"So the botanical garden is booked, mini golf is also secured, and tickets for the history museum are secured too," I mumbled to myself.
I had booked the entire trip to Catalina for a 3-day getaway. Andy was about to get home and I was gonna tell him about the surprise since it was 3 weeks away.
"Biscuit do you think he's going to like it?" I asked her.
Like she could really reply to me.
I paced around waiting to hear a door shut. I was bubbling with excitement.
A little after 3:30, Andy waltzed in the front door.
"Hi darling I'm home," Andy called out.
"Hi love," I greeted him.
"Jesus darling you scared me not gonna lie," Andy chuckled.
"Ooops," I remarked.
Andy just smiled as we made our way into the living room.
"Somethings up, what are you hiding?" Andy asked chuckling.
"Nothing, well maybe something," I hinted.
"I'm a terrible guesser," Andy told me.
"Ok sit down and get comfy," I remarked.
"Ok darling," Andy followed my instructions.
I sat down with him.
He put his full attention on me.
"Ok so as you know our anniversary is coming up," I started off.
"Yes," Andy replied happily.
"So, I planned a 3-day getaway for us in Catalina," I stated proudly.
"Catalina? Oh darling that sounds wonderful," Andy replied.
"So I have some stuff booked but I won't tell you till it gets closer," I told him.
Andy just smiled really big at me.
"You did that for us? Oh darling," Andy commented as he was unsure of what to do.
"Well of course I did it for us. Plus Karen always talks about how wonderful Catalina Island is and I was tired of just hearing about it. I wanna see it," I told him chuckling.
"That's my girl," Andy remarked as he leaned over to kiss me.
"Yeah so I hope you are excited to go," I commented.
"Excited? Darling, I'm thrilled. You always know how to make me feel important," Andy told me for the hundredth time.
"Of course, I know how to do that I've been practicing for at least 5 years," I joked.
Andy chuckled.
"Well that's a very good point darling," Andy told me.
Then the doorbell rang which was odd.
We both went to see who it was. It was a delivery.
Andy opened the door.
"For (Y/N) Gibb," the delivery man spoke.
"Yes," I said as I reached to sign for it.
"Thanks," the delivery man handed over a box.
I looked at the return address. It was from my parents.
"My mom sent us something," I commented as I took the box into the living room.
I went to grab some scissors to open it.
"Wait shouldn't you call her first?" Andy asked.
"Why?" I asked.
"So you can tell her it arrived safely," Andy defended.
"Oh I guess," I replied as I reached to dial my mom.
Andy laughed my movements.
After a few rings, she picked up.
"Hi mom," I spoke.
"Hey did it arrive?" was the first thing my mom asked.
"Yes what is it?" I asked.
"It's an early anniversary gift since you two won't be home that week," my mom explained.
"Oh," I commented.
"What is it?" Andy whispered.
"An anniversary present," I replied back.
"Have you opened it yet?" she asked curiously.
"It's sitting right in front of us. Did you want me to open it while we are on the phone?" I asked her.
"Please?" my mom asked over the phone.
"Ok fine," I told her as I handed Andy the scissors.
"Here cut it open," I told him.
"Oh goodie," was my mom's comment.
I chuckled to myself as I watched Andy undo at least 3 layers of clear packing tape.
"What could it be?" I asked.
"Just wait and see," my mom remarked.
Andy got all the tape off and then the real unboxing came. There was a smaller box in the big box surrounded by packing peanuts.
"Open it hurry," I told Andy.
"I have to be careful darling," Andy remarked.
"Yes he does," my mom told me.
"Mom said you do my bad," I told him.
Andy chuckled as he managed to get the box open.
"What is it?" I commented.
"It's a plate with our wedding picture on it," Andy remarked.
"That's so pretty mom," I told her as Andy pulled it out of the bubble wrap.
"I hope you guys like it," my mom said.
"Like it? I love it mom," I told her.
"I love it too," Andy commented so she could hear.
"I'm so glad you guys do," my mom told us.
"Now where to put it?" I said as I looked around the house.
"The china cabinet?" Andy suggested.
"Yes," I replied.
"Ok you two have a good evening love you," my mom said.
"Love you," me and Andy both said.
It's the little things.
