The Weekend (On Hold)

Chapter Eight

Alec...

"How's your food, baby?" I ask Nani and she finishes sipping her wine before wiping her mouth

"It's good, thank you." She smiles bashfully and I smirk a bit. Reaching for my own wine, I take a sip and gaze around the quiet restaurant. "How's work been going?" She questions me so I let my eyes travel back over to her.

"It's' been great, I got a shop opening up in Paris next week." I nod my head and she places her fork back in her plate.

"Oh, baby! That's great!" She smiles and I nod as our waitress comes up to us.

"Is everything okay?" She asks, a sweet smile on her face.

"Yes, everything is perfect thank you." I give her my killer smile and she blushes before nodding her head and walking off

"I'll be out of the country for about a week, starting in a couple of days." I inform my wife and she swirls her wine around the glass, a pout on her pretty lips. "Oh, Nani... darling it's okay." I say softly as I place my glass down.

"I know... I just hate it when you leave." She complains and I reach for her hand.

"I'll be back before you know it, and tonight I'll give you something special before I prepare to leave tomorrow... okay?" I ask gently and she blushes, looking at  me through her thick lashes.

"Okay..." She agrees and I smile, picking up my wine and finishing it. I keep the empty glass in my hand as I watch her finish the rest of her food. When she's finished our waiter offers us desert, I pass, insisting I'll get mine when we return home, and Nani orders a mini chocolate lava cake.

"You'll get yours when you get home?" Nani furrows her brows at me, making me lick my lips.

"Yes I will... unless you want me to eat it here..." I trail off as I kick her heeled foot lightly to the side, causing her legs to spread under the table. She blushes a deep red, sending me a quick but quiet 'quit it'. Laughing I reach down, pick up her leg and place it in my lap as we wait for her desert to arrive. I unstrap her heel and set it beside me before massaging the bottom of her foot with my thumbs. "Why're you so damn beautiful?" I ask in a whisper and she flushes again. 

"Stop flattering me..." She says quietly and I bite into my bottom lip.

A few minutes later her cake is placed in front of her and the check in front of me. I glance at the bill seeing how much I owe then grab my wallet. I place the money for the bill aside then put an extra twenty in the middle of the table

"I'm going to do handle this." She nods and digs into her sweet as I begin to stand from the my seat. After settling the bill, I wait for Nani to finish and once she does we head out. Luckily the ride home is short, allowing us to be back home by eleven.

"Thank you..." I quietly thank our nanny and she smiles as she slips on her jacket.

"No problem, she was a sweetheart as always. Have a good night." She says before dismissing herself. I lock the front door behind her, secure the gate and make my way into the living room. I pick my sleeping daughter up from the couch and carry her up the stairs to her room. I get her nice and snug into her princess bedding before switching on her night light. Exiting the room, I leave the door cracked before walking to my own. I catch Nani slipping out of her dress and bite my lip, shutting the door behind me.

She goes to take off her heels but I grip her waist and set her on the bed, shaking my head at her.

'    "Keep them on... I love the way they dig into my shoulders when you try to run away from this tongue..." I grumble huskily as I place my forehead on hers. She sucks in a breath and grips my shoulders, squeezing them lightly. Kissing the corner of her lips, I grip her right breast, giving it a squeeze. "You wet, babe?"I mumble against her cheek and she nods, running her hands through my curls.
