Chapter 1
Nell woke up to find Eric not sleeping beside her. A note was laying on the pillow next to hers.
Good morning, my Funny Valentine. I know it's not Valentine's Day. I don't care.
Happy Anniversary. I went to get breakfast. We can start the day off right. BBS.
-Eric
Eric and Nell were celebrating the two year anniversary of their undercover assignment at the couple's retreat. It was at that point that they realized that it was time for them to step up and move forward as a couple.
Nell suddenly heard the door open. From the bedroom doorway, she saw Eric put a bag of food on the counter and do a little dance. He hummed as he moved. Nell nearly laughed when she realized the tune he was humming was "Can't Stop the Feeling!"
"Yoo hoo"', she interrupted.
"Ah", yelled a startled Eric.
"Hey", he said.
"Hey", she replied with a big smile on her face.
"So uh, how long have you been standing there?"
"Long enough." Nell walked slowly towards him. "I enjoyed the little show, Mr. Timberlake." Her smile grew bigger.
"That song was playing at the coffee shop and I couldn't get it out of my hea…" Nell interrupted him with a sweet kiss.
"Happy Anniversary."
"Happy Anniversary", replied Eric.
"So, what did you get", asked Nell.
"I got us some scones. You can never go wrong with scones."
"No indeed", agreed Nell.
After eating their delicious scones, Nell went to the couch as Eric threw out the garage.
"What's on the agenda for tonight, Beale", asked Nell.
Eric joined her on the couch.
"We are going to that new Mexican restaurant that you've been wanting to check out. Then, I thought we'd go to my place. How does that sound?"
"What awaits us there", asked Nell.
"That, my lady, is for you to wait and find out. Patience is a virtue you know."
"I think." Nell pulled him in for a passionate kiss.
"I'm glad you that you seem to like the plan", said Eric.
"And they say guys don't pay attention", replied Nell with a flirtatious wink. "I might have a surprise for you."
"Really?" Eric had a gigantic grin on his face. "I suppose I have to wait for tonight."
"Well, patience is a virtue", replied Nell, echoing Eric's words. They both laughed and leaned in for a couple of quick kisses. This soon turned into a full make-out session. They laid on the couch enjoying how well their lips and tongues melded together, Eric's phone buzzed, forcing them to pull away.
"Duty calls". Said Eric sad that their intimate moment had to end. "I must admit that this anniversary is off to a pretty good start."
"I definitely concur, my lord." Nell flashed Eric a big smile. The day was only just beginning.
