Day 2 – December 15th

RPOV

It's now day two of my little twelve day gift-fest and I decide to tell my babe what I am going to be up to for the next 11 days when I present her with today's little trinket. I have the box all ready as I head to her office to surprise her. She is sitting in front of her computer diligently typing away, looking for the scumbags we hunt down. I see her rub the back of her neck before she looks up realizing I'm there.

"Hey Batman, what can I do for you?" She asks.

I give her a small smile as I tell her, "Later. Now is all about what I am going to do for you for the next 11 days."

"What do you mean the next 11 days?"

"Here, start by opening this, then I'll explain." I tell her as I hand her the next gift. It is wrapped in glossy black paper and adorned with a silver ribbon and bow. She takes the package from my hands with a curious look.

"I love it when you get all mysterious on me Carlos." She says as she begins to unwrap the present. She looks up at me with wistful tears in her eyes when she sees what I have chosen for today. In the box is a silver 8 x 10 picture frame with the word "someday" engraved on it across the bottom and in the top two corners are engraved the letters "C" and "S". The frame contains a candid black and white photo of us holding each other right after one of our special "alley" kisses. The look of love is clearly apparent and seen in both our eyes.

"Wow," she sniffles. "This is such a beautiful picture of us. Where did you get it?"

"Lester snuck it a few months ago with his cell phone and thought that now was a good time to finally share it with us." I chuckled.

"Well I'm glad he did. Remind me to give him a big hug and a kiss next time I see him." She grins.

"Not too big, he may be family, but I share with no-one!" I snarl. "Now the explanation, you will be receiving a different gift from me for the next ten days until the last one on Christmas Day, just little tokens of my undying love and devotion to you. Enjoy!" I say as I kiss her lips tenderly then turn to go back to my office for the rest of the day.

I can hear her whisper as I walk away. "I will and I love you too, Carlos!"

Day 3 – December 16th

'I am one lucky woman', I think to myself as I stand in line at my favorite bakery "The Tasty Pastry". I look down at the gift certificate in my hand for a dozen free Boston Creams and I have 51 more of the same thing at home now. Carlos' gift for today was 52 weeks of a dozen free Boston Creams. This man truly knows my weakness, Boston Creams, pineapple upside-down cake, ok let's face it, ANY cake, and him! The lady behind the counter boxes up my dozen pieces of Heaven and I head out the door to the bond's office. Hey, I'll share! I think to myself 'I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!'
