But I know the rules.
No kissing or touching.
Not until after…
Our room’s on the first floor, positioned just right so Ezekiel can get where he has to be as well as keep an ear out for baby.
Lifting my dress so I can take quicker steps to the top of the stairs. I shake my head to myself. Still amazed he even does this, but more amazed that it gives me goosebumps every single time.
I assume the position, calling out to let him know I’m ready.
And then we do it.
Ezekiel comes out of our room, making like he’s just come in the front door of the house. Just like he did the first night we met.
He looks up at me. The same expression. The same commanding presence he had then and still does now.
It’s our first sight moment all over again.
He stares at me with the same intensity and I still get the same shivers as I slowly make my way down the stairs. Taking my time. Savoring every second.
Knowing that when we recreate that first moment, we’re cementing the same moment forever.
And knowing when I finally reach the bottom, falling into his loving embrace, that I’ll never have to wonder.
I’ll never have to long for the love of my life ever again.
He’s always gonna be there, at the bottom of the stairs. Whether it's in our own home or his beautiful ancestral home.
And he’s always gonna be looking at me the way he did that day. The only way we know how to look one another in the eye.
Because every time I see him. Every time we touch or kiss. It’s love at first sight all over again.
And this time’s no different to all the others.
“I love you, Eve…” He whispers, tracing a stray hair back behind my ear.
“Daddy-” I rasp, always blubbering by the time I get to the being in his arms part. And always loving him more each day, every second we’re together. “I love you to Ezekiel… I. Love. You.
Merry Christmas,” he reminds me, “And happy birthday…” he adds, squeezing my hand and looking up at the mistletoe hanging above us, I feel all the magic of the season.
The reason why we do what we do.
“Merry Christmas…” I whisper.
His lips on mine just like our first time.
Our first night is every night.
He’s all I ever wanted for Christmas and he's all I want now.
This year, and every year.
For the rest of our years.
Together, forever.
The End.
