Love At First Glance (Love at Firsts #1)(65)

“You’d think you just asked me to marry you.” I chuckle.

“Not yet, but you can expect it soon though. That’s if you’ll still want me by then.” He chuckles nervously.

“Why would you say that?” I look at him in confusion.

“You know I don’t want kids and you do.” He shrugs.

“Dude, we just got together after fighting for weeks. We’re miles away from having the kids talk.”

“I know, but I know down the line you’ll want them and I probably won’t.” He looks at me with a worried expression.

“If you don’t then we’ll get more pets.”

“You’d be willing to sacrifice kids just to be with me?”

“I always thought I’d have the husband, the white picket fence house, the two-point-five kids, a nine-to-five job and would always be sexually frustrated. I never thought I’d have the one person who makes me truly happy, but I do now. The rest doesn’t matter anymore. We’ll see how things go. Who knows, maybe you’ll be the one who changes their mind and wants kids.” I shrug.

“You really mean that, don’t you?”

“Of course I mean it.” I smile and kiss him again. “Besides, if we don’t have kids, we can still have fur babies.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. I love you. I just want to be with you, the rest doesn't matter.”

“I want to be with you too.” He smiles his perfect smile.

“Good.” I sigh happily.

“You’re my sacred haven.”

“Cheesy.” I laugh.

“Ohh shh. What I was trying to say is that I was living life thinking I’d never be happy unless I had you. I was okay with it for a while, but I never expected things to take such a crazy turn for us and I most certainly never expected you sharing my feelings. My perfect, stubborn woman.”

“Here I am.” I grin. “You’re alright I suppose, I think I’ll keep you.” I grin and hug him.

“You always have to ruin my serious moments.”

“Life is already too serious as it is.”

“So true.” He kisses my head before looking up at the sky and mouthing thank you.

I guess today was a good Monday after all.





CHAPTER 20



I wake up slowly, feeling way too hot and pressed against something hard. At first, I assume I’ve fallen onto the floor in the middle of the night, but when the floor actually moves and moans underneath me, I shoot up.

“What’s wrong, Love?” A very sleepy Spencer says, scaring me to death.

“Nothing.” I sigh in relief and cuddle back into him.

“There must be something wrong, you looked scared.” He caresses my back before pulling me closer to him.

“I kinda forgot I fell asleep in your arms and thought I had fallen out of bed in the middle of the night and stayed there, when you moved, you scared me.” I chuckle and hide in his neck.

“Thank for forgetting, I appreciate it,” he says sarcastically.

“Spence, I’ve never slept so well that I actually forgot where I was. It was the best night of sleep I’ve had in such a long time. It erased all the f*ckedupness from the past couple of weeks.” I smile at him.

“Good. It was good to finally have you in my arms for a full night. Just wish we had gone upstairs, my back is f*cking killing me.” He groans and rolls us over on the couch so we’re on our sides, facing each other.

“Want a massage?” I grin.

“Not now.” He smiles and kisses me softly.

“Why not?” I look at him in confusion after kissing him back.

“Because it’s already seven, we need to go back to your place, feed Bernard and you need to get dressed for work.”

“Way to kill my morning buzz.” I glare at him and sit up.

“Where do you think you’re going, lady?” He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me back down to him.

“Unless you want me to pee on your couch you need let me go to the bathroom.” I chuckle.

“Alright, but just because I love my couch.” He pecks my lips and lets me up. I rush to the bathroom and do my business. I quickly brush my teeth with the toothbrush I leave here before heading back to the kitchen, where the sweet aroma of coffee teases me.

“I still have a few chocolate buns at home, wanna come back and have breakfast with me?” I smile kissing the middle of his back.

“I only want your buns.” He smirks turning around and squeezes my ass.

“Seriously?” I look at him with a blank stare.

“Yes. But chocolate buns sound good too.” He casually shrugs and fills two travel mugs with coffee and half and half.

“You know me so well.” I pick up my mug and walk into the living room to get my stuff.

“That I do and yet you still manage to surprise me.” He smiles and holds me with his free arm around my waist and pulls, bringing me to him for a kiss.

“I’m glad we still surprise each other. You know, I thought it’d be awkward to kiss you at first.”

“And the verdict?” He raises his eyebrow.

“You’re a pretty amazing kisser and it wasn’t awkward at all.” I smile and kiss him softly.
