Finding You

A Year

"How will you ever top the next anniversary?" I ask as our hands slide together. Bradley kisses it softly before laying them on his chest and looking at me.

"More sex, a bigger house, and jewelry." He smile and I shake my head.

"How about a vacation? We turn off our phones and computers and just relax." I sigh and he nods.

"I'm saving that for the third anniversary."

"Oh, there's gonna be a third?" I raise an eyebrow playfully. He lets my hand go before rolling on top of me.

"You think you're getting out of this that easy?" He asks and I smile. I reach up and touch his face, my thumbs lightly grazing his cheeks. I love you more than I'll ever be able to say, Bradley. My sweet, handsome, love.

"There is not a single place I would rather be." I whisper and he looks relieved.

"I love you Natalie." He kisses me before I can say anything back. His arms wrap around me and slowly pull me up, our lips never leaving each other.

"What're you doing?" I laugh as he reaches back, straining to reach the bedside table.

"This was supposed to be romantic." He groans before completely leaning down and reaching over to pull out a rectangular box. "This is for you." He hands it to me and I look down at it.

"We promised no gifts." I remind him and he shrugs. It's okay, I lied too.

"Then it's not a gift. It's a bribe." I roll my eyes.

"What do you want?" I ask and he breathes out, thinking.

"I want you, naked and waiting, all day." I blush and roll my eyes.

"That's already part of the plan, you goof."

"Then, I want you to open that box and never take those off." I smile and pull the lid off the box. Inside there are tiny, simple diamond studs that will be perfect for my second hole.

"Bradley, This is too much." I place my hand over my heart and he grabs it, placing it over his.

"There's not enough money in the world that would be sufficient to show you how much I love you."

"You are perfect. So perfect." I whisper and kiss him softly.

"Now, what did you get me?" He asks and I smile.

"Nothing." I smirk and he shakes his head.

"Liar." That talented tongue is distracting as he slowly says the singular word.

"I don't know what you're talking about." I smile.

"Sure you don't."

"But if I did get you something, it would be something that you would actually use everyday."

"So it's in my filming room?" He asks and I raise my eyebrows.

"I don't know. Why don't we go see?" I stand up and pull my shorts back on, grabbing a shirt and slipping it on.

"Put them in." He tells me and I grab the box, replacing my cheap, fake earrings for the new ones. Oh, they're so beautiful. So shiny. So sparkly. "My god." He says and I blush.

"That's enough of me." I shoo him to the filming room and he opens the door and stops. "It's not much..." I fold my hands together as he looks around. I made him promise me no gaming yesterday. So when he went to work our with his trainer, Jordan and I rearranged and revamped his filming room and made it more into a studio. The desk is now higher since he likes to play standing sometimes but we managed to find a comfy chair for when he wants to sit.

"Natalie, this is amazing. This is...wow. You did this?" He turns to me and I blush.

"With a little help of course." I watch him take in everything. The new desk, chair, and rug, all where his computer sits. Then on the other side, the love seat, the other rug, and a fun chair. Then the accent wall with all his plaques and awards, the new bookshelf for all his disc games and cubes at the bottom for storage.

"How did you manage to do all of this right under my nose?" He asks in shock.

"Most of the furniture that could be built somewhere else, was built at Collin's and stored in his garage. Then, when you were out yesterday running errands and working out, we got everything in here and set up. It took lots of prep and measuring beforehand so we could have everything set up in minimal time. Thankfully, you call me when you're on your way home so that gave me plenty of time to get everyone out and the house picked back up." It was an elaborate plan that we all somehow pulled off. I owe Jordan and Collin and even Thomas for all of their help.

"Do you have any other talents I should know about?" He smiles and I shake my head.

"I think you know the rest."

"I am so in love with you, you know that?" He asks and I smile.

"I had a hunch." I hold my hands out to him and he pulls me to his chest.

"You are something else, Natalie." He kisses my head and we stand cuddled to one another for a moment.
