Chapter 25

Stephanie sighed as she stretched herself out with glass of wine on the couch and sat ready to watch the film, she had just put Cali down to sleep so decided to treat herself. She had a nice time at Paul's birthday and was more than happy with how everything had planned out she hoped she'd get to see Paul again tomorrow he gave her a warm feeling inside, it reminded her of how she felt about him all those years ago.

Paul smiled to himself as he pulled up outside her house the whole drive down from his parents all he did was think about her he just had to drop by for a couple of hours and spend some time with her, at least here they wouldn't be interrupted by any other person other than Cali and that he didn't mind.

Stephanie walked past the front door heading to the kitchen for another glass of wine when a knock at the door made her jump she cursed the person on the other side for scaring her like that. As she went to open it, she wondered who the person was as she didn't normally get visits this late, she unlocked the door and opened the door a little, seeing who was on the other side she smiled brightly.

"Hi, I thought you were going to see me tomorrow" she said smirking a little.

Paul smiled and nodded "well I still plan on doing that but I figured I couldn't leave you alone all night"

Steph smiled as she blushed a little, she closed the door behind Paul and locked it again "can I get you a drink?" Steph asked walking into the kitchen

"Sure, what are you drinking?" Stephanie smiled "wine it's my treat after I've put Cali down"

Paul chuckled "well I don't normally but for you I'll make an exception"

Stephanie smiled and poured them both a drink before taking Paul into the living to relax on the couch again.

As Paul sat down getting comfy in his seat Stephanie joined him happily stretching her long legs out across him. Paul shook his head "comfy are we" Steph nodded her head as she took a drink from her glass "very thank you. Did you enjoy your birthday ?"

Paul smiled "I enjoyed you being there" Stephanie smiled "well I'm glad I went" Paul smiled at her brightly and pulled her into his lap Stephanie kissed his cheek softly and settled back to watch the rest of the film.

"so what are we watching then" Paul asked curiously, Stephanie smirked " a chick flick" Paul rolled his eyes "I might have guessed" Steph laughed and shook her head "well your more than welcome to leave if you're not interested" Paul smirked "you'll not get rid of me that easily you know" Stephanie smiled "good cause I was hoping you'd stay".

After watching the film and finishing off there wine Paul and Steph just sat snuggled together on the couch enjoying the others company.

Stephanie snuggled into Paul a little more and he could tell she was getting even more tired, so he sat up a little more " you're not falling asleep on me are you" he asked with a chuckle, Stephanie stretched her arms out and yawned as she shook her head "nope" Paul smiled "yea it doesn't look like it" Stephanie playfully rolled her eyes " ok maybe I was, but it's your fault your so comfy" Paul laughed and shook his head "I'm taking you upstairs to bed then I'm should head home" Stephanie pouted her lips and gave out her puppy dog eyes Paul shook his head as he held Stephanie like a baby in his arms " now what" he asked "do you have to leave" Paul chuckled "well I wasn't sure whether you wanted me to stay or not" Stephanie smiled "you can stay I don't mind" Paul smiled and kissed her lips softly and slowly. Once he reached her he at Stephanie down her feet.

"I'm going to go and get my things from the car, I'll be back in a minuet" Stephanie smiled at him brightly and nodded.

When Paul came back he went back into Steph' room and smiled at her "so which room am I in" she smiled at him and pattered the other side of her bed "right here" Paul smiled and nodded "only if you're cool with it "we're together now Paul, and really we've known each other longer enough" Paul chuckled that is very true" Stephanie smiled "I know it is now get your butt over here" Paul laughed and stripped down to his underwear before climbing in the bed with her, Stephanie snuggled into him tightly, and they both happily drifted off to sleep.
