Chapter 14 ~ Immensely

It's Patton's birthday next week so I'm on town to look for a present.  I left him in bed this morning with a note telling him where I am.  Right now I wish I was there with him in his arms, but I love Patton enough to go outside for him.  I hear my phone vibrate in my pocket.

Thanks for the note, babe.  I'll see you soon xxx

I send a few kisses in reply and shove my phone back in my pocket as a I walk towards the card shop.  I push my hood down as I enter the shop, heading to the birthday card section.

Happy 3rd birthday.  No.
Happy birthday to a beautiful daughter.  No.
Happy birthday Daddy.  N- Well.... no.

I eventually find a happy birthday to the best boyfriend card that I'm happy with.  The older woman at the counter gives me a strange look, and I stare at the floor awkwardly, trying to prevent myself from yelling 'PEOPLE ARE GAY, JANET' at her. 

Before leaving town I find a board game called 'Truth Bombs', chocolates and book of terrible Dad jokes that I already regret buying as soon as i leave the store. 

I try to sneak back into the house so I can hide the gifts.  I open the door as quietly as I can to see all the lights off and the house in complete silence.  Oh.  Did he go home?  I hide the presents in a cupboard near the front door and head upstairs.  I open the bedroom door to find it empty, the bed made, bless him, quiet with the lights off.  I sigh and throw my keys on a bedside table.
"BOO!"  I jump out of my skin as Patton leaps out from the closet and grabs me from behind, and I giggle as he lifts me into the air, holding me tight to his chest.  "Did you miss me?"  he whispers in me ear, putting me down.
"Immensely"  I whisper back, before turning in his arms and kissing him hard. I pull back, my arms on his shoulders.
"Ugh, I really should go home and get more stuff, I'm running out of clothes"  He says sadly, and I pout at him.  "I'm sorry baby, I'll be back soon!" He says, smiling at me with sympathetic eyes.  I have an idea.  I never want to come home to a house without him ever again.
"What if you brought all of your stuff here?"  I ask him sweetly.  He looks confused.
"What do you mean?" He asks with a smile.
"Patton, will you move in with me?"  His face lights up, he laughs as he pulls me into his chest.  I step back, looking into his eyes before grabbing his face between my hands and crushing our lips together.  When the kiss ends, he keeps his head close to mine, whispering into my ear.
"Of course I will, Virge.  I love you."
"I love you too."
