A/N: Pumping out fics, baby! Thank you so much for the love and the support! You guys are amazingly beautiful and deserve the absolute best things in life!
Summary: You’ve been having a trying week at work and Erik want to relieve your stress.
Warnings: None. Erik and Reader aren’t engaged and don’t have a child yet.
Word Count: You know me, not knowing and shit.
The clock struck five and you were packing up your things to go home. Your head was pounding and your hands were sore from writing up all your paperwork. You feet were sore from your pumps and your back slightly aches from all the standing. It was Friday and you were just so ready to get home! Your week had been one of the roughest. Your boss had denied your request for a raise but had given your co-worker, a blonde man with blue eyes and that “it’s a man’s world” vibe, a raise without question.
Your mother and father have been struggling with bills so you’ve been helping them the best you could. Erik had been working nights so you barely got to see him besides a quick conversation in the morning. You’d been swamped with paper work. You’ve been overlooked in your meetings this ENTIRE week because they got a new employee, yeah, white woman, and all eyes were on. And on top of that the bitch had the nerve to stuff her head in your head full of curls, effectively making it messy. Did I mention she did it without your permission?
You just wanted to go home and relax. Go to sleep, wake up in the middle of the night, eat some snacks, then go back to sleep. Even if you were tired and it seemed like everyone was stepping on you, you were always the nicest you could be. With that being said, anyone you passed on your way out was greeted and waved goodbye to.
As you made your way to your car, you grabbed your keys, praying to God you didn’t drop them. You smiled as you kept a grip, unlocking the door and quickly setting yourself up so you could make your way home.
The drive home was steady...until you hit traffic. You sighed deeply and looked up. “Why....just why?” You sat back, thinking of how the usual 25 minute commute home would now have an extra 45 minutes added.
The traffic moved on and you finally pulled into your driveway, breathing deeply as you turned your car off, noticing Erik’s car was gone. You rested your head on the steering wheel, slightly disappointed but not detoured.
You gathered your things, getting out and locking the car before making your way to your car. As you pulled out your keys, rifling through them to get the key to your front door, they fell out of your hand. You paused for a moment before sighing and looking up. You squeezed your eyes shut, blinking away the tears. “Please, not right now. Please...” you softly whispered as your hands shook and tears ran down your brown cheeks.
You leaned against the door, dropping your bags and slightly gasping as you cried harder. The week just has been so trying and something so simple as dropping your keys had broken you. You pressed your back against the door, slowly sliding down before covering your face, taking in deep breaths.
You didn’t have time to just sit and sob as you heard a car pull up. You looked up, noticing that Erik had come home earlier. You immediately tried to straighten yourself out, standing up and quickly wiping your tears as you heard his door slam.
His footsteps made you come back from your short breakdown, making you pick up your keys and personal items. As you picked up your last item Erik gently pressed his hand to your back and you straightened up, giving him a fake smile. “Hey, baby!” You spoke, trying your best to adjust your voice.
Erik’s eyes stared down at you, gently cupping your face. “What happened, Y/N...?” His eyes showed his worry and fear. All the exhaustion, tiredness, and fatigue came rushing back and you rested your head on his chest, dropping your things and hugging him tightly as the dam broke again.
“It’s been so hard...this week. I’m so tired, Erik...” your voice was small, weak and quiet, contrary to the blissfully bright, loud yet gentle voice you had. He tightly hugged you, squeezing you as you sobbed harder. “It’s okay, baby. I’m here.” He kissed your head, his heart aching at hearing you sob.
“Come on...” He gently grabbed your keys, unlocking the door and opening it before picking you up, allowing you to wrap your arms and legs around him. “Erik... my paperwork.” You spoke and shushed you. “I’ll get it, Princess. Just let me take care of you first.
You nodded gently, clinging to his muscular build like a child. You placed your face in his neck, breathing in his cologne to calm yourself down.
Erik had ushered you upstairs, stripping you of your clothes as a hot bath was being made in the background. Erik gently kissed your fore head as he hugged you. “I’m gonna go and make you some dinner, you take a bath, do your little skin routine and come downstairs when your ready?”
He pulled away but you pulled him closer, breathing him in. “Can you just order takeout? I want to spend time with you.” He chuckled and nodded grabbing his phone as you walked off to get in the bath. You sighed as you set your foot in, the water seeming to relieve the tension in your muscles.
“Oh my god...” you moaned as you slowly slid your body in, submerging yourself in the soapy, warm water. Erik made his way into the bathroom, placing the phone on the counter. “Food will be here in about 45 minutes. Tell me what happened, Princess?”
He sat himself on the side of the tub and you sighed, rubbing your hand over the bubbles in your bath. “Well...” You began before going into full detail about your week. You continued to talk, your eyes closing as you leaned your head back and Erik’s hand glided across your smooth, mocha skin. He listened to you intently, gently massaging your calf.
“...and that was my trash ass week.” You sighed and opened your eyes to find Erik staring back at you. You gave him a gentle smile as he sighed. “Y/N, you give people so much of you. And I’ll never understand why, especially when they do you so wrong. You take care of everyone, so let me take care of you. From now to the next Friday.”
“Erik, I have to go to work—“ Erik shook his head and stood up, stripping from his clothes. “No, I already called. You’re cashing in some of those vacations days, baby.” He dropped his pants and slid in the bath, sitting across from you and resting your legs over his.
You looked at him before sitting up, straddling his waist as you grabbed his face. His hands rested on your thighs, slightly rubbing them. “I love you...” you whispered to him before pressing your lips to his. He chuckled, wrapping his arms around you and kissing you back with three times the passion.
You slowly pulled away, rubbing his scruff as you pressed your forehead to his, reveling in the comfortable silence.
You and Erik sat on your couch, completely naked besides undies. The two of you had decided against clothes, wanting to be as comfortable as possible. You didn’t wanna wear a bra and he didn’t wanna wear sweatpants. The only option was undies.
You sat on the couch, watching cartoons, saving your movie for when the food arrived. Speaking of which, the doorbell had rang a few times. Erik unraveled himself from you before adjusting his briefs. You turned, following his movements. Erik opened the door, laying the delivery man who had stolen a peek behind him and caught a glimpse of your naked breasts while you were busy looking through the movie selections.
Erik caught him, looking at the young boy, who couldn’t be any older than 18, and chuckled. “She’s beautiful, I know. But you wouldn’t be able to keep up with her pretty ass, even if you did your best. Keep the change.” And he shut the door, leaving the kid scratching the back of his neck, embarrassed.
Erik plopped down beside you with the food, pulling out the containers and setting them on the table in front of you two. Your squeal caught his attention and you leaned over to catch his eye. “Let’s watch Princess and the Frog!” He smiles at your excitements he quickly running to the kitchen to grab two plastic cups.
When he came back he kissed your forehead as you grabbed some chopsticks, “Whatever you want, baby.” You smiled and pressed play, watching the iconic Disney pre-movie scene come up.
You looked over at Erik and kissed his cheek, causing him to look at you. “Thank you, Erik...for being there for me.”
He smiled sweetly and gently cupped your chin, “I’m here to relieve your stress and love you through it all.” He pecked your lips and turned to grab a dumpling.
You stared at him a little longer before turning your attention the food and the movie, thanking God he blessed you with Erik.
