Imaging your otp making a sheet fort together.
"Marley! What are you doing?" Ryder calls to his girlfriend who had been sitting on the bottom of the stairs reading when he went up to his room to get her a hoodie. Now she was standing on a chair on the other side of his spacious living room, trying to hook a blanket to the chandelier which was hanging over her. He worries when he notices that the chair is leaning over and off the ground.
"I wanted to make a fort!" She tells him. Laughing, Ryder walks over and throws her over his shoulder. He walks over to the stairs he had just come down and places her gently on the third step up.
"Go get some sheets from the closet, third door on the right… I'll try and hang that blanket for you; you were super close to falling there… Okay?" Ryder tells her sweetly, Marley giggles.
"Okie dokie!" She agrees, kissing his nose, he rubs is against hers in response. He watches as she skips up the stairs and wonders how he got so damn lucky to have her. He walked over to the chair and stands on it. Ryder thinks about it for a moment, and then ties the blanket to the opposite side of the chandelier from where he was standing. Then he ties them to the backs of two chairs. Marley comes down and helps him do the same thing on the other side. They hang a few more sheets, and soon they had a sheet fort.
"Something's missing…" Marley muttered to herself, trying figure it out, and all of a sudden she screams. "PILLOWS!"
"I'll go get them." Ryder tells her.
"If you just throw them down the stairs, I can set them up." Ryder hears her yell to him as he walks up the stairs. He gets the pillows from his bed, and throws them down to her. He then walks over the guest room and gets all the pillows off of that bed too. He walks out of the room but gets disturbed by a pillow being thrown into his face… a white and flowered pillow, which means it was Marley's, and she had the whole fort thing planned.
"Well, Miss. Rose, It seems you have had this fort thing totally planned…"
"Maybe I did, maybe I didn't… you'll never know, Mr. Lynn" Marley tells him, smiling coyly. He wraps his arms around her waist, rubbing their noses together, using the distraction to steal her pillow from her and use it to defend him.
"Hey! Why'd you steal my pillow!?"
"So I can do this without you hitting me again." Ryder tells her, picking her up and throwing her over his shoulder.
"RYDER LYNN! YOU PUT ME DOWN RIGHT THIS INSTANT OR I WILL BE FORCED TO GO TO EXTREME MEASURES!" Marley screams, before clinging to Ryder's waist as he walks down the stairs. He walks to their fort and drops her on the cushions.
"Yeah? What kind of extreme measures?" She just sits there, ignoring him.
"Oh, so you want to play that game?" He says laughing. She once again ignores him. "You know, you won't be able to keep this up that long." As she continues to ignore him, he sits in front of her, pulls her towards him so she sits in between his legs and their noses are touching.
"Come on baby, you know all I want to do is cuddle with you…" Ryder whispers to her, kissing her unresponsive lips and then her nose, rubbing his against hers. "You know you want to…"
"I know." She says smiling. "And you knew you had me at cuddle."
"I know, you can't resist cuddling." Ryder laughs, pulling her closer. She giggles and snuggles closer to Ryder.
"Do you ever think about the future?" Marley asks him after a few moments.
"Yeah, I do." He tells her, without hesitation.
"What do you see? When you think about the future, I mean." Marley asks him, flipping over so she lies on her stomach, against his chest.
"That's easy. You." Ryder tells her, his face showing the love he feels for her.
"Really? What else?"
"Well, I see us, you a huge star and me a pro – football player, living here in Lima, because we can't imagine ourselves anywhere else in the world. We have two, maybe three kids, all with names that have a meaning to us or are us interesting and different as ours are."
"Have I told you I love you today?" She says smiling at his confession.
"I don't think you have, why?"
"Because I really do love you, like a lot." Marley tells him, giggling as she buries her head in his chest.
"Well, that's lucky because I love you too, like a lot." He replies, laughing slightly as he mocks her a little bit.
"Do not mock me Ryder Lynn! It is not a nice thing to do." Marley scolds him.
"I'm sorry." He says pouting. He hugs her tighter and kisses the top of her head. "What do you see in our future?" Marley laughed, because she saw the exact same thing he did, but she wasn't ever going to tell him that, it would give him too much power, so she settled for a cheesy line instead.
"I just know I can't wait to see how our forever turns out."
