My Only Love

Chapter 33

Kate was in her room seeing her reflection in the mirror. There was a glow in her. Her face flushed. Her eyes expectant. Excited. She was wearing a light floral playsuit that showed off her legs making her look sexy at the same time with a slightly demure effect. She even French braided her hair with just a wisp of her bangs on the forehead. A touch of powder and light lip gloss did the trick. Looking fresh and youthful.

It was her Sunday's with Nate. One that she looked forward to once a week. Some part of her missed him so much. Even their only day together seem so short now. But there was something about today. She just felt a special feeling about today that warmed her inside. It was even bright and sunny. She just wanted to be outdoors with her best friend.

The doorbell rang as if on cue. She checked herself up for the nth time. Liking what she saw as she opened the door with Nate grinning at her with a slow whistle escaping from his lips.

Wow! He grinned boyishly I wished all girls like you would always open the door. Hi beautiful. He gazed admiringly at her. Taking in her shapely legs and the way the playsuit fitted the contours of her body making her feelself conscious all of a sudden yet enjoying Nate's compliment.

He hugged her then as she was swept into his arms. Nate was all warm and fuzzy. His light after shower scent coupled with his aftershave intoxicated her. It felt wonderful to be in his arms.

Hmmm love hugging you. He said softly with a tender tone in his voice

She giggled then. Not too much now or I might be tempted not to let go of you too. She teased back not trusting her voice enjoying the nearness of Nate.

And make all my wishes come true. Nate replied back as they reluctantly released each other with both their eyes shining smiling at each other.

Walah I've also come bringing breakfast bagels with cream cheese, eclairs for your mom and he paused dramatically flowers for my Katie. Nate said smiling as he presented it to her with a flourish.

Kate could only feel touch at Nate's thoughtfulness. They were 3 pink roses in the box. The dew on the roses still moist looking as fresh as ever. It had been a long time since he had brought her flowers. It had stopped ever since she and Ryan were together. She looked at him then his ocean blue eyes happy wearing a light yellow vneck cotton t-shirt faded jeans and a light denim jacket. He was dressed casually but Kate was still overwhelmed how good looking he was. He was all man as his shirt clung to him exposing his muscular chest beneath the jacket.

She turned to him instead. Loving his thoughtfulness.

It's beautiful she remarked. It's been a long time you haven't given me flowers. Makes it more special.

Why three? She teased him playfully. It could only be just one rose.

Nate laughed looking a little bit embarrassed. There was still a shyness to him sometimes that touched Kate.

There I miss you flowers. I miss you Kate. He said it so simply but the gentleness of his eyes said it all. All his love for her was still there for her to see. Never fading in spite of the fact that he knew she was with Ryan

Their gazes locked. She too felt that same way that moment. How excited she always felt with Nate. How his words touch her heart in ways she can never imagine and just by looking at him made her insides grow weak.

I don't know what to say she admitted. I'm speechless for once. No retorts from me.

You don't have to say anything. Just tell me you like it or better yet say miss me even a little? His gaze was hopeful. His ocean blue eyes beyond his long lashes looked expectant.
