Fifteen minutes later we were parking at a secluded side of the beach. I observed her as Olive looked around with a slight frown.
“Highland, what beach are we at? We’re still in the Keys, right? Why does none of this look familiar?”
I laughed lowly as I ignored her and got out so I could get her.
On this side of the beach, camping was permitted. They even offered limited dining options, which worked for me tonight. Since we had a reservation, our first stop was the office to let them know we were here. I prayed everything was already set up and ready. Including the tent set I picked for our glamping option. It came with an oversized tent with a bed and sitting area inside. Yeah, Olive and I would be camping, but I wanted my baby comfortable.
Olive asked questions nonstop on the way to the office.
“Highland, you got me not liking the idea of being surprised anymore. Why won’t you answer any of my questions?”
“Because you’re on a need-to-know basis right now and right now all you need to know is that I love you and this is only thebeginning of the treatment I plan to make part of our journey together.” I snatched her around the waist, holding her tight with one arm while the other covered her eyes once I saw the lights illuminated in the distance.
“Oh hell no, now you’re really not playing fair.”
“I’m not trying to be fair, baby, just trying to show you my love and dedication.” Once we were close to the table for two set up with candles and rose petals surrounding it, I uncovered Olive’s eyes. Her sharp gasp was worth it all.
She turned to face me with both hands covering her mouth that I knew was wide open as the tears welled up.
“Oh, Captain, this—thank you, baby. I love it. No one has ever done something so beautiful for me.”
I grabbed her hand as I continued to lead her, pulling her chair out.
“Worth the surprise?”
“A million percent, baby.” I leaned down and kissed her lips gently.
“What’s on the menu since we already ate dinner?” she asked as she noticed the plates and silverware.
“Another surprise.” This was all on me since I brought hers from the house. When Tunk told me Olive had put in an order for the kids’ s’mores, I put mine in too. Since we’d been together she hadn’t made it to Seasonal Sweets and the season was almost over.
“I would say close your eyes but I’m afraid to get cussed out this time,” I joked as I went for the bag that had her cheesecake in a lunch box with an ice pack underneath.
“Captain, I can close my eyes, see?” Olive said as I turned to see her eyes closed as she peeked out of one, making me laugh.
“That’s a damn shame, just cheating and peeking,” I said as I placed the container on her plate. “Dessert is on the menu.”Olive peeked once more before she opened them both, giving me a toothless grin.
“You must really love me. I can’t believe you remembered this.”
“Of course I love you. Olive, I remember what you had on the first day God blessed my presence with you. Those gray biker shorts had that ass—” Olive playfully hit my hand. I was now moving to open the bottle of red wine I had the staff put on ice to pair with the sweet cheesecake.
“Easy there, Captain.” I poured some into her glass first, then mine.
“No seriously, Olive, I told you I could never forget. I log every detail about you into my heart, both the spoken and the unsaid. I noticed that you play with your curls when you’re frustrated and how when it’s close to your period you get hella horny. Which explains your mood this weekend.”
“Or it could be the lack of dick over these past few weeks that’s got me going crazy. We are in makeup mode, Captain.” She reached for her glass, holding it up for a cheers.
I followed suit, clinking my glass with hers.
“And here’s to giving you all the dick you and my pussy can handle for the rest of our days, baby.” Olive squinted as she scowled at me, which had me laughing. We took our sips but Olive wasn’t done with the conversation.
“Sorry Captain, but this is my shit, I just let you get some every now and then,” she stated so matter of factly that had me sitting back to watch her open the cheesecake.
There was a pregnant pause while I watched Olive take her first couple bites of her dessert and moan her satisfaction.
“Hmph…you gon’ give me some?” She nodded as she wore a sly smirk and I stood up, closing the very short distance between us, standing behind her. Olive just didn’t know she’d fucked up.Not wasting any time, I pulled her braids, causing her head to fall back against my abdomen.
She grunted at the impact before she pushed out a cute giggle which further did something to me to prove my point of who she belonged to. I leaned down, putting my mouth to her ear.
