Mozzafiato

Am I a WASP Yet?

Waking up to the sound of my alarm, I peer over at the sleeping man next to me. His adorable mess of curls covering his forehead as Elk snores by his feet. Careful not to move the bed too much, I slide out to go shower and shower. Padding out to the kitchen, I fill the dog's food bowl and pressed start on my coffee pot before moseying into my shower and getting started.

After showering and doing my hair to its normal perfection, I tighten my silk robe and head to the kitchen to get the now finished coffee. Seeing the previously sleeping man shirtless with his back to me in front of the pot, I wrap my arms around him to get his attention. 

"Good morning, Darling" He hums out, his morning voice raspy as he turns around and hands me a poured cuppa. "Morning, what time are we leaving?" I ask, meeting his sleepy eyes and smiling. "We will leave at 12 to get on the plane" He replies, nodding towards the cloth that read 11:15 am. "Shit, I need to get dressed!" I insist, rushing to my closet to find a casual outfit for our short outing. 

After throwing on a quick, casual but chic outfit, Harry and I climb in the car and head to the airport. "Are you excited?" Harry asks once we board the plane. "Incredibly, I think it's the one" I reply, flipping through my emails on my laptop. "I get that feeling too, let's see" He hums as we take off and we're on our way to our potential future summer home. The idea that was becoming a reality opened my eyes in the last few hours. 

Sure, this was just a summer home, we were keeping the aging home Harry inherited that I treasured so, but it was the thought that the idea was a reality, and so would Harry and I's wedding, and then our kids, and so on. The thought blew my mind and made butterflies rise in my chest in a flutter. Stepping off the plane, Harry offers me his hand and leads me to the SUV he rented for our trip as he wants to "See what it's like to drive to our home". 

About forty-five minutes out of town into the lovely woods of Lake Tahoe, the houses security gates greet us, the guard waves us through and we head down the tree-lined driveway to the home that was creeping into view. "Oh, babe" I slightly moan, taking in the gorgeous house ahead of us, earning a chuckle from Harry. Walking into the warmly lit entryway, we were met by a couple who were the realtors on the house.

"I presume you're the Styles?" The man asks, earning a nod from me as Harry gives him a yes. "Great, I'm Robert and this is Adeline, shall we get started?" He asks, tilting his heads towards what I assume is the kitchen. "Let's" Harry replies, linking his hand with mine as the man leads the way. 

"So, the way we do this is we'll show you the place, then we'll let you walk around it and talk. Sound good?" The wife, Adeline asks. "Perfect to me!" I exclaim, turning my attention to the large kitchen. "Perfect for you" Harry hums, knowing I had a knack for cooking like him, but I was too busy making sex eyes at the beautiful kitchen that was open to the large living room. 

Continuing around the first level, we saw the guest bed and bath, the laundry, the two offices, and the gym. Heading down to the basement, there were two beds and baths down there as well as a large living room and a small kitchenette and a bar in the living room.

 Ending upstairs, we saw the master bed and bath, the final other bed and bath as well as the bigger living room up there with a terrace overlooking the lake. After heading outside, we saw the hot tub on the deck, a fire ring, and the boathouse on the lake with its dock.

"And that's it! You saw the garage when you arrived so we will leave you two to chat" Adeline said with a smile as she and her husband head up to the house. "So, what do you think?" Harry hummed, leaning himself against the boathouse that contained a change room and a sauna. "I honestly think this is the one for us" I say, staring up at the lit house that shone out against the dark sky. 

"Good to hear, because we bought it" He replies, a cheeky smile on his face, showing off his dimples as he swings a keychain with a single key and a tag that reads "Home" on it. "You didn't" I reply in disbelief. "I did, baby. I had Robert and Adeline show it as a normal house so I could surprise you" He says, pulling me in and planting a kiss on my lips. "We officially own a summer home, am I a wasp now" I giggle, his large arms wrapping around my body snuggly.
