The moment I got in the car I was on the verge of sleep but I pushed through it. Tobais drived us to work and now he is driving us home. I don't find that fair.
When we first moved in together, we set ground rules. We each got to make 5 rules or less.
Long story short, he drives us to work and I drive us home. It has always been that way. It always will.
"Are you okay?"
I crane my neck towards him.
"Yeah, just tired," Once again I smile at his worried side.
His eyes leave the road momentarily to meet my own. He pearly white teeth show as he smiles.
"What was the meeting about," His eyes go back to the road.
I groan. "It was a check-up of all the departments. He wasn't to fond of me when I told him we were slowing down. He told me that by the time of the next meeting, if we haven't made progress then I'm fired."
His eyes widen. The car jolts to a stop on the side of the freeway.
"What! Its not even your fault," He looks me in the eyes for a reaction.
"I know but I represent the department. Just like Tori represents yours. If the department is getting behind they can't fire everyone, so they fire the next best thing. Me."
He sighs and looks out his window. Financially, we are both stable. Even if we were to have a car crash right here and now.
"Its okay, really. I already planned a meeting for this week. All I have to do is tell them to do their jobs. If they don't then I fire them and get them replaced as soon as I can."
Honestly, its not that simple. Its really hard. I know that Im going to need to pull a few all nighters soon. Im just telling him this to soothe him. Such the worrier.
"Okay," he nods and looks at me,"as long as you take it slow."
I smile.
"I promise, Ill try."
He smiles back and leans forward. Our lips, gentle as a feather, touch. The kiss is soft.
He pulls away only to collide foreheads. The gesture is sweet. It give us comfort in this moment of silence.
After a few seconds, he pulls away only to kiss my forehead.
I smile. I always love this. Im not sure what part but, I always look forward to the kisses on my forehead.
Tobias starts the car again as I relax in the seat and daydream about what is to come the next few days.
The lullaby of the car engine and the warmth of Tobais's hand in my own soon take me to a land of dreams.
How was it? I know its short! Im sorry! But it is better than nothing!Comment what you think and I PROMISE i will comment back!-Dawn Fox
