~This chapter only rated T for my poorly written smut at the end, lol I apologize ahead of time but it was requested by a reviewer.~
Owen was right on time picking me up for our date. I must have tried on a million different outfits, but I wanted to look perfect. I finally went with a dark red peasant shirt, a solid black pencil skirt, and black ankle boots. Once my hair was curled and my makeup was done, I went downstairs. Derek and Owen were both standing at the bottom. I had to laugh at how overprotective Derek was getting, but it was also sweet. I'm glad we had fixed our relationship enough to where he cared about me again.
"You look beautiful, Amy. Have fun and don't worry about Jace. We got him handled. Behave you two... And Owen, don't do anything that'll make me have to kill you. I'm trusting you with my baby sister's life. You may be her new boyfriend, but I'm her big brother. I will not hesitate to smash your hands to ruin your surgical career."
I half-heartedly glared at Derek.
"We're just going on a date. He's not kidnapping me. Relax a little Der Bear."
He blushed at his nickname.
"Right... Call us if you need anything."
I gave Derek a quick hug then told Jace bye, giving him a hug and a kiss.
"Behave for Uncle Derek and Aunt Mere... Mommy loves you buddy."
"Love you Mama!"
Owen took my hand and led me out the door.
"Derek said it best... You look beautiful. More than beautiful, actually. You're stunning."
It was my turn to blush. I smiled at him, relieved when he looked over and gave me a quick peck before opening the passenger side door to his truck.
"You don't look so bad yourself. I like you in black."
He was in a black button up, jeans, and black boots. I climbed up onto the seat and buckled up. He quickly got in, doing the same, before heading down the road.
"I'll be sure to keep that in mind."
He held out his right hand, so I took it with one of mine. His hand was much larger than mine so it practically wrapped around mine. I liked it though. It was warm and made me feel safe.
"So where are we going?"
"To the boardwalk. I figured we could get dinner at one of those bistros, watch the sunset... We can ride some rides there or play some of the games. Whatever you want to do."
"So then why no heels?"
"I know better than to expect a lady to do all that walking in heels."
That made me smile. He was such a gentleman. We kept the conversation going the entire way, talking about everything from Jace to work to all of our favorite things. We finally found a place to park, so he hurried getting out to run around and open my door before I did.
"You know, I can open and close a door myself. I operate on brains for a living."
He just chuckled and I smirked at him.
"Chivalry isn't dead Mia."
"Whatever floats your boat. I'm starving since you drive like an old man and it took us ages to get here."
I dramatically draped my hand across my forehead like a faint southern belle, teasing him.
"You're a brat. Come on, let's go eat."
Hand in hand we walked to Plum Bistro. It was a cozy, intimate little place with good food. I just got spaghetti while Owen got some chicken alfredo. The food was great, even though I ended boxing up half of it because the portions were ginormous. We walked down the boardwalk by the ferris wheel and sat there just talking and enjoying each other's company while watching the sunset. It was beautiful.
"I think we should bring Jace here next time. He'd love all the rides and games."
I smiled as he mentioned Jace. I was still shocked there was actually a man interested in me that was okay with me having a kid too.
"Oh definitely. He always loves being out and about. Really, he even loves going to the grocery store."
"He's a busy body, nothing wrong with that. He'll make a good surgeon one day."
"I think so too."
Someone started lighting off fireworks near the water which made Owen tense up like a statue. He immediately went silent and froze.
"Hey, it's okay. Let's get out of here anyways. I'm getting chilly anyways."
He looked at me with a slight blush.
"I'm sorry. It's fine, we can stay. I just-"
"The sound. It's a trigger. You've told me about it. You've already had one episode today, let's not let another happen."
He sighed in relief and stood up, leading me back to the truck.
"Do you want me to take you home? I feel like our date got cut short."
"We can stay out and do whatever, I don't mind. Let's just not be near fireworks. I don't want you stressed on our first date."
"We could always go back to my place and watch a movie or something. O' Malley is on call tonight so he won't be home."
That sounds nice and relaxing, plus we'd get to cuddle and I love cuddling.
"Perfect. Let's go."
He only lived 10 minutes from the boardwalk on the 8th floor of some high rise apartment building. When we walked inside, it was revealed to be pretty much spotless. I guess two soldiers living together, they were trained to keep things tidy.
"So, we have some DVDs in the living room. Just pick one. I'll make some popcorn and get us each a coke."
I was relieved when he didn't offer alcohol. Sometimes people, even my brother, would forget that I don't drink and they'd be reminded of my crazy past when I turned down the offer. I walked over and read through all of the movies. They had tons but I settled on Remember the Titans. It was a classic movie. Once the popcorn was ready, we snuggled up with our snacks, drinks, and a big cozy blanket across our laps. It felt so nice to just be able to lay with his arms wrapped around me. I found so much comfort in him, and I knew it was the same way around. We needed each other. After the movie, looking at the empty coke bottles and empty popcorn bowl, we just laughed.
"It's getting late... Would you like me to take you home now?"
I looked at the clock hanging on the living room wall. It was a little past 11 but I knew everyone at my house would be fast asleep.
"Everyone is bed... I'm in no hurry to get home."
He smiled at that and tilted my head up to kiss me. Just like our first kiss, it lit a huge fire full of passion and desire in the both of us. Just us making out alone had us both all hot and bothered. His hands fisted my hair while I started to unbutton his shirt, seeing his perfectly defined muscles. He pulled away, breaking our kiss.
"Mia if we don't stop now..."
"I want this... If you want it."
"Of course I do."
He lifted me up into his arms effortlessly and carried me to his bedroom, setting me on the bed before continuing our makeout session, stripping our clothes off. He pulled back again, leaving me in just my black lacy bra and thong, him naked in full glory. He quickly opened the top drawer of his nightstand to pull out a condom. Using his teeth to tear open the wrapper, he got it out and put it on. He was... huge. I moved onto the bed a little more while he hurriedly rid me of my bra and thong, getting positioned between my legs. He tucked back a loose strand of my hair and looked deep into my eyes. He was so handsome... He was everything I could've dreamed of.
"Ready Mia?"
I bit at my bottom lip and nodded.
"As ready as I'll ever be."
He bent down as we continued to kiss, his hands palming a boob each. His thumbs ran back and forth on my nipples as he made his grand entrance. I gasped softly, trying to give my body time to adjust to his size.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah... Uh, you're just big... Bigger than I expected."
A huge smirk plastered his face.
"Then you better get ready..."
