Save My Sparkle (Completed)

22. His Home

Looking at his home, it is so cozy and not just bare. There are decorations here and there that make it cozy not just the warmth the heat is causing in here and it is so very clean. It is not like he had to run around to pick up clothes or anything which I was not in a hurry to get out of my car but he helped me out.

Not to say I thought he would be messy or anything. I just figured at least seeing something a little out of place because everyone has their quirks. Like me right now if you went in my room I always have a shirt on the back of my chair. Not sure why but it is something I have always done in the morning I pick two shirts look in the mirror then throw the one I don't want on the chair that I hang back up in the afternoon.

"So I can put them in the closet here until you are ready to take them home with you." Nicolas explains and I look to see where he opens the door and it is pretty empty.

"Sounds great. Thank you."

"Of course. So where do you want to wrap? We could work on the table or on the floor in the living room."

"The floor is fine that way we don't scratch up that table." I smile.

It is a gorgeous table set too with its deep cherry color wood, high back chairs that are cushioned.

"It wouldn't hurt it at all. That is why there are things called table clothes should I want to have it looking nice but a couple scratches never hurt anything." He smiles and moves to set the gifts on the floor while I have the gift wrap and supplies for getting them wrapped up.

Nicolas holds a remote and there is light music that starts to play through the air. He plugs a few things in around his very large desk in the corner then lights pop on all around the living room, hall, and kitchen area. I can't help but awe at it all and giggle.

"I hope you don't mind?" Nicolas questions while he joins me on the floor where I hadn't even realized I done sank down sitting.

"Not in the slightest. I love this set up it is so cheery." I smile and look at him watching me.

"Thank you."

"There is one thing missing though that I would have swore you would have." I tease.

"What's that?" He tilts his head a with smirk.

"Okay two things. A Santa statue and a tree."

Nicolas laughs. "Those are at my parents house. A bare tree is not the fun part and I didn't feel like having empty boxes there so I am content with the tree at my parents house and will just transfer my gifts over there before we open them on Christmas day."

I nod. "Makes sense for sure. Now Sanata statue?"

"Nope and never even had one as a kid either." Nicolas shakes his head and my mouth drops open.

"What! How? I thought those were like iconic and we had one that went outside. Which you need a reef or something because the outside of your house is bare for a man who has loved his decorations and this holiday season."

"Once again all at my parents house and I spend more time inside so I rather be able to see it all." Nicolas chuckles. "Now my parents house is decorated inside and out, but we just never had a statue figure like that and I think it would creep Eve out too. For years she wouldn't even sit in Santa's lap because she couldn't see his face but our parents never pushed her too but she would stand a foot away from him and tell him what she wanted."

"That is good they never forced her to sit in his lap. One thing I can't stand is seeing a child forced and it should be praised they are being cautious with strangers and same type things."

Nicolas nods and smiles.

We get to wrapping and time passes by as laughter fills the air with the music. I learn he is a great singer and most definitely the best gift wrapper out of the two of us.

I finish my last gift just as he does his and we place them in the closet. Mine on one shelf and his on the other.

"Now my gift part is about done."

"About?" I look over at him to see his iconic smirk.

"Yes about because I wouldn't leave out my girlfriend now would I?"

"I mean we haven't been dating that long." I smile and tease.

Nicolas shrugs. "I know how I feel about you and I know I am working on getting you a gift."

"Can I have hints?"

"Nope."

"Kill joy." I huff and pout.

"That doesn't work on me. You see Eve is just the same and I am immune." He chuckles and pulls me into his arms.

I swoon and can't help but smile up at his handsome face. "Well I will just have to find something else out to make you give in."

"Now where is the fun in that." He teases.

Without a thought I stand on my tip toes slightly and pull his lips to mine with my hand on the back of his head. He reacts to the kiss immediately and I happily let him take over. Following his lead our tongues dance together and I can feel my body heat up.

His hands move down my body and without a struggle in the least, Nicolas pulls my legs up to wrap around his waist as he walks us somewhere. He sits and I feel the couch material on my arms that are wrapped around his back. My body moves on top of his as I grind down. His hands roam my body and cups my breast I can't stop the moan as it feels this good with clothes on I bet it is even better without clothes.

Nicolas pulls back from the kiss, panting slightly. His lips make a path down my jaw to the top of my shirt. Before he leans his head back and his hands find my hips stopping my movements.

"We need to stop before I make you uncomfortable or blow the load way to early." He pants.

The lust filled mind of mine eases up and even though I was big talk in my mind earlier, now I am nervous.

"You're right. I am so sorry but I do need a little more time." I try and catch my breath.

"No need to be sorry, if anything I am."

I know Nicolas is experienced from past talks but I am not at all which he does know. It makes me swoon how he seems to realize something before I even realized it myself. Thinking it in my mind is one thing but where we are now and it could've happened is different and has me nervous. I know I will be the first time but I don't think it is a good impression doing this on my first time here either.

"Would you like some hot chocolate?"

"Sure." I smile and move sitting next to him.

He hands me a remote and I smile. "Find whatever you want to watch."

I keep swooning and I am not ready to leave at all and I love how it doesn't feel awkward between us now. Picking a holiday movie, I take the cup when he comes back with them and some snacks.

"Do you work tomorrow?" He looks to me.

I shake my head. "Nope, so I am all yours."

"I love the sound of that." Nicolas smiles and I smile back.
