Page 99 of A Second Chance At Forever

We wokethe next morning with the sun streaming in through the curtains causing the dust particles to shine like glitter floating through the air. I rolled over to find Mason lying in bed awake.

“Hey. Did you sleep?” I asked, wrapping myself around him.

“A little.” He pressed a soft kiss to the palm of my hand.

“We will get through this. Together.” I locked my eyes with his before moving in for a kiss. “How about that car shopping today?” I asked, trying to change the subject.

“It’s a date.”

We emerged from the steamy bathroom an hour later. Mason followed me out to dress for the day.

I stood in the bedroom pulling on clothes with his eyes on me the whole time.

“Are you serious? We just had sex in the shower,” I motioned to the massive erection he was sporting under his damp towel.

He grinned. “I can’t help it when I’m around you.”

I let out a small laugh. “You’re going to have to get used to it because I’m never leaving again and we won’t get anything done if we spend all day in bed.” I pulled up my jeans, leaving nothing for him to see.

“What if we spend it on the couch, or kitchen table, or the stairs again, that was fun.” He gave me a wink and his sexy grin.

“Shut up and get dressed. We have a date, remember?” I slid my flip-flops on and trained my eyes on his flexing muscles as he dressed.

I headed for the door. “Want some coffee?”

“Yes, thank you.” He pulled his black t-shirt over his head before sitting down to pull on his boots.

After Mason and I had our coffee, we made our way toward the dealership that was a few towns over. It was strange being able to do things just the two of us, but it was definitely something we needed.

Since we had gotten back together we hadn’t had much alone time.

We pulled into the parking lot and began to look over the vehicles. Mason being a Chevy guy found a brand new one that came with all the bells and whistles. We took it for a ride and that was all Mason needed. He picked the first truck he saw. I was a little more difficult. I couldn’t decide if I wanted to go with another small car or if I wanted something a little safer.

“You know, if you get a SUV you will be able to fit a car seat in it.”

“Who’s talking about car seats?” I asked with a shocked face. I would love to have Mason’s babies, but I thought we needed a little alone time for a while, have a honeymoon phase.

“Just saying, it would keep us from having to buy another one in a few years.” Mason shrugged.

I couldn’t do anything but smile knowing Mason was already planning our future together.

“Okay, let’s look at the Jeeps. I’ve always liked those.” I took his hand in mine and lead him over to the section I had already been considering.

We went for a test drive and soon ended up in the office signing the papers for our new cars.

Mason signed the papers for the Chevy truck while I signed the papers for the new Jeep Grand Cherokee. It was red with tinted windows, heated seats, and a navigation system. I was in love with the leather seats and sunroof, not to mention it had everything needed to equip a car seat.

“What do you say to heading over to the bar to celebrate?” Mason asked.

“Celebrate what?”

“We just made our first big purchases as a couple.”

The smile that seemed to be plastered to my face when I was with Mason, returned.

“Okay. Race ya there,” I jumped into my new Jeep.

I beat Mason by a second, but I didn’t want to whip him too badly. I didn’t want to hurt his Chevy pride when my Jeep kicked his ass.
