[Mature era]

"Michael, we're out of milk," I yelled from the kitchen, frowning as I eyed my dry cereal.

"There's some near the oven," he yelled back as I heard him munch some popcorn.

"Why is it even near the oven?!" I mumbled exasperatedly, causing him to yell back, "I heard you!"

I rolled my eyes, not even bothering to reply to my cheeky 46 year-old husband.

He was a handful, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

"Today's our 24th anniversary."

I looked up from my painting to see his adorable smile, peering up at me with deep, loving eyes from behind the easel.

I laughed a bit, setting down my brush, "We haven't done anything in 10 years."

He shrugged playfully, "We're home-y people," his eyes twinkled as he helped me stash my tools.

I smiled back at him, "We always find a way to have fun at home."

He wrapped an arm around me as warmth tingled through my body, his beard tickling my face as he swept me in his arms bridal style.

His infectious joyful laugh had me chuckling as he ran out to the living room, his long black hair hiding one eye.

He put me down soon enough, and I playfully smacked his arm.

"Wait here," he regained a serious face, running to the stereo and pressing play, making a dash to me before the music would begin.

Knowing that we would dance, I held out my hand, which he kissed before clasping tight, wrapping his other arm around my waist securely.

"This is a song I recorded yesterday," he explained as he embraced me, beginning to slow dance with me to the soft beat, "It's just the music, I'll sing it live."

"You never cease to amaze me," I shook my head.

His soft voice began to sing so beautifully.

"I'm in love with a beautiful girl, I'm in love with a beautiful girl," he smiled against my neck, kissing it softly as I hugged him even tighter as we swayed.

He sighed sweetly, "It's almost like dancing, and romancing, in her arms," lifting me up a bit to stand on his feet; to be his height, he went on, "It's just a part of it," his voice grew soft and yet stronger; his alluring eyes made me fall in love over again, "Can't you see that I'm in love?" pecking my lips, he nuzzled me, "I'm in love, I need love," he lulled, "I'm in love..."
