After the Business Trip

Chapter 12

A/N:  I kept getting interrupted while I was writing this chapter, so I hope that it doesn't come out all choppy.  Thanks for being patient and waiting for the updates.  Hopefully, they will come more regularly now until the end of the story.  :)

Here is another chapter and I hope you enjoy it. 

Ae POV

I still can't believe how cute Pete was at lunch today. I never dreamt that he would respond like that to a kiss. If I could, I would have snatched him up right there and kiss him all over his face. However, though, he dashed away.

I didn't say anything to Max and Fei.  Instead, I gathered our stuff and I left the cafeteria. I had to figure out what I'm going to make for Pete tonight when he gets home. I'm sure that he will probably be late, but we may get luckily, and he can come home early. So, whatever I fix, I need something that can stay in the pan or in the oven on low until who knows when. Well, there are a few things that come to mind, but I want to try something different. Now, what should I fix?

Once I get to my car, I sit for a moment while I scan the internet looking for some good recipe ideas. I'm sure that there is something that is perfect for tonight.

After about ten minutes, I find something that is perfect. A smile happily pops onto my face, and I chime, "Yes. This is exactly what I'm looking for." I put my phone to the side, and I start my car. Within minutes, I'm at the store buying the ingredients. Oh, I can't forget a couple bottles of wine and the candles.

I ignore the looks that I'm getting as I walk through the store and smile. I still can't believe that I'm here, but I'm not leaving anytime soon.  Pete is the best thing has come into my life.

As I head up to the cashier to check-out, I happen to walk past the section where the condoms and lubes are at, and I hesitate for a second. However, as I look at the variety there, I realize that I'm not going to rush anything. Plus, I have a sneaking suspicion that the package that Pond gave me when I left home to come to be with Pete has something like that in it.

I chuckle to myself as I remember that his only instructions were to open it only when Pete and I are to take that next step in our relationship. I don't even to wonder what it is. This is Pond that I'm talking about. He only thinks of one thing when he isn't watching porn.

I shake my head and I walk past the section. However, in the back of my mind, I can't help but to wonder if Pete will be ready soon to take our relationship to that next step. We have done many things, but we have yet to go all the way. I'm not going to rush Pete, but I'm not going to lie and say that I don't want to have all of him. Shoot, I dream about us making wild and passionate love.

Oh, I have to stop thinking about this. I shake my head again to clear my mind. I have a meal to prepare for Pete and hopefully, I can make it a little romantic in the process too.

I continue on my way to the cashier, as I glance down at the time on phone. Oh, I need to hurry up. I have a lot to do beside getting the food ready for tonight.

Once, I get back home. Yes, I'm already thinking of Pete's apartment as our apartment and my home. Well, technically, I think of any place that Pete is living as my home. This is so not like me. I would have never thought that before I met Pete, but he has changed me.

I need to wait a little bit before I make the meal. Instead, I decide to clean up a little and get some of the other things up. I first head to his closet and I hope that I can find a nice tablecloth. As I walk towards the closet, I run through the list of other things that I need to get ready.
