I haven't been on a date with Reece since I don't even know how long. It's been forever, or so it feels like. I mean, we have been extremely busy, and we have three children. Not to mention that I have a kingdom to run, and Reece has a corporation to run. We were both so busy.
I was excited though, and I think the others could tell. When they asked me what was making me so happy, I couldn't hide it from them. And I tell you, it was going to take a lot of self control to keep myself in check until Saturday rolled in. GAH!
When the day did finally come though, Reece wouldn't tell me where we were going. He just told me to dress however I wanted, and he will take the rest from there. Did that mean that he would decide the location of the date based on what I was wearing? Well, that was different.
I decided that I didn't want to dress up too much. I would much rather be a little bit on the comfortable side. So, thinking along those lines, I decided to wear a pair of jean shorts and a sky blue tank top with a loose fitting, short sleeved, white button up shirt over top of it. The white shirt was not buttoned though, it was just to give me a little bit more modesty, and to make Reece want to see more of course.
I french-braided my hair, did my makeup, and even set my nails to match the blue of my tank top. For all of that I had used my magic to do it, something that was easier and easier each time that I did it. I just needed to think about what I wanted to do and it 'magically' did it for me. Isn't being a Witwolfae nice? See what I did there? I combined my three species into one name. I know, it was a stupid pun, but that doesn't matter, I thought that it was funny and that is all that matters.
With me now ready for the date, I let Reece 'pick me up' for the night. He came to the door like he did all those years ago when we were first mated and kind of hated each other. Ahh, this brings back such memories for me.
I remember our first few dates so fondly. The first one being when he took me out to dinner following my exams. That had also been the last that I was able to go out for a while because of the attack on our lands.
That first night had been when he kissed me for the second time. He had been super forward and showed me that he desired my body. However, at the time, I didn't know if he liked me for me yet. I knew that he was a horny man, though, he had made that part abundantly clear.
It wasn't until closer to Christmas and New Year's that he actually made me realize that maybe he didn't hate me and maybe he actually kind of liked me. I loved him by then, though. I couldn't help myself. I fell in love with that annoying asshole and decided that I didn't want to get away from him anymore. And when he rescued me from my father and told me that he loved me I thought that the world had flipped upside down, in a good way.
I couldn't believe that I was reminiscing about all of this right now. It had been so long, and I had nearly forgotten about it all. In a way, though, I was glad that I never forgot any of the history that Reece and I shared. Even the bad parts were fond memories that helped us to shape who we are now.
"Are you ready, my love?" Reece asked me when I opened the door that he had just knocked on.
"Yeah, my darling, I do think that I am. Now, where might we be going this evening?" I looked up at him as he took my hand.
"You will see." He was still not telling me. I kind of remember that our dates were like this in the beginning as well. He would plan something elaborate only for me to find out what it was after the fact.
Reece led me out of our room, down and out of the tower, and to the garage where there was a dune buggy waiting for us. He loved these dune buggies and used them to traverse the castle grounds and the surrounding mountains and forest areas.
Reece then drove me to a new, pearly white building that I know wasn't there before. It wasn't all that big, and it was dome shaped with a glass ceiling.
"What is this?" I asked him with my head tilted in confusion.
"We're going to have dinner and then watch the stars." He grinned at me and took my hand as he pulled me from my seat in the dune buggy.
"Really?" I grinned at him. "That is so sweet and romantic. And best of all, it'll just be us."
"Yup. I wanted some alone time with my Little Bunny." His smile was one of pure love, damn he was such a good husband.
"Thank you, Reece. Thank you so much."
I think I really needed this. I needed some peace and quiet along with some alone time with my husband. And best of all, I haven't even heard that annoying whispering voice at all today. Maybe it was because I was looking forward to my date, or maybe because I had gotten so much rest that I didn't feel quite so stressed out or anything like that.
I decided to just snuggle against Reece's side while he took me inside the new building. My heart was thumping with excitement and joy as I felt his firm, reassuring presence. It was going to be an amazing night. I just knew it.
I couldn't help but remember the way that things used to be. The way that Reece and I had been when we first got together and all the changes that had happened between us over the year. I went from wanting to runaway and practically hating him to loving (almost) everything about him. What better love could I have ever asked for? What better life could I have asked for?
I can answer that. None. There was no better life, there was no better love. What I had with Reece was the best life I could have ever imagined.. And that was why I was looking forward to this date so much.
