A light || Ricky and Nini

Chapter 5

Nini POV
I walked outside into the chilly air silently thanking myself for the jacket I pulled on before leaving. I'm honestly surprised I grabbed it at all, Ricky does crazy shit to my mind. As I'm walking through town the events from last night begin to resurface and I internally squeal. Ricky made me feel so loved and appreciated and it only had been a day since he could say the words to further express it. It was an amazing feeling, finally being loved back. And I would've sat on the edge of the bed running my fingers through his soft curls all morning if I could've. We needed breakfast however, and as the woman of the house (or the relationship) I was taking charge to make sure we wouldn't just drink coffee all morning. I made sure I had bags of ingredients for pancakes before I walked home.

Ricky POV
I got a text from Nini telling me she'd be home soon with breakfast, and I was relieved that I was already showered and only just beginning my pondering over her song book. I picked it up and looked at the worn cover wondering how many times she relied on this book for comfort when I was unable to be around for her. Damn did I want to look through her songs. Not to snoop, but to feel her emotions and to see her so unguarded. I put the song book on her desk and turned away hoping if I asked her later she'd sing a song for me. I heard the front door click open and within seconds she's running up the stairs to greet me. She knocks on the door before entering and she hops over to where I'm seated on the bed. I chuckle lightly at her playfulness and grab her arm for her to sit on my lap. She makes herself comfortable quickly and she's buried her head in my neck. I feel her fingers stroking the base of my neck again and I realize how much I've come to love that gesture. "I brought home stuff to make pancakes" she says quietly. "Mmm my favorite" I said just as quietly while kissing the side of her neck. She sighs into me and I feel her arms tighten around me, enough to know that we probably won't be making those pancakes any time soon. Nini then pulls back and looks into my eyes asking what we should do today. "Actually, I was wondering... well I was wondering if you'd sing me one of your songs" Nini is clearly shocked and her face turns a little red but I know that if I keep her confidence up she'll cave. "Come on babe you're seriously one in a million talented. And I've never technically heard an original song of yours that I haven't reacted terribly to." She giggles lightly and sighs responding with "you're lucky I love you." I grin widely and allow her to move off my lap to grab her keyboard. She opens her song book and I catch a glimpse of the title. "This is All I Want" she says quietly. I scoot closer to her and gently rub her back knowing these little touches of encouragement help her greatly. I saw it in her yesterday. She begins singing the song and her beautiful voice fills the bedroom. I feel every bit of love and heartbreak that went into this masterpiece and when she finishes she looks up at me hopefully. "Beautiful, baby" I whisper to her in hopes that I didn't have to string together a long speech. She closes her eyes and smiles softly while finding her place on my lap again. She kisses me so passionately that I swear we'll break in two. My hands go to her hips and her hands find their way to my hair. Our bodies fit together so well, and we complete each other in ways I could never imagine. "Let's go make pancakes now" Nini says breaking my thoughts. I laugh and help her off the bed promising her we'll finish what we started tonight.
