Going for a ride(2)
Waverly wasn't sure if she had heard correctly what Nicole had just said. She looked Nicole in the eyes and asked: "What? There is another surprise?" Nicole began to smile and wrapped her arms tighter around Waverly.
"Yes… There is another surprise for you. But we'll have to walk a bit. It's not far away, don't worry."
Waverly's face lighted up and she kissed Nicole softly on her lips.
"Is my calendar wrong and I missed my birthday?"
"No!", Nicole laughed. "Your calendar is perfectly right. I've seen it this morning."
"How do I deserve you, Baby?" Waverly placed her head against Nicole's chest and closed her eyes while hugging her beautiful girlfriend.
Nicole put her hand on Waverly's head and started stroking her hair.
"Well today is not your birthday but I thought I should show you how much you mean to me. Waves, I've never really thought about love and relationships in general. I've always just jumped in without thinking about the future or anything else. When someone told me, that you just felt it when someone was your perfect match to complete you, I always smiled and said I don't believe in such soppy stuff." She pulled Waverly away to look into her beautiful brown eyes.
"But when I met you at Shorty's, I understood what they had been talking about all along. From the very first moment I wanted to be a part of your life, as a lover or as a friend, it didn't matter to me. You are my perfect match. You are the one I want to come home to after a long day at the station. Waves, you complete me. Only with you I feel alive and strong."
Waverly's eyes filled with tears. Never in her life had she heard such beautiful and touching words before. She felt exactly the same about Nicole. But in this moment she wasn't able to speak. She looked at Nicole and hoped that she could just see in her eyes that she loved her and that she shared her emotions.
She lifted her head and kissed her with all of her heart. It started softly and slowly but quickly turned into something devotional (?). Waverly's tongue searched for Nicole's and found it fast. After a few moments they both separated from each other still holding each other tight.
Nicole knew that Waverly thought the same way about her and didn't push her to say anything. The kiss had been enough of an answer and the day was still young.
"Come on, let's get to the surprise." Nicole linked her fingers with Waverly's and the couple started walking down a path.
Waverly didn't know this place, she hadn't been there before, so she was excited to see where Nicole would take her.
15 minutes later the path split in two and a huge tree was hanging over one of the sides. Nicole lead her to the path with the tree and she followed. It was almost dark and it was hard to see the way *was willst du sagen?* inside the leave thickens.
After a brief moment the leaves unpicked and what Waverly saw was breathtaking.
There was a huge lake in the middle of two giant mountains. The light of the sundown was falling inside. Next to the lake there was a cute little cottage with small windows and a pitched roof. A small balcony was at the side of the lake. The view from the balcony had to be unbelieveable.
Waverly was standing alone the whole time until Nicole wrapped her arms around her from behind.
"You like what you see?" she whispered in Waverly's ear.
"It is so beautiful. Can you pinch me, please? So that I know this isn't a dream."
Nicole brought her lips to Waverly's neck and kissed her softly. "This isn't a dream. Come. I'll show you the cottage."
Nicole started walking as she recognized a little pull on her hand holding her back.
She turned around and saw that Waverly hadn't moved yet. She just stared at Nicole and the scene around her.
"This cottage is yours?" She asked in total disbelief.
"Mhh… yes. I bought it when I moved to Purgatory. I just wanted to have a place to be whenever I'd feel lost and that everything is too much. It's my safe place." She answered in a really peaceful tone.
Nicole stretched out her hand, so that Waverly could take it.
She took her hand and the two made their way over to the cottage. The door was huge and beautiful. It was made of oak. They kept the wood naturally so that the door had a gorgeous bright tone.
Nicole pulled out her keys and opened the door. It unlocked without a sound and revealed a lovely livingroom.
The first thing you saw in the living room was a large couch which stood in front of a bonny fireplace. The fireplace was made of bricks. Her view went to the right side and the kitchen fell into her view. The kitchen had a kitchen island and was made out of a dark stone. You saw that the kitchen was supposed to be open to the living room so that you never lose contact while working in the kitchen. Nicole came to Waverlys side and touched her on the shoulder.
"How do you like it?"
"This place is wonderful. I wanna stay here forever." She replied and leaned against her.
"I'll show you the first floor." Nicole took the lead and walked past the kitchen to a winding staircase. It leaded into the first floor. Once at the top they walked left to a wide bedroom with a king sized bed in it. The bed was the center of the room and looked very comfy. Behind the bed you could see hinged doors who leaded to the balcony.
Nicole walked over to the hinged doors and opened them so that the both could step on the balcony.
The view was breathtaking. Waverly was in shock, in a very positive way. The lake was wide and beautifully clear. The mountains in the back of the lake reflected on the water surface. The sun was nearly gone behind the peaks. In one word, it was beauteous. Waverly went to the handrail of the balcony and rested her arm on the rail.
Nicole kissed her on the cheek and whispered in her ear: "The surprise is downstairs."
The two went down and found themselves again in the living room. But this time Waverly looked to the left side and saw a big dinner table, already prepared. On the table were a meal and candles. Nicole lighted the candles right now.
"How is it possible that all of this is here? We were together all the time. Since I picked you up from work.", said Waverly and shooked her head.
"Someone from the Hotel helped me setting it up. It was a favor because I helped to find a way helping the people who were poisoned at Bobo's party."
While she was talking Nicole pulled the chair for Waverly to sit. She went over and sat down as Nicole sat towards her. In front of Waverly stod a plate with delicious looking food.
"I know you're vegan so I chose a vegan meal for both of us."
"That's so nice of you. But you know that I'm ok with the fact that you eat meat. Aren't you?", Waverly asked.
"I know but I wanted to try it. I've to know what I'm probably missing.", answered Nicole.
If Wynonna would have been here she would have made choke noises, because of the heart eyes that Nicole and Waverly were exchanging.
"So let's start this meal I'm dying because of starvation.", Nicole added while she started laughing.
An hour and a delicious meal later, Waverly and Nicole started to clean the table and brought it, into the kitchen. Waverly wanted to say something to Nicole but she wasn't next to her. She was sitting on the couch, back turned to her. She walked over very quiet and wrapped her arms around her neck.
"This was the best day in... I don't know. Ever?", Waverly said that with the biggest smile on her face.
Nicole lifted her arm and stroked Waverlys arms.
"I'm happy you liked it. And I hope we can do it again from time to time. How would you like that?"
Waverly climbed over the backrest of the couch and sat on the lap of Nicole and brought her hands together behind Nicole's neck.
"I had an amazing day just because of you and you are still worrying if i liked it? I don't know what I did to deserve you."
"By being you.", Nicole said and smiled at her.
"You know...those things you...were saying earlier about me and you? Like the thing you said that I complete you…I…...feel the same. I wasn't able to say a word because you just blew me away with this. And I'm sorry for that. But I need you to know….that I agree with you. You are the one who made me realise who I really am. Without you I would still be with Champ unhappy and not myself. The moment you entered Shortys and introduced yourself I felt the same way as you did. I wanted to know you, to be close to you. But at first I didn't heard of my heart but then we spoke in the car and you were so supportive and understanding. And then aunt Gus told me that life is about surprises and the chances we take. Yes somehow she encouraged me to listen to my heart. And what then happened I don't need to tell you. But what I actually wanted to tell you is...I love you."
Nicole looked deep into Waverlys eyes and answered from the bottom of her heart.
"I love you, too Waves."
Waverly slowly leaned forward and kissed Nicole. This kiss wasn't about sex or anything else it was about two people being in love with each other and it stayed soft until the two stopped head to head, eyes closed.
Nicole just lifted Waverly a little up so that she could change the way she sat. She layed down on the couch and took Waverly with her. Waverly laid next to her with her head lying on her chest. She could hear Nicole's heart and immediately she knew that it was her destiny to be with that amazing women who she loves more than anything else. Ok not anything. She loves Wynonna so much.
As she was thinking about all these things, she didn't realized that Nicole started to breath peacefully as she fell asleep.
Waverly moved a little away and touched her cheek and whispered softly:"Good night my love."
Then she rested her head at her girlfriend's chest and putted her hand on her belly and soon after that, she fell asleep on her own.
