CPOV
I woke, reaching over to pull Ana to me but her side of the bed was empty. Sitting up, I looked over to the bathroom, seeing the door was open and nothing but silence greeted me. I was about to get out of bed and go searching for my girlfriend, missing her warm body next to mine when she entered the bedroom.
Ana had her phone to her ear and in the other hand was two cups with the what looked like this mornings paper under her arm.
"I already have two missed calls, don't worry about her" she said putting the cups down on the bedside table and kissing my lips.
I know who she would be talking about, her mother. I had the not so enjoyable pleasure of talking to her earlier this week. Carla was very straight forward, intrusive. Asking questions about my business before quickly changing the subject to enquire how much I was worth and if I had enough to support her daughter should our relationship go a lot further. Ana was livid and told her so. Told her that she had her own money and wanted me not my bank. Carla pissed me off the way she dismissed her daughter, that as a mother she had a right to ask. She's nothing like Ana who thankfully gets her personality and her brains from her father. Her beautiful heart is all Ana. You can see by meeting Ray and speaking to him that Ana is his whole world. This woman, I don't know what to say without insulting the mother of the woman I love.
Ana handed me the paper before picking her cup up and walking around to her side of the bed and climbed onto it. All she had on was the dress shirt I had worn the night before and hopefully some panties as we were not alone in the apartment. It's probably the only time I want her to wear underwear.
"Ok Dad, love you. Will do bye."
"Dad sends his love" she smiled before straddling my legs.
"You were gone."
"My phone rang and I didn't want to wake you so I thought I would put the kettle on."
With my hands on her arse, I pulled Ana closer to me.
"Good morning my beautiful amazing girlfriend" I said as she laughed, kissing my lips.
"Good morning my sexy boyfriend."
"Sexy?" I inquired
"Very, especially in your tux last night. I did enjoy taking it off and as you can see, all buttons are intact."
I looked down at the shirt in front of me, seeing the tops of her breast peaking out from my position. She always looks amazing wearing my shirt. The only problem was, it was blocking the view.
I unbuttoned each one slowly. Enjoying the feel of Ana's breast within as I trailed my fingers over them.
Pushing my shirt from Ana's shoulders, I cupped her breasts with my hands. Leaning my head down, my mouth found her nipple. Swirling my tongue around it before sucking hard.
Her back arched into me as Ana's moans hit my cock. I would worship my girl first before making love to her. Her other breast got the same attention as the first before moving down the bed and flipping us so she was underneath me.
"You wet my leg" I told her.
She didn't care, she just shrugged her shoulders before telling me it was my fault for making her so wet.
Moving down her body, leaving kisses along the way, I reached my goal. Her pussy was open and glistening for me, beckoning me to come forward.
Letting my tongue explore her folds, I dipped it inside as her hand came down to grip my hair. I was avoiding her clit at the moment because I knew as soon as I touched it, she would cum.
"Christian" she groaned loudly as I pushed two fingers inside. She was close, I knew it.
Realising she had reached her limit for teasing, I sucked hard on her clit while continuing the movement of my fingers. It pushed her over the edge, my name echoing off the walls.
"You're mean" she panted with her eyes closed.
"Sorry, not sorry" I laughed, seeing a smile on her face.
It was me who was soon moaning as Ana pushed me off her and was once more, straddling me. With my cock against my stomach she rocked her pussy over me, teasing. I was soon wet with her juices before she finally took my cock in hand and sank down on me.
"Ride me baby" I said as she started to move.
My hands gripped her arse before I sat up and we were nose to nose. Crashing our lips together, our tongues were soon in a sensual dance.
"Christian I'm close."
"Me too Ana, you fall and I will follow."
The pressure on my cock intensified as we both reached our peak, our names swallowed in-between our kisses.
We lay in our bed just holding each other. It doesn't feel like my bed any more, it's ours.
"I think your coffee has gone cold" she laughed kissing my chest.
"I will make another soon and get you a tea as well."
I stroked her cheek as she looked up to me.
"I was so proud of you last night Ana, the last thing I ever wanted you to do was meet those women and you handled them beautifully."
"I will always defend us Christian, from the press and especially from people like them."
"I love you so much baby."
"I love you too."
We spent the morning in bed, once I had replenished our drinks. Ana sat in-between my legs as we read the paper. Of course we made the front page of every newspaper in the city. There was even an article in The Times, along with a photo of the Lincoln's being unceremoniously removed from the hotel by security. They were also accompanied by the hospital administrator who just happens to be a friend of my parents.
"I wonder" Ana said. obviously thinking about something.
"What is that beautiful brain wondering."
"On Friday when I left work to go to the bar, the press asked me if we would be attending the ball together. I said yes, the only question I did answer. I'm wondering how close to the ball did they decide to attend. They knew your family would be there but would they know before I answered the press, we would be attending together."
"I don't know baby, it's something we all attend every year at the request of my mother so they would know that I would be there. It would make sense with you being my girlfriend, that you might be there also. Do I think that they turned up just to cause trouble and not for the actual charity, of course. I'm glad I had my sexy bodyguard there to protect us."
"Does Taylor know you think of him that way" Ana asked before I had her down on the bed, tickling her.
I tickled up and down her body, as she begged me to stop or I think that is what she said over her laughter. I soon learnt that her feet are very ticklish, narrowingly getting kicked in the head.
"Please, Please" she laughed as I finally stopped my tickling.
Sitting up, the paper was strewn about the floor. It held no interest to us now as I pulled her into my arms.
"What time are you finishing on Friday" she asked me.
"When ever you need me Ana. Andrea knows not to book me in for anything in the afternoon so I'm all yours."
"I'm going in early and leaving at twelve. I need to go back to my apartment first to pick up supplies."
"Supplies, you're going home, not camping."
"Have you not been in the store yet in town."
I shook my head, only visiting Ana's, the hospital, diner and bar besides the bed and breakfast.
"They don't have a very good selection and with us going for a few days, I always stock up."
"I would love to explore that little town more."
"I will show you around but it will be best to explore the areas outside of town in the spring when the snows have melted and you're not at risk of falling off the edge of the cliff."
"Do you get a lot of people walking around the mountain side."
"On the side of Elum point there are a few trails that are a nice walk. My side it a lot more rockier so unless you're good at rock climbing, I wouldn't wonder. There was a reason my Great Granddad planted those trees in my garden because about half a mile past them, there is a sheer drop."
"Remind me not to go past the trees then."
Finally getting up out of bed, we showered before we made breakfast together. Yes me making breakfast. With Ana's instructions I was able to make pancakes which apart from the first one that stuck to the pan, actually tasted edible.
"When do you put your Christmas tree up" Ana asked me.
"I don't, I'm usually always working and spend Christmas with my parents. Not much fun putting a tree up for one."
"You're not one any more" she said cupping my cheek before kissing my lips.
"I know Ana and I have never been more happier."
"Come on lets go and get dressed in something warmer" she told me pulling me off the stool and led me through to my bedroom.
"Where are we going."
"We're going to get a Christmas tree. Even though Kate and I are not home for Christmas, we always have a tree."
I added a thick sweater to the jeans and t shirt I already had on. If Ana said it would be cold, I listen as after the crash I don't want to ever be that cold again.
Ana put her sweater on also before going into my closet and pulled a pair of socks from one of the drawers. She put them on over the thin socks she had on, before her boots went on next.
I liked her being in my space, wearing my clothes. Loved her being here in fact. I know we have not known each other that long but I would be happy if she stayed here with me forever.
We made our way down to the garage. Our cars were staying here today and we would be taking one of my others. "Big enough to hold two Christmas trees" I was told so she wouldn't have to come back tomorrow when Ana was originally planning to get her tree after work. Ryan and Reynolds who I had just introduced Ana to, would be following us.
"You drive, you know where you're going" I said, throwing Ana the keys to my car before we got in.
"Ok, which one presses the ejector seat" she smiled at all the buttons on the dashboard.
I may have gone overboard with this car. It's what I use when Elliot and I go camping together in the summer. Big enough for everything we need and enough gadgets to keep Elliot entertained.
"Do you want me to drive."
"No, I'm fine. If you disappear through the roof though, I'm not stopping."
Ana drove up to the barrier which raised for us and then out into traffic.
"It feels like I'm going home again" she smiled as we headed out of the city. I remember doing the route backwards but we turned off before we got anywhere near where I wish we both could go.
"When are you going back to Winchester Falls for Christmas" I finally asked the question I had been avoiding, not liking the thought of not seeing Ana over the holidays.
"The twenty first, I drive back. Dad's birthday is the twenty second. I always go home the day before so I can make his favourite cake and have dinner with him."
Twenty first, I had less time with Ana over Christmas than I thought.
"Hey, I know you spend Christmas with your family but you're all welcome to come and stay. With Dads job, he can't be away too long and I don't want him to be alone on the holidays."
I smiled kissing her hand when we stopped at a light. I would love to spend Christmas in Winchester Falls and I doubt my family would object either.
"Count me in. I will speak to my family, I'm sure they would love to come. They might have to drive up Christmas eve as I know my Mum would be working at the hospital in the days before."
She smiled widely as we pulled into what looked like a farm. Parking up, we got out as I went around to take her hand. I can understand now why Ana said to dress warm. Even though we hadn't actually reached the cascades, it was still very cold.
"Welcome back" an elderly lady greeted us.
"Thank you, it wouldn't be Christmas without coming here."
"How many would you like dear."
"Three please."
The lady handed Ana what looked like three tags with numbers on before she left us to wonder through the trees.
They were all different sizes, different types.
"What about this one" I asked Ana.
"Beautiful tree but you might have fun getting it into your car, let alone getting it up 31 floors."
She had a point as it had to be at lease 9ft tall and there is no way I'm dragging it up the stairs.
"Maybe something shorter" she said looking at a tree that I think she had chosen.
"Some thing your size then" I teased getting the stink eye from my girlfriend before she walked off on me.
I rushed behind her wrapping my arms around her waist and kissed her cheeks.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You're perfect Ana, everything about you is perfect."
"Apart from my shortness."
"Baby you're not short" I laughed as she stuck her tongue out at me.
I could put that tongue to better use and I did. Turning her around to face me, I pulling her into my arms before joining my lips to hers. She groaned pulling me closer still as our lips and tongues moved together. We only broke apart when we heard voices approaching. A couple and their daughter were like us, looking for their perfect tree.
"I like that one" Ana said, to the one she had been stood by before.
"So we will have that one, now one my apartment."
"No, I like that one for your apartment. It's small enough to fit in the elevator, and it doesn't shed its needles. Besides the best things come in small packages" she smirked, putting a label on the tree.
"The best things come in Ana. shaped packages."
"They must be rare then as there is only one me."
"Yes and you're all mine" I told her stealing a kiss before we found her tree.
It was a bit smaller than the one Ana had found for my apartment. Ana said it was perfect as they didn't have a lot of space and would only need to buy more decorations if she got a bigger one. She also found a tree that we would pick up when we headed for Winchester Falls, which she said would look good in her house.
Once the two trees we were taking today had been cut down, Ryan and Reynolds carried them back to the farm shop while we had a look around it. I had a tree but never having one at home before, I had nothing to put on it.
There were Christmas ornaments of every shape and size. Some glass, some plastic and some wooden.
I chose some glass baubles, while Ana picked up a star for the top of the tree. We had lights, beads, more ornaments than I think my parents have on theirs but Ana said they will be fine.
Packing everything into the cars, we headed back into Seattle. Ana was coming back to mine to help decorate my tree before we were going back to hers, where I would stay the night.
Getting the tree in the elevator was a lot of fun. Ana was laughing at Reynolds and I as we manoeuvred it this way and that, making sure we didn't lose the tip when the doors closed. I'm sure I could pay someone to do this for me but then I would have missed out on today's fun with Ana.
"It does shed" I told her when it was finally in place in the living room, looking at the trail of needles it had left behind.
"I'd like to see you without any injuries, being dragged up thirty one floors."
Ana went into the kitchen, coming back with the dust pan and brush.
"Ana let me do that" Gail said taking it from her.
They had met last week and had gotten along very well. Gail normally makes my meals for me but as Ana loves to cook, she has started to make food that I can defrost and heat up if needed unless she knows that I'm home without my girlfriend. Those nights are few and far between.
"I think the trail will lead to the front door of the building."
Gail smiled and disappeared with the elevator down to the ground floor.
I learned something new about my girlfriend, she's a perfectionist when it comes to Christmas trees. Unlike when as a child, my mother asked us to put the ornaments on the tree and we would put them anywhere. My girlfriend likes it to look neat and symmetrical.
The amount of lights we had on the tree, we wouldn't need the warning light that is on top of this building to alert low flying aircraft.
"Done" I asked standing back.
"One more" she said handing me a small item wrapped in bubble wrap.
"What is it" I asked.
"Only one way to find out, open it."
I opened it to see a small wooden helicopter ornament. I smiled as even the rotor blades went around.
"I saw it in the farm shop, thought it would do until you get your own back or a new one."
"I love it Ana, where shall we put it."
she moved one of the baubles over, and I put it in its place, right at the front of the Christmas tree.
"Now it's finished" she smiled as I wrapped my arms around her waist.
I smiled. It was the first Christmas tree that had ever been put up here and like the girl in my arms it was perfect.
"Dance with me" I said turning her around.
"There is no music" she smiled.
I let go of her hand, to pick the remote up off the table and soon Merry Christmas to you was heard around the room.
I walked back over to her, cupping her face in my hands.
"I love you Ana."
"I love you too Christian, so much."
We swayed to the music as I held her in my arms, the only lights in the room were coming from the fire and the Christmas tree. Song after song, we held each other with the slow songs or I spun her around to the faster ones as her laughter joined mine.
I knew we had another tree waiting for us in my car but for now it can wait. For now, dancing with my girl. There is no other place I wanted us to be.
Thank you for reading.
Until next time, take care
Caroline.
