Hallie’s P.O.V
I was sitting by the water, relaxing and taking in the view. Deacon was inside making us some lunch, I offered to help but he never let me. I can’t believe he booked us our own beach house for the entire weekend, it was perfect for our year anniversary.
“Hallie baby lunch is ready.” Deacon called from the porch
I hesitantly pulled myself to my, enjoying sitting there too much. I headed up, Deacon had lunch and wine ready on the table for us. As soon as I approached him, he pulled me close, kissing me softly before the two of us took our seats. The view from the decking was incredible too, actually the view from anywhere in this house was incredible.
“I have booked you in to get your hair and nails done tomorrow evening, know you have been talking about them getting done but never had the time.” He said
“What? Why? Tomorrow us our year anniversary, I would rather spent it with you.” I pouted
“Don’t worry baby, we have all day tomorrow, your appointment isn’t until four and then I have a surprise for you tomorrow night, I am sending you away to get things organised.” He smirked
What was he up to? I eyed him suspiciously but he never gave anything away. He gave me a quick wink, taking a sip of his wine. He was not gonna tell me, I would need to wait and see but I am sure whatever it was I would love it, his surprises were always really good.
“I have decided I am not going home. I am staying here forever.” I said as we ate our lunch
“What and leave me to go back home without you?” he pouted at me “You can’t do that, that will make me sad.” He added a smile creeping on his lips
“Obviously not. You will stay here with me duh!” I said giggled
“Only if baby…only if, maybe one day.” he smiled reaching over and placed his hand on mine
“That would be amazing.” I smiled
“You never know maybe we can come back here and raise some babies.” He winked
Babies? It is not something we have spoken about, it has been mention once or twice when Penny has been around but we have never really discussed it.
“I have never asked you, not really do you want kids Deacon?” I asked nervously
I was not too sure if it was too soon to ask him this but no going back now. Deacon grabbed my hand, tugging it and motioning me to come over to him. I stood from my chair, making my way over to him and he pulled me onto his lap, wrapping his arm around me
“I do my love…two or three at least. You?” He asked
“Same.” I smiled
“You do?” he asked and I nodded “Do you think about those things with me?” he added
“No, I think about those things with my next boyfriend I have lined up.” I laughed shaking my head “Of course it is you I think about when I think of these things.” I added stroking his face
“Thank God for that. I do too.” He smiled reaching in to kiss me softly
“I love you Deacon.” I whispered against his lips
“I love you too my love.” He said, playing with my hair
I pulled myself from his lap, reaching my hand out to him, Deacon taking it and I pulled him to his feet.
“Let’s go a walk.” I smiled
He wrapped his arm around me and I rested my head on his shoulder. Deacon reached down, placing a soft kiss on the top of my head. And like every other time he done that the butterflies in my stomach started. I looked up at him, smiling
“You wanna tell me why you are getting rid of me tomorrow for a few hours?” I giggled
“Nope! The point of a surprise my love, you don’t know what it is. You will need to wait and see won’t you?” he said smugly, winking at me
“Your mean.” I pouted at him
“I know baby but it will be worth it…promise.” He said prodding my nose
***********
Deacon and I had been out walking for the last few hours, snapping photos and enjoying our surroundings. I was walking in the water, the heat warm so was trying to cool myself down a little. I was kicking water at Deacon, laughing as he pretended not to be too pleased that I was doing it
“Do that again baby I will through you in.” he chuckled
“You wouldn’t? You are meant to love me.” I said with a petted lip
Deacon pulled me close to him, holding me against his chest
“I do love you…very much but if you soak me again then I not hesitate to through you into the ocean.” He said
“And then I will just out a s*x ban on you for a week, how does that sound?” I said back smugly
“You wouldn’t?” he said wide eyed and pouting at me
“Through me in and I will.” I said
“You can barely resist me for a night sweetheart, never mind a week.” He said seeming very cocky
“You wanna test that theory?” I said
“No very much not.” He said hands in the hair
I think he seems to forget, yes I can’t resist him for long but when it comes to me he struggles to say no and refuse me. This works both ways
“That is what I thought.” I laughed reaching up to kiss him once more before pulling and began walking away from him
I hear him chuckle from behind me before he ran to catch up with me quickly, wrapping his arm around me again, hugging me close as we headed back to the house. The place was breath taking, I think if I ever got married this would be the place I would want to get married.
“Hey baby you OK? You went somewhere else?” Deacon said
“Yes I am fine, just taking everything in. Thank you for this, couldn’t ask for a more perfect weekend.” I said
“I am glad baby. I wanted this weekend to be perfect, you deserve the best.” He said
“I have told you before Deacon, all I need for things to be perfect is to share them with you.” I said
“I really do love you Hallie and I don’t ever wanna stop. I want us one day to get married, have kids…grow old together and I know that sounds soppy as heck but it is the truth and I need you to know that.” He said
“I want all that too Deacon…with you.” I replied
It was true, I couldn’t see myself with anyone that was not him, it wouldn’t feel right and I don’t think my heart would love the same as the way it loves Deacon. And tomorrow was gonna be amazing…one year together, but it feels so much longer, in a good way of course.
