|26 - UNO Out!|

|Harper|

I blinked my eyes open and stretched my arms out. I didn't know what time it was, but I knew it was late as hell. Shuffling in the room had woken me up out of a rather peaceful, post-sex slumber. Ethan was sitting at the end of the bed putting a jacket on.

"Baby?" I rasped, getting his attention, "What's going on?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you."

I propped myself up onto my elbows, "Where are you going?"

He sighed, "Donny just called me over for some reason. You know how he is."

"I definitely know," Donny was always up doing shit at the weirdest hours. If it wasn't Ethan he'd called, it probably would've been me or Lys.

Ethan walked around to the head of the bed and kissed my forehead, "I'll be back in a little bit. Go back to sleep, baby."

"Be safe, and don't get into any trouble," I said sternly.

He opened the door and turned to face me, "I'll be safe, and I won't let Donny talk me into anything."

"Okay," I said and snuggled back into the covers.

"You. Are. Trash!" I laughed loudly as I beat Ethan at UNO for the fourth time in a row. It was tragic, really.

"No, you're just cheating!" he retorted.

"Cheating? How can I cheat in UNO when you're the one dealing every time?!"

He scoffed and started shuffling the cards again, "I want another rematch. I'm gonna beat you at this!"

"Looks like we're gonna be here all day," I put my hand up to my mouth to pretend yawn.

"Keep that in mind when I'm winning," he smirked and started passing out our cards.

I picked up my seven cards and sorted through them, "Hmph! Good luck with that, buddy. Here, I'll even let you go first."

Ethan looked at me roguishly and flipped the starting card down from the deck. It was blue so he put a blue card from his hand down. We kept putting cards down and drawing when we didn't have the right color.

It all came down to the last four cards. We each had two. I had one yellow card and a Wildcard. The color was already yellow and I could've just put my matching one down and won with the Wildcard, but I decided to fuck around a bit. I mean why not? I'd already won every game.

I put my Wildcard down, "UNO. The color is... green."

Ethan smirked and put his own Wildcard out, "UNO. The color is..."

I swear if he says it...

"Yellow."

"Oh my god," I dragged out and put my card down, "UNO out!"

His eyebrows shot up and his jaw nearly dropped to the floor while I sat there dying of laughter. I saw his expression go from shocked to mischievous. "That's it," He moved around the table and started chasing me through the apartment.
