Chapter 7

I slide my dress back on and sit back in his lap. Leaning into him, we just watch the fire for a while, neither of us speaking. Finally he asks "What are you thinking about?" I snuggle closer to him and say "Just thinking about all the nights sitting out here alone talking to you. I honestly never thought it would go farther than us talking." I tell him. "Why not?" he asked as he runs his fingers up and down my side. "All the times you asked about meeting and I put it off? I honestly was scared you'd give up on me." I tell him. "Never crossed my mind." he says. "Really?" I asked. "Really." he says. "Something about that first night talking to you. You made me laugh and to be honest, I was in a bad spot when I call you. I didn't want to be alone. That's why I was calling. I wanted someone to be there with me but then I got you and you made me laugh. I thought about you all night that night. Wondering what you were like. What you looked like. That's why I texted you the next morning." he told me. "I was sitting here alone every night. Hating myself. The night you called, I thought about you too. Thought about how we laughed and how easy it was to talk to you. It was a nice surprise when I woke up to that text. Gonna miss waking up to those texts in the morning but I get to wake up next to you so that's better." I tell him. "Way better. But I'm still calling you my Princess and tell you how beautiful you are." he tells me. I look up at him and he kisses me softly. "I think sitting out here each night with you might be my new favorite thing to do." I say. "You mean other than sex right?" he asked. "Oh yeah. Other than sex." I tell him laughing.

We put out the fire and head inside for the night. Climbing into bed, he hovers over me and makes love to me again before pulling me into his side and me falling asleep in his arms. Waking up the next morning, we get up and both head into work and I see Kara as I walk in. "How was your night?" I asked. "Fan-fucking-tastic. What about yours?" she asked. "Mine was good. We sat out on the deck and connected before going to bed and doing it again." I tell her. "I bet you did." she says. "Yeah, like your man kept his hands to himself." I tell her laughing. "Hell no he didn't." she says before heading to her desk.

Halfway through the day, there's a delivery of gladiolus and they are brought to my desk. Kara walks over smiling. Looking at the card it says Just wanted to how my beautiful Princess how much I love her. Love your cabana boy. I show her the card and she starts laughing. I pick up the phone and send a text.

R: I love you I love you I love you

J: I see you got my flowers.

R: How did you know those were my favorites?

J: Took a guess. Glad you like them.

R: I honestly don't know what I did to deserve you.

J: Baby, I'm the one wondering that.

R: I gotta get back to work but I wanted to say thank you. I love you.

J: I love you too. See you at home.

At the end of the day, I head home and walk in the door to Juice in the kitchen cooking. "Babe, I was going to cook." I tell him. "I know but I got home a little early and thought I'd surprise you." he says. I walk over and kiss him. "Where's your flowers?" he asked. "I left them on my desk so all the other ladies could see how perfect my man is." I say before kissing him deeply. "I love you Juan." I say. "I love you too Princess." he says softly.
