Mr. Handsome A Billionaire Romance(26)


* * *

I woke up to an empty bed and briefly wondered where the hell Christina could have gone. Then I smelled the aroma of bacon frying and I smiled, my girl was making me breakfast. I quickly got up and pulled on some boxers and a white undershirt before walking down to the kitchen. Christina was indeed making breakfast and wearing one of my t-shirts while doing it. It was big on her and she looked incredibly hot in it.

“Good morning.” I smiled at her while I sat behind the island bar. Christina stretched over the counter top to press a kiss to my lips and I picked up on her good mood.

“Morning. I hope you like cinnamon nutmeg vanilla pancakes.”

Just the way she said it made them sound good.

“If you’re making it, baby I’m sure I’ll love them.”

Christina smirked as she walked back over to the stove top.

“What if I was ordering them in?” she asked coyly and I shrugged.

“Then they wouldn’t be as good,” I said simply, and she smiled and went back to making the pancakes and bacon.

“So what are we going to do today?” she asked curiously and I wondered if she had ever been to a Giants game.

“I have season tickets to the Giants games if you’re into football?” Christina perked up at the suggestion and I saw the familiar glint in her eye of a true football fan. I knew her team wasn’t the Giants, though.

“They are playing the Dolphins today…”

My jaw dropped and I had to prepare myself for the possibility.

“Don’t tell me you’re a Dolphin’s fan…” Christina’s smile was guilty and I clutched at my heart. “A Dolphin’s fan! Oh my goodness, they are everywhere. Honestly, Christina, I don’t mean to offend or anything, but when are you going to stop living in the clouds?”

Christina laughed and then shrugged.

“Hey, another perfect season could happen, you never know. I still believe!”

I laughed hard at her earnest expression.

“I wasn’t even alive yet when they had that mythical perfect season, how could you know?”

Christina stuck her tongue out at me and I wanted to go over there and bite it.

“There’s such a thing called records, plus the Dolphin’s persevere, they’ve been through a lot and one has to respect them for that.” She was really sticking to her team and I had to commend her for that.

“Okay, but if the Giants win today you have to be naughty on the car ride back and give me some attention,” I said suggestively with a wicked grin on my face.

“What about if they lose?”

I snorted and she rolled her eyes, but amended her condition. “Okay if they score at least seven points?”

I smirked. “If they score at least seven points then I won’t make fun of you all season long for liking the Dolphins.”

Christina pursed her lips and then sighed. It was a fair bet, really.

“Fine, but if they score over seven, then I don’t have to give you any attention until we get home.”

I jumped up to shake on that bet and then rubbed my hands together in anticipation.

“This is gonna be a great game I can feel it. Dolphins go down zip to like fifty-four.”

Christina rolled her eyes and started putting pancakes and bacon on each of our plates.

“They’ll get at least one touchdown, I know that much,” Christina said as she joined me at the island bar. I drizzled syrup on the fluffy pancakes and then took a bite.

“Oh my God, Christina…these pancakes are amazing,” I said before taking another bite.

Christina smiled happily, glad that I was enjoying it.

“It was one of my mom’s recipes,” she said tentatively.

“Well, your mom was a great cook and a great teacher, these are the bomb.”

Christina laughed at my use of the old slang word and while we ate I checked the time of the game.

“The game starts in three hours, so we’re good on time if we leave in like two,” I said. I was excited to go to the game, I couldn’t believe that Christina was a true football fan. She simply couldn’t be any more perfect.

We finished our breakfast and then changed, she actually brought a Dolphins jersey with her and I simply shook my head. I’d have to protect her from angry Giants fans, I knew that she’d definitely get a lot of dirty looks.

“You look really sexy in that jersey, baby,” I commented as we left the house. She was wearing tight fitting jeans again and since we had box seats, she was able to wear “wedges”, or whatever she called them, with the outfit.

“Oh? I thought you didn’t like the Dolphins?”

I chuckled and smacked her on the ass as she was climbing into the car, causing her to yelp in surprise.

“I didn’t say you wouldn’t look sexier in a Giants jersey, in fact, I think I know what I want our next bet to be for when the Giants and Dolphins play against each other again.”

“I’m sorry, but you’ll never get me into another team’s jersey.”

I gave her a devious look and a slow smile spread across her face.

“Do you want to bet on that?”

Christina laughed and she shook her head.

“I think you have a gambling problem, Jeffrey, that’s not good at all.” she giggled and I shrugged.
