His Jacket

"Eugene!" she giggled as he gently kissed her hand from across the table.

"Forgive me, my beautiful Rapunzel," he placed his hand over his heart. "Your hand is so delicate that I needed to show my appreciation."

She pried her hand away and looked up at him through her lashes.

He paid the check and they left.

"That food was good! Thank-you Flynn," she shyly placed a kiss on his cheek and jumped out of his reach, with a 'come-and-get-me' look in her eyes.

He promptly complied and sprinted after her.

The city lights glimmered in the dark sky as Flynn caught his prize in a fit of giggles and amused looks from passersby.

She blew a puff of breath on her hands as the cold air finally caught up to her.

"You cold, Blondie?" he chuckled slightly tucking a strand of short dark hair behind her ear.

"Yes, but I'm fine," she snuggled closer to him as he wrapped his arms around her considerably smaller body.

"Well how about I give you my jacket, hmm?"

She shook her head, but he slipped the sleeves of his stylish blue coat off of his arms and placed it on her shoulders.

"But-but you'll be cold! I can't-" he placed his lips over hers before she could continue.

She pulled away and smiled at him, sliding her arms into the sleeves. Eugene laughed as the sleeves were much longer than her arms.

"Thank-you, Eugene," she placed another kiss on his cheek and leaned her head on his shoulder.

They walked slowly back to her home, talking about whatever came up.

"So I'll see you tomorrow?" she looked at him hopefully with her large green eyes. He almost laughed at how childish but beautiful she was with all of those scattered freckles.

He got up to her level on the front porch and nodded as he kissed her lips softly.

"Eugene?" she whispered quietly as he pulled away.

"Hmm?"

"Thank-you again. I had a great time."

He smiled and kissed her forehead.

"Anytime, Blondie, I love you. Goodnight."

She grinned and opened her door with the key.

"I love you, too. Goodnight."

She closed the door and leaned against it smiling and giggling. She still had his jacket.
