The Way We Were

Later In The Day, Evening

Caleb and I came home after spending a casual day with my family. I kicked off my heels, which were killing my feet, and stomped to the living room. I tossed my keys on the coffee table and dropped onto the couch, feeling pretty tired.

Just as I turned on the t.v, Caleb stood behind it and looked at me, "'Kay, get up, we're going grocery shopping."

I furrowed my brow and looked at him, "Why? I just got on the couch?" I whined.

"We're making dinner tonight." He smiled.

"We are making dinner? Caleb, you know I can't cook." I replied.

He walked over and sat next to me and leant down to kiss my nose. "I think it's time for me to teach you."

I smiled and lightly laughed, "You don't know what you're getting yourself into."

"I have an idea of what I'm up against." He laughed, "C'mon, do you want me to bring you your sneakers? You're feet are pretty marked up from your heels."

"Please." I grinned. He got up and went to the bedroom to get my shoes, so I got up and walked to the mirror in the entryway and checked my hair.

"Here." Caleb called, picking up the keys from the table, holding out my shoes as he walked toward me.

"What's for dinner?" I asked, slipping on my shoes.

"I don't know, I guess we'll decide when we're shopping." He smiled, taking the keys from me. "I'm driving."

I lightly laughed, he knows that I don't let anyone drive my car, I guess now that's gonna have to change.



We got out of the car at the grocery store, I hesitated for a moment. I don't usually go into grocery stores, I usually have an assistant or I get Hobbs to go and shop for me.

Caleb smiled and held out his hand to me, "C'mon, we all gotta do it sometime." I laughed and took his hand as he led me to where the carts were.

"We need a cart?" I asked, assuming since it was only the two of us we'd just need a basket.

"Yes, we do." He smirked as he then picked me up.

"Caleb! What're you doing?" I nervously laughed.

"It's so you don't have to walk." He laughed as he placed me inside, I sat down and had to pull my knees close to myself. I laughed and covered my face, feeling slightly embarrassed. He began pushing the cart into the store and right away we were noticed. People laughed to themselves and pointed, some even took pictures.

"I can't believe I'm doing this." I chuckled.

"Doing what? What should we get for dinner?" Caleb smiled, turning the corner going into the vegetable section.

"Let's get some salad." I smiled.

He stopped and grabbed a head of lettuce and tossed it into the cart.

"Hey!" I laughed, picking it up.

"You're just groceries now." He smiled as he continued to push the cart. I just laughed.

Caleb pushed me around all over the store and piled in the groceries on top of me, attracting more attention every aisle we turned down. But I was fine with it, this was Caleb's sweet way of showing his affection.

He leaned on the cart and was looking down at the back of an old receipt, it was a list of things to get. "I think we have everything."

"I think so too." I smiled, looking at all the food and junk food covering my legs. He pushed the cart to a till and began unloading the stuff onto the belt. When my legs were finally free I sat up and he leaned down to kiss me before picking me up out of the cart.

After he paid for the groceries we took them out and put them in the trunk of my car, I tossed him the keys and climbed into the passenger seat, waiting for him to take us home. I turned up the radio when I heard Aqua's "Barbie Girl" come on. He groaned and complained about the song but I simply told him that it was my car. We just laughed.

At the loft, Caleb and I each had bags in our hands walking up the stairs. "Why did you have to rent from a building that doesn't even have an elevator?" He whined.

"It's three storeys, it's not that bad." I laughed, "Besides, I never go out and get my own groceries, Hobbs usually does."

"Do you think as a wedding present your mom could give us a servant or two? Even Hobbs will do." He joked, laughing loudly. I loved his laugh.

I began unlocking door, lightly laughing at his joke. "Isn't that bordering on human trafficking? I don't think people give each other people as gifts."

We came in and shut the door after us, I walked into the kitchen and began putting away the food. "What's for dinner?" I asked, tired of the question.

"Um..." He looked inside the bags, not having anything planned. "Meat, vegetables, rice...stir-fry?"

I smiled, "Sounds good."

"Good. You can cut up the veggies and whatever and I'll do the meat." He smiled, continuing to put away the groceries.

"Gives me all the work." I chuckled, taking out a knife and a cutting board from the drawer. I cut up some peppers and broccoli and other random veggies, and managed to not cut myself. I was happy.

"Am I done?" I asked, lightly laughing as I rinsed my hands in the sink.

"Yes, now we can relax." He replied, putting the meat in the pan to fry

"Yes!" I ran out of the kitchen and hopped onto the couch. I turned on the t.v and quickly found that Sons of Anarchy was on, so I began watching it. Caleb came and sat next to me, pulling up my legs and letting me stretch them out across his lap.

"Is Eastbound and Down on?" He asked.

"No, only Sons of Anarchy." I chuckled.

He laughed and shook his head. We were watching the show for a bit, but then we started talking.

"So, have you thought at all when you'd like to get married?" He asked.

I looked up at him and quickly sat up, excited by the idea, "Yeah I have, like, how soon were you wanting to get married? I mean, I still want a ceremony and reception. I don't wanna get married at a courthouse or anything."

"The sooner, the better." He kissed my shoulder.

"Ok, if you don't like this date, we can change it. But I have a good feeling about...November 28th." I bit my lip.

He looked up and thought for a moment and then looked back at me with a smile, "That's like, a month and couple weeks away."

"Is that too soon?" I asked, biting my lip a little more.

He grinned and kissed my forehead, "That's perfect."

I couldn't help but scream as I hugged him, "I'm so excited! Now, I want a completely different theme. I used to always want a huge and lavish wedding, but this one, I want a sweet and simple country wedding. I want the ceremony on Followill Ranch. Everything's gonna be super casual, my bridesmaids in sundress, and simple food, maybe like a potluck or something. And I wanna wear boots under my dress." I grinned.

"Is this city girl actually turning into a country girl?" He laughed, laying me down and laying next to me, he began kissing my neck. "Whatever you want, you'll get."

"I need to text people!" I struggled sitting up but managed to, I grabbed my phone from the table and began texting friends; the first one I texted was Jack.

"Jack! Guess what?! The wedding's back on, we're getting hitched Oct. 29th. You're coming as an honourary guest, save the date!!!"

Caleb laughed at me as I was frantically texting everyone, including my mother.

"I'm gonna go get us something to drink, what'd you want?" He asked, standing up.

"An orange Jones, they're in the fridge." I replied, looking at my phone. I sent out a massed text and when I finished sending it I went through my contacts seeing if I forgot anyone, my hand froze as I came upon Ryan's number. I shifted my eyes up to see if Caleb was coming back, he was checking on the food.

I pressed Ryan's name on the phone and started a new text;

"Hi Ryan, it's Audrey. How are you?"

"The food's just about done." Caleb startled me and caused me to quickly send the text.

"Perfect." I smiled, I took the soda from him and took a drink.

"So who'd y'all text?" He asked.

I glanced down at my phone, "Everyone." I grinned.

"Cool." He laughed, "So did you wanna watch a movie with dinner? It's close to being done."

"Sure, did you have any in mind?" I asked.

He thought for a moment and then smiled, "Officer and a Gentleman?"

My jaw dropped, "Anthony Caleb Followill, have you become a true romantic?"

"Not yet, hold on." He chuckled, he got up and went into the kitchen. Soon he came back with candles and began setting them out on the table. "Now I'm a romantic."

I smiled and pulled my knees up to my chest as I watched him.

"I've decided that we need a romantic night in, together, just you and me so we can spend some much needed alone time together." He continued as he sat down next to me.

"I like the sounds of that." I bit my lip.

"And I've meaning to talk to you about this...do you think, maybe after we get married and after you're done with Factory Girl, maybe you'd take a break from acting...and we could...start a family?" He rested his arm on the couch, he looked at me holding his breath waiting for my response.

I widened my eyes surprised by his question, but as I contemplated it and thought for a long time, I looked back up at him and smiled. "I'd like that."

"Really?" He too seemed surprised by my answer.

I sat up and knelt on the couch beside him, grinning, "Yeah. I mean, before I just didn't have time and I was scared. But, not only would getting married solidify our love, but can you imagine our kids?! They'd be so freakin' cute!"

He started laughing. "I'm excited now, let's get started!" He playfully pounced me and pinned me to the couch, kissing my neck as I laughed and pushed him off me.

Managing to sit up, I continued, "A little boy, he'll have blonde hair like his mom, and blue eyes like both of us, and a cute button nose like his daddy." I smiled and held Caleb's hand.

"Oh but a little girl would be amazing, a little Audrey." He chuckled.

"Yikes, that's the last thing the world needs; another Audrey." I laughed.

He stood up and laughed, "You don't have much confidence in yourself. I'm gonna check the food." He walked to the kitchen. My phone vibrated in my hand and quickly I checked it, I held my breath as I fumbled with the buttons, and sighed when it was only a text from Jack.

"Congrats! And thank you, I'd love to come to your wedding!"

I smiled and texted him back, and then continued watching t.v.

Later after Caleb and I finished dinner, we watched the movie. It was about nine o' clock already and the movie had about half and hour, maybe forty-five minutes left to go. I excused myself to go change into my "pajamas", but really went to put on a new nightgown that I just bought. I fixed my makeup and flipped my hair, spritzed a little perfume and finally put on my silk robe and tied the ribbon around my waist.

I walked out to the candle lit living room and knelt on the couch beside him, "I bought something that I think you might like." I smirked, undoing the ribbon and opening up the robe to show him my silk and lace nightgown.

He smiled and pulled me toward him, I sat on his lap and we kissed. I unbuttoned his shirt and kissed his neck. He pushed the robe off my shoulders and I dropped my head back as he kissed my chest. He wrapped his arm around me and laid us down, he crawled up along my body and pulled down the straps of my gown. I could feel his tongue flick slowly against my nipples, and then he'd suck them sending chills down my spine.

I felt his hand push down along my torso, further down until his hand reached underneath the gown. I took a deep breath as I felt his hand slip down my panty, I moaned as he began rubbing slowly. He went faster at times and caused me to buck my hips, and moan louder. I ran my fingers through my hair and panted, feeling myself tighten around his fingers. Caleb kissed my lips before going completely down, he slipped off my panties and soon I felt his mouth against me. I jerked as I slightly sat up, running my fingers through his hair.

"Oh Caleb, Caleb." I'd sigh. I closed my eyes tight and dropped my head back, feeling my body shake I held onto the couch cushion. I bit my lip, trying to catch my breath and not scream, but it was too late. "I'm coming." I moaned, and he began pushing his tongue deeper and faster. I screamed his name and sighed, letting my body relax as he licked me up.

He moaned as he sat up, licking his lips with a smile and undoing his jeans. I smirked and crawled up to him and licked his lips and kissed him. I told him to lay down after he took off his pants. I slowly pulled off his boxer briefs and looked down at him, biting my lip and smirking. I sat up and crawled onto his lap, holding him and slowly easing him into me.

He held my hips and I began thrusting myself against him. I leaned down and kissed him passionately as he continued pulling me toward him. His tongue and mine, entwining and rubbing against each others. I pushed my hips against him began pumping myself harder and faster, feeling my heart race and moaning in pleasure.

"Lay down." He moaned, holding me close and reversing our positions. He held my legs and began thrusting harder and faster into me, giving me the same feelings of ecstasy as before. I panted and dug my nails into his back. I moaned louder and began screaming, feeling our hot and sweaty bodies sticking against each others. The smell of his cologne and the taste of his kiss turned me on. "You're so beautiful." He grunted, kissing my chest and taking my breast in his mouth.

"I'm coming!" I screamed as he went faster. My body was shaking and my hips were bucking, I closed my eyes tighter and gave a gasp as I came again, my body going limp as I panted, laying there naked and satisfied on the couch as he slowed down, smiling in fulfillment, knowing he gave me the best sex I've ever had. He leaned down and kissed me again, "let's go to the bedroom, we're not done yet." He smiled.

I smiled back and nodded. He took my hand and led me to the room.
