Chibs stepped out of the shower and took the towel off of the sink. Wrapping it around his waist, he stared at himself in the mirror, looking at the scar on his stomach.

"Did you really take my towel?" Mina asked, breaking his stare.

He chuckled, "What'd ya say if I did?" 

She stepped over the tub wall, getting close to him. "First, you jump in my shower. Then, you f*ck me. And now, you take my towel," she laughed. Mina put her finger on his chest and dragged it down to his bellybutton.

Chibs laughed. "If ya wanted it, ya should've gotten out first," he whispered, leaning down to her ear. She grabbed it and yanked it away from his body. "That's just f*ckin' rude."

Wrapping the already damp towel around herself from the chest down. She pushed past him and got a towel out of the cabinet, handing it to him. Leaning against the sink, she grabbed her toothbrush and started brushing her teeth. 

He stood behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist, and whispered, "I wish we didn't have to do sh*te today and just stay here," into her neck as he kissed her. Mina looked up, making eye contact with him in the mirror. "C'mon, I'll call Jackie, tell him I got sh*te to do. Ya can call into work." He kept kissing her neck. "What d'ya say, love?"

Mina laughed, "I wish I could," around her toothbrush.

"Ya know ya could," he grumbled, moving his hand under her towel up to her breast.

She laughed, leaning forward to spit out the toothpaste. "I can't today."

"Why?"

"It's fitness testing day," she chuckled, brushing her teeth again. 

He sighed, "The f*ck is that?"

Mina leaned forward and spit again. "Make sure the kids are fit."

"That's sh*te. Ya can miss that, darlin'."

"Oh," she chuckled, turning in his arms, "I can?"

Chibs leaned down, kissing her, pushing his tongue in her mouth. He broke the kiss and smiled, "Oh, aye."

She groaned, "I wish I didn't have to go."

He kissed her forehead. "Aye, I know, love."

"I have to get ready," she said, putting her hands on his chest. He gave her one last kiss before letting her go. "Thank you, baby," she chuckled as she started out the bathroom. He reached over and smacked her ass as she walked out. Mina squealed with laughter. "You're an a*shole."

Mina walked into the bedroom to get dressed while Chibs went to the hallway to collect his clothes off the floor. "Aw, sh*te!" he yelled, picking up his shirt. 

She stuck her head out to look at him. "What's wrong?"

"My f*ckin' shirt," he laughed, "Someone ripped it to shreds last night."

Mina blushed and chuckled, "It must've been the cat, then."

"Oh, really? Is that what happened?" He walked over to her and she closed the door in his face. He could hear her laughing on the other side of the door. Pushing the door open, he saw Mina sitting on the bed, waiting for him. The towel was on the bed around her hips. "Sh*te, darlin', you're killin' me."

As they laid in bed, catching their breath, Mina chuckled, "We're having a very productive morning." She leaned up to kiss him, wrapping her arm around him. His phone started to ring in the other room. "Do you need to get that?"
