Between spending time with my mother on our days off and working at the gym whenever we both can make it in, we haven’t had much of the quiet time that we both enjoy so much.
Today’s been an extremely long day for the both of us so I’m desperately waiting for her to make her way back into my damn arms so I can take care of her.
I look down at my phone to see that Meadow should be arriving any second and my heart starts racing with excitement.
This woman manages to make my heart race every damn day that we’re together and that’s a feeling that I’m not used to. That’s how I know just how special she is.
The headlights of her truck shine on the rock that I’m sitting on, letting me know that she’s arrived.
Smiling, I stand up and light the single candle on the cupcake, making my way to her as she steps out of her truck looking completely exhausted and worn down.
Her eyes light up the minute she sees what I’m holding. “God, you’re the sweetest.” She runs at me, throwing her arms around my neck.
I hold the cupcake at a safe distance from her and press my face into her hair and whisper,” Happy birthday, baby. I feel like crap that I didn’t know until last week. There’s a whole batch of these ugly frosted fuckers that I attempted to bake for you at home. Clearly, I need to stick to cooking and not baking.”
She cries into my neck where she places a gentle kiss. “It’s beautiful. This means so much to me.”
When she pulls away from my neck, I dip my thumb into the frosting and then wipe it across her bottom lip. “This looks so much better on you.”
I pull her frosted lip into my mouth, sucking off all the blue, before kissing her and then pulling off my leather jacket to drape it over her shoulders.
She laughs and then smashes the cupcake into my mouth, before tossing it aside and kissing me so damn hard that I almost lose my balance.
“This is one of the nicest things anyone has done for me. Why must you keep making me fall for you more and more each day?”
Picking her up, I wrap her legs around my waist and start walking back over to the rock to set her down. “Because you’re worth it.”
I jump onto the rock behind Meadow, just like the first night I brought her here, pulling her close to me.
My arms wrapped around her.
Her between my thighs.
No words are exchanged.
We just sit here.
Both lost in thought.
Everything else in the world forgotten for the moment as we sit here, staring up at the sky.
Just two people enjoying each other’s comfort for a while.
I have a feeling that I’m never going to want to let her go . . .
The End
