Fireproof: Phoenix

Thanksgiving

NOW, SINCE I LIVE IN THE UK, I THEREFORE DON'T CELEBRATE THANKSGIVING BUT THOUGHT I'D SLIP THIS IN AS A FILLER CHAPTER. PLUS, I THINK THE CHAPTER IS REALLY CUTE

Phoenix POV

"Jesse, stop it!" I shrieked as I ran from him. We were helping my mom prepare Thanksgiving dinner and she'd left us in charge of making pumpkin spice cupcakes while she had a rest as she'd been awake since 5am. I had two flour handprints over my boobs and if I was wearing a light-coloured top then it wouldn't matter but the t-shirt I was wearing was black so the flour was definitely noticeable.

In retaliation, I smacked his butt creating a white handprint on his dark jeans.

It didn't take us long before we got into a full-on flour fight. Luckily, we'd already finished making the cupcakes, they were just in the oven now.

We were covered in the white powder – we'd have to get changed and cleaned up before dinner – and I let out a mixture of a scream and a giggle when he grabbed me by my waist. He lifted me up and spun me round slightly making me cry out in a fit of uncontrollable laughter. Once he put me down, I turned to face him with a grin on my face and he chuckled at the sight of my flour covered body before slamming me against the wall, he tapped the tip of my nose with his index finger and then feasted on my mouth.

Dinner was delicious.

Tasha and their mom, Louisa, had dinner with us too, and mother and son caught up on what they'd been up to in the past six years since they'd spoken.

Now, Jesse and I were lay on the couch, tangled up in each other while everyone watched a movie and drank beer. I looked up at Jesse while he was playing with my hair – since I had it cut and dyed last week, he'd become even more obsessed with it.

"What are you thankful for this year?" Without putting even a second of thought behind it, he replied in just one word that had butterflies fluttering in my stomach.

"You."

Amber and Fender – yes, Jesse named one of the puppies after his guitar – were huddled up at our side while Sapphire was lay with Sky and Blue. The other two puppies had gone to their new homes shortly after my birthday.

"What about you?" He asked softly as he ran his thumb along my bottom lip before tilting my head up with his index finger beneath my chin.

"Definitely the puppies." I answered, deciding to fúck with him. I giggled as Fender lifted his head and licked my foot.

"Oh really?" Jesse asked making me return my attention to him rather than the puppy who was licking my toes.

He kissed me and I smirked against his mouth then refused to open for him when he teased my lips with the tip of his tongue making him growl. He flipped me onto my back, tore his mouth from mine and tickled me.

The dogs barked as I screamed with laughter.

"Jesse no! Stop it! I can't breathe!" After several long seconds, Jesse finally stopped and looked down at me with laughter sparkling in his eyes along with a smile curved onto his mouth. His breathing was heavy, as was mine.

"You sure you don't want to answer that question again?" I smiled up at him, lifted myself up onto my elbows and brushed my mouth against his.

"You shouldn't have even had to ask that question in the first place. Of course it's you."

Then he kissed me again.

SORRY THAT THIS IS ONLY SHORT. THE NEXT ONE WILL BE A LITTLE LONGER BUT STILL ONLY SHORT AS IT'S ANOTHER FILLER - THIS TIME FOR CHRISTMAS.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE EVE EVE EVE EVE
