Olivia opened the hotel door and gasped as she saw the king size bed, completely covered in blood red rose petals with a bottle of iced champagne on the bedside table.
"How do you always manage to surprise me even after all this time?" she asked feeling Peter's arms wrap themselves around her waist.
"Because I love you,Noah and our baby or babies we will have you are my everything," he said kissing her neck lightly.
"So what was the special occasion that you felt obliged to treat me like this?" Liv asked. She shuddered as his response was whispered against her skin.
"Well, we both managed to get some time off work and Noah is at camp so I thought why not treat the woman of my dreams".
He was too focused on kissing her skin to care. He suddenly let her go and she was left quivering as he popped open the champagne, pouring two glasses.
"You do realise that treating me like this is going to make me never want to leave this hotel room," Liv said taking a fortifying sip of champagne, letting the bubbles and passion fizz through her bloodstream.
"Mm, well I could think of better things to do than visit places," Peter said with a glint in his eye. Olivia couldn't stop her heart from racing as he kissed her lips quickly but thoroughly.
Liv walked back into the squad room after her lunch break. Peter had been busy with a client so she had spent a rare hour away from his presence. She sat at her desk in her office and flicked her computer on before she realised what was different. A long stemmed red rose was lying on her files. She smiled and read the note next to it which held three simple words that seemed to change her mood instantly.
I love you.He hadn't even signed it because he didn't need to. Her fingertips stroked the petals gently, remembering the feel of them on her bare skin on that wonderful night in Paris when they were in Disney Land when Peter hadn't stopped touching or holding her for even a second. Not once. That memory kept her distracted long enough for Peter to walk in to the squad room. And she did nothing but smile.
