After Practice
Eric thinks Tami is going to be pissed at him after practice ran over; turns out she's the complete opposite.
8:43 pm
Eric pulls into the driveway, pulls the keys out of the ignition and gets out, making sure to lock the car before walking up to the front door, fishing for his keys
'Where the hell are those damn keys' he says to himself confused as he pats his pockets, finally locating the keys. He unlocks the door and steps into his house, Julies staying at a friend's house and Gracie Belle should be asleep by now as it's nearly 9pm.
'Hey babe, practice ran over by a little, okay by an hour… she's probably a little pissed at me' he thinks to himself tryna think up something to say
He spots Tami at the dining table; her back is turned to him
'Hey hon' he smiles walking up behind her placing a kiss on her cheek before putting his keys in the bowl and tossing his cap onto the couch
'sssh, you'll wake up Gracie' Tami giggles
Eric eyes his wife sceptically before noticing the empty wine bottle and the half empty glass in her hand
'Enjoying that wine?' Eric smirks raising an eyebrow
'Mm hum' Tami smiles as she takes another sip 'we should get more of this' she says shaking the empty bottle in front of him
'A'ight' he chuckles lightly 'I thought maybe you might've gone to bed?' He asks trying to steer away the topic of him being late home
Tami gets up and turns to her husband before leaning into him, wrapping her arms around his neck
'I was waiting for you' she smiles 'How was practice?' she asks planting small kisses on his jaw before moving to kiss his neck
'uh, good, it was good' Eric replies slightly distracted
She stops what she's doing; standing on his feet as she leans up and kisses him before looking up into his eyes
'Dance with me' she smiles taking hold of his hands in hers
'What?' Eric laughs
'Dance with me' she coos down his ear taking one of his arms and wrapping it around her waist
'There's no music' Eric says stating a fact
'Ugh Eric' Tami whines like a little school girl earning a chuckle from him
She looks up at him, still standing on his feet and stares into them gorgeous hazel eyes, she rests her hand on his cheek, she hiccups scaring herself sending Eric into a fit of laughter
'Ssssshh' Tami whispers half shocked half giggling placing her hand over his mouth
'Wanna go fool around?' she asks him winking
He looks like a puppy whose owners just called 'walkies', his eyebrows shoot up and he smiles seductively at her
She smiles back kissing him before he grabs her hand and pulls her through the living room, quietly kicking the bedroom door shut behind them
An hour later they both lay tangled together, Tami's head is resting on Eric's chest, the steady beat of his heart lulling her to sleep
'You know what?' Eric asks grinning
'What?' Tami smiles lifting her head of his chest giving him a peck on the lips
'I love you Tami Taylor' Eric smiles lovingly, still to this day wondering how he got so lucky
'I know you do you sugar, I love you too' Tami beams before kissing him then relaxing back on to his chest
