A Friendship Or More

A big Step

Time flew by and I had moved in with Norman, and it wasn't something I did willingly or with out a fight. It wasn't that I didn't want to its just, he had told me in the beginning that there was a lot that came with dating him. I understood that, and I just didn't want to rush things. He had a point though, he wasn't leaving Georgia with out me. There was no way I'd let him go back to New York with out me. It was just natural that we move in together now, so it wasn't such a shock when we did go back to New York.
It didn't take us long to settle in to a rutine, living with Norman was the easiest thing I had done. We had been hanging out so long that evething we did was out of habit. We knew pretty much everything about each other. What we were like in the morning, what made us tick, and what made us happy. The sex didn't change, it was always welcomed when either one of us got the urge. My shyness had gone away too, I was more willing to just walk around the bedroom naked. Norman loved this and always told me he did. I'd smile and blush, but the truth was I was way more confident with him. He never missed an opportunity to tell me how beautiful I was or how he loved looking at me. He made me feel beautiful. He always had.
We were now in December and in New York, and I was enjoying being back in the snow. I was originally from the North and moved to Georgia to be in the warmth. I laughed when I made it to New York, and back to the cold. Back to what I had tried to leave.
It was just a couple weeks before Christmas, and I was online shopping. One of the things that bugged me when I moved in with Norman was that he didn't make me or wouldn't let me pay for anything. I also didn't have to have a job, I did that of my own fee will. I had argued with him in the beginning that I wanted to pay for something, but he refused.
So here I sat, my day off, Norman was gone. I was online shopping buying him and Mingus, anything and everything I could think of becuase I didn't have anything better to do with my moeny. Mingus had told me about a few things he had really wanted, so I got them. Norman ofcourse didn't want anyhing, which drove me crazy. So I bought him just random things I knew he would like, and use. Ray Bands, shirts, slipper, another boob pillow, whatever sounded good.
I sighed as I checked out my cart and payed for it. Things had Gotten more lonley sence we moved back to New York. I was use to spending every day with Norman. Now my days consisted of seeing him before work and at night. I wasn't fond of it, but I knew that's what came with dating a him. He would bring it up sometimes. He knew being with him wasn't ideal, and if he could change the amount of time we got to spend together he would, but he couldn't. I would tell him it was no big deal, I didn't want him to know that I was lonley, that would crush him. I just kept telling myself that it had to be enough, because the alternative was to not be with him, and I definitely didn't want that.
I looked at the clock, it was late in the afternoon and there was no word from Norman yet as to when he would be home. It was Friday, and I just wished for once he would have a weekend off, but those, like our time together, were not as often as I wanted. I laid down and thought about how much I did care for him and how I wanted to be with him. I'd already put up with so much, in the beginning, just being friends with him. Just so I could be around him. I would put up with much more, now that we were dating. I loved him, I had to, but I had known this for quite sometime. Eye In The Dark, had come and curled up beside me and we were about asleep when there was a banging on the door. I sat up, not exspectin anyone. I went to answer it, I opend the door to a mountain of presents. I looked at it funny.
"Norman?" I asked. He grunted.
"Help?" He asked. I quickly started grabbing some.
"What I all this?" I asked finnaly able to see him. He smiled.
"Yours and Mingus's presents. He doesn't believe in Santa anymore, so they just go under the tree," he explained, while we went to the living room and started putting presents under it. I handed him the ones I had and when he was finished he stood up. I hugged him tightly.
"Why didn't you text?" I asked. He smiled, kissing me hard.
"I like surprising you," he said holding me close. I smiled, I loved being with him.
"Mmh," I hummed as we went and sat down. He pulled me on to his lap, and kissed me. HIs intentions were clear, and I felt like it had been too long. When in reality it had only been sence this moring.
"The only thing is we have to be quick, or wait," he said I looked down at him.
"Why?" I aksed, he kissed me again. He was clearly in no mood to wait.
"So fuckin' adorable!" He breathed. "Mingus will be here in about two hours," he said. I sighed. I loved seeing Mingus, he was always a joy, but I loved having my alone time with Norman.
"We better hurry up then," I said kissing at his neck, Norman chuckled and picked me up, caring me to our bed.
It was the most amazing and the shortest, it felt, of love making. I loved how amazing it was, but hated that we had to be fast about it. My favorite day's were when. We got to stay in bed all day and make love. That hand happend in a while now, not sence we left Georgia. As I lay on Norman's chest kissing it, he let out a chuckel.
"Baby girl we don't have time, and if you don't stop that, I'm going to be very uncomfortable for the rest of the evening," he said wiggling away. I giggled.
"Sorry, I wasn't tying to make you uncomfortable, just love.... Being with you," I said. I had almost told him again, I loved him. I wondered if it was too soon. I kept telling myself it was, because he hadn't said it yet, or he didn't feel the same. I wasn't sure. Norman eyed me.
"I love," he made a brief pause as well. "Being with you too," he said pulling me up to kiss me. We parted and he looked at me the the clock. "Wish there was more time, just being with you makes me want you," he said kissing me again. I giggled.
"Time to put clothes on," I said still smilling, and knowing Mingus would be there in just a little while. Norman made a face as I got out of bed, he watched.
"You know what would be really sexy?" He asked. I kinda laughed, sometimes his ideas were a bit off the wall.
"What?" I asked, getting dressed. he smiled.
"A sexy video of you stripping and, other things," he said raising an eyebrow and smiling. I stopped and looked at him.
"What kinda other things?" I asked. He smiled bigger.
"Something naughty," he said, finnaly getting up. I raised an eyebrow at him now, as he got dressed.
"Ohh, and what would you do with this video?" I asked. He pulled on his pants and came beside me pulling me into his arms, kissing me.
"Watch it," he said, when we parted. I looked at him.
"Ok, but I'm right here," I said, confused why all of a sudden he wanted such a thing. He smiled.
"Well yeah, but your not always," he said, looking at me. I made a face.
"Are you going to of town again?" I asked. He sighed.
"Not any time soon, as far as I know, but it be nice when I do. To watch you be a naughty girl for me," he smiled. I shook my head and smile.
I'll think about it," I finnaly said. He kissed me one more time.
"Better then no, which I thought you'd say," he smiled. I giggled, with a shug.
"I don't know, might be fun," I smiled back. Truthfully I thought I'd look completely stupid, but for him I'd try. He smiled bigger.
"Ya know if you want we could watch some videos for references," he said excitedly. I giggled.
"Reedus, we're you just trying to get me to watch porn with you?" I asked. He chuckled.
"No, but if you will, that be cool, haven't found a girl yet who would," he said. I sighed shaking my head.
"We'll see," I said again. He pulled me closer.
"You are so sexy," he said, kissing me. I giggled.
"Why? Becuase I agreed to maybe watch porn with you and maybe make one for you?" I asked. He nodded.
"More then most would agree to," he said, as we finnaly made it out of the bedroom and in to the kitchen. I made a face as I looked around the kitchen.
"You suprised?" I asked. He kinda nodded.
"Well yeah," he finnaly said comming beside me. I laughed as I pulled him in to a hug.
"Why? Your always saying I'm not like other girls," I pointed out to him. He smiled, and kinda chuckled.
"That's very true," he said kissing me. I snuggled in to his chest as we stood there like that for a little while, then the doorbell rang. I sighed, but smiled up at Norman. He kissed me quickly and went to answer the door. I continued to look around the kitchen for dinner.
I heard Norman talk to Mingus, he answered. I kinda laughed, and though how was I ever going to survive a teenager. I heard Norman talk to Helena and, my heart kinda skipped, we hadn't met. I kinda froze. Was she comming in? I waited, Norman kinda chuckled.
"Yeah, she's in here," he said happily. I wanted to hide. I kinda stood there akwardly as they walked in. Norman smiled at me as he came beside me. "Helena, this is Stephanie. Stephanie this is Mingus's mom, Helena," he introduced us. I smiled shyly and we shook hands.
"Hi," I said lowly . She smiled, kinda laughing at me.
"Norman, she deffenatly not your usual, type. She's simply scared to death," Helena talk to him like I wasn't there. I kinda felt akward as I watched them. Norman smiled and wrapped his arm around me.
"No, she's isnt, she's one of a kind," he said looking at me, with all I could say was love. I smiled, and blushed.
"Well I certainly hope this works. I don't think I've ever seen Mingus this fond of one of his dad's girlfriends," Helena said. I kinda smiled.
"Umm, well thank you," I said, still unsure. She kinda giggled.
"That's because they were all mean," Mingus said, as he came in to the kitchen, holding Eye In The Dark. I kinda smiled.
"Stop, they all weren't that bad," Norman said again. Mingus rolled his eyes.
"Dad, they act different around you," he told Norman. Norman made a face.
"Humm," Norman hummed. I tried to help Mingus out.
"Haven't you ever seen the movies, where the dad gets a new girlfriend, and she starts out nice, but as soon as the dad's back is turned she and evil bitch, trying to send the kid off to bording school?" I asked Norman. He shugged, but nodded.
"Yeah," he said. I made a face like, 'Hello!'
"See dad she gets it," Mingus said. I smiled.
"I'd never do that, I know I'm replaceable. If I had kids, you bet your ass any man would be," I said to Mingus, he smiled.
"And that's why you should keep her," Mingus said. Helena looked suprised, but smiled.
"I think I'm being to like her too," she said with a smile. I kinda blushed, I didn't expect that. Norman finnaly agreed, and Helena said good bye and left. Norman and Mingus went to the living room and I wasn't far behind.
"Anyone know what they want for dinner?" I asked. Norman looked at Mingus, who smiled.
"Toco's!" they said together. I laughed.
"Alright," I said walking out to the kitchen. I turned before getting all the way out the door way. "Anything you two need before I go?" I laughed as they both sat on the couch lazily. They really were mirror images of each other. Norman smiled.
"Not anything you can do right this second," he laughed. I rolled my eyes. Mingus made a gaging noise.
"I like her, but that doesn't mean you two have to talk like that!" He said. I giggled.
"I ment a drink or a snack to hold you over!" I told Norman. He sighed.
"A beer?" He asked. "Please baby?" He asked sweetly I smiled and nodded.
"Yeah. Mingus?" I aksed. He shrugged.
"No thanks, I'm good," he said. I smiled and, went to get Norman's beer. I had just made it to the refrigerator when I heard Norman yell something. I was half in my own little world. I was about to ask him what he had said when I saw Mingus. I smiled he smiled.
"Need something?" I asked. He shook his head, as he grabed a water from the fridge.
"My dad say anything to you?" He asked. I looked at him funny.
"About?" I asked. He shook his head.
"No, you'd know if he did. I don't wanna spoil it," Mingus said getting a bag of chips from the cupboard and walking away. I was confused. What was be talkng about? I made may way back into the living room, to Norman, handing him the beer. He pulled me down in to his lap and kissed me.
"Cutest damn waitress yet," he said. I giggled, kissing him one more time.
"All that for a beer, what happends when I bring food?" I laughed. He smiled.
"Mmmh, just wait and see," he said. I giggled. Mingus groaned.
"Just stop," he said. I giggled as I tried to get up. Norman held me in place though.
"Someday you'll have a girlfriend and I'm going to make gaging sounds and embarrass the shit outta you," Norman said, looking at Mingus. I laughed.
"You will not!" I said. He looked at me. Mingus laughed.
"Yep she's a keeper!" He said happily. Norman made a face at me.
"Why not?" He asked, looking at me funny. I looked at him seriously.
"Because, he's a kid. He's supposed to act like that," I defended. Norman made a face.
"I'm his dad I'm supposed to embarrass the shit outta him," Norman smiled. I raised an eyebrow.
"Be nice," I said as I kissed him and got up. I heard him let out a deep breath as I left.
"Fine," he said. I kinda smiled to myslef. I went to the kitchen and started on dinner. I was off in my own little word. I had decied it was alright to drink around Norman now, because we were a couple. He was happy with it too, so as I cooked I had a drink myself. About half way threw my cooking Norman came in. I smiled at him.
"Hey," I said as he came beside me and kissed me. He smiled.
"Hey, just wanted to check on you and make sure you were ok," he said. I looked up at him confused.
"Yeah fine, why?" I asked. He smiled.
"Just making sure your not lonley," he said holding me. I smiled and kissed him.
"No, I'm alright," I smiled. He kissed me again.
"Ok, I mean, I know we kinda were rushed, then Mingus showed up and I've been in the living room with him," Norman said. I smiled.
"I'm not lonley," I said with a smile and went back to cooking. Norman stayed behind me like a shadow.
"Remeber when we use to cook together?" He asked kissing at my head. I giggled.
"Yeah," I said lowly, back when I got to spend all my time with him. I couldn't say that though. He would know that I was lonley. He held me close, I could never get enough of this.
"I do miss you like crazy," he said still holding me. I shut off the meat and looked up at him.
"I am right here," I said, like it should be the most odvious thing in the world. I heard him sighed.
"I know, I just mean, like before, when I got to spend almost every day with you, from sun up till we fell asleep. Now I see you in the morning, and before I pass out. I just" he made a brief pause. "I know you say it's no big deal, but I've heard that before, and then you leave. I don't want to lose you," he said holding me tight. I turned around and look at him.
"Baby, I do miss being with you all day everyday, I won't lie, but I know you have to work, and if I didn't work I'd go crazy. So yeah we don't spend a lot of time together now, but when we do get to see each other it's that much better," I said, with a smile. He kinda smiled.
"So your not going to leave me?" He asked. I pulled my eyebrows together.
"No, I have no plans of doing that," I said. He smiled. Pulling me in for a kiss. One that told me everything, that he was scared to lose me and that he really did care. Well that's what I got outta it. We parted and I smiled at him.
"Just tell me if you ever become unhappy," he said, seriously. I smiled.
"It's a deal," I said. He kissed me again. I looked up at him, I wanted to tell him, how I felt. That I loved him and didn't have any plans on leaving him. He pulled me close holding me, just holding. I held him tight.
"So how's dinner commin'" He asked as we parted just enough to see eachother. I smiled.
"Be ready soon, meats done. Just got to cut up the veggies," I said. He smiled as he let go and walked to the refrigerator.
"I'll help ya, I miss doin that," Norman smiled. I smiled, I missed it to.
"Sounds good, cut up what you want," I said getting him a cutting board and knife. He nodded
"How many you eatin?" He asked. I looked at him.
"I don't know, I guess two," I shrugged. I was the only person in the world that wasn't big on toco's. He looked at me a minute.
"I swear the only girl in the world who don't eat taco's. Alright then, but you won't eat them," Norman said, starting to cut up the lettuce. I sighed.
"Ok smart ass, your right, I'll eat a salad," I said getting it a few more vegetables. Norman shook his head.
"I'll never understand you," he said. I laughed.
"I'm not big on toco's, never have been," I said. Then I kinda laughed. "Might also have something to do with that one time I got drunk and ate taco's," I said, remebering it all to well. Norman laughed.
"Ohh, I have foods like that," Norman said. I kinda giggled.
"Sucks," I said getting plates out. "Mingus!" I called. I looked up to Norman who had his hand out for my bowl.
"That enough?" He asked, showing me the bowl. I kinda looked at it.
"Too much," I said. He sighed, taking out a little.
"Why do I put up with you?" He asked, moving on to the tamato. I watched him.
"No tomatoes," I said, then I laughed. He threw me a look. "And you put up with me, the same reason I put up with you," I said with a laugh. Norman smirked.
"Ohh, and what's that?" He asked smiling, and trying not to laugh. Mingus came in and was setting at the bar watching us. I smiled.
"You wouldn't know what to do with out me," I said. Norman smiled.
"Alright, your right," he said putting the tomatoes off to the side and moving on to the next vegetable I had out. I smiled
"How many? I asked Mingus. He looked at me.
"Three," he said. I smiled. I started making his taco's.
"What the hell is wrong with your hands?" Norman asked Mingus. Mingus smiled.
"She likes me," Mingus smiled. I giggled.
"He is adorable," I said. Handing Mingus his plate. Mingus smiled.
"She's sweet on me," he said. I rolled my eyes.
"Ok now your pushing it," I laughed. Mingus smiled.
"I got my toco's," he shrugged. Norman chucked a peice of cucumber at him. I giggled. "HEY!" Mingus yelled. I laughed.
"Stop being a smart ass!" Norman told him. I quickly grabbed the slice of cucumber, Norman threw and threw it back at him. Norman looked at me. "What the hell?" He asked, laughing. I laughed.
"Stop throwing food!" I yelled. Norman smiled evily.
"That's it!" He said putting down the food he was cutting. I smiled bigger and my eyes widden. "Run!" Norman said. I squeeled and ran threw the house. Norman fast behind me. I made it to our room and looked for a place to hide. Norman was there, though in the door way watching me. I squeeled again as I moved around the bed. Giggling like a school girl, he smiled at me.
"Now baby," I giggled. Norman laughed.
"What's wrong girly? Run outta places to hide?" He asked moving tward me. I laughed and tried desperately to get away. Norman was quicker though and I was pinned to the bed. I smiled up at him as he had my arms pinned above my head and sitting on my waist. He smiled down at me.
"Normy!" I giggled trying to wiggle out of his grasp. He held me tighter leaning in close.
"What's wrong baby girl?" He asked lowly. I growled trying to get away from him. He laughed. I staired up at him. He smiled leaning in to kiss me. I happily excepted his lips on mine. The passion in his kiss, I wanted to hold him. I wiggled again as he let go of my arms and let me kiss him, deeper. My arms went from around his neck to sliding down his body to pull at his shirt. Norman pulled away and smiled, I wimmpered at the loss of his kiss.
"Later," he whispered, getting up. I sighed.
"Fine, I pouted. He smiled, gently cupping my face.
"Come on," he said, we kissed again briefly and then headed back to the kitchen hand in hand. Mingus sat on the couch.
"I swear you two just got worse!" He grummbled as we walked by. I laughed. Norman smiled at him.
"Could be worse," he remarked. Mingus rolled his eyes.
"Doubt it. Unless she's already pregnant," Mingus said. I looked at Norman, we hadn't talked about kids.
"Not yet," Norman teased, at least I think he was. We made back to the kitchen and Norman finished making my salad. I smiled as we traded dishes.
"Your so sweet!" I said. He smiled.
"I just cut stuff up," he said making it no big deal. I smiled. I was the fact that he did it, took the time.
"Your still amazing," I said, he kinda smiled, comming beside me with his plate. He leaned in and kissed me. We went to the living room and sat down. Me on the end of the couch Norman and then Mingus. Mingus watched us for a minute.
"How long have you technology been together?" He asked after a minute. I looked at Norman. I was wondering if he remebered. Norman smiled.
"I count from the day I met her," Norman said. I rolled my eyes.
"Four months," I finnaly said. Norman threw me a look. Mingus looked at me.
"How long does it take before you decide if your going to marry her?" Mingus asked. I almost choked on my rum and coke. Norman I think did choke on his dinner.
"WHAT?!" He asked. Mingus looked at us like he wasn't sure why we were both so suprised.
"What? You love her right? So your going to marry her, right?" Mingus asked, looking at us funny. I looked at Norman, wondering too what he was going to say. Norman kinda suddered.
"Um well, I mean. One day. I umm, well love is," Norman stopped. I kinda smiled arching an eyebrow at him. He was cute as hell when he was embarrassed and at a loss for words. I finnaly decied to help him.
"Mingus, it's not nice to make your dad answer uncomfortable questions," I kinda giggled. Norman was being so cute at the moment. Norman looked at me.
"Well I mean, it's not uncomfortable, I just, umm," Norman suddered. I giggled.
"Things like love, and marriage they take time. Just because we've been together a couple months, doesn't mean anything. It could take a couple years before we decied on anything," I said. Norman looked at me kinda funny, Mingus smiled.
"It won't take that long," Mingus said, with a smile. I looked at him and shrugged, leaning on Norman.
"I don't care, if it takes a hondred years," I said smiling, Norman smiled and kissed.
"It definitely won't take that long," Norman said with a smile. I giggled.
The evening went on, and before too long we were calling it bed time. Norman had to work in the morning and I would stay home with Mingus. As Norman and I climbed in to bed he pulled me close. No matter how late we went to bed or how early we got up, Norman was sure to show me how he cared before we went to sleep. No matter how exhusted I was, I still stayed awake for him. I knew he had to be more exhusted, but he felt the need to make me feel special. After we were exhusted in every way possible, we cuddled close and fell asleep.
Saturdays were often boring without Norman, but we made it threw. I groaned as Norman bounced next to me like a child, trying to get me up. I looked up at him annoyed, but the way he smiled at me, and looked so cute, I couldn't be mad. I sighed as I smiled at him.
"What?" I asked. He smiled more.
"Shower," he said. I sighed. Morning showers were another way for him to love me before he had to leave. I sighed and nodded. He was quickly out of the bed and to the bathroom. I sat up lazily and tried to wake up. I hated how early we had to get up, but spending the extra hour with Norman was something I wouldn't change. He walked out of the bathroom and watched me. I smiled as I stood.
It was the same rutine every morning, if I had to work or not. Norman woke me up. He would be way to hyper for me, and I would finnaly get out of bed. Of course I'd still be naked from the night before. Norman would look at me and smile. Every morning, I couldn't understand why. He saw my naked body every day. I couldn't understand what was so great about it. Made I to him like every morning and he pulled me in to his arms.
"You are so fuckin beautiful," he said, just like he did every morning. I smiled as we kissed.
"Your sexy," I said. He truly was. I guess no mater how many times I saw him naked, I still liked looking too. We went to the shower. Kissing and holding each other. After a short shower, we were dressed and to the kitchen. Where coffee was already made and waiting for us. Norman handed me a cup and then got his own. We stood in silance, while we drank, then Norman spoke.
"Thinking about taking the week of Christmas off," he said. I nodded. He threw me a look. I shighed I knew what he wanted.
"Is can't ask for that off on such short notice," I told him. He sighed, unhappy.
"You can't try?" He asked. I sighed, shaking my head.
"Baby that's only two weeks away," I said. "Christmas is one of our business times," I sighed. Norman sighed too.
Try for me?" He asked. I sighed, I couldn't tell him no.
"Yes," I agreed willingly. He smiled. He came and held me close. We went to the living room and sat. I laid my head on his chest. He smelt amazing as alway and I wanted nothing more then to go back to sleep.
"You sleepin?" He asked. I shook my head slowly. He kissed me. "God I want a vacation, just so I can see you more," he said. I smiled up at him.
"I don't think it would help. I'd love it too, but even a hounded year with you and I'd still, miss you when you go to work," I told him. He smiled.
"A hounded years with me and you'll be ripping your hair out, begging me to go to work," he laughed. I shook my head.
"No, I already know you, believe me, a hounded year would be perfect, but never enough," I said, looking up. Norman smiled.
"Alright," he agreed. We kissed and he held me again, but all to soon it was time for him to go. I walked with him to the door, and kissed him good bye.
"Have a good day baby," I said hugging him tightly. He squeezed me back.
"You too. I'll try not to be too late," he said as he kissed me again and headed out. I sighed as EITD sat beside me on the floor. I looked down at him.
"Come on kitty," I said picking him up. He started to purr. "Let's go back to bed," I said. We went back into the bedroom and laid down. It wasn't long before I was asleep.
Sometime later, Eye In The Dark left and I rolled over and looked at my phone, it was almost ten o'clock. I sighed and decided to get up. I went out to the kitchen and got more coffee. Standing lazily at the counter drinking it. Mingus trudged out, looking like he had just rolled out of bed. I kinda giggled at him.
"Rough night?" I asked with a laugh. He ignored me and got his own coffee. After a couple sips he looked up at me.
"Why are girl so complicated?" He asked. I raised an eyebrow.
"I'm pretty sure we have more feelings," I said sarcastically. He made a face.
"Seriously," he said. I giggled.
"What do you mean? I don't know how girls are complicated," I said. He sighed.
"I don't know. This girl at school, I'm pretty sure she likes me, but when I ask her she always ignores me. So I'm not sure, but then I made a comment about an other girl and she flipped out on me," he said. I giggled.
"She likes you," I smiled. He looked at me.
"Then why don't she just say it?" He asked. I laughed.
"Girls arn't that straight farward. Well I mean, most. She's probably shy, and if your asking her, but not telling her if you like he back, she's probably scared. If she says yes and you don't felt the same way, she will look dumb," I explained. He looked like it was all making sence to him now.
"Ohh, so what should I do?"He asked. I kinda laughed again.
"Well for starters, do you like her?" I asked. He shugged, and blushed. I laughed now.
"Ohh, well I mean that's the first step, figuring that out. If you do, tell her, maybe take her to a movie or lunch, talk to her. Don't text her and be 'I like you let's go out.' So impersonal. If you don't like her, don't text her that either. Again set up something where you can hang out and tell her that you just want to be friends, and your sorry if you sent the wrong signals to her," I explained. He nodded.
"Won't she be mad if I tell her I don't like her?" He asked. I sighed.
"It will hurt, but if she's that in to you, she'll stay by you, even if she just has to be your friend," I explained. Mingus nodded.
"Like you and my dad, right?" He asked. I sighed.
"Your a smart kid. Yeah, he didn't ever say he wasn't in to me, just didn't want a relationship," I said remebering how that hurt. Mingus nodded.
"But you stayed his friend, untill he finnaly realized he wanted to be with you," Mingus knew the story. I nodded.
"Yeah, stay by his side forever," I said, with a smile. Mingus smiled.
"I don't think it will take him that long to realize your worth keeping," he said. I smiled.
"Thanks," I said. He smiled.
"So do you mind if I go out to the mall later?" He asked. I shrugged.
"Naw, who you going with?" I asked. He kinda shrugged again.
"Gonna meet a friend. You could come, so my dad knows I'm being good," he said. I nodded.
"Go text her and make sure she is free to go to the mall," I laughed. Mingus smiled, and walked away.
I was about to go sit down when the door bell rang. I went to answer it. I opend the door to the FedEx man, and a very large box, I smiled and thanked him for it. I decied to bring it in to the bedroom and see what it was. It had no markings on it just a plain white box, and my name on it. Honestly I had been online shopping for a couple weeks now, for Christmas, so I had no idea what this was. I opend the box to see it was for Norman, some things I had bought for him and I.
I smiled happily as I looked threw the box at a few of the outfits I had picked out to wear for him. Some massage lotions, edible lubs. It had all come and I pondered what to do with it. These presents couldn't go under he tree, because Mingus would be here for Christmas. I decied to bury the box deep in my side of the closet, stacking things around and on top of it. I smiled as I walked out to find Mingus.
"Oh hey!" I said. He looked at me.
"Who was at the door?" He asked. I smiled.
"Delivery, Christmas presents for your dad," I said he nodded.
"Ohh, so she said about one," he said causaly. I nodded.
"Sounds good," I said. Mingus nodded, and turned to walk away. "Hey," I said, he turned back.
"Yeah?" He asked. I looked at him, a second.
"Why me?" I asked. He took a second.
"My dad's not good with this stuff, girls in general, and mom's busy," he shrugged. I nodded.
"Oh," I said, nodding. Mingus made a face.
"My mom too, I didn't know, she gives mom advice. I didn't want mom advise," he kinda laughed. I smiled.
"I got ya," I said. He smiled, and walked away.
A couple hours later we were at the food court at the mall. Mingus was unable to sit still. I giggled at him as I sipped on my coffee. He eyed me but said nothing. I watched him look around like he was going to be attacked at any moment.
"Calm down," I giggled. "You look like someone's going to jump you," I said. He looked at me.
"I look that nervous?" He asked. I nodded.
"Tarrified," I said, smiling. He took a deep breath.
"Any tips?" He asked. I smiled.
"How long you known her?" I asked. He looked asked me.
"Couple years, we go to school together," he said. I smiled.
"Then why are you nervous? You already know her," I said. He looked at me, a long moment.
"You weren't nervous when my dad asked you out?" He asked. I smiled.
"Meeting him? Yes. Hanging out with him for the first time? Yes. By the time he asked me out. Nervous. Deffenatly not," I told him shaking my head. He smiled.
"Ok maybe that was a question for my dad," he laughed. I smiled.
"I'm not sure if he was," I smiled, remebering how he kissed me and begged for me to stay.
"Do I want to know?" He asked, kinda smiling. I shook my head.
"No, probably not," I said. "But he didn't seem nervous," I said. He nodded. Then he looked up, I fallowed his gaze to a, petite, brunette, smiling at him.
"Hi," she said shyly. I smiled taking that as my que, to leave.
"Well two have fun. I'll be around, message me," I said, Mingus was too buy smiling at the girl to even hear me. I giggled. The young girl smiled at me, as I left, and took my spot.
I spent most of the afternoon shopping. Looking at different things for me, Norman or Mingus. I found myself in Victoria Secret, I kinda laughed to myslef, this was one of Norman's favorite stores. He was always trying to get me in here or getting me something from here. I decied to humor him, even though was at work, and it would be a Christmas present. By picking out something he would like. As I left the store, I thought to myself. Most of the presants I had bought for Norman were for both of us really.
I checked my phone, nothing yet from Mingus yet, so I decided to go to a men's clothing store and look for something that was just for him. An house later, I was very successful. Thankfully Norman was an easy person to buy for. He truly did just like jeans and tshirts. I found a couple pairs of shoes too. Boots and a few others that were similar, what he already had. I was looking at a game store when Mingus messaged me and said he was almost ready, about another twenty-five minutes. I texted him back and told him that was fine, I was just shopping.
On our way back to the apartment, Mingus looked at me. He looked like he wanted to say something but he the turned away. We made it home and he helped me carry in my things. I thanked him, and I put the stuff away that needed to be. I went out to the kitchen looking at the clock seeing it was almost dinner time. I sent Norman a text message, because he said he would be home early. I yelled to Mingus to see what he wanted for dinner. He came out.
"What's up?" He asked. I smiled.
"Dinner?" I asked, as my phone buzzed and Norman said he was on his way. I smiled, looking up to Mingus.
"Dad on his way?" He asked. I nodded.
"Yeah, he also said he don't care what we do for dinner. If we wanna order something let him know and he'll pick it up," I said. Mingus smiled.
"Pizza," he said. I smiled.
"Didn't you just eat pizza for lunch?" I asked. He smiled.
"Yeah, I like pizza," he said, I giggled.
"Wings? Salad?" I asked. He nodded. I smiled. I shot Norman a text, letting him know that I was going to call in an order, to a local restaurant. Norman texted back and said that sounded good he would stop buy and get it. I smiled, as I looked up Mingus was still sitting there.
"Your dad said he would pick it up," I smiled. Mingus nodded. I watched him. "Is there something you needed?" I asked. He made a face.
"You and my dad are going to be together a while right?" He asked. I looked at him.
"I mean I hope so," I said. He smiled.
"Me too," he agreed. I smiled.
"Well thanks," I smiled. He nodded.
"Now were those Christmas presents we brought in?" He asked, I laughed.
"Yes," I said smiling. He smiled bigger.
"Anything for me?" He asked. I giggled again, shaking my head.
"Yes," I said. He smiled.
"Cool, but I need my dad to take me out to get a present," Mingus said. I smiled and nodded.
"I can give ya two some time to talk after dinner," I said. He nodded.
"Going to wrap my presents?" He asked. I giggled.
"I got you dad stuff too," I said. He smiled.
"Yeah, I know," he said. I laughed.
"Your just worried about yours, right?" I giggled. He smiled.
"Well yeah," he said. I smiled. About twenty minutes later, Norman showed up with food. Mingus was happy to help his dad by taking the food and hurrying off to the kitchen. I giggled as I greater Norman with a hug and a kiss. He smiled.
"Nice to see you too!" He yelled at Mingus, with a laugh. I giggled, as Norman pulled me back in to kiss me better and hold me.
"How was your day?" I asked. Walking with Norman to the kitchen.
"Tiring," he said. Slapping Mingus on the arm. "What the hell?" He asked. Migus just smiled.
"Hey dad," he said taking his plate and moved out of Norman's way. I smiled, watching them have there little back and forth.
"The hell? Ya brat, steal the food and run like hell. Who the hell raised you?" Norman asked, I giggled getting out food and handing him a plate. "Ohh you think he's cute, don't you?" Norman, was pretending to be mad, but I knew him all to well. Mingus of course was smiling too.
"Wolves, I was raised by wolves," he laughed. Norman laughed.
"Little shit!" Norman said . I giggled. After we had all gotten what we wanted we went in to the living room.
"I got the remote!" Mingus yelled. Norman watched as he put it on, a channel I couldn't see, but it sounded like a sports game.
"What if we don't want to watch this?" Norman asked. I giggled.
"Baby just sit down," I giggled. Norman huffed and sat beside me.
"I suppose you don't care?" He asked. I giggled handing him his plate and kissing him.
"Rather pay attention to you," I smiled. Norman smiled instantly.
"Then why are we out here?" He asked. Kissing me back, I giggled.
"OK! I'll change it, geez," Mingus said unhappily. I smiled. Norman looked suprised.
"You plan that?" he asked. I giggled.
"No, did just want to pay attention to you, but I guess it worked for ya," I said, with a shrug. Norman leaned in and kissed my head.
"Don't worry I'll pay you all the attention you want me to, later," he said kissing the side of my head again. I smiled. I rested my head on his shoulder, knowing it wouldn't be long, because he'd have to get up early and leave. Norman looked at me, then pulled away so he could see my face. I smiled at him seeing the playfulness in his eyes.
What?" I asked, still smiling. He smiled bigger.
"I have tomorrow off," he said, leaning in and kissing my lips. I couldn't help but smiled more. This was rare and very welcomed.
"Hey, do you mind I'm trying to eat," Mingus said annoyed. I giggled Norman turned to look at him.
"I was just telling her I'd be here all day tomorrow, so she don't have to deal with your ass," he told Mingus. Mingus made a face, and they statted again.
After dinner as promised I let Norman and Mingus talk. I told Norman there was Christmas presents that needed my attention, before he got the urge to snoop. He looked at me innocently and swore he'd never. I knew him better then that though. He was impacent, as always, this way if I wrapped them, I'd know if he looked. Once safely locked in our room, in pulled out the big box I had gotten that morning. I decied I was going to wrap the things inside and then add a large bow to the top. I took out each item and laid it on the bed. Thinking how best to wrap them. I decied to wrap a few things together, and placed them all back in the box.
Next I started on to the things I had bought at the mall. Separating Mingus's and Norman's with different colors paper. I counted the gifts, Norman was in the lead so far, but I knew Mingus had more on line things comming. I could always make up for it with some gift cards.
I looked at the clock I had been in the bedroom about an hour. I was suprised Norman hadn't come to look for me. I smiled. He and Mingus must be having a very in depth talk. I decided a bath would suck up some more time, and it was rare that I even got to use the tub. I always took showers with Norman in the morning. A relaxing bath would kill time and I loved just laying around in the giant tub.
I unlocked the bedroom door so Norman could get in if he wanted. Then I checked tell bathroom carefully for Eye In The Dark. He was always popping up somewhere and scaring me. Once I was sure the bathroom was cat free, I made sure the door was shut, so he didn't wonder in. He had done that too. I had closed my eyes while relaxing once, and opening them to two green ones staring at me from the counter. I climbed in and just relaxed in my perfect bath.
I had been in the tub, no more then twenty minutes, when I heard Norman yelling for me like he had lost me. I sighed as I knew bath time was over. I quickly got out of the tub, and started drying off. Norman was in the bedroom now.
"Steph?!" He sounded like he was getting worried. I sighed, why did he always sound like I might be dying when I didn't answer him right away? I wrapped the towel around me as I did opend the bathroom door.
"Yes?" I asked. He smiled, then fround.
"Ohh, I wanted to have a bath," he winned. I giggled, shaking my head.
"You can still have one," I reminded him. He shook his head.
"Won't be the same unless you want to get back in with me," he smiled, evily. I giggled.
"What's Mingus doin?" I asked. Norman made asked face.
"Damn it!" He said, pulling me close. "How do you do that?" He asked. I raised my eyebrows wondering what he ment.
"Do what?" I aksed. He kissed me solft, slow, and it drove me crazy, and he knew it.
"Always making me forget Mingus is here. It was always the other way around, my ex's would want to do soemthing, and I'd remind them, Mingus was here. With you though, it's different, it's always different," he said lowly still holding me lovingly. I smiled.
"I don't know," I said, streching up on my tip toes to kiss him. We parted and he just held me. I loved it.
"Later, I'll show you," he said lowly. It wasn't a threat or a growle. He wasn't making it sound like a punishment, like he was trying to play, Mac. It was a sloft sweet promise, that we would be able to hold each other again soon. I smiled.
"Ok, but right now I have to get dressed," I reminded him. He sighed but let me go. I went to my clothes and looked threw them.
"Hey," Norman said, I looked up, he threw a shirt at me. I looked at it. It was one of his. I smiled, and nodded.
"Alright," I agreed. After I was dressed we went out to the living room. Mingus had put it back on sports. He looked up at us.
"Oh, thought you two would be gone longer," he said. I shook my head.
"Was that that's thought or a hope?" I giggled. He smiled.
"Ok it was a hope, so I could watch this " he said. I smiled.
"Watch it," I said, as Norman and I sat together. He smiled. I rested my head on Norman, truthfully I just wanted to be near him. He smiled as he pulled me in to his arms.
"I gotcha," he said kissing my head. He knew that I'd be asleep soon, always was in his arms. I smiled, it was like instant, I wasn't sleepy untill in was in his arms. With in about ten minutes I'm pretty sure, I was alseep. At some point I was I was woken up, by the feeling of being lifted. I looked round
"Easy, baby girl," Norman said lowly. I relaxed. As we went threw the almost dark house, except for the street lights. In New York that's that's a lot. We made it to the bed room and he set me down on the bed. I sleepily crawled to my side. I layed on my stomach watching him from the corner of my eye.
"I could have walked, " I sais lowly. Norman turned from taking his socks off and leaned down to kiss me.
"I know, just like taking care of you," he said I smiled. I kissed him again. He was quick to pull me in to his arms and pull his shirt up. I giggled.
This was by far my favorite part of the night as I let him have his way with me. The night was full of slow sweet love. Soemthing we hadn't done in a long time. Norman took his time building me up, and even longer bringing me to my finish. I loved it though, all the kissing and holding. It was perfect.
It was our third time, we were just finished when I looked out the window and could see, it was just starting to get light out. I pulled myself over to Norman as he smoked his ciggarette. He smiled happily taking me in his arms. I kissed at his lips then his cheek and his neck and chest. He chuckled.
"Baby girl, I thought you'd be warn out by now," he said butting out his ciggarette, and pulling me up to kiss my lips. I giggled.
"I am, I just love kissing you," I smiled sleepily. He smiled and claimed my lips.
"One of my favorite parts too," he agreed. I laughed as he attacked my neck and down my body.
"Alright, seriously, I'm sleepy baby," I said. He smiled.
"Mmh me too, but I'd stay awake forever just to be with you, though," he said. I smiled.
"Baby that's so sweet, but get some sleep you deserve it," I said cuddling in to his chest. He kissed my head.
"Tell me what I did to deserve you," He said, pulling me closer. I smiled, looking up at him.
"I'll let ya know as soon as I figure out what I did to deserve you," I said, kissing him. He smiled at me and we fell asleep.
The week had flown by, Norman had to go to a last minute thing which left me home with EITD. I didn't mind though, because I knew that the week coming up that he would be home all week. I was a but bummed that I couldn't get the week off with him. I had already told him it was too short of notice. He was ok with it, he promised to be home waiting for me. I loved the idea of that. Although this morning he was being extremely clingy, as I tried to get ready for work. Being so affectionate and loving. I loved evey minutes of it at the same time I was a little annoyed with it.
"Call in sick," Norman, whinned as I did my make up. I shook my head.
"We have been having this same conversation sence you woke me up this morning. I can't do that," I said finishing my make up. He stomped his foot like a child.
"Whyyyy?" He asked, pouting. I sighed.
"Baby I'm sorry, I will see you after work," I said kissing him. He pulled me back.
"How about lunch then," he smiled. I smiled, and was nervous all after the same time. I hadn't told any of the people I worked with I was in a relationship with a celebrity.
"Text me where to meet you," I smiled, trying to get away. Norman didn't let go.
"I'll pick you up," he said. I smiled.
"Ohh don't trouble yourself, I can come meet you," I said smiling. "But I really have to go," I said trying to get away from the way her was looking at me.
"Why?" He asked. I smiled.
"Because baby if I don't get to work soon they will fire me," I said. Norman was already shaking his head.
"No, why don't you want me at your work?" He asked, suspicious. I didn't blame him it sounded bad.
"Its not like that, I just didn't tell anyone I'm dating a celebrity," I sighed, I knew he thought I had a boyfriend or something at work. He smiled.
"Why?" He asked. I sighed again.
"Because, I just feel like they would treat me differently if they knew," I said. Norman nodded.
"Alright, I'll message you, but I'll meet you a block away," he agreed kissing me. I smiled kissing him back and I left. I made it to work in record time. My boss eyeing me, I smile as I rushed to my station. She was on me like Flys on honey.
"The boyfriend home?" She asked. I smiled. The most anyone got out of me about Norman, was that he was an extremely busy man. That was always working. Of course that led them to figure out he had money, and some figure out he was older. I did not confirm or deny any of this.
"Yes," I smiled trying to get myself out of trouble. She smiled.
"Well remind him that you do have a scheduled time to be here," she said. I smiled.
"I will," I said. She walked away and I breathed a sigh of relief. It was too soon though, as the girl from the next station down came over to me.
"So, the boyfriends home," she said. I nodded, we weren't friends and I wasn't fond of her. She was nosey and I guess didn't believe I had a boyfriend, I don't know.
"Yeah, he does that," I said getting ready for the day.
"Yeah, well, is he comming to the Christmas party or is he leaving again?" He asked bluntly. I sighed, I never told Norman about that, because I didn't even plan on going.
"Ohh we have plans that night, he had a party too," I lied. She smiled.
"Ohh does he?" She asked, not believing me at all.
"Yeah," I said just as rudely. A client showed up at her station, and she smiled and said good bye. I was happy to see her go. I wasn't sure what it was about me but she didn't like. I didn't care if she believed me about Norman or not. I was happy, this job was just getting me threw untill we went back to Georgia.
A couple house later, I was in the middle of an appointment, but my mind was far away, with Norman. How I wished I could have stayed home in bed with him this morning when he woke me up, with sloft sweet kisses. I sighed, the older lady in my chair laughed at me.
"Love struck," she said, I smiled.
"Am I that odvous?" I asked. She smiled.
"Yes, but it's good, I remeber being that way with my late husband," she said. I smiled.
"He's amazing," I said. She nodded.
"How long have you two been together?" She asked. I smiled.
"Four months, but we've been friends a lot longer," I said. She nodded.
"Sounds like me and my Norman," she said. Like she was remebering a fond memory. I smiled. What were the oods? Just then I was interrupted by my boss.
"Stephanie, you have a special request," she said. I looked at her funny. I had never had someone come in an request me. She pointed out my next client. I felt a million emotions run threw me. It was Norman. Of couse it was Norman. That jerk! He came here when I told him not to. He never listened to me. At the same time I was cussing him out in my head. All I wanted to do was go to him. Hug him and kiss him an and, tell him how much I missed him.
"Alright, I'll let you know when I'm done," I said going back to work. It wasn't long till I was finished with the older woman's hair and she left. Tish, the girl from thr next station over was all over Norman. I wanted punch her in the face, but smiled when I saw Norman was watching me. I walked over to him. He smiled bigger and hugged me.
"What are you doing?" I whispered. He smiled, as we parted.
"I needed a hair cut and your the only one I trust," he smiled. I rolled my eyes.
"Could have waited," I said under my breath, Norman was quick to catch it though.
"Come on, it will be fun," he said impacently heading to my chair.
"We have two different ideas of fun," I told him. He laughed. Tish was over at my station as soon as Norman sat down.
"How do you know Stephanie?" She asked. Norman smiled.
"Met her a while ago, when I heard she was in town workin' here, I had to come get my hair done," he said. I rolled my eyes. Tish watched me.
"Ohh well that's really cool," she smiled. I almost threw up.
"Tish, don't you have someone waiting?" I asked. She threw me a look, but left.
"What's wrong with her?" Norman asked. I sighed.
"She's a twit," I said moving his head back to where I needed it. He laughed.
"Why?" He asked. I sighed, no matter how many times I cut his hair, he'd never sit still.
"Honestly Reedus, your worse than a child," I sais moving his head again. "She just has something against me, that's all," I said. Norman nodded. I waited. "You seriously need to learn to sit still," I told him. He smiled.
"I'm worth it," he said. I scoffed.
"Your ear. I'm sure Greg and Robert, will enjoy that call," I said. Norman laughed.
"Daryl had an accident," he laughed. I smiled.
"Yeah he pissed off his girlfriend, no one knew he had," I laughed. Norman laughed too.
"See, they'd work it in," he said. I shook my head.
"I don't want to be responsible for the plastic surgery on your ear," I said. Norman smiled.
"Wouldn't hold it against you," he said. I sighed.
"I would," I told him. He looked at me.
"Seriously Norman," I said, knowing him and knowing when to stop cutting.
"Sorry," he said. I sighed.
"Just sit still, so I don't have to call them," I said. Norman smiled.
"I'll try," he said. I smiled. It was good enough for me, becuase in all the time I had been cutting his hair, trying was a good step.
"Alright," I agreed. Not too long after, he finnaly sat still, I finished with his hair cut. "Honestly fifty dollars for soemthing I could have done for free, you know that right?" I asked Norman. He smiled.
"Money well spent. Now can you go to lunch with me?" He asked. I sighed making a face, and looked aft the time. I was lunch time, he did get his way. I was about to say something when Tish showed up again.
"Steph, you looked like you might be having trouble with that cut. Next time sugar I'll take ya and have you done in half the time," she tried flirting with Norman. I scowled at her.
"Naw, I just don't know how to sit still. My manager's really picky too, on who I let it cut my hair," he lied, I smiled.
"Ohh," she said turning back to me. "So Steph, you sure you and your man can't come to the party? What did you say he did again?" She asked. I wanted to punch her. Norman eyed me.
"No, we really can't, and he does......" I paused, I had to "Stuff and Thangs," i said, she annoyed me, I had to get my fun in there some how. Nroamn was about reday to burst, the smIle on his face said it all. Tish turned back him.
"Ready to go?" He asked me, before she could get anything else out he wanted to laugh so bad. I smiled.
"Yeah, just let me grab my stuff," I said. Tish didn't miss a beat..
"Oh, your boyfriend don't mind you going out with other men?" She asked. I made a face at her.
"My boyfriend let's me have friends," I said annoyed. She had odviously recovered from my joke.
"Yeah, I would have lots of friends too, if my man was always a way," she said. I wanted to punch her. Norman saw my frustration.
"Actually, her boyfriend and I are good friends, told him I was comming to get a cut, then I'd bring her to him for lunch," Norman said. I smiled. Tish looked dumbfounded. I smiled bigger.
"Be right back," I said going to get my stuff, Norman nodded. I went in to the break room and grabbed my stuff. When I saw Layla, a very shy girl, her station was a couple seats down. She was looking at me. "Hi," I smiled. She was always very sweet, nothing like Tish.
"Steph," she said lowly. I smiled.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"Your that Stephanie," she said, holding up her phone. I looked at a picture of me and Norman in Georgia. I bit my lip.
"Please don't tell," I said. She shook her head.
"No, I wouldn't, I just," she looked away. I smiled.
"Come on, he's a real sweet heart," I smiled. I stopped and grabbed some paper off the table and a pen. Norman looked more then relieved to see me. I smiled.
"Ready?" he asked, I smiled.
"I am, but I couldn't help but notice someone in the break room," I smiled. Norman looked at me confused. I kinda pulled Layla beside me. "Norman, Layla. Layla, this is, well whatever you wanna call him. Murphy, Mac, Daryl, Scud," I laughed. She did too.
"Hi," she squeeked. Norman smiled and hugged her.
"Hey!" He said happily. The poor girls face turned red. I smiled.
"Let me take a picture!" I offered happily. I knew Norman loved his fans and without them, he told me a thousand times he would have nothing. I liked Layla too, so it was a plus. She happily gave me her phone and I snapped a few for her. I handed Norman the paper and he scribbled out a note. I sighed, one day maybe he'd write neater. Layla thanked us both and quickly scurried away. Norman and I left the salon, when it was it of sight he pulled me close and kissed me hard.
"You are an amazing woman," He said. I smiled.
"She had me corrnered," I laughed. He smiled.
"Yeah, she seemed like one of them crazed fans," he laughed. I smiled.
"No, but she did know who I was," I told him. He nodded.
"Don't see why your hiding it. I mean I do, but I do don't," he sighed. I shighed.
"From people like Tish," I said. He nodded. "That and I don't want special treatment, just because I'm dating you," I said. Norman nodded.
"You just want to show other special treatment by introducing them to me," he smiled. I shrugged.
"She's a sweet girl, and we have something in common. We like your acting," I said. Norman smiled.
"Oh, and I love how I do 'stuff and thangs, do I have to live in a prison and go crazy too?" He chuckled, as we reached the restrant. I giggled
"Alright, but if a baby shows up and you start chasing around your dead wife, we are over. I'm going to date the guy who drives the motorcycle and nick names the baby 'lil ass kicker," I said. He smiled. He made a face.
"I want to do that!" He whinned. I laughed. I giglged.
"Good because I'm way more in to that redneck then the cop," I said smiling. He smiled back. We found a seat, and ordered. I sighed, I would have rather just gone home for lunch, I didn't think it would have taken any more time to get there. Norman was watching me, I smiled.
"What is it?" He asked. I sighed.
"I just was thinking maybe tomorrow I can come home for lunch," I said hopeful. He smiled.
"Mmh, I don't know, I have a feeling you wouldn't be eating," he said. I smiled. I knew what he was getting at, I'd be a meal.
"I'll buy one of them meal replacment shakes so I'll have already eaten when I get there," I said finding a solution to the problem. Norman laughed and shook his head.
"No, you need real food. A little meat on your bones wouldn't kill you. I can't believe you haven't frozen to death up here," he said, picking up one of my arms and shaking it. I laughed.
"You forget when I told you I was from the North? Way more upstate, by Canada," I laughed. He smiled.
"No I didn't forget, just still amazing how you don't freez," he said. I smiled.
"Well most of the time I have a big, strong man keeping me warm," I smiled, loving the feeling of being in Norman's arms, because I was always warm. He smiled.
"I don't know about all that, he's really kinda a whimp," Norman laughed. I smiled.
"He's mine, strong or whimmpy," I smiled. Norman smiled too.
"Alright," he agreed "I'm good with that," he smiled. I smiled. We ate our meal, and it was the best lunch I had in a long time. I was sad as Norman and I were walking back to the salon. I stopped about a block away. He watched me.
" I don't want to leave you," he whimmpered. I smiled.
"Kiss me," I told him. He smiled and leaned in and kissed me hard.
"You just like distracting me," he said as I smiled up at him. I giggled.
"Yes, go find Mingus," I told him giving him a tight hug. We parted and he looked at me.
"I wanna find you, hiding under the covers," he smiled. I giggled.
"Later," I prmised, we hugged again and Norman let me go. I walked back to the salon alone, but I was happy. I had gotten to spend my lunch with Norman. I walked in and was immediately swarmed by girls. They all wanted to know how I knew Daryl Dixon, or Murphy Macmaus, or Scud, they all had a name for him. I giggled.
"I worked on one for his sets," I said keping it short. They were all envious, that I had gotten to go to lunch with him. I shook my head. "He took me to meet my boyfriend, they are long time friends," I corrected them, keeping the story straight. I returned to my chair, and Layla, a few chairs down smiled at me. She hadn't told any body anything. I was greatful. I was also glad, even though the girls knew him, she was the only true fan, that knew who he was dating. .
For the next couple house the salon was a buzz with the talk of Norman being in. I laughed to myself as the girls discussed if he was single, or married, about Mingus, his whole life. Layla did speak up at one point to a few girls and said she was pretty sure he was dating a girl from Georgia, and they were very happy together. The girls sighed, odviously unhappy with Norman's happiness. Then they started interrogating poor Layla, about how long Norman and his girlfriend had been together. I felt bad for her, but she stopped me on my way out telling me it was fine. She was just excited she got to meet him. My walk home I was sure was going to be a long one, but as soon as I was out of sighed of the salon someone was at my side.
"This day sucked! How do you wait for me all day?" Norman asked. I stopped and smiled at him.
"I think I have a stalker," I giggled. He looked around.
"Where?!" He asked excitedly. "I'll kick his ass," he said. I laughed, hugging him tightly. He took a second but held me back. "You mean me, don't you," he asked, as we hugged on the side walk. I gigged.
"Yes, I mean you," I giggled, looking up at him. He smiled..
"Do I at least rank up with Mac?" He asked. I giggled. We had started walking.
"Yes, I wouldn't resist you, either, "I laughed. He smiled.
"So when we get home?" He asked. I giggled again.
"Where's Mingus?" I asked. Norman growled.
"Damn it!" He grummbled I laughed.
"He's at the apartment?" I asked. Norman growle again. I laughed.
"How do you remeber my son, but I always forget?" He asks. I giggled.
"I'm a girl, it's in my DNA," I laughed. He looked at me.
"What is?" He asked, I giggled.
"Kids, making sure I know where they are, just kinda comes naturally," I shurgged. He smiled.
"So mothering, yeah, bet you'd be good at that," he said with a smile. We had made it to the apartment. I looked at him..
"Maybe," I shrugged, Norman opend his mouth like he was about to say something.
"Did you two decide on food?" Mingus asked. I giggled
""Did you look in the freezer?" I asked. He shrugged.
"No not use to this place having food," he said. I laughed again.
"Go look, then if you can't find anything we'll order out, but it's not good for you!" I yelled after him. I looked back at Norman.
"Did you feed him at all?" I asked with a laugh. Norman shugged.
"When does he start doing things for himself?" He asked with a lugh. I ggigled
"Never, he's a boy," I laughed. Norman made a face. I started walking to the kitchen.
"Hey, I do things for myself," he said. I giggled.
"Getting dressed doesn't count," I giggled. He made a face
"I do other things," he said. I tilted my head and made a face.
"It isn't showering because I'm in there washing your back for you every day," I laughed. Norman made a face.
"Ok, no, but I get my own food," he protested. I giggled.
"Mingus can order food too, face it baby you are taken care of all the time," I said. He smiled coming beside me.
"Then I'll keep you, you take care of me, " he laughed. I giggled.
"Ohh good at least I know I'm safe because I take care of you," I giggled. He smiled.
"Ok, I found food, but will you two stop! You making me sick!" Mingus said setting down fish on the counter. I giggled.
"See I knew you'd find something, and no. You wanted me to stay, now you have to deal with us flirting," I giggled Mingus made a face.
"I'll be in the living room, you two have fun being gross," he said walking off. I giggled.
"He's a shit," Norman said. I giggled.
"He's you," I laughed. Norman made a face.
"Is not," he said. I laughed again.
"You didn't like Travis, so you acted the same way, always bitchin about me and him," I said, I watched Norman's jaw tighten.
"He didnt deserve you," he said lowly. I walked over to him hugging him.
"The only reason he had me, was because you didn't want a relationship," I said. Norman held me close. He looked down at me and kissed me.
"Your stubborn though," he said. I giggled.
"You don't tell a girl you just wanna fuck her, well not this girl. I want everything. Your heart and your body," I told him. Norman smiled.
"You had it, from thr second you smiled, " he said pulling me tighter. "I was just, stuck with the other one, going no where, and I didnt know how to tell you," he said. I smiled kissing him.
"Don't worry baby, we made it," I said resting my head on his chest. He sighed.
"Way later then I wanted," he sighed. I smiled, looking up at him.
"What would be different of we had gotten together sooner?" I asked. Norman smiled, looking at me. I arched an eyebrow.
"Couple things," he said. I smiled.
"Like?" I was really curious, now. Norman smiled.
"How are you cooking the fish?" He asked. I couldn't believe he chaged the subject.
"I um, I was going to look up something on line," I said. What didn't he want to tell me? He kissed me..
"Want any help?" He asked. I kinda looked at him, like what the hell? Why didn't he answer me. "What?" he asked smiling holding me. I shook my head.
"Nothing, no, you go hang out with Mingus," I said. Pulling away. What had happend? What didn't happen? Why did it bother me so much that he didn't finish telling me what would be different.
"Baby girl are you ok?" He asked. We had known each other for seven months, of couse he knew when my mood changed. I sighed.
"Fine," I said picking up my phone and Googleing ways to cook the stupid fish. Norman was quick beside me pulling the phone from my hands, and pulling me into a hug.
"It doesn't matter, what would be different. I like what we have now," Norman said, kissing my head. I shighed, jerk! Always knew how to butter me up. I leaned against him.
"You always know how to make it better," I said. He smiled.
"Have to, I keep fuckin it up," he said, turning me to look at him. I smiled at him kissing him hard.
"You don't fuck it up, you just don't always say the right thing, but I don't want someone who always says the right thing," I said. Norman smiled.
"Good, because I am always saying the wrong thing," he laughed. I giggled.
"Not always, you say the right things too," I smiled. Norman was still holding me.
"Like what?" He asked. I giggled.
"Like, put the fish in the refrigerator and I'll call for Chinese," I laughed. Norman smiled and nodded.
"Baby put that fish away I'm calling for Chinese," he said. I smiled.
"Ohh thank god, I didn't want to cook," I saidon't making myour voice sound exhusted. Norman laughed.
"Rough day?" He asked getting the menu, I sighed setting down at a bar stew.
"You have no idead! First I was almost late to work, boss wants me to remind my boyfriend I can get fired," I said throwing him a look. He smiled cheesy.
"Sorry," he said. I nodded.
"Then the girl beside me wants to know, all about my boyfriend. And I'm just like go away. Then this actor feels the need to come in and make a scene," I shot him a look. He laughed. "So I have questions left and right, after lunch about how I know him," I sighed. "And to top it all, I have a stalker that felt the need to come get me after work, take me back to his apartment and make me cook for him and his son," I laid my head down on the table. "I'm exhusted," I said. Noman chucled.
"Well I'm sorry it was so rough. Next time your stalked make sure to let them know, you've had a rough day and don't want to cook," he laughed. I rolled my eyes
"Thank you, now I'm going to change you know what I want," I said getting up. Norman set down the his phone and fallowed me. "I ment food!" I yelled. He laughed.
"Damn!" He said going back to the kitchen. I laughed. I made it to the bedroom and started to change. I made it as far as getting my work clothes off, then the bed just looked so inviting I laid down. On Norman's side of the bed I was quickly, put in to a coma, it smelt like him an I was suddenly warm and sleepy. I felt soft kissed on my neck. I didn't want to move, I hadn't slept long enough to be awake yet. The kisses trailed down my body and stopped at my brest. The soft kisses turned heated and I moaned and groaned at the same time.
"Five more minutes, " I groaned. Norman stopped kissing me and came up beside me.
"Five more minutes and your food will be cold," he said. I goned again.
"I'm not hungry," I said cuddleing in to him. He quickly wrapped his arms around me.
"You know I've always loved how you don't wear any panties," he whispered in my ear. I groaned again. As he squeezed my ass.
"I know, I know, easier and faster," I said. Sitting up. He smiled up at me. "I'm up, before you do get any more ideas," I said. Norman laughed.
"if you were too tired, I'd do the work, you just got to lay there and look sexy," Norman said getting up and laying me back down so he could get to his prize. I laughed.
"Couldn't sleep five more minutes because my food would be cold, but you can do this?" I asked. Norman was kissing at my legs.
"Well, yeah," he said. I giggled.
"And Mingus?" I asked. He growled. Getting up and setting beside me.
"So close!" He said, I giggled. Getting out of the bed and finding clothes.
"So far," I said. He threw me a look.
"He will go to sleep," Norman said like I didn't know. I giggled.
"I know, then there's no where I'm safe," I laughed. He smiled, licking his lips.
"Not when you tast like that," he said licking his lips again. I giggled.
"Ok, I don't know what is so good about it," I said. Norman had kissed me after, the whole time we were dating and I had tasted myself, I just didn't understand what was so good about it. He smiled.
"Oh baby thats the tast of heaven I'm sure of it," he said as we walked out to the kitchen. I giggle, and shook my head.
"Are you two ready?" Mingus asked. I smiled.
"You waited for us? Aww, aren't you just thr sweetest!!" I smiled. He rolled his eyes.
"Dad said I had to," he said lowly. I giggled.
"I'll take it," I said. I opend the bag of food and started taking things out.
"Wait," Noman said. I looked at him. He took the food away from me. I looked at him.
"Go sit, your exhusted and I'll wait on you tonigh ," Norman said. Dishing me out food. I smiled. He slid Mingus a container. "Your sixteen, get your own," he told him. Mingus made a face. After we had all got our food, we went in to the living room. We watched a movie we all agreed on and after I was finshed eating, Norman had loaded my place way too full, but I ate what I could.I curled up beside him and fella asleep in his arms. Sometime later I was awaken, by the feeling of being picked up agian. I groaned lowly.
"I got you baby," Noeman said kissing my head. I rested it back on his shoulder. He carried me to out room and set me gently down on the bed. I wiggled over to my side stealing his pillow on the way over. "Hey!" He laughed as I cuddled with it. I smiled sheepish. He laid down beside me and kissed my nose. I giggled.
"I like your pillow it smells like you," I smiled. He chucked.
"I see and you couldn't of waited another three minutes while I got undressed and brushed my teeth?" He asked smiling. I shook my head.
"I'll keep your pillow warm while you do all that," I said snuggling closer to the pillow. Norman chuckled, again kissing me.
"Alright baby girl, you keep that warm and I'll be back," he said kissing me again. I giggled more.
"I'll be here," I yawned. He smiled. I laid waiting, I quickly wiggled out of my clothes, and cuddled under the blankets. Norman was out of the bathroom, in just boxers. I pretended to be asleep. Norma was back beside me.
"You sleepin cuddling my pillow?" He chuckled. I nodded. He chucled."How am I supose to sleep?" He asked. I opend my eyes and smiled.
"Ok," I giggled letting go of the pillow. Norman eyed me.
"What's going on?" He asked. I shugged. He pulled his pillow away from me.l, and smiling bigger. "Mmmh" he hummed. I smiled.
"What?" I asked innocently. Norman smiled.
"What are ya wearing?" He asked. I smiled, fluttering my eyes innocently. Norman smiled bigger, with one hand the blanket was pulled away from me. I smiled more, Norman licked his lips. "Desert is served," he said starting to kiss me. I giggled, and moaned.
"Normie," I cood, he smiled at me.
"What baby girl?" He asked. I sat up and pushed him down.
"I wanna take care of you," I said kissing him. He smiled up at me siding his hands up my back from my butt.
"Ok, baby," he agreed. I kissed him hard. Then we parted and I kissed at his neck, sucking and biting at it. He started grunting. I giggled as I made my way up to his ear, nipping at it.
"My baby like that?" I asked lowly. Another small growle escaped his throat. I moved my way back down to his neck, gently nipping at his thoat.
"Fuck!" He growled, I giggled kissing over his collar bone to his arms.
"These are one of my most favorite parts about you," I told him between kisses. He growled again. I giggled as I kissed his other arm a few times. " So big and strong," I said returning to his chest. Kissing all around and down his stomach. I made sure to nip at him here and there, when I thought he was becoming too quiet. I came to his boxers and I looked up at him. He was quick to lift his hips, so I could discard them. I returned to my kisses on his stomach, across his waist like. He growled louder. I giggled, moving lower. Taking his fully erect manhood in my hands. "Mmh baby this too, one of my favorite parts on you," I said, Norman growled louder as I stoked him.
"Fuck, baby, you said take care of me, not kill me," he growled. I giggled. Moving in and kissing him hard.
"I will, if you'd calm down and stop being so pushy," I said, smiling as I kissed my way back down to his awaiting member. "So big," I cood, looking up at him as I gently licked the tip. He growled lowly, as my tongue worked around his member. I swirled around the top with my tongues, before I took him in my mouth a little at a time. Slowly bobbing my headed up and down taking more in each time. Norman never broke eye contact with me. I had a fairly good rytham going, when I decided to, please him more. Norman had told me how he like when he was getting head to have his balls played with. So I did that, gently cupping them and started to play with them.
"OH FUCK," he cried as I felt hot sticky liquid, hut the back of my throat. Norman's eye's were huge, as he finished in mouth. We hadn't ever talked about it. I had told him that I had never had someone do that, a blow job was always for play. Norman liked do discuss things before they happend, that way there was no suprises, and no one got upset. I did my best to swallow all he had to offer. It was thick though and didn't go down easy. Norman finished and quickly pulled out.
"Baby girl! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to. He said in a rush. I tried again to get his release to go down.
"It's fine, just thick," I said getting up. Norman was quick to grab my hand. I smiled "I need a drink, it's not going down easy," I said. He nodded. I went in to the bathroom and chugged three cups of water, it still felt like it was stuck in my throat. I sighed. Then I wondered if he would kiss me again. I decied to just brush my teeth while I was in there, just incase. I had heard that guys didn't kiss after that. I made my way back out to him. He laid on the bed, I could tell he was upset with himself. I crawled back in beside him. He said up.
"Baby girl," I cut him off with a hard passionate kiss. He was quick to respond with his hands on my face and then tangling in my hair. We parted and I smiled. "Minty," he said. I giggled, but bit my lip.
"I didn't know, just kinda figured I should," I said lowly. He looked at me.
"What?" He asked. I sighed and tried to smile, this was kinda embarrassing.
"I've heard guys won't kiss after, that, so I just brush my teeth to make sure. I like kissing you," I said lowly, smiling. He smiled.
"Mmh, more then like kissing you, " he said leaning in and kissing me again. I giggled. " But I don't care, I mean I kiss you after all thr time and you never tell me you don't like it," he shrugged. I shrugged.
"Doesn't bother me, it's your kiss I'm after," I smiled, damn why was I so freaked shy all of a sudden. Norman pulled me in to his arms.
"Your not mad?" He asked. I smiled, and shook my head.
"Suprised, but no, aparently I did something right," I giggled. Norman chuckled, laying me down.
"One of my most favorite parts on you, is that mouth," he said kissing me, and sliding his hands up and down my sides. I moaned lowly. "That's not all though," he said kissing my neck. I smiled. He kissed down my neck over my collar bone and to my arms. "These two, always reaching for me and holding me tight," he said kissing my arm, then moving to the next one like I had. Then down to my breasrs. "You already know how I feel about these, but humor me, when I tell you they a are perfect handfulls," he said gently squeezing one, I moaned lowly. "And go perfectly in my mouth," he added, as he took the next one in his mouth and started sucking on it. I arched my back and moaned again. I loved when he took his time. Usualy we rushed, tonight I didn't care, I wanted him to take me slow, it had been way too long. Norman moved his mouth from one brest to the next and made sure to love it the same way.
"Baby," I cood. He smiled up at me, gently taking my nipple between his theeth, and bitting I softly. I was quick to react and he was happy.
"What's that baby, does it feel good?" He asked. I smiled down at him.
"So good," I cood. He smiled coming up to kiss me.
"Then you'll love this. Have you ever squirted before?" He asked between kisses. I looked up at him and shook my head.
"I don't think so," he smiled.
"You would know," he smile. "I'm going to make you squirt," he smiled. I looked at him, suspicious.
"Ok," I agreed, he chuckled.
"You face says 'help me!' But your agreeing," he smiled. "You'd agree with anything I said wouldn't you?" He asked kissing my neck. I giggled.
"I trust you, I know you'll make me feel good," I said. Norman smiled.
"Make you feel so good, you'll never want to leave this room," he said. I gigled.
"That was your plan all along," i laughed. Norman was busy leaving a trail of wet kssies down my body to respond. My giggles from his facial hair tickling me, were quickly replaced my small moans the lower he got to my center. His went on to my legs kissing them up and down. Avoiding my feet, because he knew that I didn't like them touched. On his second round of kisses he stopped just at my waiting center.
"You think your ready?" He asked. I was a sweaty mess, of course I was ready he had teasd the hell out of me for the past ten minutes. I nodded. He kissed at my thighs. "Say it," he said.
"Norman," I begged. He smiled up at me
"What baby girl?" He asked. I wimmpered. I could feel his hot breath teasing me at my entrace.
"I'm ready," I panted. He smiled.
"For what?" He asked, I growled not liking his game at all. He chuckled. "Where do you want me?" He asked.
"There!" I said. He kissed at my thighs again.
"Here?" He asked. I groaned. He smiled.
"Baby please?" I whimmpered. He smiled.
"Please, here?" He asked just above my center. I nodded..
"Yes!" I panted. He smiled, and licked his lips.
"Your so beautiful," he said as his head dipped down and kissing mouth opend. His tongue just grazed my nub. I moaned lowly. He was slow in his assult. Gently lapping at me, but never enough to penitrate me. HIs tongue would do slow circles around my nub, making me moan and try to buck my hips, but Norman held them in place in the bed. After what felt like forever, thr speed of his tounge increased and then plunged in to me. I cried out, it felt so good as he worked me. Finnaly he added his fingures as his tongue worked my nub, his fingures worked my center. I came hard, Norman took his time lapping at my juices, like he was finishing the best meal ever, and I kinda believe in his eye he was. He smiked up at me as he came in and kissed me.
"Taste so fuckin amazing," he said. I smiled, as I reached for him. I was ready to feel him inside me, I needed him there. He smiled. "Not just yet," he said as he went to the night stand and went threw it. He placed a condome on the top, but kept looking. I watched from my spot on the bed. He pulled out a fingure massaer, and smiled at me. "Make you beg for me," he told me. I watched as he slid it on the tip of his figure and gently started rubbing at my center with it.
"Mmh baby," I moaned bresthless. He watched, he was enjoying himself I could tell. His assult was working me up again good, but just when I thought it was over he reached for something else. I didn't even see him grab the small vibrater. I bit my lip, they were things I used when he was away. He smiled
"I think this will be fun," Norman said, in a low gravely voice. I looked up at him brerhless.
"Baby," I panted, he smiled, as he stuck it to my lips. I sucked on it for a moment, untill he was satisfied, then he slid it slowly from my lips. He turned it on and started it at my nub. I maoned.
"Like that?" He asked, I nodded, he gently slid it down to my center, teasing me but not putting it inside. I wanted it in there though. I whimmpered.
"Baby!" I cried out. he smiled. Teasing me a few more times up and down my slit.
"You want it inside you?" He asked. I nodded panting. He smiled. "Say it," he said.
"Put it inside me," I begged. He smiled, gently sliding it in and out of me, but turning up the speed. I maoned I could fee my release coming. "Fuck baby, Norman," I panted, he worked my center faster. Untill he seeped in and claimed my lips. I moaned loudly in his mouth. If he hadn't silance me I would have woken up the neighborhood. He pulled the device out of me and put it back on the night stand. He smiled.
"Gonna make it feel even better," he said as he put the condome on. I was exhusted, but when he slid inside me it felt so good, I couldn't help but move with him. His slow love making didn't last long though as he quickly flipped me over. I was on all fours and being penitrated again. One hand fondling my brest the other on my nub working it. I gasped as Norman's mouth was on my ear, nipping and kissing at it. "I'll be slow another night, " he growled powding in to me. Working every inch of me.
"Norman. Oh god Norman!" I cried , as this last release was comming fast and it felt different. My head was turned to his. My lips crashed into his. As I felt my center grip ahold of his member like it was trying to suffocate it. Norman grunted as he slammed in to hader and I knew he was comming as well. We rode out the amazing feeling together and when it was over. I fell on to the bed in a heap. Norman not far behind me. We laid there panting and not moving. Finnaly I heard him try to speak.
"When I can move I'll get the fan," he panted. I smiled. My arm felt like it weird a hounded pounds, bit I reached over to him, to show I heard him. Time went by and I felt eyes were losing the fight to stay opend. It was sheer will power I moved beside Norman. I didn't want to fall asleep and not be near him. He smiled at me.
"Maybe I should let you finish first more often," I giggled. Norman smiled.
"Yeah, I guess it did kinda make this hotter," he agreed. I giggled.
"I'm sleepy now baby," I told him. He pulled me closer.
"I got you baby girl," he said. I nodded, slowly, then used what strength I had to get up enough to kiss him again.
"Still one of my favorite parts," I smiled sleepily. He smiled.
"Every part on you is my favorite, because it's all mine," he said. I smiled.
"Ok, that's my answer too, I agreed. Norman chucled as I slipped off in to dream land.
The week flew by and I don't know how, but before I knew it it was Christmas. I was happy to have the day off. So happy in fact, I had let Noeman have one prestant early the night before. So when Mingus bangged on out door, at what time, I had no clue I was not ready to get up.
"Dad, put some clothes on!" He yelled, after three loud bangs. I pulled closer to Norman burried my head in his chest.
"I know baby," he said horsely. Then kissed the top of my had. "You can come back in after and go back to sleep," he said. I groaned.
"Why do I have to get up?" I whinned. Norman smiled.
"Because it's Christmas and I got you presents," he said. Kissing me. I scrunched my nose at him.
"But Christmas can't wait till, what time is it?" I asked. Norman checked his phone.
"Seven thirty-five," he said. I groaned again.
"Noon, Christmas can wait till noon," I said rolling away form him. He chuckled. I felt him get up.
"I'll bring you coffee," he said. I didn't respond, I was trying desperately to go back to sleep. It must have worked because, the next thing I remeber is Norman gently kissing my head.
"Coffe, baby," he said. I opend my eye's. I smiled up at him.
"You are the sweetest," I said reaching for him. Norman smiled and leaned down in to my arms to kiss me.
"Come on baby," Norman said. I smiled sipping my coffee, Norman took the time to grab my clothes from the floor. I kissed him again as I put the shirt on. I giggled, when I realized it was his.
"You do like the way I look in your shirts don't you?" I giggled, wiggling in to my pants, sence I refused to leave the bed. Norman smiled at me.
"You really don't want to get up," he said. I giggled.
"No it was just warmer under the blankets," I told him getting up. He smiled. I took another large sip if my coffe and we left the room. We made it out to the living room and a very unhappy Mingus.
"About time! Eye In The Dark already took down his stocking, must have been cat nip in it," Mingus shrugged going for the tree,
"Hey!" Norman yelled. Mingus stopped. "Stoking first, just because Eye In The Dark didn't want to listen," a
Norman said, Migus rolled his eyes.
"Fine," he grumbled. I giggled. This was the first time I saw Norman make Migus fallow any sort of rutine. Norman brought me mine, and I smiled at him.
"I helped you do this, I know there's candy in here," I giggled. Norman shook his head.
"You give as bout as much lip as he does, look inside!" He said. I scrunched up my face at him, but did as he said. I reached I'm stoking and found a long velvet box. I pulled it out and smiled, at Noeman. I opend a necklace with a heart and purple dimonds.
"Ohh baby! I love it," I said. Norman smiled.
"Keep looking," he said. I raised an eyebrow at him, but reached back in the stoking. I felt it, a little square velvet box. I looked at him kinda funny, but decied quickly it must be matching earings. Norman was quick to take the box away from me and open it to reveal a heart shaped dimond ring. I gasped looking up at him, as my heart stopped. He smiled bigger.
"Norman," I whispered breathless. He smiled, he was setting beside me now.
"Steph, I know I'm not perfect. I know I annoy you, but baby you are one of the best things in my life, and I wasn't to keep you. So I know it's kinda soon, but I want to make you a prmised that I'll always love you. I have sence the moment I met you," he said I was a in tears.
"Norman!" I said claiming his lips. "I love you too!" I said as we parted. He slid the ring on my fingure and I smiled again. "It's beautiful, that must have cost you a fourtune!" I said he chuckled.
"Don't worry about the cost. Just know I do love you and I'm sorry it's taken do long for me to say it," Norman said kissing me again. I smiled.
"I love you too. Baby, and don't be sorry," I smiled at him and then my amazing promise ring.
"Ok dad, she got the ring, you told her you loved her, can I open my presents now?!" Mingus asked. I giggled. Norman sat back on thr couch.
"Yes open them!" I said giggling and cuddling Norman. Mingus smiled.
"Should have asked her," he said going in for a present. "Here dad," he sais handing him one then looking again. I kinda but my lip.
"Well, I didn't buy you anything as amazing as this," I said lowly. Norman chucled.
"Don't worry! I'll love it all, because it came from you!" He said kissing me. I smiled.
"Here Steph," Mingus hnded me one. I smiled. An hour or so later, all the presents were unwrapped. We were all still sitting in the living room I was on my like fourth cup of coffee, and still feeling like I was dragging, but I smiled at Mingus and Norman.
"Who wants pancakes?" I asked. Mingus purked up.
"Me!" Mingus yelled. I smiled. I looked at Noeman who was still paying with his boob pillow. I laughed.
"Those aren't a replacement," I said taking I away. He laughed.
"I can't play with the real ones, Mingus is here," he said. I gigged.
"Do you want pancakes or should I leave you and your new girlfriend alone?" I asked. He chuckled, again.
"We want pancakes, and give her back!" He said trying to get the pillow back. I giggled an ran to the kitchen with it.
"Girly better give it back!" He growled from the other side of the bar. I giggled.
"I'm beginning to think you like her more then me!" I said. Trying not to laugh. Norman laughed.
"Ohh yes," he said shaking his head. " I love cloth and stuffing more then real boobs," he said. I giggled, as I walked over to him. He smiled holding me. "Silly woman," He said kissing me. "Nothings ever going to replace you," he said. I smiled.
"I love you," I said. He smiled.
"I love you too, been dying to tell you for ever now," he said holding me I smiled.
"Good, I thought it was just me," I said. He smiled.
"No, I did think you were going to say it a few times. Hell I know I was a few times," he said, he leaned in to kiss me hard. I smiled.
"I wanted too," I told him. He smiled.
"So fuckin adorable!" He said kissing me. "Now I think you said something about pancakes?" He asked. I giggled.
"They won't be as good as the ones at the diner," I told him he smiled.
"No they will be better, because you made them," he said.

"You have so much faith in me and a box," I laughed. He did too. I made breakfast, and Norman swore that the pancakes were better then the ones in Georga. I told him he was a kiss ass, he thought I was funny. Around noon Mingus went home, ans it left me and Noeman alone. He smiled at me as we sat on the couch watching some Christmas movie. I smiled back at him.
"Ya know, there's still presents in the other room," he said kissing at my head. I smiled.
"Yep," I said pretending to be in to the movie. Norman was quick claim my fake attention. Kissing me hard and pushing up his shirt. I giggled as he looked down at me smiling when we parted.
"Don't ignore me," he said kissing at my stomach. I giggled.
"Mmh, why not? When you respond like this I think I will," I almost moaned as his kisses got wetter and hotter.
"Come on," he said as we went to the bedroom. We kissed most of the way there and once in Norman set me on the bed. "I'll get you presents," he said going to the closet, he pulled out a bunch of bags and I giggled. I got up, once he set them down and unbarried the box, I had. His eyes widden. "Holy shit!" He laughed. I giggled.
"Well there's some stuff in here for us to share, some outfits I got to wear," I told him he smiled.
"My baby girl knows how to take care of me," he said kissing me hard. I smiled up at him.
"I try," I told him. He smiled, and kissed me again.
"Here, you first," he saI'd excitedly. I giggled as I started looking threw the bags. There were outfits of all kinds, some edibles. I giggled and held them up. "Ok so some of that might be for me too," he laughed. I smiled, massage lotions, personal massagers, I arched an eyebrow at him. He just smiled. I finished with the bags and smiled.
"Your turn!" I smiled. He chuckled. Norman looked, pulled out and looked at all the things I got him, smiling. He seemed really excited when he found some of the outfits and the stay hard gel. He arched an eyebrow.
"I assume you have an evil plan?" He asked holding it up. I smiked bigger.
