Chapter 26 Relaxing with my Girl

We were back at home sitting on the couch Gisele had her legs crossed resting on my lap while she leaned back against the arm of the couch. We hadn't eaten at our sneak attack brunch so the woman who was always in Gisele's car was cooking us lunch.

"Ugh this weekend was supposed to be all sexy naked time. I really didn't think my family would be such buzzkills this fast. I should be happy I guess that didn't even consider me worth recognizing for the better part of a decade. So even if I hate their attitude at least we're moving forward."

I started massaging her feet. I wanted to make her feel better, but the situation sucked and there were no words I could offer to change that. So I bet big on what we were trying to cultivate together and I told her my honest opinion. "Angel I love you, but you know I think in their own way so does your family, or maybe that's just what I want to believe. Would it hurt for us to stay at your place. I mean you said that's where we'd have to live when we get married anyways right?"

She looked at me in shock and took her feet off my lap spinning around so her face was millimeters away from mine, "Mrs. Newmoccer is that a proposal?"

"Don't get ahead of yourself Gi Gi," I chuckled, Gisele did not look so amused, "O sorry, wait, what's wrong?" I was so confused and for some reason I felt like I had just punched my girlfriend.

"Jul, I love you and I'm sure you meant nothing by it. You probably just heard everyone close to me say it and you felt like we were close enough for you to say it too. It's not a term of endearment you know. When we were children we all had nicknames. Slowly everybody grew out of theirs, but they insisted on using mine. One day when I was nineteen I told them I ran my own business and was making more money then most of them. I was respected by many business organizations and I was doing charity work. By any measure of the word I was an adult and it was only fair they treated me as one. Michael told me as long as I lay on my back all day and play with toys then I'm a kid. He insisted the others use the name. He's an overbearing monster who wants control over the whole family. Harper does it cause I called her Harpy in front of a girl she liked, maybe I was angry she was willing to replace me. She is my oldest friend after all. So please love any pet name or nickname is fine just not Gi Gi ok?"

I leaned in and kissed her, "Ok my temptress, so what do you say take me to your room tonight, maybe I can even get a peek in your jewelry bow," I give her quick before heading to my bedroom.

"You don't need to pack love. You already have a wardrobe at my house lets just eat and relax we'll head over after a bit."

We ate and made pleasant conversation then we put on a movie and cuddled. All of the sudden she looked at me and said, "Seems silly to have forgotten this when I was making confession and I'm sure you've already figured this out, but I never needed the bus. I just wanted to get to know you."

I can only imagine what my face looked like, but her face in response went Ghost white. HEr mouth was wide open and her eyes teared up. She must've thought she hand just made the biggest mistake of her life. So I scrambled to pull my thoughts together, "Sorry, I did in fact already assume as much. However you telling me that made me remember a little white lie I told you. My car has been done for a while now. I was supposed to pick it up last Saturday. I'll be lucky if they haven't sold it."

She just started laughing, slapping at my shoulders, "Your terrible," she informed me when her laughter finally died out, "Here I am worried I just ended our relationship and your wondering whether or not your car was totaled. We'll look it to it Monday, bu it's usually just a scare tactic."

She slapped me a couple more times and I couldn't help but think as amazing as last night was, this is what love really was. I flopped against her, hugging firmly to me, "I love you babe, lets go home."

With that we locked my house and headed to Gisele family home.
