April Fools(3)

I blushed and looked away, "Thank you."

"You're even more beautiful when you blush."

I turned around so that I was facing him, "Are you purposely trying to make me swoon?"

"That depends, is it working?"

I laughed, "Yes."

"Then no, I'm not trying at all. It's all natural charm."

"Well be careful, you'll burn out at this rate."

"Baby, I could keep going all night long."

I raised my eyebrow, "I might have to test you on that one."

"We've got all day together tomorrow, just saying."

Before I could reply, there was a knock at the front door. Isaac licked his lips, "Mmmmm, the pizza's here." He kissed me on the forehead and turned to walk out.

"Isaac?"

"Yeah?" he asked, turning back around.

"Please don't make that sound in front of the poor pizza woman."

He chuckled before walking out.





Chapter Two

After stuffing our faces with pizza, we were relaxing on the sofa with a bottle of wine. I hadn't realised how hungry I had actually been.

"Can I ask you something?"

I smirked, "I don't need another bath...yet."

He laughed, "I'm only asking this because I'm trying to be responsible..."

"Go on."

"I know you're an intelligent girl but are you on the pill?"

"Oh, so now you want to be responsible? It's a little too late for that. No I'm not, I assumed that by not wearing a condom you wanted to be my baby daddy."

He grinned, "I do but I also want you to graduate and have a career first."

I cocked my head to one side, "Have you thought about this before?"

"I'm in love with you, of course I've thought about it. Any guy who denies it are liars or are with the wrong person."

I grinned like a complete idiot, "Well yes, I'm on the pill. Luckily, I carry them in my bag so they weren't destroyed in the fire."

"So mini Isaac's can wait for now."

"I don't know if the world could handle mini Isaac's."

"Hey, why not?"

"They would probably be heartbreakers just like their Dad."

His mouth fell open, "I don't break hearts! If anybody's a heartbreaker, then it's you."

"What did I do?"

"Look at you acting all innocent."

"I'm not acting, I am innocent."

"What about the stockroom?" he asked.

"What about the stockroom?" I shot back.

"Is that your idea of being innocent?"

"You kidnapped me, remember?"

"And you rubbed up against my leg, remember?" I rolled my eyes and he laughed, "That night was all your fault, you came in wearing a long white dress. What was I supposed to do?"

"What did my dress have to do with it?"

"You may as well have worn a veil to match. You're lucky I didn't kidnap you for real and take you to Vegas."

I narrowed my eyes, "So that's why you were so angry that night?"

"I wasn't angry, I was upset. Everything that I'd ever wanted was being flaunted in my face and I didn't know what to do. I thought that I'd lost you for good."

"Hence the kidnapping?"

"Hence the kidnapping. Desperate times call for desperate measures."

I laughed, "Even though you scared the shit out of me, I'm kind of glad I chose to wear that dress now."

"Because you know how much it tortured me?"

"No, because it led us to this moment."

He nodded, "That night was a turning point for me. When I looked into your eyes, I knew that I hadn't lost you."

My heart fluttered at how true his words were. I had been lost but Isaac never lost me, not once. "Eleven days" I whispered.

His eyes twinkled with emotion, "Eleven days" he repeated "...until I get to kiss the shit out of you in public."

"Oh no, are we going to be one of those annoying PDA couples?"

He nodded, "It's happening."

I rested my head against his chest and listened to his heartbeat. There was no place I would rather be.





Chapter Three

"Are we nearly there yet?" I asked for the hundredth time.

He grinned, "Are you trying to annoy me on purpose?"

"That depends, is it working?"

"Yes."

"Then yes, I'm doing it on purpose. I could never be this annoying unless I tried really, really hard."

"Well for the record, it was actually kind of cute the first fifteen times you asked."

I shrugged, "I wasn't even trying to be cute, that was all me."

He chuckled, "Of course it was. And the answer is yes, we're nearly there."

About ten minutes later, we turned down a road marked as private.

"It's okay if you're lost." I pointed to the sat nav, "I don't trust her, her voice is creepy."
