"Say cheese"

Alejandro sighs as he rubs his stubble then fixes his face into a smile, I take the photo and look down at my phone. "Ai terminat acum?" He asks as he walks over to me, I swipe through the pictures that we have taken during the three hours we have been at the pumpkin patch. Are you done?

We have eaten the food, collected the pumpkins, played the games and we are now doing the photo ops. Alejandro who is not the biggest fan of taking pictures humours me as he moves on to stand behind the cardboard of a cow.

He smiles at the camera as I click and then he walks around it, "I ask again. Teresa Ylenia Antonia Stanescu, are you done?" He asks making me look at him and nod. "Yes I am finally done, thank you" I say as I lean up kissing him.

He places his hand on the back of my head as he kisses me back, I pull away and slip my phone into my bag as he grabs the handle of our wagon that is filled with the pumpkins I picked up.

He takes my hand in his as we make our way to the cashier and stand in line, I rest my head on his shoulder as he kisses the top of my head.

During the month of October we have done so much cute fall activities from a nice hike, a picnic, haunted house, staycation weekend and now our finally pumpkin patch.

"Don't you think that as someone as highly intelligent as you would not ride a motorcycle?" I ask making him turn his head to look down at me.

This has been a constant topic over the last few weeks, obviously I knew he had a motorcycle all those months ago but the haze of how hot he looked on it as worn off.

Now I don't like it.

Everytime we have this conversation he kisses me to distract me but this time I plan on standing my ground, "I have cars" He says making me raise my eyebrows. "That just sit in your garages because by default you go on your motorcycle. The weather is going to get worse Alejandro" I say.

"I could hold out till November" He responds making me stare at him, I let go of his hand and cross my arms against my chest. "Oh really?" He asks as I just stare straight ahead, he sighs as we just stand in silence for the remainder of the wait.

He pays for the pumpkins and I walk ahead of him until we reach his BMW XM SUV, I try to open the door but it's locked. I roll my eyes as I look at him, he smiles as he takes his sweet time and opens the trunk.

He places each pumpkin into the trunk slowly making me roll my eyes again, he closes the trunk and walk the wagon over to the designated area they ask customers to leave it on the parking lot. He puts it with the others and walks over to me, "What is the right answer here?" He asks.

"Of course Teresa. I will put away the motorcycle and only drive vechicles that have four tires and a steering wheel. You are right and I am wrong" He has to physically use his hand to wipe the smile off his face before taking a deep breath.

"Of course Teresa. I will put away the motorcycle and only drive vehicles that have four tires and a steering wheel. You are right and I am wrong" He says making me roll my eyes, "I want you to mean it Alejandro" I say.

"I do mean it. I swear to you I mean it, I promise for the next seasons no motorcycle." He says as I sigh, "I mean forever" I add and he just blinks at me as he opens the door "We will cross that bridge when we get to it" He says.

I get into the car and he closes the door, I put on my seatbelt as he rounds the car and gets into the drivers seat. I move my hair out of my face as he puts on his seatbelt and starts up the car, he starts up the car and I turn on the heat.
