Work Text:
Walking up the driveway to your house you feel the ache in your feet after a long day of walking in heels at work. As you hold onto your purse you think about all that happened today. There was an accident on the freeway and you were late, then you got yelled at by your boss for being late. ‘God today was just a shitshow.’ Walking up to the porch you dig your keys out of your purse to unlock your door. As you enter you drop your keys on the floor.
“Of course.”
You bend down to pick up your keys and throw them along with your purse onto the coffee table. You sit back on the couch letting out a huge sigh and putting your hands on your face.
“Welcome home my love!”
a sweet voice says. You look up and see your beautiful blonde fiance, Caesar, walk down the hall and into the living room. As soon as he sees your worn-out expression his face turns to one of concern.
“Oh my.”
He says rushing to you and kneeling on the floor in front of you. He looks up at you and cups your cheek.
“Tell me my love, what is wrong?”
Leaning into his touch you explain.
“Well I was late to work because of an accident on the freeway, my boss yelled at me for that. Then I realized I forgot my lunch, and then the whole office got called to an impromptu meeting where we all had to explain how we were being “productive” this quarter and I fumbled on my words and I looked so stupid!”
You threw your head back onto the couch groaning.
“That sounds awful my dear, I’m so sorry to hear you had a rough day. But you knew today was my day off, why didn’t you call me? I could have brought you your lunch.”
“ I know, I know, but I didn’t want to bother you.”
He had a flash of shock on his face before he cupped your face in his hands.
“No no no! My dear, you are never a bother! Never be afraid to text or call me for anything at all.”
“Okay…. I’m sorry I didn’t call.”
He looks at you with a sympathetic smile.
“Here…”
he takes his hands back and leans down to help you out of your shoes. As he takes off each of your heels he gives you a soft kiss on your ankles. You giggle looking at him as he looks up at you with a wide smile. He gets up and takes your shoes to the rack by your front door. As he walks back up to you he asks
“What do you want for dinner?”
God, ever the sweetheart isn’t he?
“Honestly whatever is fine, as long as you’re cooking it.”
Smiling back at you he responds.
“Of course my dear.”
he heads to the kitchen and fumbles around for a bit and brings you a glass of water.
“Here, just relax while I take care of everything.”
He kisses you on the temple before walking back to the kitchen to get to work. As you sat there you thought about Ceasar. How on on your first date he held the door open for you, pulled out your chair for you, insisted he paid the bill, hell when it got cold he gave you his jacket.
Even after being together for a few years he never stopped being a kind gentleman. He always knew how to make you laugh, he always knew what to say when you were sad. He was just amazing. Caesar’s voice brought you out of your thoughts.
“Alright! It’s all ready!”
you got up a stretched while you walked over to the dining table and there stood Caesar, holding your chair out for you.
“You don’t have to do that you know.”
“I know, but I want to.”
You smiled at him and took your seat. He walked into the kitchen before coming back to the table setting a plate in front of you before she put his plate down and sat himself.
“Alright, there you go, have as much as you like.”
“Ah, classic fettuccine.”
Caesar’s cooking was amazing, especially with recipes from his home.
“Sorry, I know it’s basic but you seem tired and I didn’t want to make you wait any longer for some food.”
“It’s perfectly fine, your cooking is always amazing.”
He smiles at you and you both start eating in a comfortable silence. You finished up your food and stared at Caesar as he took his last bite and wiped his face with a napkin. He stretched then noticed you were staring and gave you a questioning look.
“What are you looking at.”
You took this chance to drop a cheesy flirt.
“Oh nothing, just looking at my wonderful fiance who I love so much.”
He snorts and reaches over to squeeze your hand. You stand up take your plates and bring them to the sink. As you start rinsing them Caeser came behind you, wrapped his arms around your waist, and laid his head on your shoulder.
“Hey, don’t worry about dishes tonight, we can take care of that tomorrow.”
You thought for a second that you both had work off tomorrow and had a long day.
“Hmm okay,”
You say turning off the sink. As you turn around in his arms to face him he gives you a sweet, but deep kiss on the lips. After you part he takes your hand and leads you to your shared bedroom. You sit on the bed and fall back onto the sheets.
“Wait here for a minute.”
He walks into the hall to do something. You take out your phone and scroll for a bit before Ceasar returns to the room to take your hand again.
“Follow me.”
You get up and he takes you to the bathroom, where you are greeted with a scene of a bubble bath lined with candles, bath salts, and bath bombs.
“There, I figured a nice warm bath could help after a long day.”
Caesar never fails to impress, does he? Your eyes widen and a blush creeps on your face. You pull Caeser in for a deep hug and he graciously returns it. He rubs the back of your head and whispers to you
“Anything for you bella.”
God this man is amazing. He leaves your embrace and smiles.
“Well, I shall leave you to your relaxation.” He winks.
“I’ll be in our bedroom if you need anything.”
He walks over to the door and closes it gently, leaving you to the bath.
You can’t help but smile again, this man was everything you could ever dream of. Ladies and men the world over would kill to have someone like him. And he chose you. You couldn’t be more happy.
You undress yourself, setting your clothes to the side stepping in to the bath. The water is nice and warm, the perfect temperature. You sink into the soapy water letting the warmth surround you. After bathing and relaxing a little longer the water is starting to get cooler.
‘Suppose its time to get out’
You step out of the tub grabbing a towel and wringing out your hair. After patting yourself dry you wrap the towel around yourself and pick up your work clothes and walk to your bedroom.
As you open the door you see Caesar laying out a set of your pajamas on the bed.
“Hello bella, I hope you enjoyed your bath.”
“Of course I did, you are the best you know that right?”
He smiles nervously and rubs the back of his neck
“You flatter me mi cara”
He gestures toward the pajamas he laid out on the bed
“I put them in the dryer so they would be nice and warm for you when you got out”
You put your work clothes in the laundry basket and pick up your pajamas putting your face into the warm nightshirt. You take your towel off and as you do so you hear Caeser cough and look to see him turn to face away from you. You giggled.
“Aw c’mon it’s not like you’ve never seen me naked before!”
“I know I know but i’m still trying to be a gentleman!”
You laughed at his answer
“Okay okay I get it”
You begin to get dressed in your pajamas and you hear Caesar getting dressed in his own clothes. He had picked out a cute loose top and shorts in your favorite color.
“Okay you can look now.”
He turned and looked at you with a look of pure adoration.
“No matter how many times I see your face, I always find it just as beautiful as the day I fell in love with you.”
You smile, running and jumping into his arms. He picks you up and spins you around gently as you both giggle. He then adjusts you and carries you bridal style to your side of the bed and he tucks you in. He puts his hand in your hair and runs his fingers through it.
“I love you so much cara, get some rest.”
He leans down to give you a kiss and you happily return it. He pulls you in close and gives you one last kiss on thee forehead before laying on his side of the bed. As you snuggle up next to him starting to fall asleep you return his words.
“I love you too Caesar.”
As soon as your eyes close he quietly reaches over to his nightstand drawer and pulls out a small box.
‘I can’t wait to give this to her, I hope she says yes’
