The Autumn Leaves

Autumn Leaves

"Oof!" I yelp. Something had slammed into my back. And was now wrapping it's arms around my hips. Robert. I laugh at myself. That was not what I was expecting.

I smile and continue to glare at Brittany. We were having a staring contest and Robert was apparently trying to distract me, as he was now trying to tickle my stomach. I would not lose.

I lean my elbows on the table, staring intently into Brittany's eyes. She bit her lip, probably trying to hide a smile. "Agh my contacts are fogging over!" Brittany cries. She squeezes her eyes shut and opens them a second later, blinking like a retard.

I stand up and throw my hands in the air, yelling, "I win!" Robert laughs and moves around me, releasing my hips to instead stand in front of me. He wiggles his eyebrows playfully and kisses me.

"Congratulations." He winks and walks back into the kitchen to make food. Ooooh, food.

Brittany stands up and walks over to me, placing her arms around me tightly. "Good job. But I have to run now. So I'll see you later. Oh, and make sure you tell him soon," She licks my cheek while pulling away and then snickers as she runs for her life out the door.

Robert stands defeated in the doorway. "But...but I thought I was the only one who could lick your beautiful face..." He looks so helpless, and like he wants to drop the spatula.

"Sorry, it wasn't my choice, trust me," I groan as I try to wipe all her saliva off my cheek.

"I'll never forgive her, ever. I shall only stare blankly at her as I make it awkward. Forever."

I roll my eyes. He was such a child in a mans body. I stride over to the window and look out it, my eyes scanning across the lawn and resting on the train tracks. I'd always wanted to live by train tracks. The sun was setting. It was gorgeous.

"Robert?" I call.

"Hmm?" He questions back.

"You wanna go for a walk?" My lips curl up just from the thought.

"Uh, sure. Just one second..." He says, his voice fading. After a minute he walks in to the living room where I'm still standing, looking at the train tracks. I turn to him, giggling when I see his face.

His eyebrows furrow in confusion and I smile even wider. I take a small step towards him, so my stomach is pressed against his, and I can feel his breath on my cheek. My eyes flicker from his lips to mine and he starts breathing heavier. I lean in slowly until I'm close enough to kiss him. Then I lick off the drop of sauce on his chin and step back quickly, walking over to the couch to grab my coat.

He hasn't moved, and I don't think he will. I chuckle. "Problem, Hun?"

"N-no.." He stutters and forces his feet to move and turn to face me. But then...he gets the look in his eye. You know the one. My eyes go wide and I drop my coat onto the floor.

"Robert...calm down don't..." But it's too late. He's already charging me. I barely have time to brace for impact before his body hits into mine and we go spiraling backwards onto the couch. He just tackled me.

His body is crushing mine and he's giggling on me, while I'm stuck under him having trouble breathing. "Rob-" I try to say but I'm cut off by his finger on my lips.

"Dunker, you didn't think I'd let you get away with that did you?" He has a mischievous tone to his voice. It was freaken sexy.

"I'm not a Dunker anymore," I wheeze out.

This makes him smile wider. "Right, you're my beautiful wife who I love. How could I forget?"

I stare into his gorgeous eyes for a moment, ensuring that I can't breathe. Then he flashes his teeth at me for a moment before they meet my lips. This is what he always did when I teased him. He pinned himself against me and kissed me. Served me right, I knew what would happen every time. Not that it was a bad thing....
