Teagan
My first thought upon waking is a turkey. I smell turkey cooking. I get out of Marc’s bed, well I guess my bed too and throw on the shirt that is on the floor. I take a moment to sniff it. It smells so fucking good. All Marc. I smile and walk out of the bedroom.
He is standing by the stove making French toast and whistling what I think is “We Found Love” by Rihanna. I smile and realize that I love this man and I would do anything for him. Which is fucking crazy, I met him yesterday, but I can’t help it. I know he’s said it to me like three times now and I vow to say it back next time.
He is just standing there with his back to me when I suddenly blurt out. “I fucking love you.”
He turns slowly, mid whistle. “I know. You wouldn’t have let me have you if you didn’t. You are not that type of woman.” I smile when it dawns on me.
“Did you just Han Solo me?” He tosses the spatula down on the counter and crosses to me.
“How the fuck did I get so lucky? I mean you are beautiful, loving, and a nerd. My fifteen-year-old self is giving me a high five right now.”
I burst out laughing. “I have three older brothers Marc. I know a thing or two about Star Wars and just about every other kind of nerdgasm there is out there. I prefer Star Trek, but I can dig it,” I shrug.
“I love them both. Do you want to watch one of the movies when we finish breakfast? I have the afternoon free.”
“Oh, when do you have to go back to work? Should I just get a hotel or something?” I say. My lip is quivering, and my eyes fill up with unshed tears. I really don’t want to leave this man.
“Oh, no Princess. We have dinner plans. I don’t have to be back at the station until Monday. I am not going anywhere, and neither are you. Dry up those tears.”
I sigh and jump up into his arms. Wrapping my legs around his waist. “Which Trek did you have in mind?” I ask excitedly.
“The best one."
"Into Darkness,” We say at the same time which causes us to laugh.
“Oh my God, I love you so much,” I say with a laugh.

After polishing off four pieces of French toast and the movie, we made love for the rest of the afternoon. He periodically checked on the turkey which I found out needed to be thawed and cooked at a reasonable temperature for several hours. Who knew?
Around four I take a solo shower. I miss him so much, but he had to go out for a little while. Where is he going? The Shop and Bag is closed today, and any store in Dallas would be scary as fuck seeing that it is Black Friday.
I have just gotten out of the shower when the doorbell rings. Looking at the clock on the nightstand I know that it is four thirty and Marc still isn’t home, so I grab the first thing I find and rush putting it on. Running down the stairs, I practically skip to the door to answer it. I fling the door open and my eyes widen.
“Suzy, what are you doing here? Come in, what’s all that? I have so much to tell you.”
As she walks in, I notice several others behind her. Evan and Sam were there with two women. I took the chance that the one Evan was holding hands with was Candy.
“Oh, my fuck. I must look like a mess.”
I am wearing a pair of Marc’s basketball shorts and a t-shirt. My hair is wet, and since I couldn’t find a brush, it was a tangled mess. Shrugging I look over at the girls I have never seen before.
“You must be Candy,” I say as I extend my hand toward her.
“Hey, Teagan. It’s so lovely to meet you finally.” She pulls me into a huge hug.
“We are so glad you are ok.” Sam says.
“Careful Angel. Not too tight. We got some exciting news yesterday.” He says with a pointed look at her belly as she pulls away from me.
“Oh, my shit! That is so exciting guys congratulations!” I say as I turn to Evan and pull him into a big hug.
“Hey shrimp, where's my hug?” Laughing, I let go of Evan and go straight to Sam playfully punching him in the arm.
“Hey Sammy, what’s been going on, how’s the farm? I know I don’t get out to the farm to help out much anymore.” I say.
