EXCERPT:
“They’re gonna be here any minute, babe. Are you done over there?” I peek at Bridgette on the other side of the kitchen.
“Yes, the profiteroles are ready.”
While washing her hands, I sneak up behind my fiancée, enveloping her in my arms. I pull her hair back and nuzzle her neck.
“That tickles, and you’re slowing me down. I wanna freshen up a bit before they arrive.”
“Just reminding you how much I adore you.”
Bridge lets go of the dish towel and turns around pecking my lips. “This will have to do for now. I’ll be back in a few minutes.
Grabbing the towel, I hold the end and pop her backside with it. “Don’t forget the flour on your forehead.”
“Hey, watch it buddy.” She looks over her shoulder flashing a smile that warms me all over.
“I’ll let you know when I see their car coming up the drive.”
“Okay,” she yells from the powder room under the stairs.
I sure hope mother doesn’t give Bridgette a hard time about the wedding planning. I know just how involved and pushy she can get. The last thing I want is for my fiancée to have any more added stress leading up to the big day.
This visit is going to be interesting, to say the least. I’m getting an odd feeling about them showing up so last minute, especially after mentioning the news they wanted to share with me.
A couple minutes later, I yell, “I see their car, you almost ready?” Hearing footsteps, I turn around. “Whoa, look at you. How am I supposed to focus on my parents with you dressed like that?”
“You act like I’m half dressed. It’s just a sundress and heels. I wanted to look nice.”
“Babe, you look nice in jeans and a t-shirt. Mom already likes you, remember? And you won dad over the first time he met you.”
Grabbing her hand, I pull her into me, as she utters, “I like dressing up sometimes. Can’t I look good for my man?”
“I’m only saying you don’t have to try to look good. You’re beautiful inside and out no matter what you wear.”
The doorbell rings as she tips her head up for a kiss. “Saved by the bell.” She winks and lowers her arms.
