Keeping Afloat (A Wintumn Story)

Dinner

AUTUMN POV
I drove into the driveway. Get out of my car and go to open the front door fully expecting it to be unlocked. But it wasn't. I unlock it and walk in. Taking my shoes off I don't know whether I should shout out to see if Winter is still over or not.

I decided to wonder up to upstairs but no one was up there. Then I take a look in the dinning room, again no one. Lastly looking in the kitchen. Winter had left. I got out a wine glass and a bottle of rosé out the cupboard and poured myself a cup. I'd many one-night stands before. I had never ever been affected by the person leaving. But this time felt different, I felt different about Winter.

I poured myself another cup of wine. I have never really liked the taste of wine. I don't know why I drink it so often.

I was deep in thought when I heard a knock on the door. I walk over and unlock it to find Winter standing there holding two bags of shopping.

"What's this?" I exclaim. I let Winter as he taking his shoes of he says. "I was looking through your cupboards and saw you don't really have anything for cooking so I thought I'd run to the shop and grab some bits for dinner."

I just look at him. I really don't know what to say, no one had ever done this for me before. "If that's alright?" He adds. "Yeah of course it is."

Winter walks into the kitchen. I follow him and watch him empty the bags. "What are you making?" I ask. "Oh nothing special, just this pasta my Mum used to make when I was younger" he says looking at me as I jump up to sit on the counter top.

I sit with my glass of wine watching as Winter makes dinner. Honestly I couldn't take my eyes off of him. I have never had any man choose to come back after a hookup and then also cook me dinner. Winter was actually perfect.

WINTER POV
I started to dish up. We took everything into the dining room to the dining room and started to eat our meal. "Do you make yourself dinner every night?" Autumn asked. "I try to." I say looking into Autumn beautiful blue eyes. "What about you, do you enjoy cooking?" Autumn looks up from her plate. " I mean you saw the cupboards, I don't just not something I've ever really ever enjoyed doing, it's always felt like more of a chore than anything."

We sat there talking for what felt like an eternity about one another just getting to know eachother.

"I should probably start to head off now." I say as Autumn puts on a load on the dish washer. She looks up at me. "Do you want a lift?" She asks. I agreed, I didn't really need a  lift but I wanted an excuse to spend more time with her.

AUTUMN POV
We get into my car. I just throw on my go to playlist. The song that starts to play just so happens to be burning love by Elvis Presley. Winter turns round and says. "You listen to Elvis Presley!" He says, you can hear the excitement in his voice. "Yeah, I grew up listening to Elvis." I say back. The whole car journey home is spent discussing our favourite music and bands until we finally make it to Winters. He live in this massive town house about 10 minutes away from mine. "Thank you for dinner, it was lovely." I say as went gets out the car. Before he closes the door he says. "We should do his again sometime." I am shocked, does he really like me that much? "Yes definitely." He closes the door and I watch as he walks to his front door. I have never felt the way I do about Winter with anyone. I don't know he just makes me feel safe. I can't wait to see him again.
