Our Safeguard

Chapter 57

Chapter 57

~Nolan~

       I picked up a package of graham crackers off the shelf and showed it to Jerome. "I just had the most genius idea," I said.

       Jerome looked at the graham crackers package and stared at it for a bit before he said, "Why do I feel like your idea is actual something sexual? I just can't tell with you anymore."

       I gently smacked my husband with the package of graham crackers as I glared at him. "It is not. I don't say stuff like that in public."

       Jerome snorted as if he didn't believe me. "Okay." I mean, he wasn't wrong not to believe me since I did ask him for sex sometimes when we were in a public setting. I just made sure I say it quiet enough for only the two of us to hear.

       Jerome, on the other hand, didn't really care if anyone else was nearby to hear it.

       "I was going to say that we should have s'mores on the road trip," I said. "You said you also booked a campsite, right? We could have s'mores there."

       "Oh, that makes a lot more sense than what I was thinking," Jerome said. "Yeah, we can do that."

       I put the package in the grocery cart as we continued to walk down the aisle. "What were you thinking?" Before Jerome could answer, I continued. "Wait, never mind. I'm not sure if I want to hear it."

       Jerome just winked at me before he picked up a bag of marshmallows now that I suggested we make s'mores as part of our road trip, something I was both excited for. The road trip and the s'mores, that is, but more of the road trip. Jerome and I definitely needed some time for ourselves, and the road trip was the perfect way to do it. 

       And I wasn't just saying it because it gave us a lot of alone time. A lot.

       Jerome and I continued through the grocery store, grabbing food and drinks we would take with us on our road trip. We were going to be leaving tomorrow, and honestly it was the best for us to buy our stuff the day before we leave because I would just be tempted to snack on everything before we leave.

       Which was also why Jerome let me get a few snacks to eat today before we left because you could not just let me go to a grocery store and not expect me to buy food to eat right away.

       We made sure we also bought food and treats for Daisy as well since she was going to be coming with us. I hoped she had a fun time on the road trip as well.

       Once we were certain we had everything we needed, we went to the checkout before bringing all the snacks to Jerome's car. And, of course, because I was still very in love with Jerome and very attracted to him, I just had to start kissing him the moment that we were both in the car.

       Jerome kissed me back a bit before pulling away. "As much as I love kissing you, we should get home."

       "We can kiss at home then?"

       "Sure. Why not?"

       That was good enough for me.

       Once we got home, we brought all of our food and drinks to our bedroom. That was where I normally kept my snacks since my family was a bunch of moochers and would eat anything in the kitchen.

       Me included. Oops.

       We put all of the food and drinks in two cooler bags before I pulled Jerome over to our bed and started kissing him. He started kissing me back, so I decided try to take things further and started lifting up his shirt.

       That was when he pulled away. "Nolan. You know I love you and I would absolutely love to go further, but your family is home."

       I sighed and laid down on the bed. "They're always home. They should get out of the house more. Maybe I should buy them a bunch of tokens for an arcade and get them out of the house for a few hours."

       "That's some thinking," Jerome said. "Or we could wait until the road trip. We'll have plenty of time to be alone then."

       I smiled at Jerome, not that the thought of the two of us having some alone time, but because it was just something I was excited for. I wanted to get out of the house a lot more, but there wasn't much I felt like I could do apart from going to my and Jerome's studio. This was a great opportunity to spend time outside of my house, maybe see a bit more of this province that I hadn't seen yet.

       And it also gave me the opportunity to not be around my family when I wanted to spend some alone time with Jerome.

       I hadn't started packing yet, so I decided to do that right now since Jerome didn't want to have sex with me right now. Well, I was sure he wanted to but like always, my family was home. 

       Jerome hadn't started packing as well so once he saw I was doing it, he decided to as well. I only packed a few things before deciding to lie on the bed. "I'm tired," I said. "I'm going to nap."

       "You barely did anything."

       "But I'm always tired."

       "What if we make out when we're both done packing?"

       I hopped off of the bed and got back to putting the stuff I wanted to bring into my suitcase. "You know, I'm suddenly not tired anymore."

       Jerome just chuckled. "Of course you're not."

       It didn't take long for me to finish packing and when I did, I laid back down on the bed and held my arms out towards Jerome. "I changed my mind. I don't wanna make out. I just wanna cuddle with you. I'm in a cuddly mood."

       Jerome smiled and finished putting in one last hoodie before he zipped up his suitcase. He climbed onto the bed and pulled me into his arms. "You know, I love you so much, Nolan."

       "I love you too."
