You Can't Force Love <3 Ch 13

Vanessa's POV

I woke up to my alarm at six. I didn't have one nightmare last night! I feel refreshed and like I've never slept so good in my life! Maybe Gage is the perfect remedy. I hurried and got ready taking a shower then putting on old T-shirt and jeans. I did my make-up lightly and hair in a messy ponytail. I ran downstairs and started making stacks of french toast for the whole family. I roasted a pot of coffee and soon Gage, Jack, and Marie made their way downstairs. Alex of course was sleeping in since it is summer.

"Vanessa this smells delicious." Marie said.

"I agree." Gage said kissing my cheek.

We all sat down and ate.

"That was very good Vanessa. Thank you." Jack said while getting up and grabbing his brief case.

"Anytime." I responded.

I walked over and cleaned up the kitchen and started to load the bed of the truck with the gallons of paint and supplies. I was walking back for my third time to see Gage walking out with an arm full.

"Oh hey." I said smiling and grabbing what was left.

"Hey." He said with a grin.

I shut the door and climbed into my seat.

"All ready?" Gage asked.

"I think." I said.

"When is Clara coming and the furniture getting delivered?" He questioned.

"Clara will be there at eight thirty and the furniture she be delivered around twelve to five. Their is furniture being delivered from a couple different stores so I tried to schedule them so they wouldn't over lap each other. Minimize the chaos you know?" I said.

"That's a really great idea! It'll be easier that way." Gage said.

Just then my phone rang.

"Hello?" I said.

"Hey Nessa. I was thinking and If we stay too late then I can't drive home. Parental regulation. So I thought we should just stay the night and then we could do a few more coats the next morning. If it doesn't work that's cool but I was just wondering." Clara said very fast.

"No! That's a great Idea I haven't had a sleep over in ages! Except I wont have a blanket or pillow. Let me just check with Gage really quick." I said setting the phone down.

Gage looked at me with wonder in eyes.

"Gage would it be okay if we spent the night at the house?" I asked.

"That would be fine. It's yours now so whatever is cool. I can bring you a sleeping, bag and pillow when I get off work." He said so sweetly.

"You would?" I asked.

"Of course!" He said. I thought.

"Could you bring me a set of PJ's and clothes too?" I asked shyly.

I hated asking people for things. I don't know why. I just always have.

"Not a problem." He said with a reassuring smile.

"Okay." I said smiling.

"Thank you!" I said hugging him while we were at a stoplight.

"Your welcome." He said with a big smile.

"I'll do anything for my girl." He said.

I felt giddy. I didn't want to be like every other girl but he said I was 'his girl', his. I realized Clara was on the still on the phone.
