Just A Kid

18. Us

Julietta POV

I heard the door lock click and the door slide over the carpeted floor. I heard his sigh and his footsteps but I didn't even turn my head.

I just stayed where I was staring at the wall willing my tears to stop. I didn't want cry over him anymore, I didn't want this hurt anymore and more than anything I didn't want Phil to be right.

His words had more than stung, all this time I thought he loved my nickname for him but he just found it embarrassing.......but then why would he be ok with Phil knowing about it and not Rhea?

"Nugget" he says softly as he kneels in front of me

"I told you....."

"I know but I'm going to call you nugget whether you like it or not" he says with a sad smile that I don't return "Nugget I am so sorry......I over reacted and I shouldn't have done. I love that you call me cookie, of course I do i just........I guess I let what the guys would think matter more than how I feel about it" he says

"You hurt me" I say

"I know and I can't tell you how sorry I am" he sighs "i love you nugget, more than you know. The thought that I may have lost you is terrifying me right now......I can't be without you.........you are the only thing that got me through all the hard times......thinking of you and getting back to you so that we could be us. Please don't leave me nugget" he pleads as his eyes fill with tears.

Silently I take his face in my hands and rub my thumbs under his eyes to catch his tears.
He leans into my touch turning his head to kiss my palm.

"I love you" I say softly "I will never leave you.....I was mad and hurt yes but I would never leave you over something like that. If you don't want me to call you it anymore that's fine I just wish you had told me sooner"

"I didn't mean what I said" he says wrapping his arms around my waist and resting his head against my chest "I want you to call me it, I love hearing it but not as much as I love you"

"I love you cookie" I say and he looks up at me with a soft smile before grazing his lips over mine. He looks deep in my eyes like he is reading them look for permission. I press my lips to his and he wraps his arms around me tightly before lifting me and moving me up the bed and laying me down with him on top of me.

"Say it again" he says as his lips travel to my neck

"I......love you.......cookie" I breath "I love you.......so much......wait what about your gifts" I giggle

"We'll get to them" he smiles before looking around "I only see one though"

"I'm wearing the other" I say biting my lip

"Oh really" he says wiggling his eyebrows "then i best unwrap that one first huh..........after I give you your gift" he says getting off the bed

"My.......but it's your birthday" I say confused as he comes back to me with a small box.

"I know but I didn't want to wait any longer" he smiles "here open it"

I untie the ribbon slowly under Damian's watchful gaze before lifting the lid off. Opening the box reveals a set of keys on a key chain that looks very much like a chicken nugget and a cookie.

"What........what is this?" I ask looking up at him.

"They are keys......to my place" his says sitting beside me "tell me if you think I'm moving too fast but.........nugget I would very much like to make my house a home with you..............will you move in with me"

"Yes" I gasp excitedly throwing my arms around his neck "yes! yes! yes! Of course I will"

His lips find mine once again as we find ourselves in the same position as before and I feel his hands begin to wonder.

"To unwrap you have to pull the zip" I say cheekily rolling on the my front.

As the zipper starts to move a feel the cool air and his finger against my skin. When it's all the way down he gets up from the bed and helps me to stand.

Looking in my eyes he slides the straps over my shoulders and down my arms and the dress falls away leaving him open mouthed.

"Hot damn......" He gasps "please tell me this is my present"

"It sure is" I smile "I made it myself" I say giving him a twirl

I had designed and made myself a bra in thong that matched his wrestlemaina gear. The red and purple flames were strategically placed and the black parks were see through.

"Happy birthday to me" he says licking his lips "I hope you haven't made any other plans for today because I don't feel like leaving this room"

"No I haven't" I say biting my lip "we're free for the rest of the day.......cookie"

With not a word he crashes his lips on to mine and literally sweeps me off my feet laying me down on the bed. I will never understand why but I have always found it impossible to be mad at this man.........even more so since things changed between us and I wouldn't have it any other way.
