Who: Preston & Audrey What: A Surprise, Wedding Plans, Etc. Where: Victore Manor When: September 23rd, 4pm Warnings: Currently none, but most assuredly steaminess ahead. XD Open to: Audrey!
It wasn't too much longer after this exchange between father and son that Audrey found herself at the Victor's door step. There were dancing butterflies in her stomach as she took a moment to collect herself. Breathing in and out a few times in order to calm her nerves. Why was it that at the prospect of seeing Preston, she got nervous?? Not a bad sort of nervous, but one that was amazing and wonderful and made her head spin.
This probably sounded insane. It did in her mind, at least! Which was why she never actually told Preston that he had this affect on her... he'd likely laugh and think it utterly endearing, but still. It was a little embarrassing.
Anyway! After her moment of trying to calm herself down, she rang the door bell and waited impatiently to be ushered in and be taken to her Preston. It hadn't been that long since last they saw each other, but as pathetic as it sounded, only a few hours had to go by without him by her side and she'd start missing him. Merlin, she was so attached!
The bell caught Preston's attention, and he eagerly strode down the entryway and sped ahead of the House Elf who had heeded the call of a visitor. "I've got it!" he alerted it quickly, grinning from ear to ear as he reached out and swung open the door.
Ah, Audrey.
Just as she had all these strange-sounding feelings and symptoms that rolled around inside of her, he found himself feeling inexplicably happy and energized at the mere sight of her. More often than not, she had the power to render him absolutely speechless, and right now was no exception.
He stood, staring at her with a wide and somewhat goofy grin, before reaching through the threshold and grabbing her hand to pull her inside. "Hello, love!" he cried, immediately wrapping both arms around her tightly and lifting upward.
She'd no doubt be surprised and wonder why he was so exuberant today, but she'd soon be finding out! And he could only hope that once she did, she would share in his unabashed happiness.
When her eyes met his as he opened the door, her breath caught in her throat and her heart did that fluttering thing where it went all hyperactive on her and... yes, yes she was very excited to see her Preston. Seeing him always made her forget everything else in the world. Seeing him made her believe it was just the two of them, no one else. It made her believe that nothing could harm her. Ever. Which was why she wished they didn't have to be separated for such great lengths of time(because a day or two was so long!). It was why she wished their wedding wasn't so far off in the distance!!!
Audrey opened her mouth to say a greeting of her own, but before she could reply he had grabbed her hand to pull her inside, as well as pull her into a hug that made her feet raise from the floor!! She returned the hug as best she could, and as she did so wondered what had gotten into him. She could tell he was in some mood, so she was instantly curious. But before that even, she had to laugh because his good mood seemed to be infectious. Though
( ... )
Preston grinned, glad that Audrey had noticed his elevated mood. He wanted her to be as excited as he was, he wanted her curiosity at such a high peak so that when he revealed what the surprise was... she'd be anything but let down. In fact, he was positive that the only way she could possibly be let down by what he had to show her was if she were expecting some sort of surprise wedding.
Hell, he'd be let down, too.
But no, no wedding today. Something nearly better than that, something that would last far longer. "You'll see," he replied cheekily, gripping her tightly as he nudged her back outside onto the doorstep. "Now close your eyes, hold on tight. No peeking, or I'll keep this surprise to myself. You understand?"
He gave her a playfully reprimanding finger wag before clutching her waist gently, waiting for her to follow his command.

"You look like perfection on legs, how are you?"
