"I don't understand why we're going to relationship counseling. I thought we was good?", Cench as we walked in.
"It's not relationship counseling", I chuckled. "It's a fun couple activity."
"I feel like I'm being set up", he mumbled.
"What can I do for you today?", the receptionist asked as we walked to the counter.
"I booked a couple session", I politely replied.
"Names?"
"Ameeria M. and Oakley C."
She clicked on the computer for a minute.
"Down this hall, last room to the right", she said and pointed to her left.
"Thank you", I said before grabbing Cench's hand and walking down the hall.
We made it to our room and I opened the door.
"It looks like a preschool in here", Cench said. "You sure we at the right place?"
"We wouldn't've made it this far if we were at the wrong place", I said pulling him into the room.

"It says answer the following question about your partner. Do NOT discuss answers. You will share answers amongst each other once the session is over", I read out loud. "Also please note that the environment you're in is meant to help you bring out your inner child. Do anything (child appropriate) you please."
"Bet", he said and started marking his paper.
I set my paper down and grabbed a pencil.
'1. Favorite color(s)?' 'Maybe grey, blue and black, sorry I forgot :( You look good in every color though!'
'2. Favorite position?'
"Woah", I said as my eyes widened. "How they go from favorite color to favorite position?"
Cench just laughed as he continued writing on his paper.
'Doggystyle'
'3. Favorite thing(s) about them?' 'You're smile, voice, tattoos and demeanor'
'4. Something random' 'Stop eating all my damn snacks!!'
'5. Favorite song(s)' 'You don't have one, which is crazy!'
'6. Random words of love' 'You are my most favoritest person in the entire world! Keep being you, I love you baby!'
I felt Cench leaning over trying to look at my paper.
"Hey, you're not supposed to look at my paper", I said nudging him back.
"I just want to see what you put?", he laughed.
"You'll see it at the end", I said and covered my paper.
"I'll tell you what I put", he said tryna bribe me out my answers. "I put Ameeria has-"
"LA LA LA LA LA LA LAAAAA", I said and covered my ears. "I can't hear youuuu!"

"Have you ever painted before?", Cench asked me.
"Nope", I said putting the finishing touches on my painting.
"You sure? That painting look like Picasso did it."
"Naturally talented I guess", I said and put my brush down.
I looked over his canvas.
"That a flower?"
"It's a bowl of fruit."
"Oh", I said furrowing my eyebrows and tilting my head a little. "It's beautiful baby."
"Something's missing", he hummed.
He put paint on his hands then turned to me and wiped it on my shirt.
"There we go", he said.
"Cee, I'm gonna beat your ass", I said as I started chasing him around the room with a tube of paint.
"Wait babe I'm sorry", he laughed.
I continued chasing him before catching him and squeezing the yellow paint on his shirt.
"I just got this shirt", he chuckled.
"Well too bad", I said and stuck my tongue out at him.

"I would make my mom a macaroni heart and flowers just like this for Mother's Day when I was little."
"You used to do this as a kid? My mom would yell at me if I wasted her pasta like this", Cench said shaking his head as he watched me glue pieces of elbow noodles onto a piece of construction paper.
I finished it and held it up for him to see.
"Still got it", I said.
I looked up just in time to see him about to throw glitter on me. I moved out the way and he missed.
"Cee!"
"Why'd you move?", he laughed.
"You're really taking the bring out your inner child thing seriously", I said sitting up.
"I'm having fun", he said and smiled.
"And that's all that matters", I said and leaned over to peck his lips.
I grabbed a bottle of open glitter and dumped it on his head before jumping up from the table and rushing away from him, laughing like a little kid.
He ran up to me and tried to hug me but I ducked.
I ran to the other side of the room.
"Relax I just want a hug", he said calmy with a smile, while walking towards me.
"Nooo", I laughed backing up. "You're covered in paint and glitter."
"We could be twins", he chuckled.
'Crap', I mumbled as my back hit the wall.
He sped up and quickly wrapped his arms around me tightly.
"Let go of me!", I yelled playfully as I struggled trying to get out his embrace.
"I love you", he hummed as he rocked us side to side.
