Description
Your keys jangle as you find the right one to unlock the door. After you find it, you turn the lock and step into the foyer of your apartment. You felt exhausted. It had been an incredibly long day at work and you couldn't wait to get a warm bath started. You move quietly through the house, knowing Grant is probably sleeping and you don't want to wake him. You grab a quick snack and tiptoe your way to the bathroom. You hum quietly to yourself as you start the water. You pour a ton of bath soap into the water, making it all bubbly and foamy. You put on some soft background music and slip out of your work clothes and into the tub. You sigh in content as the warm water covers you. You close your eyes and lean your head back. But just as you are relaxing, you hear a noise, like someone stepping on a floor board. You freeze. You know Grant is sleeping. Suddenly, horrible scenarios run through your head about burglars or even worse, those horror movies when the girl is in the shower and gets murdered. You try stay calm, reminding yourself that you had an agent asleep in the other room. But when the door creaks open and Grant pokes his head in, you jump. You stare at each other in surprise before Grant bursts out laughing. You take a handful of suds and try to throw it at him, but he's too far away and it lands with a splelch onto the floor.
"You're mean," you grumble. "I thought you were sleeping."
Deeming it now safe, Grant comes into the bathroom and closes the door behind him. "I couldn't sleep." He walks to the tub and crouches beside it, reaching over to kiss you. Your fears forgotten, you kiss back eagerly. He pulls back smiling and kisses your wet forehead.
"Did I wake you?" you ask gently.
The earlier merriment dies out of Grant's eyes and he shakes his head, avoiding your gaze. "No."
You frown, knowing it must have been something at work. But, knowing Grant, he wouldn't tell you until later.
"Want to join me?" You ask.
"Sure," Grant smiles at you.
You move forward in the tub while Grant undresses. He slips in behind you and you lean back against him as he wraps his arms around you.
"Good day at work?" he asks.
You shrug. "Not really. But, that's okay. I'm here with you now." You smile and close your eyes.
Grant starts massaging your shoulders and you groan. "Oh...that feels wonderful," you sigh.
"Baby, do you think.....would you like to take a vacation soon?" Grant asks softly. You pull away to look at him.
"Where did that come from? What's happened?"
"No reason. I just want to get away with you," he says smiling, but you're not convinced. You study him for a minute and sigh, turning back around. You know he won't tell you anything.
"Okay," you say.
Grant slips his arms around you again and kisses your shoulder. "I love you."
"I know," you grin.
