The next week I was still getting used to have a boyfriend around. We texted most of the times. He drove me to and from the work. And I made breakfast and dinner for him daily. We watched true crime and reality shows alternatively.
On Friday morning he seemed to be on a good mood. He was whistling when I made breakfast.
"Are you ok? I know it's Friday and weekend is almost here, so we can be cheerful. But you seem a little extra happy today. What's the occasion?"
"I was waiting for you to ask. You remember? I wanted to take you camping for our first date but I didn't get the permit at the last minute".
I nodded my head and asked him to continue.
"I found a campsite a little further away from the city and want to take you there this weekend. You want to go?"
"Heck yeah! I love camping. I have always went alone but I want to go with you now"
"Pack your bags today baby, we can leave tomorrow morning. After your saturday sleep-in of course"
I just smiled and kissed him to show my appreciation. We sneaked in few kisses here and there but didn't have time to have a full-on make out session until now.
His kisses were soft and sweet at first but when I opened my mouth it became frantic. He used his tongue to explore my mouth and I forgot my name there.
I had to leave for office in few minutes and I had half the mind to call in sick today. No one would mind, right? But Dean said he had to take care of an important business today.
I thought of asking Dean to check the time but immediately abandoned that thought as his lips moved to my neck. Now I forgot the place I lived. Were we even on Earth? My mind floated on zero gravity.
Dean was kissing my neck with a force that would actually leave a hickey. Bye bye, my V-neck sweater. I might have to wear some collar shirt. Speaking of shirt, when did my hand go inside of his shirt?
I didn't notice that, but well, I wouldn't remove it even if I was held at gun point. When I touched his abs he took a sharp breath and stopped his heavenly work on my neck and looked into my eyes.
Suddenly I was so aware of my hands and felt so shy to remove them and so awkward to keep them there.
"Uhh, I didn't know you went to the gym". Sue me, I couldn't think of anything clever now.
He burst out laughing and I removed my hands from under his shirt, clearly embarrassed.
"Baby, I am sorry. But you always crack me up. I didn't expect for you to say anything like that".
I was laughing a little myself relieved that he enjoyed my quirkiness, which is a translation for filter-less mouth.
"And to answer your question, yes, I go to gym whenever I get time. I want to take care of my health. You can come with me if you want".
"Sure, sure" I was still flustered.
He looked embarassed now. "About that, I didn't know what I was thinking. I wanted to kiss you and hold you tighter. I have, um, never done that with anyone. Please tell me if you are not comfortable with anything".
"What? Oh, m-me too. I would not feel uncomfortable with you. I was also not thinking, certainly not about your abs. I mean stomach. No, I mean your body. Ugh, it sounds creepy, doesn't it?"
"No, baby. As I have already said, you need not be shy to show your desire, not with me. Sorry to leave a mark, though". He touched my neck lightly and I shivered at the memory of his lips on the same spot.
"You don't look sorry" I playfully swatted his hands.
"Right, I am somewhat proud of my work. So that people would know you are taken"
"Ooh, didn't take you for the type to mark your territory", I teased.
"Just kidding, baby. Do you want to change your shirt? I can help you with that". He threw in a wink.
"Jerk. Wait here. I will change my shirt. We are already late and I don't want to miss half day of work" I sighed dramatically.
He laughed and I went in to change my shirt. I admired his work in the mirror and hoped my collar shirt would cover that because I could just imagine Rose's scream.
The scream was louder than the one I imagined. Because it came from Rose who was joined by George. Safe to say my shirt collar didn't do a very good job in covering up the evidence.
"Spill the beans, now", Rose used the voice which meant business. So I spilled, after some cuts, of course. I couldn't tell her or anyone about the angel thing.
Rose sighed dreamily. "Your wait was worth it. You found the one, finally".
George was nodding his head. "So glad you found someone, man. Congratulations"
"Thanks. I would like to introduce you guys. But we are going camping this weekend, so I will ask him when he will be free next week".
"Ooh, camping. Sounds naughty! Finish that hickey business, will ya?" Rose wouldn't give up opportunities to tease me. I blushed on cue. "Stop it, Rose. It is not a hickey, just a mosquito bite" I tried to lie my way out of it.
"Yeah, I have seen the mosquito bites, trust me. Looks like this big mosquito is named Dean. On a serious note, I can't wait to go on double dates".
"I would not want to interfere on your dates" It was my turn to tease.
"Oh shut up! You know what I mean". Rose was quick to respond.
"Haha ok Rose. I will ask Dean". I would be genuinely happy if we can all hang out.
A/N: Did you like Dean's way of taking ownership? ;)
When you are happy, the world looks beautiful, doesn't it? :)
YOU can make it happen just by being yourself!
