Chasing Kate

Chapter 39. Shut your Mouth.

I felt eyes on me before mine opened and I immediately knew who they belonged to.

I smiled and caught her blue eyes as I finally opened mine.

"Good Morning, love. " She smiled at me.

"Good Morning." I said as I pulled her on top of me.

"Hungry?" She asked.

"Mmmhmm." I mumbled. "Very."

"Want me to make some breakfast?" She asked.

I kissed her lips and nodded.

"What do you prefer?" She asked.

"Pancakes." I replied.

"I'll make you pancakes." She said back to me and kissed my lips hastily before getting up off the bed.

Watching her small legs walk her to her side of the room and pull on shorts over her underwear, messed with my head.

I already wanted to take her back to bed and spend the day with her, tucked in the sheets.

That wasn't realistic of course, but still.

I sunk back into my mattress and pillow with a grin on my face. This girl drives me wild.

I inhaled the scent of pancakes and bacon and made my way to the kitchen.
I woke Rhett and we ate as a family.

A family, My family.

**********************************

Dr Schwartz has been on vacation for the past 2 weeks in Cabo. So I haven't had any sessions with him.

I felt like I could write a book with everything that I was ready to talk to him about, I guess for reassurance that I was still moving along.

Friday evening when I picked Rhett up after work, my mother had suggested that she watch Rhett tomorrow so Kate and I could "date" each other.

"Mom, really you don't have too. " I said.

"I know I don't HAVE to, Lucas. I want too. Rhett loves staying with his Lollie, don't you baby?" She said, patting the toddler I was holding on the back.

"Stay with Lollie, Daddy." Rhett said.

"I'll talk to Kate, ok ma?" I replied. I was defeated.

"I'll be waiting for you to call me tomorrow morning." She said as I walked out the door.

Lying in bed that night, I brought up my mothers idea.

"Hey, Katie" I said as she was standing in the bathroom mirror wiping off her makeup.

"Yeah?" She said looking at me through the mirror.

"Mom wants to watch Rhett tomorrow, so we can 'date' ." I said with air quotations.

"Date? I thought we ARE dating?" She giggled.

"But that's fine with me, if you don't mind either." She said turning off the light and climbing on the bed.

"Well, what do you want to do on this date?" I asked her.

She grinned at me and said "How about we get a tattoo?"

I laughed. "Y-you? You get a tattoo?" I coughed.

"Why not!? " I asked annoyed.

"If a tattoo is what you want, then sure. I'll take you." I said to her.

We dropped Rhett off and I drove Kate to my tattoo artist. He was the best in the state and he was definitely worth the 2 hour drive.

Jaysin scheduled us in and I was a little apprehensive that Kate would back out.

She couldn't make up her mind what she wanted and I told her that wasn't the best basis to build a tattoo from, you know since it's permanent.

She insisted that I "shut my mouth" and I did as I was told.

Jaysins shop was a little hole in the wall, with loud music and crude pictures every where. If you looked in, I wasn't a misfit, Kate was. Which is usually the other way around.

I went first, of course. I knew my design before because I had envisioned it for some time.

Across my back, in big cursive script I got "Rhett" with a set of wings. It's officially my favorite tattoo of all now.

Kate Anna got a pocket watch, on her thigh, almost exactly like mine. The clocks time was stopped on Rhett's time of birth, Rhett's name and birthdate surrounded it and just like mine she hid a "L" in the pattern of the watch, as I had a "K".

I had held her hand the whole time, while she made scrunched up faces, ah and eww sounds and Jaysin and I conversed.

That had to have been the sexiest tattoo I have ever seen.

I couldn't concentrate on anything but how her tattooed thigh would look around my waist or up by my ears.

I know, I know. I'm a man.

It was late when we got home and my mother insisted that Rhett stay with her, since he had been asleep since 8pm.

It was nice to lay with my girl, cuddled up and fall asleep. I felt like I was in a state of bliss and I never wanted it to go away.

Authors note:

So yeah, filler chapter. Big stuff coming up.

How cheesy was it for them to get Tattoos?

I have 2, do you have any? I can't wait to get more.

Anything you want to read for them, let me know?

Thanks for reading.
