The Proposal

It was morning. Boy, time flew thought Marissa waking up in Bianca's arms. She looked over at the door and realized her dress was hanging on the hook at the top. She hadn't brought it up with her, had she? No she thought. Bianca must have sometime during the night. What would the kids think if they saw Marissa's dress in the middle of the floor down in the living room? Good thing Bianca was around to think of these things before something did happen. Something did happen though last night between them. They made love for the first time. Marissa thought this was the most wonderful night of my life. She was finally with a person who she loved and knew loved her back. Someone that she could trust to care for her and keep her safe no matter what happened.

Bianca's hand slid up from Marissa's hip to just below her breast. "Good morning beautiful," she said with a smile.

Marissa turned her body to face Bianca as they lie there in bed. She leaned in and kissed her lips gently caressing her cheek with her hand. "Now that is what every girl wants to hear when they wake up," she laughed. "Last night was perfect."

"Yeah," Bianca said shyly.

"Hmmm," Marissa smiled.

Bianca shook her head. "Nothing. I was just thinking that this moment right here and now couldn't be more perfect."

Marissa leaned in to kiss Bianca again. "How about breakfast in bed?"

Bianca laughed.

"Seriously, I'll go out to Krystal's right now and be back ASAP," Marissa said smiling.

Bianca nodded, "sounds good."

Marissa got up out of bed and began putting her clothes from last night back on. Bianca watched as she put her underwear and bra back on and then as she slipped back into her dressed she opened her mouth to say something but all that came out was a gasp for air. She wanted to beg Marissa to forget breakfast and just climb back in bed with her. She wanted to spend the whole day just holding her in her arms and never letting go.

"I'll be back," Marissa waved as she walked out of the room.

"I love you," Bianca said after her.

Marissa rushed back into the room and pressed a sweet kiss onto Bianca's lips. "I love you too." With that she rushed back out the door and went to Krystal's.

Krystal's Restaurant

"Marissa, hey honey," Krystal smiled up at her daughter.

"Hey," Marissa smiled back. "Can I get some breakfast pastries to go?"

"Yeah, sure," Krystal said putting away some clean glasses.

"Bianca is waiting for me to get back," Marissa told her.

"Alright well I'll go back in the kitchen and put a variety of stuff for you to bring back with you," Krystal smiled and then walked back into the kitchen.

Marissa turned around just as David Hayward walked in. He may be her biological father but he meant nothing to her. He had played too many dirty tricks hurting her and the people she loved to care about this man in any way shape or form.

"Marissa, hi," David said smiling at her. "What are you up to this early?"

"Getting breakfast," Marissa said coldly.

Krystal came back with a big paper bag of all sorts of foods. "Here you go honey," she said setting it down on the counter. "What do you want David?" she said just as coldly as Marissa's greeting.

"I came for a cup of coffee and an update on my grandson. I saw JR the other day and he was beyond a mess. I hope he is ok," he said addressing both women.

"He's fine," Marissa said. "He stayed he has been staying with Krystal and the Martin's."

"And where were you last night?" He asked.

Marissa was taken aback for a moment. She had not told David yet about her new found relationship. I mean last she heard he was marrying Bianca's mom so what would he think of this. "I really don't know how that is any of your business David."

"I'm sorry. I was just concerned seeing as my grandson's father is a sloppy drunk and if his stepmother wasn't there for him I just like to know what was more important than making sure his good-for-nothing father didn't try taking him like before," David scolded her.

"I stayed with Bianca, ok!" Marissa snapped. "Bianca and I are together now and if you don't like that then stay the hell out of my life." Marissa grabbed the bag and stormed out of the restaurant.

"Trouble in paradise?" David said leaning on the counter.

"Don't you go making any, David Hayward," Krystal scolded him.

David just smiled.

Wild Wind

Marissa walked into the house and went straight to the kitchen for supplies. She found a serving tray and then plates and took out two. Then she went into the refrigerator and found fruit to put on one of the plates. She put everything on the table and put a few of the pastries on the other plate. After she was done with placing the food on the plates and putting the plates just right on the serving tray she headed back upstairs to Bianca. She placed the tray on the floor so she could open the bedroom door.

Bianca sat up in bed. "What you bring me?" She laughed.

Marissa laughed along with her. "All kinds of stuff." She went over to the bed and placed the tray in front of Bianca.

Bianca took a big whiff of all the delicious foods in front of her. She picked up a strawberry and fed it to Marissa. Marissa laughed as she tried to catch the juice dripping down her chin. Bianca began looking at all the pastries to see which one she wanted to eat first.

Marissa picked up a scone from the plate. "And there is plenty more down in the kitchen if we finish all these," she said.

Bianca took a bite out of her croissant and nodded.

Marissa laughed as the pastry flaked onto the sheets in front of Bianca.
