Thank you for the message and I haven't watched it but I am devastated.   That was a painful one.

When you live in the UK and the new season of NCIS New Orleans isn’t airing here yet.........the struggles are real

You have had the absolute day from hell so now your mood as gone from pretty good this morning to either wanting to cry or punch something.  You sigh as you open your car door to head home all you can think of now is a shower and then crawling into bed and starting again tomorrow.  

You open the door to your apartment so lost in your own thoughts it takes you a second to realise someone is there.  The smell of food hits you so you head to the kitchen and there he is at the stove.

He looks up to see you standing there “oh hey darlin, sounded like you had a tough day so I hope you don’t mind I wanted to come see you were alright.”  He smiles at you and pulls you in for a hug.  You instantly wrap your arms around him with your face in his chest, as you feel the tension of the day drain away.

“Oh Dwayne Pride, I love you more than you know.”

“Hey now, I love you too baby.  Now there’s a nice hot bath waiting for you and the food will be ready when you are done.”

You smile at him, reach up and wind your arms around his neck, your hands finding his hair “thank you” as you lean up and kiss him your foul mood completely forgotten.  Now if you can just convince Dwayne to join you.

Dwayne is in the kitchen making himself something to eat.  The team cracked their case and for once it had a happy ending for all involved so they can take that as a win.  Dwayne sent his team home for the weekend to relax and rest or party and have fun.

He was smiling to himself but the smile dropped slightly when he realised he was cooking for two people but that his other half, you, weren't there.

You were away for work and had been the last three weeks with another few to go.  It dampened his mood but he knew he would at least get to speak with you.

He was so lost in thinking about you he didn’t notice that one of the pots was about to spill over.

“Ya know you might want to watch that.”

He jumps torn between looking at the pot and following the sound of that voice so what he does is freeze and do neither his mouth hanging open as he stares.

He hears a laugh before you reach over and turn the pot down, walk over to him and then put your hands on his face “hey there good lookin” as you lean up and kiss him.

He too shocked to respond or do anything until he feels you moving away and he grabs you “what are you doin here? You ain’t supposed to back for another few weeks.” 

“I can go if you want?” you smirk.

“Don’t you dare.” he responds with one of those smiles he saves just for you.

He ducks down to kiss you and as your lips meet you wrap your arms around around his neck, hands into that silvery hair that you love.  You smile into the kiss as Dwayne lifts you, with you wrapping your legs around his waist never breaking the kiss.

Eventually you lean back for air, still wrapped around him “so this food can totally wait right?”

Dwayne laughs “who cares if it can’t” as he walks out the kitchen never putting you down as you guys catch up in the best possible way.

There is a carnival in town so of course Christopher wants to go, his face lights up when he asks you to go you just can’t say no.

When you get to the carnival his excitement has gone up a level and it makes you smile as he holds your hand as you walk around taking it all in.  

You realise though that its not just a random walk through, he definitely leading you somewhere.  And that’s when it hits you - the big wheel.  You are not the best with height but you know you won’t say no and Christopher knows it too.

“Come on, it al be fun”.

“How do I let you talk me into these things.”

He smiles “You love me.”

You roll your eyes as he laughs and you both make your way to get on the big wheel.

As soon as you sit down and that bar bar goes down you immediately regret your decision especially when it moves and you start to go up.  You hold on tight to the bar.  When it nears the top the wheel stops to let others on and you tense up.

“Come on sugarbelle”  He holds his arm out so you can snuggle against his side you immediately move closer to him and relax. “We can get wave to get off when it goes round.”

You shake your head “No I will be fine bama, its kinda nice to be snuggled up next to you.”

You snuggle closer and wrap your arms around him as he kisses the top of your head maybe its not so bad after all.

Dwayne was having a horrible horrible day.  Everything that could have gone wrong with the case did and all of it was outwith his teams control and he didn’t like that one bit.

All he wanted to do was crawl into bed next to you and forget today happened, which would be nice if you weren't away on assignment.  He tried calling earlier but you didn’t answer which made his day even worse.

He needs to snap out of this mood he thinks as he trudges upstairs.  He decides maybe a shower will help clear his head.

As he rounds the corner and heads through the door, he stops in his tracks.  As lying on the couch fast asleep is the one person, the only person who could make this day better, you.

He kneels down next the couch, reaches out and runs his hand through your hair.  You start to stir and he smiles “Hey darlin” 

You open your eyes a little confused first until you look and see Dwayne Pride with a soft smile on his face “hey you, tough day?”

“It’s a whole lot better now” he says as he leans forward for a kiss.

He opened and closed the door as quietly he could.  It was 2am so he knew you’d be in bed and didn’t want to disturb you.  It had been a tough case and he wanted nothing more than to see you but he wouldn’t wake you if he could help it.  

He gets changed for bed as he gets to his side and his about to climb in he just stops.  He looks at you so peaceful and beautiful and it strikes him how lucky he is to have you to come home too - to talk to hold to love. 

He doesn’t know how long he has been lost in his thoughts but is shaken out of them when he hears a sleepy “you better hurry up and get in here Bama.”

“Yes ma’am” he says with the biggest smile on his face.

He’s greeted with a sleepy kiss in which you hand comes up to rest on his face.  “Love you bama now sleep.”   He smiles as you lay your head on his chest, kissed the top of you head “Love you more.”
