Moose Blood- Gum.
I blind folded him, the drive was a bit long.
I could see he was getting nervous and by the way he was squeezing my hand.
"You're not going to take me in a field to kill me are you?" He did a little nervous laugh.
I scoffed "You're a dork. No , but go ahead take off your blindfold. We're here. "
His jaw dropped and he looked so excited. The place was covered in pumpkins, gourds, indian corn,Halloween decorations, and such.
I helped him out of the car and he shivered. I kissed him and he clung to me.
"Austin, I'm cold. " I kissed his jaw line.
I took off my coat and wrapped it around him. Then I pulled a grey beanie out and pulled it on him, making sure his ears were covered.
"Is that better baby?" I kissed his nose. He nodded and wrapped his gloved fingers around Mine.
I seen an old buddy of mine so I sent Oliver to pick a pumpkin to take home.
Parker and I talked about what all went on with Michelle. I told him all about Oliver. I told him how much I loved him and what not.
A few minutes Oliver called to me holding up a little pumpkin. He said "Austin, Can I eat this?"
I laughed to him "Hold on baby, I'll be over there in a minute!"
We said our goodbyes and I joined Oliver in the pumpkin patch.
I grabbed his waist and looked in his eyes.
"Okay... so what are you asking me?" I raised my brows.
He held up a little pumpkin.
"Can I eat this? It's really cute and I want to eat it." I shook my head and laughed in his shoulder.
He scoffed "This is super serious Austin, I really wanna know if I can eat this." I tried too stop laughing.
"N-no baby, you can't eat the pumpkin. We take it home to decorate. Then we set it on the porch for the trick or treaters to see on Halloween." He looked like he'd cry.
I tilted his chin so he'd look at me.
"I love you." He smiled and pecked my lips.
I pet his cheek "I love you more than anything, My little pumpkin. Why don't you sit in the wagon I'll pull you."
He clapped his hands excitedly and climbed in. His little pumpkin was sitting in his lap and he smiled so brightly I think I caught a glimpse of his eyes flash into a gold color for a split second.
The pumpkin patch was packed with people and I think I should take Oliver into the barn to warm up a little.
I wheeled him into the barn which was a bakery. The smell of the caramel apples, fresh cider, the donuts, and hot chocolate permeated my nostrils.
I pulled him up to the little desert display. His smile was wide enough to see all his little spiky teeth. "Pick whatever you want ,baby cakes. "
He eyed the brownies, the donuts, and the deep red candy apples.
"Um may I have a Hot chocolate, a donut, a turtle brownie, but please can you put marshmallows in it he called to the kind old woman who grabbed All of his things.
We sat at a picnic table that was inside the barn. He leaned in my chest eating his brownie and sipping his cocoa.
"You all warmed up ,honey?" I asked him.
He snuggled his back into me and with a full mouth replied "Very cozy, thank you."
After we finished up our snacking we decided that we should go for a hay ride.
He loved it. When we got home we wer definitely in a fall mood. So I lit a few candles, brought out some stuff to make pies and Oliver supplied the music.
At this point we were comfortably in our house. He wore the boxers I gave him his first day with me and a long shirt that loosely hung off his shoulders. The grey skin that exposed through my shirt sent shivers down my back.
He sang along to Elvis , swayed, and danced.
He rolled the dough.
I layed the dough in while he filled it with the Apple pie filling. As we were doing the finishing touches he decided to get into some deep discussion.
"Austin, My father is calling me home next week. " I kinda felt a little upset.
"Do you want to go?" I tried saying as steadily as I could, topping the pie with almonds.
He put it in the oven and sat on the counter.
"I have no choice, but to go. He's called all of my brothers to go and I'm the only one not present yet.."
Tears brimmed my eyes and I stood between his legs. "Will you come back?"
He pressed his forehead to mine and his hands cupped my cheeks. He looked in my eyes and cracked a smile.
