“Spoiling”

An excerpt of Kandie and Joe, when they’re married.

 

I looked up at Joe, “Can I talk to you?” I asked.
“Sure.” Joe nodded he set his cup down and followed me  out of the room. “What is it?” He asked.
I looked up at him, “Joe, you have given me everything I have ever wanted, even when I don’t deserve it or need it.” I said.
“What’s your point?” Joe asked.
“You spoil me, Joe, I like when you give me things but you don’t need to. All I want from you is for you to love me.” I dropped my gaze.
“Kitty, I have loved you since I knew what it really meant. Giving things to you is just one of my ways of showing you that.” Joe lifted my face to look at him. “I enjoy spoiling you, baby. Please don’t make me stop.”
I smiled at him. “OK.” I said. “What is another way you show me you love me?”
“I thought you would ask that.” Joe smiled. He leaned down and kissed me.
I smiled back up at him when he pulled back. “That is a good way.” I said.
“I know.” Joe slipped his arms around me. “How about we go upstairs?” He asked.
“OK.” I giggled.
Joe lead me up to our room, “Now, I will show you again.” He said.
I smiled. “If you must.” I teased.
Joe leaned down and kissed me again.
“I like that way.” I said once he pulled back.
Joe laughed. “Yeah I thought you would. I do.”
I pushed away from him to change into my pajamas. I looked over  at him. “What?” I asked.
“Come here.” Joe held his hand out.
I put my jeans in the drawer and closed it, I went to him and took his hand. “What?” I asked again.
“Do you love me?” Joe asked.
“Of course.” I replied.
“How much?” Joe slipped one arm around my waist.
I looked down at him, for I stood in front to where he now sat on our bed, “Enough to stay with you for so long.” I replied.
