She was breathtaking. He knew he was bias because she was his wife. But god she was gorgeous. He was late, he promised her he would be home before nine and it was currently, glancing down at his watch, one thirty. He was late and that is why he is in this predicament right now. She was fast asleep on their bed. Wearing nothing but a deep purple thong that made her smooth mocha skin pop. Loose curls were sprawled all over her face. She was indeed a sleeping beauty. He was a very lucky man. He couldn't find it in himself to wake her up. So, he quietly grabbed a pair of boxers from the drawer and went to the spare bedroom to take his shower. About halfway through his shower he realized her had forgotten his shampoo. Lucky enough for him his wife keeps the spare bathroom stocked. He sifted through the options Carol's daughter black vanilla shampoo and a matching conditioner or Shea moisturizer hair growth. He made a mental pro and con list and decided that he would use carols daughter. His hair grew rather fast and didn't need any assistance in that department. He put a dime size amount of the shampoo on his hand and rubbed them together. He inhaled the scent it smelled heavenly. He ran it through his hair and did the exact same thing with the conditioner. He quickly finished up and dried off. He slipped his boxers back on and went back to his room.

Liv was still fast asleep. When he left, she was lying on her stomach, but it seems she shifted in her sleep. She now was now on her back. Her arms and legged spread out as much as they could possibly be. Her breast was both at full display. Which returned him to his earlier thought. "My god you are perfect". He laughed to himself before snapping a picture of her sleepless form. The next part has never been fun for him. He had to wake her up.

He turned the lamp on so he could turn the main light off. He did his whole routine, making sure her slippers were at the right spot, setting the glass of water on her bedside table and double checked that the closet door was closed. Once all that was done, I plugged in my phone and went to get in bed.

"Livvie" I called out her name gently in hopes not to frighten her. She didn't move. "Baby come on you gotta wake up" I shook her slightly.

"mhmmm' was all I got in response. "Fine I will move you myself" I said letting out a small laugh. I gently placed o arm underneath her legs and the other supported her head. The second I Lifted her off the bed her eyes drifted open.

"Hi"

My eyes clashed with her brown orbs

"Hi"

She snuggled her head into my bear chest. I walked over to her side of the bed. And placed her down. She groaned in displeasure. "Come back I'm cold"

"if you had clothes on you wouldn't be so cold' I countered back as I kissed her on the forehead. I went to my side of the bed and pulled the covers back. I wasn't in the bed for all of two seconds before she spoke. "Wait I don't want to sleep in this" she said referring to the thong. 'Well than take it off".

She huffed "I'm too tired will you take them off please?"

I thought she was kidding but then I saw the pout she had on her lips. "you know I used to think it would be fun marrying someone substantially younger than I" I got out of the bed and walked over to her. "Hey, I am fun to be married too Mr., I come home on time and don't break promises" she had him there.

"I know I am really sorry about that I got caught up with work I had a call from Chi- "

"Shh I was just kidding now take this off me" "Anything for you pretty lady" I hooked my thumbs in both sides of the thong and pulled them off her slowly. I threw them in the hamper. "Anything else before I get into bed"

"umm…. Yes, can you turn the fan on then I promise I will leave you alone"

I gave her a glare "You just complained you were cod and now you want the fan on? You make no sense you do realize that"

"you and I both know that your body heat burns me up at night if you plan on actually staying on your side of the bed then you don't have to turn on the fan" she said matter of factly.

"Fine ill turn It on" he said just above a whisper "You want me to grab you a shirt?"

"No but I want you to come to bed" he didn't argue with that. He got into bed and they slid together like the opposites of a magnet.

She snuggled her face into his neck and inhaled. She inhaled again and still wasn't satisfied she kept inhaling.

"Olivia what are you doing?" he asked laughing. "Why do you smell like that? You smell *inhale* different *inhale* like *inhale* I can't pinpoint it. *inhales* cream, not that's not right *inhales* Carmel *No is it cake *Dammit no its not *inhales* its..."

"vanilla" he says helping her out.

*inhales* why do you smell like vanilla? *inhales*

"Would you quit that?"

"oh yeah sorry"

When it finally seemed like she had dropped the matter and was going to sleep he closed his eyes.

"Fitz why do you smell like vanilla?"

"I though you were tired?"

"I was but then my husband who said he would be home at nine came home at one in the morning smelling like vanilla. So, I am no longer tired." He opened his eyes and looked at her. She still had her eyes closed but he could tell by the lines in her foreheads that she was about to cry.

Thinking on the situation he went about this all the wrong way and he does seam a little shady.

"liv look at me" she didn't open her eyes.

"Livvie?"

She opened her eyes at the nickname

"I love you and only you. I promise you that I was working. Okay?"

She was crying now

"Please don't cry" he pulled her closer into his side

"you were sleeping when I got home, I didn't want to wake you, so I took a shower in the guest bathroom. Except your dummy of a husband forgot his shampoo so he had to use what was in there. Guess what kind?"

"Vanilla" she laughs out

"Vanilla" he repeats

"I'm sorry" she whispers suddenly feeling ashamed

"Don't be I would be suspicious too. I promise to call if I am going to be later then I suspect."

"you don't have to rally I was overreacting"

"you weren't Liv, I will call"
"Okay"

"I love you Olivia Carolyn Grant"

"I love you too Fitzgerald Thomas Grant"
and with that they both fell into a blissful sleep. Little did they know that their lives would forever be changed.

Liv Pov

I was the first one awake which wasn't a surprise. We were tucked together impossibly close. One hand was wrapped on my boob and the other was tucked between my thighs. I laughed to myself he was so possessive and didn't even know it. I turned carefully in his hold, so I didn't wake him. He looked so handsome when he slept. He looked handsome when he breathed but there was something about how peaceful he looked when he slept. His worry lines were gone, and he just looked perfect.

"Quit staring" his deep baritone voice scared her causing her to jump. A smile graced his face

"It isn't funny you ass" she swatted at his chest.

"Hey potty mouth watch it" he joked

She smiled and snuggled into his chest. "What are we doing today?" he asked pulling her somehow closer.

"Nothing stay home all-day watch reruns and order take out?" He simply nodded his head and looked down at her.

His blue eyes momentarily freezing her in place. Before she knew what, she was doing her lips were attacking his. It took him a moment to respond but when he did their tongues battled for dominance.

Then the shrieking from the doorbell disrupted there moment. She pulled back and laughed "I'll get it" she gave him a quick peck on the lips before getting out of the bed. she walked out the room and down the hallway. "Olivia Grant" she laughed "Yes Mr., Grant: she called from the hallway. "Get that ass back in here and throw a shirt on".

She walked back in the room with a Cheshire grin on her face. "Sorry I forgot" she said innocently. "Sure, you did" she slipped on his old navy t shirt and made her way downstairs.

She opened the door without looking through the peep hole.

"hewwo my wame is Lillain Jane Grant. Im wooking for my waaddy. Fizzerald Gwant wa wird"

"Fitz!"
