Tucker’s place is nice. Small and cozy. He’s very clean and organized.
Once the pizza is done in the oven, he plates it for us and hands one to me.
“Where are we eating?” I ask, looking from the table to the living room. “You said something about watching a movie?”
“Yeah, I set something up.” he doesn’t look at me when he says it and I see his cheeks grow pink again.
“Do you know how hot it is for someone like you-tall, stacked and full of tattoos-to blush so much? You're such a sweetheart, and that makes my heart explode.”
“Really?” He looks at me with a soft smile.
“You don’t see how amazing you are, do you?” I smile back.
We get upstairs and he clears his throat. “This is my room.”
“Oh, getting me in bed before we’ve even eaten. I like where this is going.”
“Stop.” He chuckles, nodding his head to join him inside.
Stepping into his room, I take it in. It’s nice, your average single man's room, not much to it.
Navy walls, black bed set, a dresser, and a TV mounted to the wall. “We're gonna eat in bed and watch a movie? I’m down for some snuggles.” I tilt my head to the side. “Although, your TV is facing the wrong way.
“Not exactly." he says going over to his closet. Only, it’s not a closet because when he opens it, my eyes light up.
“No friggin way!” I gasp. “Holy shit, that is your nest?”
“Yup.” he chuckles. I walk over to him and peek inside. Oh my god, it’s amazing. It kind of looks like mine with all the blankets and pillows, but while my nest has a lot of pastel pinks, purples and yellows, his are pastel greens, blues and oranges. He slides out of his shoes, steps inside and sits down in the middle of the nest. “You coming in?”
“You want me in your nest?” I gape at him.
“You smell of gingerbread snickerdoodle and chocolate peppermint, and I’d love nothing more than for you to make my whole nest smell like you and Nick.” he chuckles.
Excitedly, I take my shoes off and settle next to him. “For the record, you can totally come into my nest next time you’re over.”
He smiles down at me and kisses my head before grabbing a remote. He turns on the TV and goes to rent a movie. “Scary movie?” he asks me.
“Oh yeah.” I grin, snuggling into him.
For the next few hours we eat, cuddle and scream before laughing through the rest of the movie.
By the time it’s over, I feel happy and content.
“Tucker.” I roll over onto my side and he does the same.
“Yeah?”
“I’m glad you came into our lives.”
His eyes search mine before he smiles softly. “I’m glad you came into mine too. Nick on the other hand...”
“He’s getting there.” I laugh. “Just give him more time.”
He nods. “At least he’s not being an asshole to me anymore.”
“Hey, same!” I grin. “Since we locked his dick up, I think he learned his lesson.”
Tucker groans. “I can’t believe we did that.”
