Wow

I sray eyes

"This is where I do the obligatory ‘you shouldn’t have’" I kiss hiatory ‘but I wanted to’" He grins, delighted withhim close He’s come to be so precious to me in such a short time Or has he always meant this much to me and I just couldn’t admit it to myself?

"Thank you, so much" I whisper

"You’re welcome I wanted to send you flowers, but it wouldn’t be appropriate here"

Oh, that’s right! No wonder

"I understand This is a very generous gift" I nuzzle his chest and hug hiht," he murmurs and kisses my hair

"What?" I pull back and look up at hirateful If memory serves, you hate that quality in Natalie"

Oh Darateful I’ain "I have a et whatever you want"

I grin and jump up and down in excitehs, a full out belly laugh, kisses o back to work Holy shit, so this is how Natalie felt when Luke treated us to a day of shopping for her birthday No, Natalie hated it

I’e the front door closed behind s fros onto the bed

I did good

Nate was very generous today

I didn’t go crazy I replaced the underwear he ripped, and bought some extra because they are sexy and will most likely meet the same fate the lacy panties of ed on a couple of pretty nightgowns, and the rest is a hot, black leather jacket, shoes and handbags

Oh, the shoes and handbags

Two pairs of Blaniks and one pair of Jiotwallet

He really shouldn’t have

I laugh as I pull everything out of the bags and put the has a tiny wrapped box in it, tied with a red bow and I hug ift was paid for by me, of course

I hear reet my man

"Hi," I smile up at his beautiful face He’s let his hair down – yue bouquet of red roses in one hand and a white plastic bag full of food in the other

"Hi, gorgeous These are for you"
