Have I Told You Lately...; Annie & Dom CD

The Crimson Baroness

Wednesday May 24th
Off Camera


The sun is just rising in the East, streaming through the kitchen windows as Annie Dupree stands there, waiting for the Keurig to work its magic and make that sweet cup of joe. Her arms stretched upwards to try and work out those kinks; the sweet smell of coffee is already permeating the air, wafting throughout the kitchen from the first cup that Annie made this morning. But she needs a second one.

Not for her, however. And unfortunately not for her husband either; Chase is down in New Orleans visiting his parents, apparently, a fact Annie found out by the note he’d left for her after she got back from Kingston, Rhode Island at the weekend. He didn’t say why – it’s not their anniversary or either of their birthdays, he must’ve just felt like visiting them. Which, frankly, came as a surprise to Annie; they’d just celebrated their first anniversary on Thursday night – she’d invited a few friends around to help them celebrate – before she headed off to travel and watch an LFL game (her Divas beat the Los Angeles Blackout), and catch the FGA show in Rhode Island. Then, when she got home after a few days Chase was gone without much explanation. Just the letter saying he’s visiting his parents.

As Annie stands there wearing her oversized Brad Marchand jersey, however, she doesn’t mind all that much. Well, it’s not her Bruins jersey, per se, but she’s claimed it for this week. The first phone call she’d made after reading the note that said Chase would be out of town for a week was to him, telling him to come over, and that he could stay over if he’d like. Partially so they could continue helping her practice her guitar playing and her singing, but mainly so they could make love every night, and wake up in each other’s arms every morning.

The second cup of coffee just finishes pouring as Annie hears something coming from the living room. A smile forming on her face as she recognises the sounds immediately; the gentle strumming of her new Jim Dandy, the low growling voice accompanying it as he sings, “Have I told you lately that I love you?” He’s been on something of a Van Morrison kick as of late.

Annie smiles to herself, resting back against the kitchen counter with her hands on either side as she waits. “Have I told you there’s no-one else above you? You filllleeeeed my heeeaaart with glaaaadness, took away alllll my sadness. Ease my troubles, that’s what you do…” he growls as he steps into the doorway of the kitchen; Dom Harter stands there naked as the day he was born, with only the guitar to cover his modesty. The familiar crooked grin spread across his face as he keeps playing without breaking out into the first verse.

Annie can’t but laugh at the sight of her … Dom, standing there playing her new Gretsch guitar; she can’t help but wonder if Chase would ever do something like this for her. Would he do something so weird and wonderful, so spontaneous, so quirky? Just to make her laugh, and bring a smile to her face. “The coffee ready yet?” he asks, still strumming as he does so.

“Uh huh,” she murmurs, nodding for emphasis.

“Great…” he growls before continuing the song, “Oh the morning sun in alllll its glory, greets the day with hope and comfort too. And you fill my life with laughter, you can make it better. Ease my troubles that’s what you do…” Dom treads across the kitchen floor as he sings, until he’s mere inches away from Annie. She’s still smiling, enjoying being serenaded – something Chase hasn’t done for her in … ever, really. Dom can’t get the second verse started, however, as Annie lowers his head to give him a brief, passionate kiss on the lips. Even the strumming of the guitar is brought to a halt as the pair of them linger for a moment, not wanting to be the one to pull away afterwards. “Have I told you lately that you look good in a Bruins jersey…” he jokes, breaking the silence.

Annie giggles again, moving backwards to rest against the counter top again. She’s always had a habit of stealing Chase’s clothes – his shirts, his hoodies – but here she was, a staunch New Yorker, the New Queen of Staten Island, and a Rangers fan to boot, wearing a Bruins jersey. His Bruins jersey. “You would think that,” she replies, blushing slightly at the compliment, “but I feel dirty for wearing it!”

“I know a solution for that,” he jokes again, shifting his eyebrows like that Milhouse gif he’s so fond of using on Twitter. But there’s something about that cheesy grin he wears; he’s always happy to see her, always looking forward to their meetings and their time together. And that makes her happy. Annie can’t quite believe it’s nearly a year since the first time they slept together, but that anniversary is fast approaching too, coming up next month. And it’s not like Dom’s interest in her has waned at all. Part of her feared they’d drift apart after she bought her own house, and started living with her husband instead of with Dom. But they’ve always made time for each other, even after she left FGA and they weren’t travelling together as often anymore. Even through his myriad of relationships with Katie, Blyss, Jaelynn, Molly, and Cobalt, he still makes time for Annie. Still makes an effort for Annie. And she’s trying to think of the last time Chase went out of his way to do anything special for her. “Penny for your thoughts.”

“Huh? No, uh, it’s not important,” she says through a wan smile, “I was just, uh, thinking about us.”

“What about us?” he asks, placing a hand on the counter top either side of Annie, with just the guitar keeping them apart. His face moves in closer again, giving Annie another kiss as she can’t help but giggle.

“It’s just,” she starts, blushing more than before as she tries to look anywhere else but his eyes. Anywhere except for those hazelnut colored orbs that are currently warming her soul. She can’t resist, however, not for long. “I was just thinking…” Annie bites her bottom lip, summoning up the courage to say what’s on her mind, “…thinking that maybe I love you…”

She feels her knees go weak. Her heart ready to drop into her stomach if this doesn’t go the way she hopes; they’ve always agreed that what they had between them was just going to be sex, that just because she was in an open marriage doesn’t mean that Annie was supposed to catch feelings for any man other than her husband. Only Chase was supposed to have a place in her heart. But this thing they’ve got? Him of all people? He’s found a way in…

“I love you too,” Dom answers back without missing a beat, before he leans in for another kiss. Annie wraps her arms around his neck, holding him close as the embrace continues, and she can’t help but think: maybe it’s not that bad that Chase isn’t here…
