Okay. So, I thought that the last chapter was going to be my last one for tonight. But I can tell you this right now, that this chapter is really going to be my last one for tonight. Now, I want to remind you that I have changed which house that Matt and Gabby are living in, and I hope that I will be able to work this out properly. But if you have any questions regarding previous chapters, and changes that happened in later chapters…then please send me a message, and I will try and give you the best answer I can; while at the same time, I can correct any mistakes that I may have made in other chapters. After all, I am not a professional writer, and I am just trying my best.
Also. I want to just say this. I am going to try and fix some of the previous storylines to fit into my new storyline, which has to changed based on the fact that the setting changed. I hope that it works out for us. Thanks again for reading.
Chapter Three Hundred and Fifty-Four
You Don't Mess with a Man's Tools
Casey Home, Wayne, Illinois – He was currently in the garage of his and Gabby's home, doing something productive rather than just staying in bed with her at the moment; and just what might that be? Well, as you know; he does have a dog, and he needs to ensure that he gets some exercise. So, he decided to pull his truck out of the garage (as that's what he has here right now, his truck) and close all the garage doors; after which, he grabbed a ball and brought Andy out in here with him. That way, he could run while he was putting his tools away; yet at the same time, he also knew that he may need to go help his mother in the guest house at some point. After all, he may have put some of his tools in there; as he seems to be missing some, because he was missing some.
And they were in fact in his mother's house here on his property, but due to the fact that she took them. "Oh, Matt." Turning around to look at his mother, Matt saw that she was coming back with a bunch of his tools. "Oh, I wondered where those tools were." Nancy agreed with her son as he said that, while closing the door behind her so that Andy didn't run away; especially since he was rushing over to her at the moment, which was something that always made her worry. So much so, that she learned how to stop a dog from jumping up on you, which would be to put your hand out, and she did just that. She put her hand out so that he didn't jump up on her. "Andy, down." Matt snickered as he heard his mom say that. "Mom, calm down. He won't jump, as he's trained not to." Nancy agreed.
Yet she was also still a bit apprehensive when it came to just believing him right away, as she's been burned by a man before; then again, this is her son and his own dog that she's talking about. "Listen, I have these here for you." Matt agreed with his mother as he went to grab the tools, only to see that she damaged one of them, which is something that she could tell she did, based solely on how he was looking at her at the moment. "Okay, I did something wrong. I can see it on your face." Matt sighed, before walking over to his mother; after which, he showed her what she did. "You just chipped this one a bit." Nancy agreed with her son. "I'm sorry." Matt agreed with his mother, before smiling as he wrapped his arm around her and kissed her cheek. "It's fine mom." Nancy agreed.
"So, what do you think of your home?"
Nancy smiled as she heard her son ask her that. "What did I tell you? I don't need my own home." Matt snickered. "I know, I said it yesterday. But it was to surprise you, as I was hoping you would've thought that I was going to make that my office." Nancy thought about it and smiled. "Let me stay here for a bit, and when I find a place…" Matt then got close to his mom, before grabbing her hand as that was the last thing that she was going to do. "Mom, you aren't leaving. This is your home, and it's always going to be your home." Nancy agreed with her son, as she got close to him and hugged him; however, there was another reason why he wanted her here. "Plus, it'll be good for the future." Nancy was confused. "And why's that?" Matt smirked, before leaning back and looking at her.
"If they ever get too annoying or interrupt my work; then I can just tell them to go visit grandma."
Nancy laughed as she heard Matt say that. "How did I not expect you to say that?" Matt agreed with his mother as she said that, though he knew that she loved that idea. "Oh, don't act like you don't LOVE that idea. Plus, this is going to be me and Gabby's home. Sure, it's a bit far from Chicago…but we love it already." Nancy agreed. "How far is it from Chicago?" Matt smiled. "About an hour." Nancy agreed with her son as he said that, well aware that was the case. "Yeah, that is a bit of a drive." Matt nodded. "But it's good. I like it out here…because there's another reason." Nancy was confused as she heard her son say that, and she was starting to wonder why. "Well, are you going to tell me why?" Matt nodded. "It's better for my PTSD." Realizing that, Nancy agreed with her son.
After which, she got close to him and proceeded to hug him. "I hate that you have PTSD sweetheart." Matt agreed, as he ran his hand up and down her back. "Things are getting better, but I Just need to take it easy and relax. And this place will help me do that. Plus, the bedrooms are basically all ready for the kids. God, the boys are going to love the Whinny the Pooh room." Nancy agreed with her son. "You really outdid yourself for the kids." Matt smiled. "I want to spoil them and give them…" Matt then went to shut up, as he didn't want to say that. "Mom, you know that we loved our childhood." Nancy laughed, before going to hug her son. "No need to lie Matt, I know that it wasn't the best; and I already know what you're trying to say. And you sure will do that." Matt agreed with his mom.
After all, his kids were going to have a great life here. "Listen, as much as I want to see you here; I…" That's when Matt realized something. "I thought that you were going to Christie's tonight." Nancy laughed. "I knew you were busy, and it seemed like you forgot I have my own house in the backyard." Matt agreed with his mom, as he was busy. But now, he needs to take a breath and just relax. "I think that I need to relax and just take it easy then." Nancy agreed with her son as he said that, as she thought that was a great idea. "I think that would be a wonderful idea, for you to just relax and spend some time with your wife for a while." That's when Matt heard Gabby come out into the garage. "I thought that would be a great idea." Turning around to look at Gabby, Matt smiled.
After which, he extended his hand as he wanted her to come close to him. "Come here you." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, before walking over to the man she loves; after which, she proceeded to grab his hand and intertwined their fingers. "Let me guess, decided to unpack some more without me?" Matt agreed with Gabby. "Just my tools." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, before cuddling up to more; meanwhile, Matt wrapped his arm around her and smiled as he kissed her forehead. "Let me guess, you want to spend some more time alone with me?" Gabby agreed with Matt, as that most certainly is exactly what she wants to do. "Is that okay?" Matt agreed with Gabby. "More than okay. Talk later mom." Nancy agreed, as she watched her son walk away with his wife.
Casey Primary Suite – They were back where he belonged, back upstairs in their room where they have time to be with each other. To be intimate with each other, and to show each other love; as that's what they want to do today, show each other love. And that most certainly is exactly what Matt was in the midst of doing, as he carried Gabby into their room. However, he didn't bother with closing the door to their room; and that was due to the fact that they were alone here in their home, as his mother lived in the guest house. And that meant that he really had it all. He had a home where he lived with his beautiful wife, while also having his mother close to him; and that was why he was all smiles at the moment, as he walked up to his and Gabby's bed and set her down next to it.
Meanwhile, Gabby unwrapped her arms from his neck as she was no longer in the air and could stand on her own. "God, I love it when you carry me to be." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before putting his hands on her hips and bending down to kiss her softly; meanwhile, Gabby put her hands on his chest and took things nice and slow with her husband. However, it wasn't long before Matt put his hand on her neck and bent down to kiss her neck softly. "God, you are so sexy." Gabby agreed with Matt, smiling as she wrapped her arms around his back. "And I am so glad that we got a place way out here." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that. "You know, I've been meaning to talk to you about that ever since we came back from Molly's…but we just never got the chance."
Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, well aware of just what he was talking about. "Yeah, we've been a bit busy too." Matt nodded. "Want to get in bed? We can talk for a bit as we hold each other?" Gabby agreed with Matt as she put her hands on his face, kissing the man she loves once more; after which, she told him the condition she has for them talking in bed. "Well, I have some conditions." Matt was confused as he heard Gabby say that. "And what would that be?" Gabby smirked. "You need to be wearing nothing more than your boxers, and we need to hold each other in bed." Stepping close to Gabby, Matt smirked as he put his hands on her hips and bent down to kiss her softly. "I think that those conditions can be met quite easily my dear." Gabby agreed and smiled at her man.
After which, Matt proceeded to grab Gabby's shirt so that he could take it off for her; after all, that's exactly what Gabby wants him to do. She wants him to take off her shirt, so that they can have each other in bed; well, at least hold each other in bed. And that's exactly what Matt did, he undid his beautiful wife's shirt; only to reveal the sexy lingerie that she's wearing. After which, he looked down at it and tugged her body against his chest. "Oh, now daddy loves this." Gabby agreed with Matt, while also feeling him push her shirt onto the ground; meanwhile, she grabbed his pants as that's her job. To take off his pants. "Oh, someone really wants to go fast." Gabby agreed with Matt, as she most certainly does; and that's why she just took off his belt, and also undid his button. "No sex."
Matt agreed with Gabby, as he felt the same way; as much as he wanted to hold Gabby in bed, he didn't want to have sex with her. So, he was more than okay with saying yes to that. "Agreed." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that, before helping him with his pants; after which, she made them fall onto the ground so that he was in his boxers. Meanwhile, Matt proceeded to grab his shirt and took it off so that he was just wearing his boxers; and now that was perfect, especially since it's exactly what Gabby wants. She wants her husband to be in his boxers, and to hold her in his arms, which is something that he's going to be doing much sooner than she expected him to be, as he soon wrapped his arm around her bottom and picked her up in his arms. "Woah." Matt agreed, smirking.
After which, he felt Gabby wrap her arms around his neck as she stared into his eyes; bending down at the same time, Matt proceeded to grab his clothes as he just continued to stare at his gorgeous wife. "Damn, you are so sexy." Grabbing the back of Matt's head, Gabby agreed as she loves her husband more than anything. "And you are very handsome too my loving husband." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, while carrying his clothes to his hamper; after which, he proceeded to set his clothes down and smiled due to the fact that he was now ready to get in bed with his beautiful some…which is exactly what they both want to do right now. They want to get in bed with each other and hold each other close today as they enjoy each other in bed. While at the same time, they'll talk.
The first thing they're going to talk about? Just why he was downstairs anyways.
Cuddling up to Matt in their bed, Gabby smiled as she was extremely happy; happy to be in his arms, as they just held each other in bed. "God, I am so comfortable." Matt smiled as he heard Gabby tell him that, while wrapping his arm around her and stroking her (now bra-less) back. And that was due to the fact that he ended up convincing Gabby to let him take off her bra on his way to the hamper, before doing just that; after which, he set all of their clothes down in their hamper so that they were ready to get in bed. And boy are they happy to be in bed with each other, as they are extremely comfortable right now. "God, now if this isn't comfortable." Gabby snickered in returned, as they both now knew that they were comfortable. "So, the garage is looking quite nice." Matt agreed.
After all, he was just working in there. "Thanks for letting me bring my truck along, I really wanted it here, because it's great for Chicago." Gabby agreed with Matt. "Hey, I said we get a truck; just as long as we also brought a Tesla. I just know that all of our friends hate the fact that we got to bring cars, but they didn't. They had to rent some at the airport for now." Matt agreed with Gabby, well aware that was the case; yet at the same time, he has no regrets. No regrets that he decided to bring his truck, as he needs it here. "I need it here, as I want reliable transportation for work." Gabby agreed with Matt, before cuddling up to him. "A very long commute." Matt shook his head. "Not really, not when I'm going to built the office out here." Gabby was surprised. "Really?" Matt agreed.
"I was thinking that we could have the training facility out here, and I could have my day-to-day office here; then we can have a small office downtown for official stuff. Or just have it all out here."
Gabby smiled, as she actually liked the idea of having an office out here. "To tell you the truth, I think I would rather have an office out here in the country; that way, we're away from the city and everything." Matt agreed with Gabby, before running his hand up and down her back. "And you're close to that gorgeous closet." Gabby snickered. "I still can't believe you got us this place, as it really is gorgeous. Oh, and the bath was great." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, well aware that she loved the bath; and the truth was, he loved the bath as well. "I loved the bath too, and it truly was great. Very comfortable, and something that I can't wait to do with you on a regular basis; and during the pandemic, I think that we can." Gabby agreed with Matt, while smiling at her husband.
After which, she got nice and close to him; wrapping her arms around his neck, Gabby smirked as she slipped her legs in between his as a way to tease him. Meanwhile, Matt wrapped his arm around Gabby's back as he held her close to him; stroking it with his thumb afterwards, Matt smiled as this really is paradise. Yes, Hawaii is literally paradise; but this is their real paradise, being here in Chicago. "Do you ever feel like this is our real paradise?" Looking at Matt as he asked her that question, Gabby already knew exactly what he was talking about; and he was referring to how they're already much happier in Chicago, as there are a lot more things they know here. "Being completely honest, I was a bit apprehensive moving back to Chicago when we first agreed to it." Matt agreed, nodding.
After all, that was something that he knew; it was never something that he even questioned, as he could tell the entire time that they were moving that Gabby was apprehensive about it. "Now that we live here though?" Gabby smiled, as she was really happy that they live here once more. "I have no regrets whatsoever, as I love being home with you. This is home for us, and it's the city where we fell in love." Matt agreed with Gabby. "Well, technically Chicago is. We live in Wayne." Gabby snickered, agreeing with Matt. "And honestly, I love the fact that we live in Wayne; and that's due to the open fields that we have here, and just how relaxing it is. Plus, I have a feeling that I know why you want to be way out here." Matt sighed, as that was the reason why they lived out here.
Well, instead of living in Chicago proper; and it was for his PTSD. "I just hope you aren't mad about that, us having to live WAY out here for my PTSD?" Gabby shook her head, as she most certainly was not mad that they live out here. "Baby, I will NEVER be mad that we live way out here; and that's because of how much space we have here, and just how much land we have. We have so many opportunities here, and I know that you also bought land out here to create an office. And for us to live close to the office, but not at the office is perfect." Matt sighed as he heard Gabby say that. "I think that was one thing that I regretted about the Hawaii office, just how we had a penthouse there; if I could go back, we would've never had a penthouse there." Gabby agreed with Matt.
And she knew why. "Because we need to have a work-life balance. Balance that helps us relax as much as we need to, which is exactly what we're in the midst of doing right now. We're taking it easy for your health." Matt agreed with Gabby, as that most certainly is the truth; and he loves how that's the truth, because he loves her. "I hope you know just how much I love you." Gabby agreed with Matt as she got close to him, before moving her hands to his chest and leaning in to kiss him softly; after which, he took things nice and slow with the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. "God, I love you." Gabby agreed with Matt, as she feels the same way about her husband. "So, what do you like the most about this place so far?" Matt smirked. "The distance." Gabby was confused.
"I mean, how we live with my mom but…"
Gabby then understood. "How we live close to her and have her on our property; but she doesn't live in the same home as us. Honestly, I feel the same way; I feel like we need that bit of separation." Matt nodded. "And I think that's why I bought this place…especially since she has a three-bedroom house." Gabby smirked, while moving closer to her husband and putting her hands on his face. "Oh, now if that isn't the truth." Leaning in, Matt smirked as he took things nice and slow with the woman he loves. "That means that the kids can always sleep over, whenever we want mommy-daddy time." Gabby laughed, while getting close to him and wrapping her arms around his neck once more; meanwhile, Matt wrapped his arm around her back and just held his beautiful wife.
He held her close to him, just like she wanted him to. "I want you so bad." Gabby smirked as she heard Matt say that. "And I want to take a bath really bad." Matt smirked as he heard Gabby say that. "Well then, maybe we should get you dirty first." Gabby agreed with Matt, as she watched him roll over on top of her; after which, he bent down and proceeded to move his hand to her side. Meanwhile, she put her hands on his toned chest as they held each other close; as they held each other, and just took some time alone where they concentrate on nothing more than each other. And that starts with Matt moving his hand down her body and getting her undressed. "God, you are so sexy." Gabby agreed with Matt, as she thought the same thing about her husband. "So are you baby."
Matt agreed with Gabby as he kissed her again, and just smirked as he took things nice and slow with Gabby; just like she wanted him to this afternoon. And boy did they love taking things nice and slow with each other, as it truly is their favorite thing to do; to take things nice and slow with each other and make each other feel incredibly loved. And right now, that's exactly what Matt and Gabby are doing with each other. They're holding each other close, while making each other feel incredibly loved; while showing each other that they love each other in the most intimate way possible, which would be to make sweet love to each other in bed. The bed that they're really breaking in now that they're home. Home Sweet Home. "God, I missed Chicago. Sex is better here." Gabby laughed.
After all, she felt the same way. "Want to know what makes a round of sex the best?" Matt nodded. "You shutting up, kissing me, and getting to work. That's what makes a round of sex the best." Matt agreed with his wife, as that most certainly is the truth; so, he let go of her hand and moved his hand to her neck. After which he bent down and took things nice and slow with the woman of his dreams. The only woman that you can really say he loves, and will always love as Gabby is the love of his life (and the mother of his children).
