CHAPTER FOUR – MAGIC AND FIREWORKS
Since I could not stop writing when I finished Chapter Three , this one is also for Jani
"Reid where are we?" Luke asked, very confused.
Reid had just pulled into the drive way at the house that they had bought together just two months before. Reid took a deep breath. "This is where you are going to do your recovering. I can take care of you here at night, and your friend Allison and your other favorite nurse, I think her name is Gretchen, have offered to stop by and check on you during the day. "
"You let me think that you were taking me back to my place, when you had this all planned. I never knew that you were that into surprises. And when did you have the time to find this place? You were always at the hospital." It warmed Reid's heart to see Luke so happy.
"Well, I had a little help. " Reid left it a little vague and was still hoping that Luke would remember something.
They got out of the car and walked up to the door holding hands. Luke had a déjà vu moment, like he had done this before. Reid opened the door and as they walked in, Luke knew that he had been here before. Then when Luke saw the living room, and the huge picture of fireworks hanging above the fireplace, he felt the room start to spin.
"Magic and Fireworks" Luke whispered.
"What did you say?" Reid turned to Luke and looked into his eyes. Luke was smiling,
"Magic and Fireworks!" Luke grabbed Reid's face and kissed him. "I remember. Magic and Fireworks!" Luke was now so excited he couldn't contain his happiness.
" I told you that was how making love to you felt like after the first time we made love here in our home. It was Magic and Fireworks. The next day you went out and bought the biggest picture you could find of fireworks. You said that you bought so that we would never forget what we meant to each other. That we would always have our 'Magic and Fireworks'." And then Luke's face fell. Because he knew that he had done just that. Forgot moving in here, forgot making love to Reid, forgot so much of the happiness that they had here.
"Luke. But you did remember. As soon as you saw that picture. You remembered. " Reid was smiling now. He pulled Luke to him and kissed him. They sat down on the couch. Reid had his arm around Luke and Luke's head was resting on Reid's chest.
"What else to you remember, Luke?" Luke smiled as he started talking about their first night here.
Luke was there inside his new home. He still couldn't believe that they actually bought this house together. And to make it even more special, this was going to be their first night together. Luke had been ready for a while now to take the next step, but when Reid asked him to live together, he knew that the perfect time would be tonight, their first night in their new home. He did not know how much longer he could hold back, so he hired all those people to get the house ready for them. Of course he didn't tell Reid that. He wanted to surprise him. Luke knew that Reid was frustrated with how slow he had wanted to take things. Luke knew that he was old fashioned in wanting to wait. However he had seen so many couples here in Oakdale that did not wait and look what happened to them. They were only together for a short time before they broke up or got divorced. Then they would take up with someone else only to repeat that same pattern. Luke did not want that. He wanted something that would last forever. And he believed that Reid was his forever love. That was something that was worth waiting for.
Reid should be home anytime now. Luke looked over the house one last time. He wanted to make sure that everything was perfect. He walked up the stairs to the master bedroom. He had already lit the candles. And the bed was his masterpiece. He had laid out rose petals in a heart shape on the bed. And there was a trail of them that led from the bed to the front door. And on the nightstand next to Reid's side of the bed was a sandwich that he made Reid. Reid was always eating and once Luke got Reid in the bedroom he wasn't planning on letting him out anytime soon.
Luke headed back downstairs to wait for what he hoped wouldn't be too much longer. Luke heard the car door shut and then the front door opened. Luke walked up to Reid and put his arms around him.
"Surprise!" Luke said. Reid looked at Luke and saw he was only wearing a towel.
"Where is everybody? I thought you said that we were having some kind of party to celebrate our home."
"We are. I guess I forgot to mention that there are only two guests invited. And that the party is in the bedroom. Oh and clothing is optional." At that Luke dropped his towel and was standing before Reid in nothing.
"Dr. Oliver, would you like an escort upstairs?" Reid couldn't catch his breath. Reid took Luke in from head to toe. He could see just how much Luke wanted him. He could even feel himself getting hard just looking at Luke.
" Are you sure? I don't think that I will be able to stop this time." Reid voice was hoarse. He couldn't believe that he was finally going to get to make love to Luke.
"Yes, I am sure. What better time to celebrate our love then our first night in our new home."
"In that case. Lead the way. Mr. Snyder. Lead the way."
Later that night, Luke and Reid were in bed. Luke had his head on Reid's chest listening to his heart beat while Reid was eating the sandwich that Luke had made all those hours earlier. That's when Luke said those words to Reid.
"Magic and Fireworks. That is what I felt when we made love. Every nerve ending in my body cried out in pleasure when you touched me. I have never felt so complete then when we came together as one."
Next time …. Luke has a nightmare and Reid had a decision to make
It might be next weekend before I get the next chapter done. RL has a bad habit of getting in the way sometimes.
