Laura would forever be grateful for Nate's strong arms. She'd given him such a bad time when they'd dated and even when they'd first been married. But his determination just to show her love was what she'd needed all along...and still needed.
Finally calm enough to get a handle on her emotions, she pulled back and wiped her eyes. She knew she must look a sight. "I'm sorry," she apologized quietly. "This whole thing was my idea and I haven't exactly started it off well." She grabbed a tissue to blow her nose. For now...she would be okay. She would probably need Nate later, but she could at least make it through the evening. "We should eat before the soup gets cold."
She stared at the black garlic bread and rolled her eyes. "Maybe just some crackers would be good." Sighing she glanced back at Nate one more time. "And I'll let you handle Garret tonight, ok?"
Reese grinned a little as he just let his emotions flow and accepted Angelica's in return. The Elite was a large portion of his life. But it couldn't be all of his life. He had too much else that brought him joy. Like moments like this.
Holding her tighter, he broke the kiss just to tilt his head the other way and return. "I was... supposed to....work late," he mumbled thought his kisses before he worked his way down her neck and back up. "You're not ...helping me ...any."
All of a sudden, his cell phone on his desk rang and vibrated, startling him so much that he jumped. "Oh for crying out..." He grabbed it to stop the ringing. "Yes?" He rolled his eyes. "Hi, Son." He ignored the phone and gave Angelica another kiss before retreating again. "What? Busy?" He smirked and ran his fingers through her hair, barely laying attention to Wyatt. "Hmm?" He sighed. "Okay. Yes. That's fine. See you shortly."
Ending the call, he leaned his forehead against Angelica's and gave her an apologetic look. "Wyatt's meeting us for pizza at Mom and Pop's. Says I need a break from work and insisted we both come to make sure we didn't work the whole evening."
