Living Happily After

"I was hoping to take one up." Violet suggested.

"Take one-what."

"A request, to see the client personally." Violet explained. "It's been months since I've taken one up again."

"How long will that be?" Gilbert inquired, "I have the week-off next week, if that helps."

"That's good, I can leave end of the week. It said it'll only take a couple of days, like 3-4 days." Violet nodded.

"Okay." Gilbert had no opposition, but he sensed Violet had some sort of hesitation. "Are you worried about something?"

"Yes? Maybe. Well, I don't know about leaving Robert this long." Violet said.

Gilbert smiled, "It won't be long, like you said, it'll only be a couple days. Plus, he's got his father with him."

Violet glanced at him with uncertainty.

"What? He's my son, of course I can take care of him." He said, as if he was answering an unspoken argument.

Violet chuckled, "I'm joking, of course I trust you with him." She kissed his nose, then backed out, turning around. "Night."

"Hey!" He unintentionally exclaimed, pulling her to face him again. "You can't do that without my permission."

'What kind of skit am I playing?' He thought to himself.

He pressed his lips on hers.

"Wait-" she interjected.

He immediately stopped and looked at her, worried if he did something wrong.

He was surprised when she quickly kissed him as well, sitting on top of him the next second.

With shocked eyes, Violet spoke, "It's my turn."

"Wha-" He was interrupted by her eyes so close to his. He was being lured.

She tried to lean on him without falling into his chest, but failed, only to have Gilbert take over her.

"That surprised me and you'll hold me next time...but that attempt you did was very alluring and cute that I can't help myself." He laid his hands on hers, and slid his lips on her neck, earning a light moan from her.

Just starting his fun, Violet yet again interrupted him. "I think you should stop."

"Why is that?" Gilbert said, confused.

"Because you have early work tomorrow." Violet reasoned.

'Alright, but-' "You started this, you can't get out of this so easily." He continued.

"Wait." Violet unhanding herself from his grasps and putting her arms around his neck.

She kissed him passionately, sitting on his lap and digging her hands into his hair, leaving him breathless and to gaze helplessly into her eyes.

Then she stood up.

"Where are you going?"

Violet smiled at him and said, "I heard Robert." heading to the other room.

"I didn't hear anything." Gilbert muttered to himself, following her.

He stood at the doorway, with Robert in the crib-awake, and Violet tending to him.
