I didn’t realize until I pulled in the driveway how nervous I a her that I have a surprise for her was the understatehts of our lives, and I just pray to God I don’t fuck it up

Jules grabs her handbag and I pull the large suitcase containing both of our clothes for the weekend out of the backseat and join her on the porch, unlock the door, and follow her inside

The rental company I use to care for the house in our absence has been here like I requested, and I take a quick look around There is a fire burning in the fireplace, the logs not burned too far down, tellingroo dishes on the counter with our dinner being kept war on the couch and turns to look at me, her pretty eyes wide and her mouth dropped

"What is this?" she asks

"I kneouldn’t want to cook" I shrug, pretending that it’s no big deal

"More of your h

"Yes, my minions"

I leave the suitcase at the foot of the stairs, planning to carry it up later, and flip on the sound systeend starts to croon out of the speakers

Jules has walked over to the fireplace, looking at the fla off her beautiful blonde hair and pale skin, and I can’t resist her I wrap my arms around her fro her in

"You are so sexy, Julianne"

"Hmm," she murmurs "You’re not so bad yourself, ace"

I smile at her silly nickname for me, then kiss her soft neck "Come on, let’s eat"

"Okay"

We pile our plates full of delicious-s pasta and white sauce, salad and bread and I open a bottle of her favorite chane

"Wow, you went all out"

"Wait till you see what’s for dessert," I respond

"Chocolate cheesecake?" she asks with a grin

"You guessed it," I respond You so did not guess it, baby

Goddamn it I’m nervous I’ne into flutes and we sit at the table to eat

"To you," I hold lass in the air and she follows suit "The most beautiful woman in the world"

"I’ll drink to that," she winks and sips her chane and I can’t help but chuckle at her

When our food is consumed, Jules jurab onto her and pull her on rin, and says, "Wait here I’ll be right back"
