TAG, YOU'RE IT AGAIN!

-

THE SUN RAYS beamed into the bedroom through the window with open, white curtains. The sounds of birds chirping outside of the window seemed like the loudest thing on the planet, but the couple couldn't mind.

Richie pulled away from Arianna and rolled off of the brunette, sighing a happy sigh. "You are so gorgeous." Richie breathed out to the smiling woman and she linked their hands together.

"Have I ever said you're such a cheeseball?" Arianna asked, laying on her side and placing one hand on her husband's face.

"All the time." Richie answered with a smile, looking down at her lips and leaning in to connect them again.

The sound of the alarm ringing didn't phase the two at all, and they both just pulled away from each other.

"Why do we even have that alarm clock if all we're gonna do is wake up twenty minutes before it even goes off?" Richie asked, rubbing his eyes and sitting up.

"Because we just do." Arianna smiled at him and sat up as well.

Richie unknowingly smiled as he gazed at his wife, and he thought she looked even more beautiful without any makeup and when she had first woke up.

"Do we have to get up?" Richie grumpily asked Arianna, falling back onto the bed and shoving his pillow into his face just as an infant's cry erupted in the room next to them.

"Yes, you dummy, now get up." Arianna answered, ripping the pillow from his hands and wacking him with it.

"Bye, darling." Richie smiled at his wife as she climbed out of the shiny, red car.

"Bye! Love you!" Arianna smiled and waved to the two babies sitting in the backseats. She shut the car door, turning around and walking into the building.

Arianna walked into the building, her bright blue eyes immediately landing on the front desk.

Ohp, she thought, and quickly looked down and tried hurrying to the elevator, but was stopped.

"Hey!"

Arianna cringed before slowly turning around with a smile. "Hi, uhm, Molly."

"Hi! Remember, Mrs. Tozier, you have seven appointments today, and Mr. Galeski wants to meet with you, a-and, oh, before you leave -"

"Molly, I know." Arianna responded with a kind smile, giving the blonde-haired girl a squeeze on her shoulder. "My first appointment is at 10:00 am. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten."

"Good. I'll send you your coffee in about twenty minutes." Molly quickly told her.

"Okay, thank you. See you later." Arianna kindly smiled and quickly walked into the elevator, sighing as the elevator doors finally closed.

Arianna had grown up to become a therapist. She loved her job, but, of course, there was just always the girl sitting at the front desk. There was nothing necessarily wrong with the girl at the front desk. She was sweet and worked hard for Arianna, but, sometimes she worked a little too hard.

The elevator stopped on the fourth floor, and the doors opened. She stepped out, starting to walk to her office.

"If you don’t mind, I’m going to ask you some questions, and will take notes about what you say so I can keep it fresh in my memory. Oh, and feel free to interrupt me at any time or steer the conversation to where you need it to go. In your mind, what brings you here today?" Arianna gently asked the woman in front of her.
