Only You –Joshua Radin
Aaron sat at his desk working. He had to finish the reports in front of him by morning, or Strauss was bound to have his head. He rubbed at the bridge of his nose and sighed. His concentration was shattered as the sound of laughter floated in through the open window. He stood, with the intent of closing the window so that he could finish, but as he grabbed the handles he looked out and saw Jack squirting Haley with the water gun they had gotten him for his birthday. Haley let out a yell as the water hit her and she fired back, causing Jack to let out a high pitched giggle. Aaron found himself smiling as he leaned out the window watching his family.
Aaron leaned back and the sight of his paper covered desk caught the corner of his eye. He looked over at his work, he needed to finish, Strauss was looking for any way she could to get rid of him and this could do it. He began to walk back to his desk, but the sounds of laughter coming in through the still open window kept his attention. He gave one last glance at his desk before walking past it and out of the room.
He made a stop in the closet and at the sink, before going out the back door and implementing a very successful sneak attack on his son and wife. A huge smile lighting up his face, Jack happily squealed as he shot his dad with freezing cold water. Aaron let out his own yell, as he was bombarded. He ran around Jack and grabbed Haley, who let out a scream as he used her for a human shield, and he entered into war.
When darkness fell and the war was through, Aaron carried a tired Jack up to bed, Haley right behind him. Once Jack was safely tucked in and sleeping soundly Aaron and Haley stood outside his door. Haley wrapped her arms around him and kissed Aaron sweetly.
"Go finish your work." She told him, as she tried to part from him.
Aaron didn't release his hold on her. "Work can wait." He said a smile forming on his face, as he kissed her again. He didn't care if there was no possible way for him to finish his work by the morning, he could always get another job if Strauss managed to fire him, as long as he had Haley and Jack, nothing else mattered.
