Anything for you,” I say placing my hand over hers.
“Can you take me away from here for a little while?” She asks kissing the back of my neck.
I laced her fingers with mine and brought her around me so that she was standing in front of me.
“I thought you’d never ask,” I say, snatching the keys to her mustang out of her hand as I lead her towards the door. “Where do you want to go?” I ask even though I already know where I’m going to take her.
“Anywhere but here,” she says as she climbs into the passenger seat. I lean down and kiss her quickly. I will kiss her properly eventually, but not until we get to where we’re going. If I’m lucky, everything will go the way I’ve planned and I’ll even get to taste that sweet pussy of hers. I’ll ride her all the way to oblivion and make her forget all her troubles. After all, I did vow to take care of her and I planned to take good care of her tonight.
The drive is quick and when I slowly roll up to our destination Nikki looks confused. She stares out the window at my childhood home in wonderment before looking back at me.
“What are we doing here?” she asks curiously.
“Do you trust me?” I ask reaching for my door handle.
“Of course I trust you.” She says with a smile. “But that doesn’t mean you get away without answering my question,” she said slyly causing me to laugh.
I walked around the car as she slammed the door closed and I took her hand pulling her towards the house I grew up in. We climbed the stairs together before I reached into my pocket and pulled out the keys.
“How did you get the keys?” she asked as I unlocked the door.
“Jimmy gave them to me when we got back from Florida,” I pushed open the door and flicked the lights on stepping aside for her to enter the house first.
“So why are you still living with Anthony if this house is yours. I mean it’s yours, right? There’s no one else’s it could be,” she rambles on forcing me to take her by the shoulders and turn her around so she actually walks inside the house.
After Jimmy gave me the keys to the house I took a stroll down memory lane and walked through the house, it was funny how it looked just as I remembered it even though Aunt Gina and Nana had lived there for a few years. It was outdated and needed some work so I busied myself over the last few months taking out the old features and replacing it with the ones that Nikki had described to me that she’d one day want in her dream house.
I had promised her one day I’d build her the house of her dreams I may have taken the easy way out by not building it from the ground up but every detail in this house was one out of her dreams. I had stripped the place and made it look like something brand new. I’d always look at the front of this house and think of my parents, but when I walked inside, I’d welcome the new memories this home would hold the memories Nikki and I would make together. Well, that’s if she said yes.
“Oh my God, Mikey!” she exclaimed, walking through the house in awe of my work.
“Did you do all of this?”
I stuck my hands in my pockets and shrugged my shoulders. “Yeah, do you like it?” I asked, hoping that it was everything she ever dreamed of.
We walked into the open kitchen and I watched as she ran her fingers over the granite countertop.
“It’s beautiful,” she whispered lifting her head as her eyes met mine. “It’s just like the house I pictured in my head.”
“Yeah?” I walked around the counter caging her against it with both my arms. I leaned down and nuzzled her neck for a moment before leaning my forehead to hers. “I was hoping you’d say that.”
“Oh yeah?” she asked, wrapping her arms around my neck. “Why is that?”
“Because I want this to be home, but it can’t be unless you share it with me,” I say huskily my eyes darting down to her mouth briefly before lifting to meet her eyes again.
“Move in with me Princess,” my words don’t come out like a question but more like a demand as my hands moved to her hips. In one swift move, I lift her onto the counter top and position myself between her legs.
“What do you say? You and me forever?”
“Forever and ever,” she says, wrapping her legs around my waist. I don’t give her a chance to say anything else as my mouth slams onto hers sealing our promise to share forever with one another.
