Lena went to her apartment first. She dropped off her items before going up to Kris" place. When the elevator door opened, she realized that Kris was already home.
"Lena, is that you?" Kris shouted from the kitchen.
"Mhm..." Lena replied and walked to the kitchen.
As she entered the kitchen, she spotted Kris still in his work clothes but one of her ap.r.o.ns" around him.
"Hey..." He walked over and give her a quick peck on the cheek before going back to cooking. "I am almost done with dinner, you can go rest."
Kris stirred the pot and gave it a quick taste. Lena walked up behind him and gave him a hug.
"Wifey.... why are you so cute today?" Lena joked.
"Well, husband... you will please me in bed later, right?"
Lena let go of him and laughed as she walked away to sit on the dining table. "Are you doing to wear that ap.r.o.n to bed? I might consider it..."
Kris turned the heat down on the stove and looked at Lena. "What is your mind thinking about now?"
"Hmmm.... A s.e.xy naked man but an ap.r.o.n on my bed."
"Is that a visualization... or a request?" Kris asked.
"Can it be both? I am stingy when it comes to you."
"Husband... don"t tempt your wife... you might not be able to walk the next day."
"I don"t work anyways." Lena shrugged.
"Tsk..." Kris smiled and went back to focus on his food. He did not want his hard work to go to waste, thinking about Lena"s request.
Lena continued to sit at the table and stared at her man. He was learning new things just to please her... that"s when you know he is a keeper.
After a while, Kris was done the cooking and set the food on the table for both Lena and him. He took off his ap.r.o.n and sat on the table across from Lena.
Lena looked at the food and then at Kris.
"Don"t worry. I made sure it"s good."
"Yes, I am pretty sure you did. You tasted it like one million times."
"I did?" Kris laughed.
"If you had taken a few more bites, you would not need to eat dinner."
"Oh? Don"t you worry... I have a big appet.i.te. Can"t skip dinner or dessert."
Lena smiled at him and tasted his food. She nodded her head and continued to eat. After they were done with dinner, Kris and Lena both cleaned up together. Kris cleaned the table while Lena did the dishes.
"So... Your entire family would be at the party."
"Why? You nervous all of a sudden? They had always been there."
"I never paid much attention," Kris admitted.
Lena went back to was.h.i.+ng the rest of the dishes. Kris went next to her, and put an elbow on the counter.
"I was thinking... about getting a new place."
"You"re moving?"
"I was thinking about something better for us."
Lena washed the last dish and put it in the drying rack. "Are you asking me to move in with you, dear?"
"Not officially. I don"t think your family would like you living with me until I put a ring on you." Kris grabbed Lena"s hand with her small ring and kissed it.
"Oh dear... I know my grandpa would be hitting you with his cane... but grandma will not wait to lock you in a room with me." Lena teased in, putting her arm around his neck.
"I did yell at your old man saying that we"ll set our own wedding date."
"You did..." Lena pulled the man closer to her and kissed him on the lips.
"I don"t like camping you up here. If something were to happen to go wrong, there aren"t many ways for you to escape." Kris kissed Lena on the forehead. "Why don"t you go take a shower first?"
"You"re not going to have dessert?" Lena asked.
"Trust me... I would love dessert. But, we have to make sure you"re all good first." Kris slapped Lena b.u.t.t for her to go.
Lena head to shower first, and when she came back out, Kris was in his office talking on the phone. She did not want to interrupt him, so she went to lay down on the bed to do some light reading.
After a long time, Kris opened the bedroom door to see Lena still awake. He took a glance at her before quickly hoping to take a shower and coming back out.
"Is everything okay?" Lena asked.
"It was from Gary."
Lena put her book down and looked up at him. "I swear... if you were not Lens.e.xual, I would think my boyfriend is. .h.i.tting up one of my best friends. Gary has been talking to you more than me. I think Gary is more dangerous than Becca."
"Is that so?" Kris smiled and crawled to bed with Lena. He was no wearing a s.h.i.+rt. He gave Lena a kiss before turning off the lights.
"It"s his dad." Kris explained. He pulled Lena closer to him and pull the blanket over them.
"His dad is the reason why he"s hanging out more with you?"
"I promised him... that I won"t tell you about his dad." Kris clarified. "But I can tell you... that his dad is going to be no threat to you, or him."
"He has no one..." Lena solemnly spoke. "He has been running away from his family his whole life. He"ll tell me about his dad when he wants to. You just be a good bro for him, "kay?"
"Yeah..." Kris kissed Lena on the forehead one last time before they both fell asleep.
