Jeremy woke up to Elizabella running her hands through his hair. He slowly opened his eyes and she immediately froze and her cheeks flushed. "Good morning." His voice came out raspy. She smiled. "Morning." She said softly. He frowned when he noticed that her eye was still swollen and it now has turned slightly purple. He moved his hand to her face and cupped her cheek. He leaned up and placed his lips softly to the bruise under her. "I wish I knew who did this to you. I would make sure they received much worse than a black eye." He muttered while pulling away.

She sighed and pulled the thin sheet to cover her chest. "What are your plans for today?" She asked. He knew she was just changing the topic on purpose but he it let it go. "What's today? Saturday?" He questioned while looking over to the nightstand to grab his phone. "Yup, Happy Halloween." She said sweetly. He tensed up immediately, he forgot about his parents plans. "Shit" He cursed under his breath.

She rose an eyebrow at him. "What? Forgot to pick up candy?" She asked in amusement. "No..no it's just...well my parents are having a dinner at their house tonight...they invited you." He said slowly and watched for her reaction. Elizabella's eyes went wide and her lips parted slightly. "Me?" She squeaked out. "They...well more so my mother is dying to meet you. I understand if you don't want to come. I can make up an excuse, they'll understand." He lied. Jeremy's father would be pissed if she didn't show especially after Jeremy said she would.

She shook her head quickly. "No, I would love to meet your parents...I just...well I don't have anything nice to wear." She said quietly while looking down. "You could wear that dress I bought you...you look lovely in that." He offered. "No... I can't wear that! That dress is hardly appropriate to meet someone's parents in." She huffed and he nodded as he knew what she meant. "Well... we can go shopping?" He asked skeptically. He needed to pick up a new pair of boots anyway. She smiled brightly. "You'd go shopping with me?" She asked in surprise. He shrugged. "Yeah? Why wouldn't I?" He asked while getting out of bed.

He strolled over to his closet and picked out a pair of jeans and a plain blue tee shirt. "Would you like to join me in the shower?" He questioned while pulling out a pair of briefs from his drawer. She blushed deeply. "That sounds nice..." She said as she sat up fully. He smirked over at her. "I'll try my best to keep my hands to myself...no promises though." He said while heading into the bathroom.

He turned on the water tap and brushed his teeth while the water got hot. Once he finished brushing his teeth he stepped into the shower and stood right under the shower head and let the hot water pour down on his face. "You coming, love?" He called out. The shower curtain was suddenly jerked back. "Right here." She chirped. Jeremy's heart stopped. "Christ!" He spat as she caught him off guard which made her giggle while she stepped in behind him.

He turned around to face her. He made sure to stand to the side so the water would still reach her. He didn't even try to be discreet as he let his eyes rake up and down her body. He has seen her naked many times by this point but she still seemed to amaze him. He was happy to see that she has actually put on some weight since they have been together, her face is more full and her curves have become more noticeable and he loved it.
