"Sure, love." Audrey smiled before opening Shelby's purse, taking the phone and handing it to her lover. "Oh, wait." She pulled the mobile back. "You're driving, let me do it."

"Okay," Shelby chuckled softly. "You can just text him if you want." She said.

"Don't laugh at this! It's dangerous to text and drive!" Audrey protested, her over-protective side peeking up.

"I wasn't laughing at that, I was laughing at how cute you seemed. You're cute when you're like that, all protective and stuff." Shelby explained with a smile, hoping it wouldn't sound rude.

"Oh..." Audrey felt her cheeks blushing softly as she giggled. "Sorry... I didn't mean to snap."

Shelby placed her free hand over her lover's knee. "Don't be sorry, baby. I didn't take it in a bad way."

"Okay," Audrey said softly as she caressed her lover's hand. "I'm glad, babygirl."

"I love you," Shelby said as they pulled up to a stop light. She turned to place a small kiss on her lover's cheek.

Audrey giggled at the kiss, turning to place one to Shelby's lips. "I love you too, my love." She said softly, taking the phone and texting Chris, telling him they were coming over to change and pick Lizzy up.

Shelby turned her attention to the road just in time for the light to turn green. Once it did, she started to drive home.

"I texted Chris, he just answered with an 'okay'," Audrey said softly.

"Okay," Shelby nodded. "Can you text my dad too? Tell him we'll be there in maybe an hour and ask if we need to pick up anything for dinner. I'm not sure if he has all the ingredients for the chicken parmigiana." She said.

"Sure, babygirl... is he making lunch? Do you want me to ask if he wants us to grab something on our way?"

"Thank you, and yes ask him. I'm sure Lizzy will want to stop by the cookie shop in the mall, and they have a million different things in the food court."

"A cookie shop?" Audrey asked excitedly as she started typing the message.

"Yes," Shelby chuckled softly. She thought it was adorable with how easily excited her lover got. "They have what they call cookie-pies... or is it cookie-pizzas? Anyways, they're cookies that are twelve inches big."

"Twelve inches big?!" the actress gasped. "Can we please buy one?" she looked at Shelby with puppy eyes.

Shelby glanced at her lover for only half a second. She laughed as she nodded. "Sure, babe." She turned onto Chris's street.

"Yay!" Audrey squealed, giggling as she did so. "We don't have those in England!"

"Really?" Shelby asked as she pulled into the driveway. She looked to the house and could see Lizzy standing in front of the window with a large grin on her tiny face.

"Yes!" Audrey smiled, turning her gaze to the front, seeing Lizzy there. "Oh, God." She chuckled. "Lizzy looks so adorable!"

"She really does," Shelby said before turning off the car. She stepped out and went around to open the passenger side. She held out her hand for her lover.

Audrey smiled as she took her lover's hand, placing a small kiss on her lips and bringing the bags with her. "Thank you, love."

"You're welcome, gorgeous," Shelby said as she shut the car door. She led them back up to the house, and as soon as she opened the door, Lizzy attacked them both with hugs around their legs.
