Chapter 6
"Is that the last box?" I asked, as my very tired boyfriend bought the last of my things into and I can't believe I'm saying this, OUR APARTMENT.
Four months, several compromises on both sides and one completely re-thought degree later and I finally find myself contentedly perched on our couch.
"The last one." He smirks wildly, seeming content just to drop it down in the spare bedroom and stare at me; stretched out and happy across the blue cotton. I did help, I swear, I guess the baby just zapped my energy levels at little sooner than I anticipated.
"Do you have any idea how cute you are when you're tired?" Dex says warmly making his way over, sitting and then stroking my face til I sigh.
"Not a clue. Please, feel free to tell me."
"Okay," He chuckles. "I love the way your nose crinkles when you dream. You get this smile on your face and I have to stop myself from kissing you awake."
"Hmm Like this?" I say crinkling my nose in the exact way he's talking about but, adding a light brush of my lips which he deepens as I pull him so that he's comfortably on top of me. I figured it would be the last time that we could be this spontaneous for a while, what with our jellybean growing away.
"Yeah." He presses small kisses on my lips and moves down until his lips reach my womb tenderly.
"Well, I love how you talk to her at night when you think I'm asleep."
"You hear me?" Dex says, refocusing his attention, eyes warm and lovingly fixed on mine
"Your voice is soothing." I shrug. "I feel safe and I adore how much you love us both already."
He smiles and goes for my neck sucking lightly til I moan his name in a whisper.
"Rachel." He says a little lost in pleasure as I tease my sweater off a moment later while tugging at his lips.
"We'll be careful." I say huskily in his ear. "Besides, we've spent the last few weeks at your parent's place and we couldn't exactly sneak around."
"No." He says gently scooping me up in his arms. Now wonderfully shirtless he responds to my kisses as we head to the bedroom.
"It sucked." I emphasised. "I love your mom and I'm getting there with your dad but, babe…"
"It sucked." He mimicked before proceeding to blow that statement right out of the water.
"Well, I can confidently say. That did not suck." Kissing him lightly as we are comfortably wrapped in each- other's arms new sheets and all breathing heavily.
"Ha. C'mere." He moves over me and kisses me over and over until, I giggle and break.
"To moving in."
"To our family."
"To the future." He pecks already looking like he's got a plan in his mind that I'm sure I will be privy to sooner or later.
