[anouk lirienne fournier]

Waking up early was something she hated, especially when she was sleeping besides Alexei, but the morning before Christmas she left the bed early in order to get his present from the bank and have them ready this very morning. She had to run the day before for a couple of new presents for him, and now she knew it had been the right thing to do. Anouk was happier than ever this morning for the simplest reason, Alexei asked her to marry him and now they were engaged. Serious compromise, something she had always dread, ran away from it and now she was in for the long run with him, and she didn’t know it was going to make her this happy. Anouk looked at her finger, the shiny ring on it and then at her side, his face was so peaceful when he slept. That gave her some time to get ready and pick the presents for their hidden place to have them under the tree before he woke up. The night before their parents gave them their presents so they were alone now, their parents out for a Christmas breakfast in the city of love. Anouk smiled and kissed his lips softly, not wanting to wake him up and moved from the bed slowly. When she was finally free she ran to the bathroom and got ready then she went to her room to get the presents.

She couldn’t wait to see his face though nothing she could give him could compare to what he had given her the night before. Her ring shined in her finger and she couldn’t tear her eyes from it, she was happier than when they get together for the first time, or when they made love for the first time… this was the best one, the best of them all. She needed this to be perfect, as perfect as that moment had been. Anouk was well stocked; she didn’t know if he was going to like them, she had bought him the paints, and also Scarlett’s ideas, the art supply set and also the key and the chain. Now of course she needed to the breakfast, she wanted everything to be perfect. So after Anouk took care of that she decided to make some hot chocolate and some cookies, they weren’t very complicated to do and well, she might as well do something especial for him. She set the table and once she was done she went upstairs to wake him up. Sitting on the edge of the bed she bend to kiss him, she touched his face and whispered softly. “Love, wake up, I have something for you.” She brushed his lips softly with hers, her hands running down his arms and then taking his hand. After she was sure he was going to at least open his eyes she walked down the stairs and waited for him to give him her presents.

Nothing could ever beat last night that was what he had thought of before falling asleep well past midnight. He had finally proposed, thanks to Audrey giving him courage, he had proposed and Anouk was happy and he was happy too. She had fallen asleep before him which gave him a good look to the ring that was placed delicately on her left finger, he had held her hand while he had gone to sleep himself, loving the feel of the finger on her hand; it just felt so right. He was still surprise she had said yes, even though they had agreed that marriage was going to be on the cards he still thought that she would run away from the idea because she had never thought of commitment before he came along, she had been those one night stand girls and what not though he was glad she had said yes, if she hadn’t then he would have been upset, he would have just broken down a little because he was sure this was what the both of them wanted. He was in such a deep, happy slumber that he hadn’t even felt her getting off of the bed, though he knew there was something in his weird hazy mind when she untangled herself from his body, it was as if his body knew when Anouk was there and when she wasn’t, so once his body was free of hers, his face formed into a small frown, his mind completely blank. There were no dreams that night, just a hazy mind full of happiness.

His presents were already under the tree; he made sure that the entire adult ones that Scarlett went online and bought with his own credit card were in his cupboard, they were only going to be let out in the night when he could use them on her. The other presents thought, the diamond bracelet, the red dress which she had already seen because he had used it as a ‘sorry’ present and the necklace set he had bought her were all wrapped around. His sorry present had been the engagement ring and he had quickly gone out and bought her another dress just a few days ago to make sure that there was more than what she had expected. His haziness was slowly clearing up and his lips pouted a little upwards as if he was receiving a kiss from Anouk, which he realised was actually happening when she whispered into his ear. Smiling, he opened his eyes slowly, to notice her dress going out of the room. Sighing, he smiled once more; his body knew he was happy. Quickly going into the bathroom, he washed his face and made sure he was at least half decent, he went down the stairs in his boxers, he didn’t care that it was so cold, he just liked being half naked in front of her because it was amusing to see her reactions. Walking up behind her, he wrapped his arms around her and then looked at the breakfast on the table. “Mmm, you’re all dressed up, I like it.” A hand ran up her arm slowly as he gently swayed with her in the kitchen.

[anouk lirienne fournier]

They talked about getting married, though Anouk avoided the topic skillfully. She knew Alexei liked things the traditional way; he wanted to move in together, get married, have kids… She was only nineteen years old, left the party scene and her life a single women not long ago and she was far from ready to get married. But when Alexei asked her to marry him, when he dropped to his knee and showed her the ring she was wearing right now… well she knew it was the right thing to do, what she really wanted to do and there was no one else in the world she would have say yes to but him. Now he was peacefully sleeping besides her, his face relaxed and happy. She hated leaving the bed, his side, but it was needed to and for a good cause. She couldn’t wrap the paints that would have been a crime but the other, the art set supply and the key where nicely wrapped and ready under the tree where she placed them down carefully near the paints. Her mother had been amazed when Anouk told him what was she getting him, but she just shrugged her shoulders, explaining her she was just really happy to have him as a brother and that this was her way to thank him.

It would have been stupid from her part to tell her all the hidden meanings they held; it was none of her business… yet. Once everything was ready and set, the cookies done and on the table with his beloved coffee and some orange juice, the presents under the tree, she ran upstairs to wake him up. His face had a little frown, as if he had noticed the empty space on the bed just like she did when he wasn’t there. She loved the way he reacted whenever she kissed him, and snickered a bit. She didn’t hear his foot steps down the stairs but she wasn’t surprised when he wrapped his arms around her. Anouk smiled and closed her eyes; enjoy the warmth of his body, when she turned though she raised an eyebrow seeing him half naked. “Yes, and you are naked.” She said laughing. “Do you want to tempt me before we even had breakfast?” She tiptoed a bit to kiss his lips and circled his neck with her arms, walking backwards toward the kitchen with him. “I baked some cookies, I thought you will like it, and your presents are under the tree.” Alexei had been bugging her all the time to see his paints but she had refused to give them to him before it was time. Now she was sure he was going to run to see them.

“First is breakfast okay?” Kissing him again she guided him to the table she had so nicely set hoping he would like her baking. She never did that only with his father and the other day with Tommy but it just felt like the right thing to do, to bake for him in such an especial day. After all the one she loved was him. Anouk pointed to his chair and served him some orange juice and the coffee. “I wanted to take it to your bed but it was too much and I thought you will appreciate this more.” She said taking the opposite chair and pointing to the cookies for him to take.

The presents he bought for Anouk were of course seen by his parents, though they didn’t see the hidden meanings behind it, they just thought it was natural for a brother to shower his sister with lots of gifts of jewelry and clothes and that was good, they didn’t think the jewelry he bought her were real, they thought that it was fake diamonds, though it wasn’t but he wasn’t going to correct them because apart from on his sister’s wedding day, why should he buy her real diamonds for? And he did tell his parents that Scarlett helped him with his picking out of Anouk’s gift, which ensured that they knew how much he didn’t know about his own sister so they didn’t mind at all, they saw nothing wrong with it. He always seemed to react differently when Anouk kissed him, it was as if his body was telling him that she was there and what not; which he loved because he felt as if he reached home when he was with her. Smiling as she leaned against his body, he let out a little chuckle. “It’s not my fault you get weak whenever you see me half naked!” winking at her, he circled his arms around her waist as she circled his neck and kissed her perfectly, well as perfect as a kiss could actually go. Raising an eyebrow, his smile brightened up as he heard his presents were under the tree, he jumped a little at the idea of cookies and presents. “I can’t wait to see them!”

He pouted a little as she told him breakfast should be first though, he was far too eager to see his originals, they were the presents he was waiting for the most because it meant a lot to him that she would fork out so much of her money to get him something as amazing as that. He let himself be guided by her to the table and sat on the chair she indicated towards, sitting down, he grabbed a cookie and shoved it whole into his mouth. Talking with his mouth full he laughed. “It’s yummy!” With that being said, he grabbed another few into one hand and got up, grabbing Anouk’s hand and forcing her up so he could run with her to the living room. Halfway there, he realized he had forgotten his beloved cookie and let go of her arm, with his mouth still half full he spoke. “You get everything ready in the living room OK? Let me go get my coffee!” Smiling at her, he ran towards the kitchen and looked around until his eyes settled on the coffee cup on the table, grabbing a few more cookies and his cup he ran back towards the living room and slowly skidded in, coming to a stop next to Anouk. “Where are my presents?!” Smiling, he took a sip of his coffee, rubbing a hand through his hair as if to get rid of the morning migraine he always seemed to have.

[anouk lirienne fournier]

She always thought her parents were blind, absolutely blind because they couldn’t see the way they loved each other. Anouk tried hard to hide it but it was almost impossible to do so when he was in the same room she was, she always wanted to be whenever he could touch her, whenever she could feel his presence, know he was there and that he wasn’t going to leave. Anouk’s biggest fear was that, him leaving her, waking up to find he changed his mind and he was going to leave. Sometimes it was she the one who thought of leaving, especially lately when her father called her to tell her all about his honeymoon and his new job in the Solomon Islands. And this time she wasn’t planning on taking him with her, but she hadn’t decided she will leave and now it was completely out of the question. “Oh yes, it is totally your fault.” She said checking him out and shaking her head. But Anouk didn’t really mind because it was perfect, it felt wonderful, amazing; especially now that they were engaged… it was such a big word, so frightening, but not anymore.

The ring she was wearing now in her finger was the symbol of their love, of how much they meant to one another. Just as she expected he would do Alexei got excited when he heard about his presents, she had to laugh and shook her head; she knew she had picked his presents right after seeing the way he smiled and the way his eyes sparkled. She laughed again resting her face on her hand watching him eat, she really wasn’t feeling like eating much, butterflies already flying in her stomach and filling it. He could be such a kid sometimes and he loved that childish side of him, it was the best part of him because he was truly happy, truly free and himself when he was like that. “I’m glad you like them so much but don’t eat so fast! And don’t speak with your mouth full you kid!” Anouk shook her head and followed him to the living room when he tagged her along but he forgot his coffee and had to go back, she walked to the living room and sat comfortably on the floor near the presents. “Come here.” She said patting the site besides her.

The originals were resting against the wall behind her, not wrapped because well, they shouldn’t be. She wanted to give him first the other two presents and then he could happily go take a look at his originals all he wanted to. Anouk knew he would spend a great deal of time paying them attention and she wasn’t sure she wanted his complete attention absorbed by them but well, it was Christmas and he had gotten her an engagement ring, he could spend hours looking at them if he damn wanted to if that made him feel as happy as she was feeling right now. She picked the first present from under the tree and gave it to him, the art supply set nicely and tightly wrapped to prevent him or their parents for pecking the present before it was time. “First this one, then this other one and then you can go enjoy your originals all you want, especially the Monet.” She knew he was dying to get a hold of that one, and she knew his reaction would be priceless.

[alexei leon fournier]

There was no way their parents could be blind anymore, how much blinder could they get? Were they so into each other that they couldn’t see how Anouk and Alex acted around each other? It was weird but Alex still didn’t care at the moment, if their parents noticed and knew then it was fine right? He wouldn’t have to be worried about their relationship anymore; it was going to be fine. He was sure of it because the both of them loved each other and they didn’t have to worry about much anymore. He liked that idea, to be free of everything and what not. He knew there was going to be something wrong though, he could just feel it, and he just had no idea what. Even though Anouk was acting suspiciously, he thought it was because of the Christmas presents, but he already knew about those originals, so what else was she worrying about? He didn’t know and he didn’t want to pressure her into telling him in case something happened like last time, he didn’t think he could go through something like that for the second time. “Well, I’m sorry then.” Winking at her, he let out another chuckle.

See? This was what he wanted, no worries, no surprises, and just good, strong love. Still in his happy childish state, he hoped he wouldn’t forget about her presents because he was going to be far too interested in his own, he wanted her to be happy with her ones, hopefully she would be, Alex was never good at picking out presents for people, it was just annoying whenever he had to do something like that, but for her it was all worth it. Hopefully the second dress he had picked out without Scarlett’s help would make her happy; it was his own choice. “But I need to see the presents and I know you won’t let me go if I don’t eat!” laughing as he grabbed his coffee he nodded at her as she patted the space beside him for him to sit there. Sitting there, he sat on his knees and placed the cookies in Anouk’s hand, urging her to eat as well.

Smiling as she passed him a box that was wrapped, he raised an eyebrow, now what was this? Why had she gotten him more presents? Why didn’t she just leave it? The originals were enough for him but it seemed as if she wanted him to spoil him for so long. “Thank you, I can’t believe you got me even more presents, the originals would have been enough darling, especially the Monet.” Smiling he began slowly unwrapping the paper, making sure that it was preserved carefully. Finally unwrapping the last layer, he gasped. “No way, you didn’t get me this!” He shook his head and hugged it to his body hard, leaning forward, the art set sliding off his lap onto the layers of wrapping paper, he kissed her hard, both hands on her cheeks pushing them together. “I love you, I love you, and I love you.” Pecking her cheek once more, he stared wide-eyed at his gift.

[anouk lirienne fournier]

The fact that their parents were so blind to what was happening gave them the chance to be closer than expected when their parents were around. Of course never crossing the line so much they would realize but Anouk could keep close to him, touch his hand, and stare at him lovely. Her mother was very busy always throwing glances to her step dad than she never got to see what was going in front of her nose. Them moving in together didn’t make their parents suspect either, they just guessed they were giving them space to enjoy their marriage when it was the other way around, they were the ones looking for space to carry their relationship without interruptions. Now that they were engaged, now that Anouk was wearing that ring on her finger they couldn’t hide it anymore; they will have to tell their parents and see what happened next. “I won’t mind so much if we were on our own house. There you can even walk naked if you want because I can jump on you whenever I want to.”

At home they had to be careful; they never knew when their parents could walk in right on them, there was no way she could explain to her parents why she was eating him up in the living room, the hallway or the kitchen. Of course at some point they will have to tell them everything but that wasn’t the best way for them to discover, at all. Kissing him though made her forget all her worries, being like this with him was heaven, and Anouk hoped it lasted, she really did. She laughed at him, her head resting on her hand watching him rush to get his presents. It was like watching a kid, and for a moment she had a vision of herself watching her own kid in a future acting just like that, that almost made her cry. “You have no manners at all!” Anouk said shaking her head, she scooted a bit closer when he sat down on the floor with her, raising an eyebrow at the cookies on her hand. “I’m not really hungry love, you can have them all.” She said passing him the present and ignoring the cookies.

She was eager to see his reaction. “I wanted to spoil you, and to say I was sorry for everything… the fights, the hard moments…” She trailed off letting him take a look at his present. And she wasn’t disappointed at all with his reaction; Anouk smiled at him and laughed, then kissed him back still laughing a bit. “Come on, come on it’s not such a big deal.” She reached with her hand the other present, the chain and the key and gave the wrapped box to him. “This is the last one before the originals I promise.” She knew he was going to forget about the world once he got a hold of his three originals, and she didn’t mind at all, her best present was on her finger and sitting beside her, her best present was him and it was always going to him. His reactions were also a great present and the whole point of it all. “I’m not very sure you will like that one but it has some meaning you will understand.” She hadn’t been sure about it because it was far too girly for a boy but being the romantic guy he was maybe Scarlett was right and he would love that.

NOTES, aww such an adorable reaction!

[alexei leon fournier]

Everything seemed perfect for some reason, far too perfect, he was sure that there would be something coming around the corner just to mess it all up but he wasn’t sure what. So right then he would have to sit idle with Anouk, have fun and be happy until the misery decided to come out of nowhere and put the both of them into another fight again. He didn’t know why but their relationship always had to have some sort of argument in it, otherwise there definitely was something wrong, even if it was just over who wanted to eat the last slice of pie or something like that. Laughing at her words, he nodded his head, running a hand down his stomach and then patting it. “Well then, I promise that once we’re in our own house I will walk around naked every morning before you go off to the academy so you can get your daily dose of me!” Winking at her, he let out another laugh. He was actually being pretty serious.

He didn’t need to be much careful at home, Alex always walked around half naked, even in front of his own step mom, though when she was around he would at least wear sweat pants instead of boxers, but he was still naked on his top half, it was just amusing how a little sight of Alex’s body would make Anouk want him so bad, he found it funny especially whenever he was like that in front of their parents. A surprised expression ran through Alex’s face as he let out a gasp, a hand to his chest as if he had been hurt by her words. “Excuse me, but I do have manners! I was taught grace and wisdom from a very young age dear!” Shaking his head at her, he took his cookies back, shoving another one into his mouth quickly and downing it just as fast, just about almost choking on the little pieces. “Why aren’t you hungry? It’s Christmas day, everyone’s hungry on Christmas day!” He shook his head at his girlfriend, patting her stomach, “You look so frail as well! Eat up!”

He rolled his eyes at her explanation, cutting her off by giving her a kiss. “Shut up, I think my proposal to you already showed that I’ve forgiven you, though you don’t need forgiveness because you’re never in the wrong.” Smiling, he shook his head at her. “Not a big deal? This costs so much and you tell me it’s not a big deal?”Shaking his head once more, he put the case to the side, sticking in another cookie in his mouth and leaving half of it out as he took the next present from Anouk’s hand, it was smaller but still a bit heavy nonetheless. Shaking it next to his ear with a confused look as she told him he might not like it, he shrugged his shoulders at her. “I’m sure I’ll love it.” Smiling, he took the whole cookie into his mouth and chewed carefully while unwrapping his second gift. It was…jewelry, was that a heart? Or a key? Smiling at Anouk, he nodded his head. “So which side is for you and which side is for me?”

[anouk lirienne fournier]

This was what she wanted, perfection and happiness without having to worry for a day about the dark clouds hovering over their heads. Whatever was going to happen in the future it was still future and she didn’t want to sulk before it was time because that would be stupid, Anouk had to enjoy what she had now if she didn’t want to regret things later. She ran a hand along his chest and licked her lips. “Then I won’t be able to get to the academy, though it would be for a good cause, I won’t mind.” It was hard to keep her hands off him when he walked around the house half naked especially in front of their parents. Her body simply reacted whenever he was naked in sight, his body reacted whenever he was in sight truth be told but more when he was half naked and he did only to annoy her, knowing it took all she had to not jump on him and send to hell their covers. He loved every expression of his face, and she threw her head back, laughing like crazy really amused by his fake hurt. “You don’t, but I don’t care.” She bended to kiss him and caressed his cheek.

She shook her head no to the cookies, he had always been worried about how thin she was and how much thinner she had got since the depression and everything. Well Anouk had been consumed by the abuse of alcohol and drugs and withdrawal and her stomach hadn’t settle down nicely after that, some days she will be hungry and some days she just couldn’t get food into her body. She hoped things will get balanced in a near future because it was starting to worry her. But she forced herself to smile and erase all the worry from her face now that she was with him; that thought was food to mull over later not now. “I’m stronger than I look!” She said taking his hand for a second before letting go. When he kissed her though the world around her vanished once again and she got even closer to him if that was possible. Anouk locked eyes with him and caressed his face. “I am in the wrong too Alexei, and I need to say I’m sorry. So no, it’s no big deal at all. Nothing is ever enough for you. And I didn’t tell you what it cost anyway!” She laughed at him when he stuffed another cookie on his mouth, he could be such a kid!

But at the mention of the other present she bit her lip, the second present had really been Scarlett idea and she hadn’t been sure about it, at all. In lack of a better one though she decided to finally get it and see how he would react. “Well I didn’t know which one would you like so… you pick which one you want to keep.” She said shrugging her shoulder and smiling back. She glanced behind her where the paints were safely hidden from his view, getting up she picked them one by one and placed them in front of him, against the wall. “I guess these were the ones you’ve been waiting for all along. Merry Christmas, love.” She said, getting aside so he could take a look at them all he wanted and go crazy about them. That was her best reward, Alexei’s face.

[alexei leon fournier]

Their future was going to be great. Great, creative and just long lasting full of love and what not, that was what he dreamed of. Waking up with Anouk by his side and their two or three children jumping up and down on their bed ready for their Christmas presents. That was what he wanted, he was sure their children would look like them anyway, Anouk and Alex were both pale and had jutted out cheekbones, Anouk had a fair more freckles then he did but they were cute spread out across her face. They were both quite skinny, Anouk a bit more frail then him but they did look like each other and it was weird because they weren’t even blood related, it was only through marriage they were. But he loved her with all his might, she was perfect for him, someone who he could tell everything to and do everything with. “I wouldn’t mind if you didn’t go either, we’d probably have a lot of fun just staying at home with me naked.” Laughing, he winked at her again, imagining her naked, which was weird because that was all he had been doing pretty much for the last few days and it was messing up his day to day activities. He laughed at her, rolling his eyes and then just going back to his normal happy state, he was so happy today.

He pouted as she said no to the cookies but didn’t force her into taking any just in case anything wrong happened, he didn’t want her to get upset or annoyed with him because of his child like behaviors. He nodded though at her once she smiled at him to show him that everything was fine, he was getting used to her expressions now, this was one slightly forced there for him because she wanted him to be happy and he loved that about her, the fact that she never wanted to hurt him. “Mmm, I know you are dear.” Making a kissy face at her, he let out a small laugh while Anouk caressed his face, he loved her fingers, so thin, dainty and they felt so soft and smooth against his skin. If Alex could say every detail and bit he loved about Anouk, everyone would be stuck in traffic for days. “Anouk, shh.” He locked eyes with her and shook his head at her, urging her to shut up because she was never in the wrong. How could she even think like that? Sighing, he slowly smiled though, taking a cookie and shoving half of it into her mouth when he had the other one.

Looking at the heart and then at the key, he smiled. “I want the heart!” Laughing, he opened the small necklace and wrapped it around his neck. Picking up the key, he moved Anouk’s hair to one side, gently clasping the small necklace around her own neck. “Oooh pretty!” Smiling, he clenched his fists in excitement, his mouth widening as soon as the originals came into view. And then suddenly, even though he didn’t know he was capable of it, Alex let out a scream. “AAAAAAAAAAA OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! IT’S GORGEOUS! I LOVE YOU, OH DAMN I LOVE YOU!” He wasn’t even saying this to Anouk, his eyes were set perfectly on his originals, he ran towards them, hugging them and then falling down back onto the sofa because of the weight. He kissed the first painting and set it to the side, then looked at the second one before kissing it once more and then he did the same to the third. Then he finally looked at Anouk. “I love you so much.” Picking his hands up, he indicated for her to come to him because he was eager to kiss her.

[anouk lirienne fournier]

Anouk never gave much importance to her future, in fact she barely thought about it until she got together with Alexei. She could care less about a future if it wasn’t with him, but now she didn’t have to think about that because she had a future, and it was besides him forever. They will get married, have kids and have a peaceful happy life together with a noisy family, kids running around and playing with their toys and throwing themselves on the bed over them in Saturday mornings. “Well, if that fun includes me naked as well… then of course!” How much she loved him, how much she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him… Anouk hope she wouldn’t hurt him anymore, than she wouldn’t have to deal with the hurt and pain once again because the last thing in earth she wanted was hurting him. She laughed as he pouted, shaking her head. Alexei tried as hard as she did and he was always being careful around her to not get her upset, she wanted to tell him there was no need to worry because she would never be really mad at him.

“I love you, so much.” She said looking at him, kissing him. Then he shoved a cookie into her mouth and she yelped. “Hey! I wasn’t hungry!” But she chewed on the cookie and ate it to make him happy, forcing a bit of a smile. It wasn’t bad, she had baked them and they were delicious but it felt dry on her mouth and she didn’t really want to eat. She laughed when he picked the heart, placing it on his neck and then doing the same with the key on her own neck. But the expression he made when he saw his paints, when he saw the originals that was the best present for her. She didn’t mind he was ignoring her at all because that was what she wanted for him, to be completely and absolutely happy. “I love you too, I’m glad you like them so much.” she laughed while he kissed the paints and finally turned to pay attention to her. Anouk walked toward him on the sofa and kissed him, hugging him wrapping her arms around him tightly.

She caressed his face. “Well, how was the surprise huh? I ruined it by telling you before what it was but… I’m really glad you like it.” She snuggled into him, kissing his face, his lips, his cheek, his nose… she tangled herself with him in the sofa, her presents could wait, right now all she wanted to do was sitting beside him and kissing the sense out of him wrapping her arms around his neck playing with his hair. “We can hang on them on the walls of our new house.” She looked at her ring, placed in her finger; now that their parents weren’t home she didn’t have to change the place of the ring.

[alexei leon fournier]

Now that they were together, was there a future without her in it? No he didn’t think there would be, there was no way that he would be able to handle her leaving him anymore. Sure he had thought of leaving her many a times before because he was sure, positively and absolutely sure that she deserved someone better but she wanted him right? She wanted him and he waned her and if they loved each other this much then the both of them did deserve each other. Hopefully Anouk wouldn’t see this any other way and they would be together forever, the both of them would never be able to handle a separation again. “That fun always includes you naked Anouk, always.” Laughing at the idea of the both of them naked always in their little apartment, he shook his head at the idea. It was funny but he was sure that it wouldn’t happen all the time between the both of them.

As soon as he shoved the cookie into her mouth, he pouted his mouth at her and laughed. “I love you too sweetheart.” He smiled a little as she forced her mouth to chew on the cookie that he had shoved in her mouth, hopefully she wouldn’t be too upset about the fact, he just wanted her to eat because she was become frighteningly thin in the last few days that he felt a simple touch from him would break her and he didn’t want that at all. He didn’t know why he chose the heart, maybe because it was a symbol of Anouk’s heart for him and he wanted to keep it for himself forever, never giving it to anyone else or ever letting anyone set their sight on it for even a mere millisecond. Her heart was his as well as his own heart being hers. The paintings…well weren’t they something? He couldn’t believe that she would even try to give him something like this, not that he was complaining because this was just amazing. This was the most beautiful thing he had ever gotten; she had surprised him to the ends of the Earth, no doubt about that.

Kissing her, he held her, keeping her close to him, just wanting to bask in the happiness that she had given him. Looking up at her as she caressed his face, he chuckle. “You didn’t ruin it, you just enhanced my excitement.” Smiling, he held her close, snuggling up to her and then continued kissing her as they both began to tangle with one another on the sofa. Holding her he nodded his head in agreement. “Of course, they’ll be the centrepieces!” Smiling, he pulled her towards him, kissing her hard, his hands caressing her face, her cheeks, her hair, and her hips before he pulled back for a second. “I got you presents, there’s a…weird one though, one which Scarlett sort of bought with my credit card without me knowing…it was shipped to the gallery the other day and I feel embarrassed to give it to you. But you know my presents anyway. I have them wrapped under the tree…” Kissing her once he whispered: “Your turn,” with a small smile.

All along the start their relationship Anouk had been the one without doubts and Alexei being the one doubting. At some point that changed and she started to have doubts, to believe she wasn’t good enough, to believe he deserved better. She looked back and thought she had been selfish all the time and that confidence she had back then was because she had gotten what she wished. But despise all that Anouk was pretty sure she couldn’t live without him now and just at this moment she wouldn’t dare even try leaving him. No matter how many doubts she had she just knew it would be the wrong thing to do because hadn’t Alexei showed her enough his love for her? Wouldn’t leaving kill him like it would kill her? It was just wrong making him go through something like that after all she had put him through already. He was always so worried about her, about how thin she was, about how she had so many doubts, about the boys she hanged with… all he did was for her own good or so he believed. Maybe that was the reason she did things to make him happy, because he cared so much for her that it felt only fair to do so. And because she loved him, his happiness was her own.

When he picked the heart Anouk smiled, he certainly had stolen her heart from the first time she had seen him, it was the proper thing for him to have. It had been his from the start and she never gave it to anyone, her body sure she shared it but her heart? Her heart had always belonged to him. Of course those small presents were nothing compared to the paintings and she knew it, that he would go totally crazy for them and she was so glad she had thought of it. At first Anouk had been scared thinking of presents, she didn’t know him as well as she had thought, she went crazy thinking what to get him and the it came down to her, what in the world would he like more than art? “If you say so, love.” Right now she was just busy snuggling against him, she never knew much happiness than being in his arms like this and she was sure nothing else would compare. She lost herself in his kisses, whenever their lips touched she felt she wanted to keep kissing him forever and ever, never letting him go at all.

She hummed as he talked about her presents and raised an eyebrow when he said something about a weird present. Getting up from the sofa, untangling herself off him and tagging him toward the tree, she looked at the wrapped presents. “Okay, weird one first, I so want to know what is it.” she turned to him, wrapping her arms around his waist and getting close to him, her face inches away from his. “You didn’t need to get me more presents, you are the best present, the reason of my life, the reason I breath and do everything in this world, the reason I wake up every morning with a smile on my face knowing it’s always going to be a good day just because you are besides me.” She moving the hand of the ring from his waist and showed it to him. “And this ring, this promise of love, this proof of your affection… it’s the best present you could ever get me.”

[alexei leon fournier]

It was just weird how their relationship had evolved; their relationship was so strong now it was as if everything was so much greater. There was no one who could force them to separate anymore, they would just have each other now and that was the way he was hoping it would stay because no way would he want to stay away from Anouk anymore, she was his lover, she was his world, she meant everything to him. He loved her, he thought she was amazing, how couldn’t he have fallen in love with someone so sweet and selfless as her? Yes he was mushy, he was becoming one of those romantic boys that would do anything for their lover and that was just how he was, he was being a sweetheart just for her. He wanted her to be happy with him, he didn’t want those tears rolling down her face anymore or her hurting herself anymore just for him. She had given up the drugs, the alcohol and the sex and he had hurt her so much by saying a lot of things, he had made her rethink about committing suicide one more time and he had hurt her just enough and now that was all over because he was in love with her. He was truly committed to her now; all he wanted to see when he woke up was her face, when he went to sleep; her face and her always smiling. That was it. Who wouldn’t want their partner to be like that?

Anouk may not have stolen his heart from the first time she had met him, but she had definitely come into his heart and stole it when he wasn’t looking for love even, she just made everything all the more better. He never had known what true love was before she came into her life, sure he had one serious girlfriend but he had never felt more in love with her than he was with Anouk. He knew he didn’t know Anouk that well, when they had met for the first time he didn’t even think that he even wanted to meet her because he just wanted her out of his life. Bur not he didn’t think like that at all, he just thought of her as his lover, the woman that was always going to be in his life no matter what, until he died at least. He chuckled at what she said and snuggled into her, loving the feeling that she face him.

Blushes crept up his cheeks, turning them from pal to a deep scarlet, which meant that Scar had definitely done the trick. She had taken his credit card and got Anouk’s sex present ordered to his gallery. It was embarrassing for him to even look at it so he had wrapped it and then left t underneath his bed so that he wouldn’t have to see it until he had to give it to her. He hated the ideas that something like that could make him feel so embarrassed. He pouted a little when she said she wanted her weird present first, which meant the sex toy. But his eyes focused in on hers as she began speaking to him and he smiled as she spoke because it was sweet. “You know that you mean the world to me and I’m glad that you think your engagement ring is the best thing I could have given you. I love you a lot, never forget that OK?” Smiling, he gave her waist a small squeeze and kissed her, his eyes shining a little. “By the way, your present is a vibrator…” His ears turned red as he shifted his gaze from her.

Their relationship had changed so much since they started, they had hurt each other a lot but she was trying her best. Anouk believed in them, deep inside and despise how much they hurt each other she knew they were going to have their happy ending at some point. This was just difficult now but later once they have everything better set then it would be great, perfect, she was sure of that. They have this kind of moments when they were together and alone, spending time with each other, loving each other and there weren’t fights that made her believe again in them and her resolution of leaving was reduced to nothing. Whenever she woke up beside him, tangled with him… she felt like the luckiest girl in the world. Their relationship might be hardest than some, they could have problems difficult to solve and it hadn’t been even love from the start but something was sure, she loved him and now he loved her too, she had came into his life, flipped it over and transforming it completely. And he had done the same, little by little during those three years and during the time they had been together he had changed her inside out. “I love you too, never ever forget that.” She kissed him softly, her lips just brushing his.

She was shocked when she hear her present. Anouk laughed so hard she had to get away from Alexei’s grasp and hold her stomach. “For real? Why do I need something like that? I have you already!” Tears rolled down her cheek, laughing. She was so going to text Scarlett to tell she was in no need of a vibrator. “And she ordered this with your credit card? What is she doing with your credit card number anyway?” Anouk cleaned the tears from her eyes, still giggling from time to time going to kiss Alexei to make his blush go down. He was so cute when he blushed; she was more used to these kind of things and used a lot of them with her old boy toys. She never thought Alexei would be… like he was when in bed, it had been a great surprise to discover he could please her in such a way that no other men could before. Him postponing sex in such a way made her thought he was inexperience in that department and well, compared to her other mates… he had been a bit inexperienced but Anouk didn’t even noticed because he just knew what to do with her.

Maybe it was love or it was something else but they were connected in such a way they both knew what the other wanted, how they wanted it and how they liked it about everything, from food to clothes to sex. She had been observing Alexei for the past years learning everything she could about him because she just liked to know things about him, and Alexei was quick learning and soon enough he knew a lot about her. “Okay, I want to see it. Give it to me, come on.” She said extending her hand for him to give her the present, knowing he was going to be absolutely embarrassed the same second she would open it and make it work and Anouk knew she wasn’t going to regret a second of it. “Then you can give me the rest of them but first we are going to have some fun!” She winked at him and clapped her hands excitedly.
