When Love Comes

May 24, 2023

She had just gotten done filming for the past week and was exhausted. She walked in her house to see Ren cooking in the kitchen. She was so tired she hadn't even smelt the food but now her stomach growled from the amazing scents coming from the pots and pans he had on the stove.

"Hey gorgeous," he said coming up to her and grabbing her bag while handing her a glass of wine. They shared a kiss as she took the offered glass. 

"hey babe, what's all this?" she asked sighing as he wrapped her up in his arms.

"I know this past week was tiring so I thought I'd spoil my lady tonight, and I have a surprise for you, you came just in time, dinner is ready," he said rubbing her back.

Crystal sighed in content, this man was so thoughtful, in the 13 months they'd been dating he'd continued to show her how important she was and how he would continue to court her. He organized dates, made sure to call everyday, took out her trash, and simply showed up. 

"you're so good to me," she said kissing his neck before raising up on her tip toes to kiss his lips. As she let go she couldn't help but tease him and sucked his tongue; it was something about him being so thoughtful that made her hot and bothered even though she was just tired now she was ready for a long night. he moaned as he moved back from her.

"you deserve this and much more, come on, we got time for that later, first dinner,," he said leading her to her table where he'd set up flowers and candles.

He'd made pasta with a side salad, which was another reason she loved him so much cause anyone that knew her knew Italian was her favorite. As they sat eating she looked across from her and she was in her head thinking about how much she was blessed to have a man like this.

"so you said you had a surprise" she said shaking herself out her thoughts. 

"yeah I checked with Dinora you're free for a couple days, sooo I'm taking you away for a lil Memorial Day getaway," he said.

Crystal sat up straighter in excitement. "where?" she asked.

"Miami, just you and me, hotel and flights already booked, we leave Friday" he said.

She clapped in excitement, "yes, sir!," she yelled smiling hard.

She lifted up to kiss him while rubbing on his beard, "thank you baby," she said.

"you know I gotchu," he said giving her another peck.

After dinner he led her upstairs to the bathroom having started filling the tub while she finished eating. As she undressed and put her hair up, he put some essential oils in the water, epson salt and bubble bath. She watched as he moved around, set up her speaker and poured her another glass of wine.

"you going to join me?" she asked once she was done, she came up to wrap her arms around his waist and kissed him in between his shoulder blades.

"let me clean up downstairs and lock everything up, you need a few minutes to yourself," he said putting his hand over hers as they stood in silence for a moment.

After a moment he turned around and kissed her forehead and squeezed her waist before he stepped away. He helped her out her robe before grabbing her hand to help her in the tub. Then he passed her phone and her wine before dimming the lights and walking out. 

She sat letting the past week soak away as she sipped her wine and listened to her music. She put her head back and let the water rise to her collar as she relaxed in the bath. 15 minutes later she heard the bedroom door close and him walking around putting stuff down and most likely taking off his clothes. Soon she opened her eyes when he opened the bathroom door in the robe she'd brought for him to use when he stayed over.
