Chapter 589 - 6- Trinity – My Date With Reece Part 2 (VOLUME 4)

~~

Trinity

~~

The inside of the building was like a standard planetarium, for the most part. The only difference that I saw was that there was no large telescope for watching the night sky. That was fine, I guess, we could still see the stars, just not as close.

Reece led me straight to the middle of the room where there was a small, round table waiting for us. There were only two chairs at the table, and it only had two place settings. Candles were already lit and there was a bucket with chilled wine sitting nearby.

There was a rolling cart next to the table. There were several dishes that were tailored to Reece and me. All of our favorites were laid out with just enough for us to have a little bit of everything without wasting any of the food.

Reece led me to my chair and pulled it out for me to sit down. He then started to pour me a glass of wine before he filled a plate with food for me.

"Isn't this a date for your birthday? Shouldn't I be serving you." I raised a brow at him and asked that question as he sat the plate down in front of me and started to fill his own plate.

"Well, I asked you out, so no. Not to mention, you're my wife and my Queen, and my Goddess, I want to do all that I can for you."

"What did I ever do to deserve you?" I asked him as my heart melted from his loving words.

"You put up with me and all my stupid asshole-like behavior for all these years. I think that makes you worthy of anything." His adorable, boyish grin made my heart pound with desire for him. Even after all these years together I loved him and wanted him probably more than I even wanted and loved him in every year prior to this.

After Reece got our plates ready, he sat down opposite me, and we started to eat our meal. We talked about seemingly unimportant things and joked about stupid things. We laughed and talked so much that the food had long since gone cold. We didn't care though. It was an amazing meal even if it was cold.

"So, do you think that Aunt Glory will have another boy, or will Trevor be cursed with a daughter this time?" I asked Reece with a laugh in my voice.

"I hope he gets a daughter. They're great, don't get me wrong, but they pull on the heartstrings. I can't believe how much of a softy that I have become ever since Rika and Talia have been born." He was looking at me with a soft and sweet smile and a twinkle in his eyes. "Trevor has already calmed down since he got himself a mate and became a father, but can you imagine how much calmer he would be if he has a daughter?" This time Reece laughed when he spoke.

We moved on a little after that discussion, choosing a different topic to discuss.

"Have you chosen anything special that you want to do for Talia's birthday?" I asked Reece, knowing that he was always trying to make all the kids feel extra special on their birthday. He was such an amazing dad and the kids loved that about him.

"Oh, I have a few ideas. I am not going to tell you though. It's a surprise." He grinned at me as he obviously thought about the stuff that he was going to do.

"That is so not fair. You big butthead." I giggled at him and his total aloof expression.

"Hey, I need to have a few secrets, Little Bunny, a man has to have some mystery about him."

"There is absolutely no mystery about you, Reece. That is to be sure. I know you and that is why I love you."

"You love me because of my sexy dance moves." He joked with me and started to move around like an idiot in his chair. I was really glad that I knew he was doing it on purpose and that he really wasn't that much of a weirdo.

"Please no! Stop! My eyes! I think I'm going to go blind!" I pretended to cover my eyes and looked away from him like it was all too much for me to handle. I wasn't able to stop laughing while doing it though. "AH HA HA HA HA!"

"Oh hush you. You know you love it. I am the best dancer in the whole world."

"Yes, how did I ever forget that? You are an the number one, award winning master of the goofball dancers."

"And don't you ever forget it." He pointed a finger at me and put on a pretend serious expression.

We continued in that way for a long time. So many different silly conversations. So many goofy jokes. It was perfect and I wouldn't have had it any other way.

After we were done eating, Reece cleared away the table, cart, and any other trace of our meal. Once he was done with that, he carried over some very thick blankets and pillows. It was way too warm to cover up with those blankets, but he wasn't planning on us covering up. He wanted us to lay on them as we looked up at the stars that were now shining brightly about us.

I snuggled in against Reece's side and used his shoulder as a pillow instead of the soft, fluffy pillow he had brought me. There was no pillow in this world that would be better than his shoulder. That was the one that made me feel the safest and most secure.

"Little Bunny, are you doing alright?" He asked me while we laid there and watched the sky. I had thought that the sky would just be how it was outside. No, leave it to Aunt Glory or Athair mòr, who were the ones who no doubt built this place for Reece, they had made it possible to view the sky without needing a telescope. We only needed to think about moving the focus of the images above us and the view would change. It was amazing and I loved it.

"Yeah, I'm fine Reece." That was true, since I hadn't heard that voice recently so I wasn't lying.

"That's good. I've been worried about you, sweetheart. I don't want anything to happen to you." I heard the concern that was thickening his voice and it tugged at my heart strings. He must have been so worried about me lately. I mean, hearing that your wife had been hearing a mysterious voice that wasn't really there, that had to make him think that I was losing the last marble from my bag of sanity. He probably thought about having me committed, or at least making Griffin come to check up on me.

I hated that I was causing him this pain and worry. I only wanted him to be happy. I never wanted him or the kids to feel this conflicted and worried when it came to me. I wanted to be the one that was strong for them and made sure that they were always cared for. That was my job as a wife, mother, queen, and goddess. I needed to make sure that everything, and everyone, was taken care of and provided for. That was my job, my responsibility.

"Reece, listen to me, I am fine. I am sorry that I made you feel otherwise, but I am good. There is nothing to worry about." I leaned up on my elbow and looked into his eyes as I spoke. I also slid my hand up to cup his cheek so that I could feel his warmth against the palm of my hand. "I might get a little stressed, scared, or worried from time to time, but I promise you that I am fine. If things ever get to the point where they aren't, then I will tell you. I don't want you to worry, alright? Just let it go."

"If you're sure, Little Bunny, then I will forget about it. Just make sure that you don't push yourself too far. And I want you to remember that I love you, Reagan, Rika, and Talia love you. Mom loves you, Samuel, Wesley, Eve, Carter, Emmalee, Noah, Nikki, everyone loves you and we all want to make sure that you're happy and healthy. You've been working so much lately that we've all been worried about you."

"I'm sorry." I leaned in and kissed his lips softly. "I promise I will do better. I don't want to make you or anyone else worry about me at all. I want to make you all proud of me instead. I want to be the one to take care of everyone else. I was to be a true leader."

I could see the happiness returning to Reece's eyes, that and a little bit of heat.. That tiny little kiss was all it took to flip his switch.
