I want to thank all of the people that review and want to encourage everyone to review because that's why we write :) ok that said here is another chapter.
Previously:
Deacon waited for her to move and then pulled the blanket from behind the couch over them. She rapped her arms around his waist and he rapped his around hers and they just sat like that thinking about how amazing it felt to be wrapped around each other. Deacon could feel her breath on his neck and it warmed him up. She heard their breathing level out to the same rhythm and kissed his neck softly just because she could. He also relaxed completely and they slowly felt sleep overtake them. If anyone would have seen them they would have wished for that connection, for that bond. They were so in synch, with every move and breath they took. It was the most comfortable and relaxed they had both been in a long while.
Now:
It was five in the afternoon when Deacon woke up from their nap first and looked at Rayna. He thinks to himself, she is so beautiful and she looks like an angel, my angel. He sighed, relieved that she was his, all his, again. He could still feel her breath on his neck and her body wrapped around him. It felt like his skin was burning and we was glad because he knew he was keeping her warm and that's why she hadn't woken up yet. He played with the ends of her hair carefully so as not to wake her. He waited another ten minutes for her to wake up and when she didn't he decided to wake her softly because he wanted her to be awake with him. He knew that if he woke her up suddenly or with a sudden movement she would be cranky and so he started to hum I'm Back Home quietly. He knew she would wake up from the movement of his rib cage since she was still straddling him and they were chest to chest. She sighed and he knew she was waking and he continued to hum. She inched even closer to his neck and kissed his collar bone lazily, her lips lingering there. She unwrapped her arms from around his waist and stretched slowly and then she rapped them around his neck, her head still on his shoulder. Her knees were bent and she could feel her joints were tired so she rapped her legs around his waist, he moved up the couch a little so that she could get comfortable and then leaned back again. She whispered, "it's nice to wake up like this. With your arms around me and you humming softly." He ran his hands up and down her back, "I had to wake you up cuz I was getting lonely." She smiled against his neck and lifted her head up to look at him. Her hair was messed up from sleeping and he ran his hands through it tugging her head back a little, exposing her neck. He kissed her jaw and made his way to her lips. "Are you proud of me? I didn't steal the blanket and I'm warm." He smiled against her lips, "yes, I'm very proud of you baby." They opened their eyes and smiled. "You kept me warm," she said softly. He grinned and kissed her again. Her fingers played with his hair and his hands rested on her hips. "What time is it? I'm hungry," she asked. He chuckled and grabbed her phone from next to them. "It's 5:30. Wanna start making dinner?" "Mhm." He pulled the blanket off of them and stood up. Rayna laughed, "this is probably not a position we should be in. Put me down!" "No I think it is. Maybe you should take your big sister's advice and not keep us hangin with this agreement." He kissed her. She laughed, "it's not even been 24 hours yet and this is already hard. I think we have a problem. We are obsessed with each other." Deacon laughed and put her down, "yeah we are." She smiled and kissed him. She went into the kitchen and he went to put a shirt on and then joined her.
Rayna opened the fridge, "hmm, ok so how about steamed vegetables, chicken, and potatoes in the oven?" "Yep. That sounds so good. I bought chocolate ice cream for later." Rayna grinned, "that's my favorite." Deacon smiled, "I know it is. It's mine too." Rayna smiled because he remembered everything about her, "yeah I know it's your favorite too." Deacon smiled back. Rayna handed him carrots, zucchini, and the chicken. She took the potato bag that was next to the fridge and opened it. Deacon had taken out two chopping trays, two knives, and a peeler for the potatoes. Rayna took out a pot and put water in it for the vegetables and put it on the stove in order for it to start boiling. She then turned on the oven so it could heat up for the potatoes. When they caught each other's glances they smiled and continued. They didn't need to tell each other that Deacon was going to make the chicken and that she was going to make the vegetables, because it had always been that way. Rayna didn't like touching raw meat so he took care of that. They didn't need to talk, they just knew. They stood side by side, Deacon cleaning and preparing the chicken and Rayna chopping up the vegetables. She found a long pan to put the potatoes in and put oil on the bottom. She went to the fridge again and found onions. She cut one up and tears were forming in her eyes from the onions so Deacon waited for them to fall and wiped them away with a tissue, "thanks babe," she smiled and put the onions in the pan as well, in order to give the potatoes more flavor. "You're welcome," he kissed her and continued to cut the meat. Rayna was peeling the potatoes and her hand slipped and the blade gave her a cut on her thumb, "owww!" She exclaimed. Deacon looked up and saw that blood was coming out of the cut, he knew she hated blood so he took her hand and led her to the faucet, "it's ok Ray. I know you don't like blood but it's a very very very small cut." She smiled at him because he knew exactly what to do. "Wait here I'll go get a bandaid for you." "Are you sure that'll be enough? It's a lot of blood." Deacon gave her a look and laughed, "it's a small cut Ray, you didn't loose your thumb." She gave him a smile, "okay, doctor." He smiled and walked to the bathroom. He came back with a bandaid, took her hand in his, and wrapped it around the cut. He kissed her thumb, "there ya go. All better?" Rayna smiled and hugged him, "mhm. Thank you for taking care of me." She was just happy that he hadn't changed and even took care of her with the simplest things, like putting on a bandaid. He could have handed it to her but instead he took the time to put it on her and make sure she was okay. She looked up and kissed him, he kissed her back and then pulled away and picked up the peeler. He looked at the metal part of it. Rayna looked too, "what are you lookin for?" "Just making sure there wasn't any rust on it. Haven't used it in a while so you never know." She smiled at him, "you're so cute babe." Deacon laughed, "I don't think a grown man wants to be called cute." Rayna laughed too, "well I can't think about the other things you are cuz that would lead to us being in bed together." Deacon chuckled, "I'm really hatin this agreement." Rayna kissed him, "I know, me too. It's hard, we never tried this before but it gives our relationship a deeper attachment." He smiled at her, "mhm you're right." Rayna laughed, "as usual. What else is new?" She said sarcastically, flipping her hair. Deacon laughed, "okay, I think you got praised enough. Get back to cookin." Rayna smiled and kept peeling the potatoes. Deacon was done with cleaning and cutting the chicken so he cut the potatoes for Rayna and put them in the oven because they took the longest to cook. He then put a pan on the stove added olive oil and the rest of the onion she had cut. When it was warmed up he added the chicken. Rayna put the vegetables in the boiling pot and stirred them while deacon flipped the meat. He stepped back in order for her to check the potatoes. She asked him, "what do you want to drink?" "I want the ice tea you make." "Wow! I haven't made that in a while. I want it too." She got Lipton black tea, tea bags out and got the big plastic glasses that she always used to use for the ice tea. She put water and ice in the cups and put the tea bags in there. She got sugar and added just the right amount into the cups. She made hers sweeter than Deacon's because she knew he liked it more bitter than hers. She got straws and put them in the cups and found one lemon in the fridge and cut two slices and put them on the rim of the cups. Deacon had turned off the vegetables and the oven and the chicken was done. He was busy, putting everything into the plates so she put the straw next to his lips and he sipped. "Just the way I like it!" Rayna laughed, satisfied that she hadn't forgotten, "see I know what you like." Deacon looked at her his eyes became darker, "mmm I know you do." Rayna laughed and hit his arm, "I didn't mean it like that!" He kissed her, "I know you didn't but it's still true." Rayna blushed and Deacon kissed her so that she could look up and he grinned at her. Rayna took the ice tea to the table and Deacon took the plates and the forks and knives. They ate and made small talk, talking about everything and nothing at the same time, as if they didn't have any worries but to be with each other. They both finished eating at the same time and by the time they cleaned everything up it was eight.
Deacon asked, "do you want some ice cream?" Rayna nodded and got a spoon out and Deacon got the ice cream. They walked to the living room and sat across each other on the couch. Before he sat down, Deacon put more wood in the fire, so that it would stay on. Rayna opened the chocolate ice cream and scooped some out. She ate some off the spoon and fed the rest to Deacon. Deacon took the spoon away from her and ate a spoon full. He then gave some to Rayna but the moment the spoon came out of her mouth, his was on hers. She moaned, not expecting the kiss but kissed him back with as much force. They both tasted like chocolate and they loved it. Deacon pulled her back leaving her panting lightly. He acted as if he wasn't affected but she knew he was and it drove her crazier. She said, "you're killing me here you know that?" Deacon smirked, "I know exactly what I'm doing." She rolled her eyes playfully and mumbled almost to herself, "I should have never made this agreement with you. We know way too much about each other's bodies and how to drive the other one crazy." Deacon knew exactly how she felt. He ate more ice cream and fed her some too, "I'm not breaking it. I like the challenge. Do you want more ice cream?" She shook her head so Deacon got up and put the ice cream away. Rayna smiled when he walked back in, "me too. I guess we were too close in our physical relationship so living without it is going to be the biggest challenge of our relationship." Deacon sat down and grinned, "we're just too good in bed." She laughed, "yeah, with each other at least." Deacon was happy to hear that because he never wanted her to have that bond with anyone else. "Yes, definitely with each other." Rayna also smiled. She had cherished that part of their relationship especially because he had been her first and she was glad that she was at the top of his list too. It was nice to hear that. She blushed and looked down, "you know I have always been attached to you with that cuz you were my first." Deacon smiled remembering that night. "I'm glad I was. You know I was really scared but never told you that." Rayna looked up at him, "I would have never known. You made me feel confident and good. I knew we loved each other and I knew I wanted you to be the first." She got closer to him on the couch and she laid her head in his lap. He caressed her cheek, "I wish you had been my first too Ray. I wish we could have crossed that line together." She ran one of her hands through his hair reassuring him that it was okay. "I know it wasn't a problem for you but it's hard to explain. You won't regret that I was your first cuz we truly love each other. I didn't love her like that." Rayna moved so that her head was on his chest and she looked up so she could kiss him, "I know. I'm glad I waited for you." She laid her had back on his chest and kissed it over the fabric of his chest. He sighed, "well if it's worth anything, you were waayy better. No one compares to you in any way." Rayna blushed. Even though she had known him for so long it was still a little embarrassing to hear him talk like that about her but very flattering at the same time. She whispered, "thank you. You're at the top of my list too babe. Although my list is very short." Deacon chuckled and asked, "how long is your list?" "Umm five people. You, Teddy, Liam. Two one night stands that I don't remember the names of. How about you?" Deacon smiled and kissed her, "I don't think you want to know." Rayna lifted her head off his chest, "why not?" He smiled and kissed her, "I lost count." She gasped and they laughed, "that's way to many for my liking." Deacon chuckled and kissed her again, "wait?! You slept with Liam?" Rayna looked away, "yeah, right after the accident it was just a fling, no emotions of anything like that." Deacon was happy to hear that, "okay good. Anyway for the people you know, I slept with you, Megan, Stacey, Molly the one who interviewed us, and my first was Allison but you don't know her. Then there are a lot of one night stands and I don't remember how many." She smiled and then was serious, "did you think you loved Allison when you slept with her?" "Yeah, I thought I did but then I met you and it was nothing compared to that. Allison was like a puppy love story it wasn't serious." Rayna smiled and said jokingly, "well, I don't like her." Deacon chuckled and kissed her, "don't worrryyy as I said, you're still the best." Rayna smiled and kissed him again. "Mmm, good." They smiled against each other lips and continued kissing for a bit. "I love you," she whispered. "I love you too Ray." They smiled against each others lips.
