Something About You

STEF'S POV

"Hey, baby, what's up?" Lena picked up her phone on the first ring. I was beyond excited to talk to her tonight about the fact that I'd got a promotion, but I just couldn't wait.

I smiled through the phone. "I did it, love. I did it!"

"Oh my god. I'm so proud of you, baby!" She squealed on the phone.

"Do you know what I'm talking about?" I asked her, a little confused.

"Well, didn't you just get promoted?" My girlfriend assumed, and since that's all we've been talking about for the last few days. I was pretty confident about it but trying to contain my hopes so I wouldn't get disappointed in case it didn't happen.

"Yesss, I did!! I'll tell you more about it tonight. I'll get pizza on the way so we can celebrate tonight, how's that sound?"

"Sounds like I'll get the wine," she chuckled eat my enthusiasm and I was so fucking happy.

"Baby, you won't believe how amazing it was. Holy shit I can't even-"

"Honey, I have to go now, I'm sorry. But I'll bring the wine and we can celebrate it properly. Lena style." My girlfriend said seductively.

"Lena style? Does Lena style mean that-" I asked, feeling seduced already.

"You'll see. Really gotta go now," she said.

"Love you," I said and we hung up.

I couldn't wait to ger home tonight. We were so ready to celebrate because I was working so hard for so long and that had gotten in the way of our lives together. But Lena's been so supportive of me... I needed to do something for her.

So I decided to spend the rest of my lunch hour looking for a gift for Lena. I decided to go with jewelry because I knew her taste in jewelry quite well. So I went to a store and found her a pretty bracelet - which was also pretty expensive.

"Got us a bottle of red. Love you 💘☺️" was the text I received from her a little after I left our favorite pizza place with two giant pizzas in my hand.

"I'm on my way home. Got us way too much pizza. ❣️" I texted back.

Sooner rather than later, I pulled up into our garage and got out of the car, with pizzas in hand and Lena's bracelet box hidden inside my blazer.

As soon as I opened the door, I spotted my girlfriend grinning at me and two seconds later, she jumped on me and wrapped her legs around my waist. Luckily, I'd already put the pizza boxes on the counter.

She showered me with quick kisses on my neck, cheeks and, finally, lips. "I'm so so proud of you!"

"I love you so much," I said, tears coming to my eyes because I was unbelievably happy. Even more so in this moment.

"You look beautiful. So profissional. This blazer..." Lena said, her eyes filled with lust.

"Love, you saw me this morning. I looked exactly like this," I chuckled, completely uncomfortable with the beauty compliment.

"Yes, but when you left this morning you didn't have this promotion glow."

I laughed. Promotion glow! I couldn't help it. "Well, as much as I enjoy the staring, I'm gonna go get changed. Be comfy like you," I said, looking at her basic white T-shirt and pair of - very - short shorts.

I did as I said and when I came back to our living room, Lena handed me a glass of red wine.

"Thanks, love." I said, grabbing it from her hand with a smile.
