If I run

Chapter 23 (Abigail)

"Collin, you messed up your hair again... I swear your as bad as the boys" I said scolding him fixing his hair and he smirked at me "now I know why you love me" he said playfully "oh yes that's why, congratulations you cracked the 3 year old mystery" I said smirking back at him "hey you have to be nice to me tonight" he said "Collin when am I not the loving caring wife you wanted?" I asked sarcastically "when you tell at me because I mess up my hair" he said and I slapped him lightly "your impossible" I said finishing his hair and as I walked away his slapped my ass playfully and I whipped around and he got a scared look on his face and he looked as though he was ready to beg for mercy and I started to laugh and I kissed him "come on, we'll be late for our reservation" I said pulling him out the door of our house. we live outside of Paris by a few minutes, I still model and he still writes. we adopted our first son two years ago after we were married and our second son a year ago. "are you worried about Alex and Jack?" he asked looking at me as I kept checking my phone "no" I lied and he laughed "I'm sure Kitty and Keith can take care of them along with their own son" he said "I know, in just worried Jack is still so little and Alex isn't much older" I said "calm down, this is our anniversary we are going to have a wonderful night ended with wonderful sex and then we will bring the boys back home" he said pulling into a parking lot and we walked into an Indian Food restaurant, because according to Collin I love this food... which I do, but he's not allowed to know he's right... "have I ever told you how much I love you?" he asked randomly and I gave him a weird look "yes every single day" I said "is there something wrong?" I asked confused "well I just remember you once said that you hated I love you's and I miss you's because their used to much" he said eating a samosa "oh Collin, I didn't mean it like that, I love you no matter how many times you or I say it, it will always have meaning. I meant it as there are plenty of people who say it just to string people along... but your not one of those people and I know every time you say I love you, you mean it" I said and his worried expression disappeared "that's what I needed to hear" he said smiling, we finished eating and drove back to our house and... had sex, there's no way to sugar coat it and I wouldn't want to... "Collin get a move on we have to pick the boys up" I said throwing him his pants "I'm coming" he said "well I'm sorry but you dress so slowly" I said "well I'm sorry I can't change in five seconds like you" he said and then just sat down on the bed "Collin what's wrong?" I asked sitting next to him "do you ever regret marrying me?" he asked "no of course not... Collin where is all this coming from?" I asked "I don't know call it a mid life crisis" he said and I laughed "Your only 29" I said fixing his tie and he smiled "are you having another writers block?" I asked "probably, I just can't finish the book and it stresses me out and I'm exhausted from taking care of the kids when your gone during the day" he said and I hugged him "why don't you get ready for bed while I go get the boys and you can sleep, tomorrow I don't have any shoots or meetings and you can just sleep" I said and he smiled kissing me "I need that" he said walking to the closet... I was gone from the house almost everyday for periods of time depending on shoots and Tom and I started our own fashion line called "Tommy and Abby" and I have meetings and draw up designs for new products and Collins always writing his books and then with the kids... I understand that he's exhausted I am to but once they grow up a little bit more it will be easier.... I just know it will. I drove to Keith and Kitty's house which was five minutes away from ours and I walked in "so how was it... where's Collin?" kitty asked opening the door "he's at home sleeping... it was great, its nice to just have some us time... thanks for watching the kids" I said picking Alex up who was 2 years ok and Jack who was 8 months old "no problem" kitty said as I walked out "how was it Alex?" I asked "fun!" he said and I laughed, I love these little boys so much... just like I love Collin. I put them in bed before crawling into bed with my sound asleep husband next to me. "I love you" he whispered and I turned to look at him "I thought you were asleep" I said "well I found that we've been sleeping together for so long I can't really without you next to me" he said and my heart melted "I love you" I said and he smirked "I know"....... I now honestly can say I love that smirk of his
