially when it came to Andy. After what happened with Jeremy he always wanted to be sure she was safe. Since getting back together he made sure to check in with her every few hours either via text or a quick phone call if they worked separate shifts. After spending so much time apart he never wanted her to feel like she didn't have him in her corner.

"I've planned a short trip for us," Andy continued as she moved around the room in a hurry, placing things on her nightstand into her purse. "If you don't get up now we'll never make it to the airport on time."

Now Robert was even more confused. They were both on shift tomorrow and Christmas Day. When they received their schedules for December, Robert had been disheartened to see that they would be working the entire Christmas holiday. As it was their first Christmas together since agreeing to start dating again he had wanted to spend it doing something fun but he took his duty as a firefighter very seriously. People still needed help on the holidays so he resigned himself to the shifts, the only consolation being that he would still get to spend the holiday with Andy, even if it was at the station instead of in the warmth of their home.

"Oh that! Don't worry about it. I talked to the chief and got people to cover our shifts for the next five days."

Not waiting to see his reaction Andy dashed out the room, returning a few moments later with two packed suitcases and their passports in hand. "Once you get dressed, pack your backpack. The car to take us to the airport will be here in 20 minutes and we are not going to be late for the driver."
