Back at it Again (One-on-One)

"Hm. I'm going to hold you to that," she said easily. "No take-backs."

He grinned with relief.

"Oh, good. Well, let's finish up here, then."

 

She kissed his cheek.

"Don't be grumpy, Landon. I'm the grumpy one."

Arlo checked his watch.

"So, just to take inventory, we don't have beds or tables, but we do have cats, a lamp and a coaster."

"Do you know how many movies we could watch with that time?"

 

"Right. And we're off to a good start."

"Our time together is flexible, then."

 

"And cats. Don't forget the cats."

He kissed her cheek.

"We can party!"

"Ugh. Fine. Should we take the blankets from Arlo's place?"

* * *

"That is true."

 

"Yes," she said, nodding to herself. "Let's."

He sighed with mock irritation.

"I suppose."

 

"Are you sure you don't want them to see?"

He grinned before looking down at their plates.

"Would you like dessert?"
