I don't normally like surprises. Never had a good one. That is until the other day. I work the night shift. When I came out of work the other morning, there was a surprise on my jeep. Well, not ON exactly. More like leaning against. I couldn't believe it. My heart skipped a beat. There was a sexy man leaning there. The best part was, he was MY sexy man.
When I walked up to him, he grabbed me and pulled me so close we could have been wearing the same clothes. He kissed me hard, deep and long. Eric finally broke of the kiss after several of my friends and coworkers started honking their horns and applauding.
"Morning my pet. How was work?" he asked smiling his gorgeous smile down at me.
"It was work. Better now that I'm out and my man is here to see me."
"I wanted to give you a little surprise."
"Well, it was a nice surprise."
"Oh, well, this isn't' the surprise. It's just the preview." he said with a chuckle.
"Oh really?" I asked
"Oh really. Come on. I want you to follow me."
So, he gave me another kiss, then opened the door to my jeep. I got in and he went to his own truck and we left. I wondered where we were going. I soon found out.
Eric had a camper at the local campground. He had been spending his weekends there even though he had been home during the week. That's where he took me. When we got to the campsite, we parked and Eric came over and opened for me. I got out of the jeep and he was still standing 'in the door' so it put our bodies close together. He leaned in to kiss me again. Slow, easy, deep. I LOVE Eric's kisses.
Then he backed away and took me by the hand and led me inside his camper. Needless to say, I was surprised. Inside there were flowers and a few balloons. As far as I knew, it wasn't a special day, so I had no idea what was going on.
"What's all this?" I asked.
"Well, I don't think I've shown you how much you mean to me lately," he replied as he leaned over to kiss me again.
"You didn't have to buy flowers and balloons to show me," I said. "I don't need material things. I have you."
"There's more. I have to tell you something, my pet."
Oh no, here it comes. I knew it was too good to be true. No surprise ever turns out good for me.
Eric chuckled. It was like he knew what I was thinking. "Now, now, my pet. You worry too much. This is a good thing I have to tell you."
Since it was a tiny camper, the only place to really sit together was on the edge of the bed. We sat facing each other, each of us with one leg on the bed and the other hanging off the edge. I put my leg over Eric's and he pulled me close to him. I was feeling nervous and he knew it. I looked down at his fingers as he entwined them with mine on one hand. With the other, he reached up and took my chin in his hand, raising my face so we could look each other in the eyes.
"Relax, my pet," he said as he leaned in and pulled me close. He kissed me so tenderly. When he pulled back, I looked him in the eye and smiled.
"That's better. Now, I have something to tell you."
I braced myself expecting....I don't know. He was reassuring me, but I still had a nervous twinge.
"Let me just say this. I love you, my pet. I have loved you for a long time. I have never said it because I didn't think you'd be around this long."
