“What part?”
“The part where I try to show you that I like you.” She frowned.
“I think you are doing a very good job at that she said. I sighed and took her hand and lodhet over to the mound of bags.
“I wanted you to feel at home here and since I don’t own a blanket, I thought I would buy one for you. But then I didn’t know which one you would like. Do you know how many kinds of blankets
“So you bought them all?” she asked.
“Kind of,” I confessed.
“Hunter! I was inking. Are you telling me all of these are blankets?”
“Yes, would you like to have a look?” I asked.
“I would love to. Let me just get the chicken into buttermilk and I will be right over,” the bold me and hurried back to the kitchen. It didn’t take her long to return. “Lets go to the couch,” she said and started collecting bags. I helped her and together we walked over to the couch. She took the blankets out and I listened to her make happy noises she patted the blankets and commented on haw pretty they were. Har happiness brought me joy and I couldn’t take my eyes off her. “We will pick out two and send the rest back?” she asked,
“No,” I said and made a doctos in the mument. “You will keep them all.” She looked at me like I had gone mad.
Hunter, there are at least prenity blankets here. I don’t know what to do with so many blankets,” she objected.
“Twenty four, I counted as I packed them. We can add some to the couch, some into the office if you get cold when working. You will need some in your mom and then we have some spare ones. I like how your eves light up when you touch them.” I told her and got the pleasure of seeing her blush again.
“I will enjoy one or two just as much
“I refuse to return a single one.” I stood my ground and started to remove them from their packages. For a moment, Hana looked at me. Then she giggled and joined in. When we were done we were sitting in a soft pile of pick and lilac blankets and Hana wan radiating joy as the almost burrowed into them.
“Thank you so much,” she said, throwing herself into my arms and placing kisses all over my face. I laughed and held her close, making sure either of us tumbled off of the couch. If this was my reward for buying her blankets, I would fill my home with them.” need to get started on dinner. You can go and relax for a while and I will call you when it’s time to eat,” she offered.
“How about I help? I have no clue how to make fried chicken, or wattles. But if you make the batter for the waffles, I’m sure I can figure out how to man the machine that makes them,” I told her. I had been away from her all day and just wanted more time with ber
“Sure, I’ll teach you,” she said. She stood up and reached her hand toward me. I took it and for a monest I thought about putting her down to me again. But thought better of it and followed her into the kitchen. Cooking dinner together was surprisingly fun. After a couple of accidents with ineling the waifle iron, I got the hang of it. Hana didn’t mind me making a mess, she just laughed and handed me the paper towels. I got a little nervous when the bouted up the oil to try the chicken.
“I can do that,” I offered. Han took one look at the pile of paper towels drenched in waffle batter.
“I think it’s best if I do it. I’m used to handling hot oil,” she told me. I had no argument with that and bang back to watch as she worked. “Do I amell something burning?” she asked.
“Shit!” I had been so focused on watching her, I had completely forgotten my task. I opened the iron to see the waffle inside taking on a much darker brown than the rest. “Sorry,” I said sheepishly. I was expecting a light scolding, it had been my experience with other women when had ventured to try and help with cooking and faded.
“It’s okay. That’s how you learn. I’m not going to tell better. It’s only one waffle,” she told me, I walked over to her and kissed her. “You are going to make me burn the chicken,” she mumbled when I let her lips go, I had to chuckle and give her a
