Chapter 17

(Jennifer)

I tiptoe down the stairs and find Nick in the kitchen. "Jennifer." Damn, I was trying to be quiet. "Nick." I reply, making him turn around. "You look....nice." He sounds like he wants to say more. "You think?" I innocently pull the side of my pale-peach silky nightgown up, revealing more of my thigh. "So, what is it that you're cooking?" I release the silky fabric in my hand. It drops back down to right above knee length. "It's a surprise." He says, still flustered. "Hmm.... okay. I guess I'll go wait in the living room then." I smirk at him. I walk to the living room and sit down on the couch. The TV is already on. It's on the news channel. I flip through the channels until I find my favorite, Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

After who knows how long, Nick walks in. "It's done." He points to the kitchen. "Great, let's eat then." I walk right past him to the kitchen. I find two plates with chicken risotto, smaller plates with chocolate cake, and cups with unidentified liquids in them on the table. "I didn't know you could cook this good." I mumble, sitting down in one of the chairs. He sit across from me and I take a bite of my risotto. We eat in silence, mostly because I'm too busy eating. "Do you wanna watch a movie after we're done?" I take a sip of my drink. It's water. "Yeah, what do you wanna watch?" I take a bite of my cake. It's good. "I don't know. Why don't you pick tonight?" I suggest, picking at my cake with my fork. "Okay." He agrees. "Okay." I repeat with a small smile.

I stand by our bed, waiting for Nick to put the movie in. I don't know why I'm standing. I run my fingers over my bump. This dress is really loose, but short. That's an unexpected combination. "You okay?" Nick asks, looking at me from where he's laying on our bed. "Yeah." I lay down next to him. I didn't even notice he moved. The movie starts and I curl up next to him. He wraps his arm around my waist and pulls my legs across his lap with the other hand. "Nick!" I giggle. "Shh I'm watching the movie." He looks at the TV. I press my face into his chest laughing.

Halfway through the movie I get up and go get a drink. When I return he's changing to a sitting position and turned the lamp on. I stand in the doorway and take a sip of my water, not in a hurry to get back in bed. I set my glass on the dresser and slowly walk over to the bed. "So, you like my nightgown?" I pull up the side far enough to see my underwear, it's white and lacy. He doesn't take his eyes off me. "Wanna stop the movie and go to bed?" I take the remote off the bed. He nods and I turn it off. I climb onto the bed as gracefully as I can and climb onto his lap. I start kissing him and he puts his hands on my thighs, holding me down. We kiss until I'm out of breath. Then he slowly moves his hand under my nightgown and up my back. I wrap my arms around him and he pulls my dress off easily. Then I pull his shirt off and I have to get off him so he can take his pants off. I lay down next to him and he quickly climbs on top of me, he takes the rest of my clothes off and his then he kisses me slowly moving from my lips to my chest.

I lay with my body tangled up with his and gently stroke his hair. "I love you." I say, scratching behind his ear, then back up. "Love you too." He looks up at me with his beautiful blue eyes.
