What We Kept Secret

Chapter 12

I walked out into the living room in a dress and heels. Will stopped what he was doing and his mouth nearly fell to the floor.
"Wow." Was all he was able to say
"Do I need to change? Is this to much?" I asked confused by his actions
"No... you, you look beautiful. I mean you have always been beautiful but wow." He said not able to complete form the sentence
"You dont scrub up so bad yourself." I said grabbing his tie and pulling him in to kiss me
"Lets not start this now Cher. We might not make it to our reservation." He said laughing as we pulled away from each other.
We walked out and got into his truck and drove off. We drove more into the city of New Orleans and pulled up to a nice restaurant.
"I remember you saying earlier this week your favorite food is Italian. And this is the best Italian restaurant in New Orleans." He said as we went right in and to our table.
"I made the reservation Monday morning. I knew this is how I wanted to end this perfect week with you." He said reaching over to hold my hand
"Im going to miss this." I said looking deep into his eyes
"Well Im coming up the next time. If thats alright with you?" He asked for permission
"Im holding you to that." I said never having a smile leave my face
We continued our dinner and I enjoyed every second of it. Dessert came and I ordered my favorite a tiramisu and Will ordered a cheesecake.
"So, I have something for you." He said reaching into his pocket and pulling out a small box.
"You didnt need to." I said blushing
"I did. I saw it and I was captured by its beauty just like I am captured by yours." He said as I opened it and seeing a beautiful infinity sign necklace.
"When we were shopping you stopped in front of Tiffanys and looked at that longer than most. I figured you liked it a lot." He said starting to ramble
"Will. Your rambling. I love it." I told him as I put it right on and leaned over to give him a kiss. We finished dessert and decided to walk around a little bit more before we went back home.
"So, how am I going to survive being so far from you?" He asked stopping in front of a fountain
"Well you can always visit me." I said getting lost in his eyes
"My place is always open for you darlin." He said before kissing me
"I dont want to cut this short but I think Im getting tired." I said trying to make a fake yawn believable.
"Than lets get home." He said kissing my forehead before we walked back to his truck.
The way home was silent but I was planning on how our night will really end. We walked up to the door and once it opened I automatically crushed my lips to his
"Im actually not tired." I smirked as we pulled away
"Oh really?" He questioned
I shook my head no and he pushed me up against the wall his lips never leaving mine
"Ive been wanting to do this since I first laid eyes on you." He said out of breath
I attacked his lips again as I stepped out of my heels losing a couple of inches from being face to face. His arms were wrapped around my waist and he picked me up. I wrapped my legs around him and he carried me off to the bed room. I didnt want this night to end.

I woke up the next morning with my head on his bare chest and his arm around me as he drew small circles.
"Goodmorning." He said kissing my forehead
"Morning." I smiled as I traced the tattoo of a cross over his heart.
"Last night was something." He said turning to face me and I nodded
"I dont want you to leave." He said pulling me into a deep kiss
"I dont either." I said going in for another kiss
"Im going to make you breakfast in bed. Stay here." He said getting out of bed and putting on gym shorts
"Can you pass me a shirt?" I asked sitting up and holding the sheet close to my body.
He threw me his "lucky" SMU shirt he called it and went to make breakfast. As I laid and waited for him my phone rang for what seemed like the first time this whole trip.
"Hello." I said picking it up
"Girls night tomorrow?" Garcia asked fast
"Uhh sure." I said trying to hold my smile as Will walked back in with coffee.
"I will pick you up at six. Bye." She said hanging up
"Who was that?" He asked laughing
"Penelope. She our tech analyst." I said grabbing the cup and taking a sip. One thing Will was perfect at making was my coffee every morning.

We spent the day in each others arms and when it was finally time to leave I was not wanting to step on the plane with out him. The flight back was terrible and I felt like a part of me was missing. I get back into my apartment and the first thing I did was pull out my phone and called the long distance number.
"Hello." My southern voice answered
"I miss you." I said smiling at his voice.
