I sniffled and said, “Normally I only cry when I’m really upset but now?” I pointed to my face and to the tears that just didn’t seem to want to stop “These are all happy tears”
“Let’s get you inside”
I took his hand and let him lead inside the beautiful little house He went in a side door that opened into a bright and sunny mudroo washer and dryer with cabinets for storage and a little sink The walls were a soft yellow adding to cheerfulness The floor in here was tiled Jonathon and I reh the rest of the house
The flooring ide plank hardwood stained in a dark but glossy finish It felt smooth under my feet The kitchen was a descent size with beautiful dark wood cabinets, Jonathon knew that I didn’t like light wood, and gray counter tops made out of a material I wasn’t falass All the appliances were stainless steel and there was a huge farushed over The backsplash was long white tiles that created a sleek e house The island had a raised portion where two stools were butted up against it A large light hung above the island spotlighting the large vase of white tulips there
Jonathon tugged me on the ar all the meals I could make He led me into the foyer, which looked up into the second story, a large lantern hung down adding to the beach cottage feel of the place He pulled me into the family room that had one wall of s, unlike Gabriel’s whole house Like I had thought, theoverlooked the ocean and had a private stretch of beach A dock stretched out into the water with a gazebo and a large boat
“Is that our boat?” I asked
“Yes,” he chuckled “I always did enjoy the water and I thought what the hell, I bought a beach house, I ht as well buy a boat”
“Oh, of course Why not buy a massive boat?” I threw my hands in the air
He chuckled I plunked e navy and red pillows There was a dark navy knit blanket draped over the couch and a large leather ottoman to put your feet up on There was a fireplace where a low fire was blazing and large TV Large white built in bookshelves, loaded with all kinds of books, , in blues and reds, defined the space Little boats, anchors, and ropes added to the nautical beach house theme Jonathon settled down next to me
“You really do like it?”
“I love it,” I snuggled against his rock hard side I was so used to the cold temperature of his skin that I barely felt it anyht a house”
“Well, we can’t live with my aunt and uncle forever can we? We’re married now I think we deserve our own place”
“But ill still see them won’t we?” I asked
“Of course,” he chuckled “We’re going back to Roraduation”
“Oh, I had forgotten about that,” I mumbled We had already been our honeymoon for almost a month but it felt like we had just left In a week and a handful of days we’d have to end our honeyo I never wanted my honeymoon to end It was too perfect
