Cautious Love

After a while I pulled away, smiling at her. I got my point across. "Soon." I said.

I smiled and nodded. "Okay." I whispered, and I kissed him once more before pulling away and smiling. I looked down and saw something poking out of his pocket and I frowned, reaching over and pulling it out. A cigarette? "You smoke?" I asked, bewildered.

I looked down at my pocket, tucking them back in. "Only very occasionally." I said, and I looked up at her. "Like once every other day." I said.

I stared at him for a moment, biting back an angry comment, but she slowly tucked it back in his pocket. "Okay."

"I don't understand why it makes you so angry Astoria.." I said softly, looking away

"I'm not angry." I answered calmly, offering a small smile. "You're grown. You can do whatever you want.."

I grabbed the cigarettes and I tossed them in the trash, sitting down. "Well it upsets you, and I don't like that." I said, I had to stop smoking. I wasn't addicted so it wouldn't be that hard. I've leaned off then quite a bit.

"I'm not upset." I answered, reaching out and taking his hand in mine. I don't want to tell him want to do.. It's his life.

"I'll quit, I should anyway." I said, kissing the back of her hand, smiling, moving on. "How many more appointments do you have?" I asked

I squeezed his hand softly. "Just a few.."

I nodded. "After that we can sort out all the rest of the wedding plans." I said and I looked up at her, glad this thing was almost done..

I nodded. "Yeah." I whispered. I sighed. "Wanna go to the lake?" I asked.

I looked at her, and grinned. "Sounds amazing." I said. "Let's go." I said, standing. It was dark ourside , and no one ever was in the area. "Skinny dipping?.. Hmmm?"

I giggled. "Sure." I replied. We walked out to the lake with some towels and once we were there, I stripped and got in.

I did the same and dove in after her, hugging her from behind in the shallow water. "Boo .."

I giggled and leaned back against him. "Oh I'm so scared." I teased sarcastically.

"Good." I said, laughing and kissing her neck softly. My hands ran up and down her sides slowly, my hands eager to feel her soft skin again.

I smiled and closed my eyes, enjoying the feel of his strong hands. I opened my eyes and looked up at the beautiful full moon. It's so romantic.

"I don't know how much longer I can wait," I said, my hands roaming to her front and rubbing her ribs softly below her breasts . she was perfect...

I bit my bottom lip and I could feel a tingling sensation between my legs. "I guess we'll find out baby.."

"Let's get inside.." I said, kissing her lips softly. I got out of the water and I dried off

I nodded and got out, drying off and putting my clothes on, following him inside.

I got my clothes on as well, and I set the towels in the hamper and I sat on the bed and looked up at her, smiling sweetly.

I smiled and walked over to him, leaning down and kissing him for a moment. "I love you." I mumbled against his lips.

"I love you too.." I said, and I pulled her down, and I pinned her wrists to the bed gently and playfully. "Got you."

I giggled and looked up at him, biting my bottom lip. "Yes you do.." I answered softly.

"Forever." I said, smiling. My phone beeped, and I sighed, and got up and turned it on silent, and I turned the lights down, and I sat by her , and acted like normal. .. Then I began to tickle her sides, knowing she didn't expect it

I gasped in surprise and I began to laugh uncontrollably. "A-Angus!" I gasped, fighting against him.

I chuckled, and k was both gentle and rough, not wanting to hurt her. I slowly eased off, laughing at her reaction. Lucky for me I was not ticklish

I stuck my tongue out at him and sat up. "That was mean." I said breathlessly.

"How can I make it up to you? Hmm?" I asked, with a wink, eyeing her body slowly

I bit my bottom lip. "Like this.." I slowly leaned up and kissed him gently.

I kissed her back sweetly, my hand gently resting on her face.

After a long moment, I slowly pulled away and smiled, looking into his eyes.

I then pulled her into my lap. "I don't know what I would do without you .." I said softly.

"Well, it's a good thing you'll never have to find out." I whispered, kissing his forehead.

I nodded, and I pressed my forehead to her neck, and kissed her neck gently.. After a little while I sighed. "You know my brother does not know that our dad is dead.." I said. "They were so close.."

I rose an eyebrow and looked down at him. "He doesn't know what he did to your mom?" I asked.

I shook my head. "He knows she is dead, just not that he did it. He is that distant with us.." I said, looking up at him, "You remember him right? Kind of a jerk. But he has his nice moments." I said.

I nodded. "I mean, I kind of remember him.." I said. "He used to tease us and say that I was your girlfriend." I said with a chuckle.
