Save My Sparkle (Completed)

30. Tootles

I can't believe Nicolas asked me to move in with him. I can't believe we exchanged 'I love yous' and I meant it with all my heart just how it felt Nicolas said from his heart as well. I can't believe I agreed to move in with him!

Christmas was the best I have had in many, many years. The day passed by so incredibly quickly yesterday, but what a exhilirating day it was too. I am off today and tomorrow too which is nice. So, I did go home last night told Chrissy and Mom about Nicolas and what I said yes too, both were so very happy for me. Needless to say, I packed a large bag last night with the majority of my clothes and then all my bathroom items within thirty minutes.

Last night was the first night I spent all night long with Nicolas. Waking up to him this morning, words really couldn't describe it. He is so handsome during the day but to see his face while he is still sleeping, now that was just as amazing. Even the bed is perfection, never slept on something so soft in my life.

"Good Morning." Nicolas comes up and wraps his arms around my waist as I have been standing by the back door looking out the window.

"Good morning." I smile and turn to kiss him good morning, something I have seen in movies and now can see why it is the absolute best thing ever.

He taste of mint, telling me he has been up a few minutes to brush his teeth. I have been up almost thirty minutes and made coffee in his very nice maker that is so quick.

"What would you like for breakfast?" Nicolas asks when he pulls away from the kiss and then pours his coffee. He hums when taking a drink. "This is so good. How did you make it without needing to add some water in it to knock it off with being so strong?"

I laugh and point to the light on the machine. "This right here is the brew strength. You had it on the strongest it could be and I seen that before I started the brew."

"Oh, that helps to know that is what the light is for." Nicolas nods, while I laugh at him. "Never occured to read the instructions, so I just add some extra water to it to knock it down."

I shake my head and together we make up some simple bacon and eggs with toast.

"Do you need to work today?" I look over to Nicolas as I get up to wash my plate.

"No, I just about have the rough draft done for the deadline that is set for. We could get you moved in today?"

"Sounds great to me. The bag I brought last night holds pretty much everything just a couple nic-nacks is all I got left really because the clothes are not ones I ever cared for just never thrown out." I shrug and wash his plate when he steps over.

"There is a dishwasher we could've used." Nicolas points.

"Oh, that is nifty because I didn't even realize it there." I can feel my cheeks heat up with a shy feeling.

Nicolas chuckles. I walk to the room to get ready for the day and Nicolas gives me some time in the bathroom since he uses the other one in the house.

We slept in pajamas last night since we still hadn't done anything but I enjoyed cuddling up close to him. I wonder if it is overly weird to him for me to be living with him and us not have sex yet other than feel and show time of each other. I want to give myself to him and hope it is soon because he is the right one, Nicolas is my love and has my love so he should have all of me in every way.

"Natalie?" Nicolas calls out from the bedroom door where it is still closed.

"Come on in." I call out and he opens the door.

"Could you join me in the living room for a moment please?" He seems to squirm in place a bit.

"Of course." I frown at him since his behavior is a bit confusing.

"I promise it is all good or well I hope it is. There is another gift I have to give you." Nicolas smiles and seems to relax.

"I thought the key was my final gift?" I look at him hard.

"I said it was for yesterday but nothing about today." Nicolas smirks.

"Fine, teaches me to pay more attention to how you word things." I sigh and he just laughs holding out a hand for me to take.

On the side table there are another two white boxes with blue ribbon just like yesterdays. He guides me to the couch and sits me down before he walks over to grab the boxes we just passed.

"This one first." Nicolas smiles.

I take the box and open the lid to see a tag inside. Not just any tag but one with a bone and the name 'Bubbles' on it. With a small laugh I look up to him. "What's this?"

"This is Bubbles name tag. He is a great dane that is now your sisters service dog, the company I have went through just took him to his new forever home this morning, roughly thirty minutes ago. I have been talking with your Dad so he knew and then he let your Mom know as well, both agreed to it before I ever went ahead with talking to the company a town over."

"When did you talk to Dad?" I look at him in shock that he done this and I know it is no cheap matter.

"The day I was invited over for dinner." Nicolas smiles.

I lean over and kiss him with everything I have in me. "Thank you so much for this gift for my entire family, by giving Chrissy some freedoms back."

"Don't get teary on me just yet." Nicolas chuckles. "There is one more box. I couldn't leave my Angel out."

I take the last box and side eye him a little with a smile on my face. Opening this box there is another dog tag inside but this one is blank.

"This is for our dog. I know you love boston terriers so hold on right here." Nicolas smiles and gets up, he runs to the spare room and leaves the door open. I never went in there last night but he told me it was a spare room. "I been keeping this little thing in there, he is the quietest little boy ever and so very good."

Nicolas walks out holding a boston terrier, with white and brown fur. "Oh my gosh, Nicolas!" I whisper yell as he places the dog in my lap.

My eyes leak tears and the dog licks over my hand as his entire butt wags. His little ears don't stand up straight and tall but instead flop around.

"He is not quite a year old yet but I came across him at the pound a week ago and last night they finialized the paperwork so while you were out so was I getting him, he slept in his bed and has been content. I waited until you were asleep to walk him and done that again early morning hours too this morning." Nicolas smiles. "So what do you want to name him?"

"I love him so much Nicolas, thank you so very much." I lean over and kiss him again as the pup wiggles in between us.

"How about Tootles? His ears looks like they are waving in a way." I snicker and Nicolas nods.

"I love it. Well welcome Tootles." Nicolas smiles and pets on him.
