Never Say Never Unless You've Tried

"Nena?" I called as soon as I walked into my house.

Her car stood outside my driveway and my door was unlocked.

"In the kitchen." She called back making me smile big.

When I walked into the kitchen I got a wave of pride and happiness as I saw her cooking in my kitchen wearing one of my shirts.

"Hey baby" she said grinning as she walked over to me giving me a kiss. Smiling I kissed her back and wrapped my arms around her.

"Something smells delicious." I whispered as I pecked her lips. Brenda grinned and moved away from me walking over to the stove.

"I'm making Portuguese chicken , with some Portuguese rolls"

I laughed and walked over to her wrapping my arms around her waist from behind.

"You making Portuguese food? Why?"

She turned around in my arms and kissed me "because I love you. And because your mom is coming over in like 20 minutes."

I groaned , "I wanted you for myself."

"Tough" Brenda giggled , "it's just dinner."

I smiled and kissed her lips with a little more passion than I should have with the knowing that my mom was coming over in a short bit.

"Hmm God I love you. You look so in place here. You belong here"

"Crissy.. we've talked about this" she sigh taking the food off the stove.

"I know. I know. I'm patient I promise"

She giggled and kissed my cheek and then took out the bread from the oven.

"You think your mom will like this?"

"Of course she will. She always loved your food and besides she ate my cooking once and pretended to like it"

Brenda giggled , "maybe she really liked it?"

"Oh come on baby , we both know I can't cook."

"Well I still love you. Whether you can cook or not"

"Love you too" I whispered

"Can you set the table?" She asked me

"Something tells me if I say no I will be in a lot of trouble"

"You're right about that"

I laughed and started setting the table.

I couldn't help but smile , things were finally good.

I will personally kill myself if I mess it up again.
