If Only

Thirty Four

After I finished making breakfast he came downstairs joining me "you never make breakfast" he raised a brow in confusion

"I felt like being a good upstanding citizen, it's a Saturday and I was in the mood for breakfast-" he took the spatula from my hand

"And I'll make it for you, your a hazard in the kitchen Tesoro" I gasped pretending to be hurt by his playful words

"I'm sorry it's the truth tesoro" he kissed my cheek "maybe our little girl fools you into thinking inedible food is good" I stepped away and he slapped my ass further annoying me but at the same time turning me on

"Hands to yourself Mr.Crawford" He chuckled as I sat down on one of the wooden stools at the island table "maybe I should get you the kiss the cook apron?"

"Maybe you shouldn't" it was a warning towards me but I saw it more so a challenge

"I'll think about it" he jest shaking his head in disagree as I smirked "come on it would be so cute, you can bring it to Cornwall.. make me a special breakfast"

"I don't think we have the same idea in mind for special breakfast Tesoro" I felt my cheeks heat at his words

"Oh well what's your idea?" I made my way back to him and before I could think he quickly lifted me onto the counter pulling me into him

"This" he kissed me passionately slipping a hand in my shirt holding my harden nippled. Then the buzzing of his phone slipped his hand away

He groaned letting go of me as I pouted, he set fire to every inch of my body within a matter of seconds. I slipped down from the counter and began to cut strawberries

"Grazie Jillian" he sighed and then placed his phone down turning back to me

"I did not burn the French toast!" I placed it on two plates dividing them equally but extra strawberries for me

We sat together enjoying breakfast with the view of New York but more so of him "I love you" I couldn't help but just say it out-loud while staring at him, my emotions had overcome me most recently

It was true, I loved him, I actually knew what it felt like to live fully and deeply. I wasn't fully alone anymore in ways, it wasn't manipulative or obsessive, there was no jealousy or hatred. It was just pure

"I love you to" he kissed my cheek placing a hand on my bump "thank you for this" he whispered "I appreciate your attempt at breakfast and to my surprise it tastes good"

"You stunned, your wife can actually master a food!" He rolled his eyes as I passed him the newspaper i held in hand. It made me feel more down to earth reading from a paper, more in the moment in the mornings

Will and Lauren walked through the elevator as I stood in the kitchen alone "he went to the office for an emergency a few hours back but he should be back any time now" Lauren went off to the dining room

"Oh my god this is perfect" she squealed from the other room

"I made his favorites and added some of my cravings" She came back taking me into her arms
