The next day has arrived, Tynie is half awake plotting how to make today for Bobby's relaxation. She kisses his lips briefly before whispering "You keep that sexy body right where it is. I will be back." He smiles nodding, unsure of what his wife's up to. Tynie then slowly leaves their room, praying in quiet that Bobby does not follow her and ruin the first surprise of their day. Getting to the kitchen, she prepares breakfast burritos and coffee for them both, kicking on the vent to dispel the scents a bit.
"I forgot the solo red rose dammit!" Tynie grumbles, readying the tray to bring to Bobby. The vent doesn't get shut off until those preparations are done. Trekking back to their room; Tynie's praying he didn't catch wind of the smell. She soon slinks to his side of the bed, keeping the tray level with her bustling as to not spill the coffees on him. Bobby arises slowly, upon seeing his wife, a smile graces his lips. "Morning Sexy, you first." Tynie requests. He sits up further before shaking his head at that notion.
The tray in both their hands, Bobby takes it just long enough for Tynie to sit beside him. As they settle together, Bobby counters "This looks amazing, beautiful Queens first." Tynie smiles blushing at that, setting the tray between them. Out of nowhere, they go for the burritos simultaneously, with her hoping he really does like it. Nothing said as they ate, Tynie catches groans of enjoyment exiting his voice. Each one finished at the same time, Bobby gets a coffee in Tynie's hands before going for his. "Sexy, that was amazing." He commends. "Anything for my hottie's happiness." She vows.
Their coffees being sipped on, Bobby starts wondering just what is up his lady's sleeves for today. "To modify one of your lines, if I were to answer that the presentation would be ruined." She senses, again reading his mind. Halfway through their coffees, Tynie's personal phone goes off; the others saying in a mass text that they're going to relax at home until the party. Everyone's figuring Sasha shouldn't be the only one relaxing, so they decided to include themselves in that. Replying with a request to be contacted urgently should ANY of them need Tynie or Bobby: They get as much confirmed before both her personal and practice phones are sitting beside each other.
"Apparently the others want more time alone together, they just texted saying that, pretty much. They're coming by for the party when it's scheduled." Tynie informs. Bobby agrees "Sounds good to me." Tynie goes for the entire tray, getting stopped by Bobby, whom refuses "To modify one of your lines, my heart said hell no to you doing that after making us this." She smiles, checking her sugars as he went to the kitchen. Tynie's again in good range on that, her kit re-stocked and packed as she grabs it and their phones. Her shoulder bag loaded with those items since they wouldn't all fit in her pockets, Tynie darts towards the kitchen.
Quietly reading Bobby's mind once more, Tynie plops onto the couch unloading the phones on one side of the coffee table with her diabetic kit on the other. Not being fully stretched out, Tynie leaves space for Bobby to be seated at her hip. The shoulder bag is then tossed under the coffee table.
Bobby appears to her, getting pulled on top of Tynie, which makes him squeal. "You won't hurt me my Hotness." She soothes as the concern about that is in his eyes. Bobby relents silently. In her arms, Bobby hears a chain of contented sighs leave Tynie's lips. The smiles he is given returned, Tynie knocks him back with a kiss. The intensity of that kiss returned, Tynie slowly relents from the affections, Bobby then sitting beside his wife. "What does my Angel want to do today?" Bobby inquires. "The real question is: exactly what does my well-built stud want to be showered in gift-wise?" Tynie queries back. "Actually, instead of listing that, why don't we just go out for a bit and see what happens." Bobby plans. "Good idea, my King." Tynie cheers. He smiles as she loads up her shoulder bag with the diabetic kit and phones.
"We would have to go back and get our guns and papers. Steve's orders from a few days ago still stand I believe." Tynie mentions as they leap together heading in the direction of their gun safe. Reaching their room, each goes for the things they went in to retrieve.
While there, Tynie elects to change into jeans and a t-shirt with tennis shoes, as to be able to clip her holstered gun to one of her hips while pocketing her badge holder with the papers and her licenses. This time it's her mind that is read, as Bobby follows suit on that without a peep. Meeting up in the doorway, a quick once-over shared with huge smiles as the answers to what each saw, they leave hand-in-hand. Approaching the front door, they go for Tynie's personal SUV keys at the same time, only to have Tynie snare them up. She opens the door for him, spinning back halfway to lock up behind them both. On her spin back to being right at his hip, Bobby gets this whispered in his ear "My man is so FINE!" He blushes.
Instead of charioting her, Bobby closes the gap between them as they head arm-in-arm for her vehicle. She escorts him inside on this trip, just for a change of pace, shutting the door prior to treating the way back to her side like a catwalk. "Work it baby! Oooooooh!" Bobby hollers. Her door opened from the inside, Tynie gets in setting her shoulder bag at her feet. "Someone loved what they got to witness." Tynie teased. "Not only did I love what I saw, but I worship the woman who did it!" Bobby declares. "I worship you just as much as you do me, My Ever-Loving Sexy." Tynie brags. A brief-yet-salacious kiss shared, Bobby sets to driving them off initially unaware as to their destination.
"Well I would love to have one of those gun straps you wear over your shoulders, never owned one of those before." Tynie confesses, giving Bobby just the place to set a course for. "I'd love to see you in one of those, honestly." Bobby admits as their ride is en route to Krygan's Guns. "I wonder if Krygan's would sell a Kevlar vest to a civilian." Tynie wonders, giggling. "Is my baby plotting?" Bobby questions. "That's for me to know and you to uncover later." Tynie evades, still giggling.
They arrive at Krygan's, as soon as her SUV is parked, Tynie scores up her shoulder bag shutting her door on the way to escorting Bobby again. Bobby hops out before she can, shutting his door behind him as the ride is remotely locked. Heading in hand-in-hand, Bobby clueless as to what is going through his woman's head. Krygan sees the couple, welcoming "Welcome back guys, what can I do for ya?" Tynie whips out her bar card; the wallet sized one, with her left hand motioning for Krygan to come closer. Practicing her in-court client-counseling voice Krygan learns "Got this yesterday, literally. Need his-and-hers Kevlar vests and those gun straps you wear over your shoulders." Krygan promises "Come with me guys. Oh and Congrats!" Tynie bows. "What did the sexy little sneak just do?" Bobby wonders under his breath as he follows Krygan and Tynie across the shop. "Oh, you'll see." Tynie taunts. Krygan laughs as they get to a private room for what Tynie had asked about.
The door to that area opened by Krygan, Tynie goes for the ladies' Kevlar trying to figure out her size. Finding a few she thought may fit, Tynie starts trying them on, managing the straps masterfully. The first one hurt her bust; the second one was too tight around her hips, the third fitting like a glove. Bobby watches that go down, smiling as her "Surprise" was basically just revealed.
"I will special order his if ya don't have one that fits Krygan." Tynie informs, getting Krygan to nod. She damned near had no choice, as about a half dozen are tried on in her presence, each one being too small on some part of his physique. Seventh time being the charm, the vests are taken off and set aside to allow the couple a means to obtain the gun straps just as they had the Kevlars. This time it takes Tynie more than a half dozen tries to find one that worked with her build, and Bobby got to see her handle that like a professional. "Are you sure you've never handled handguns before?" Bobby poses.
"Certain, I'm just having a bout of unusual luck." Tynie releases. Krygan laughs "Counsel, I mean Tynie, I mean Counsel Tynie don't knock unusual luck, embrace it." Tynie corrects "Krygan, brother ya had it right the second time. Yes, I am a lawyer but only those whose nicknames are Your Honor, an authority calling on the behest of someone I represent, or someone up against me in court is to call me Counsel."
Krygan nods pondering "How do I go about being your client?" Tynie answers "You just did. Donate at least five bucks to a charity, texting me the day, time, location of the charity office and any staffer's names then my retainer and legal fees are covered. I call it the "At Each Other's Hips Project." Krygan is absolutely awestruck at that, asking Bobby "Is she serious?!" Bobby replies "Totally. Oh, and nice name for it too baby!"
Krygan slowly recovers from the shock as he is told by Tynie "I will give you my practice line when we leave." Krygan retorts "Ya got it!" Bobby then goes for the shoulder-gun straps meant for people of his particular physical arrangement, only taking three tries at getting one before finding a perfect fit. Krygan has one last question "Tynie, how do I go about having you as the lawyer for my business, not just my personal?" Tynie resolves "I took your business as my client when I told you how I want my "fees" handled."
Krygan shouts "Bobby, your wife kicks ass man!" Bobby brags "She sure does!" Tynie bows again, blushing. Krygan gathers up the Kevlars and gun straps the couple wished to buy, carrying them to the counter as they leave that room. The couple is out before that door is secured by Krygan, as the three head to the register. Tynie tries to pay for the items only to be stopped by her latest client. "Consider this a congratulations gift for you both." Krygan dictates. Tynie leaps the counter to hug Krygan, when that's over Bobby and he shake hands.
Tynie then slips Krygan her practice line for future legal contact, seeing that stashed into Krygan's wallet. The items bagged up, the couple leaves grinning. Krygan shuts the door behind them as Bobby remotely unlocks Tynie's ride. She hops in, popping his door from the inside as Bobby loads the trunk. That door shut and locked into place, Bobby heads to enter the ride. His door shut behind him, Tynie gets asked "The "At Each Other's Hips Project" Where'd you come up with that name?" "I didn't, you did. Last night when you said we are at each other's hips. I figured that could work for those I will help too." Tynie explains. "Wow." Bobby relays, totally stunned. "Ya got to admit that title is pretty philosophical." Tynie intrudes. The response Tynie gets is one doused in her man's pride "Angel, that is terrific. Your big heart shines again." Tynie bows while seated, smiling as she mutters "My motive exactly."
She then goes in for a deep kiss, only to be met by him. The windows around them steamed up once again, breathlessly they abate the affections. Tynie slinks back into her seat, as the couple beams at all the new events. Before heading away, she leaps up to wipe an eyesight path from the remains of their latest love display for her man. Before Tynie goes back to her seat, Bobby leans into her ear saying "Ooooh my woman is HOT!" Tynie blushes with a heart-melting smile across her lips, well one in Bobby's eyes, the second she settles in.
They drive off, Tynie being completely unaware as to where they're going. As Bobby drives, Tynie calls Steve. "Hey man, I have a couple questions for ya." She lets out. "Shoot." Steve replies "Ok, although I am a lawyer I am not foolish enough to represent myself. Does Bobby being my man still cover me as your client?" Tynie inquires. "Yep." Steve answers. "Good, I take it you know how I want my clients "paying me". I want to call that the "At Each Other's Hips Project" Can ya help me get that all registered up?" Steve concludes "It'd be my honor. I'll text ya when that's done." "Thanks man." Tynie finalizes as they hang up.
Soon after that, Tynie puts her phone back into its holster and then inside the shoulder bag. Bobby heard everything and he wonders "So did ya floor Steve like ya did me and Krygan?" Tynie guesses "Apparently so… never heard him say something I wanted was an honor before." Bobby laughs "I never got that line from him; ya must have made his jaw hit the floor." "Well I DID hear a pop from where he had his phone." Tynie giggles.
The pair soon arrives at a biker clothing store; Tynie instantly knows what's up. Bobby hops out to escort her inside. Once outside the SUV and in a one-arm hug with her man, the ride is again remotely locked. They walk towards the entrance as the shop sign reads G.N.'S Bike Shop, with the owner, G.N. meeting them at the door. Bobby pulls G.N. to the side opposing Tynie and whispers "His-and-hers biker leathers, jet black, chaps, jacket, and boots... the whole nine." G.N. nods leading them to where those items were. "The well-built sneak just stole one of my moves!" Tynie chuckles. Bobby blushes slightly as a chuckle escapes his lips, allowing that to be his reply.
The trio arrives at the section for the apparel G.N. got requested in that soft talk. The couple splits off just long enough to figure out which apparels would fit them best, or at least most appealingly to the other. Tynie's personal phone goes off while she shops, Steve on the other end. "Well, Ms. Proprietor of the "At Each Other's Hips Project" It is my sheer honor to announce everything is in order, or as you said it's all registered up!" Tynie squeals "Holy hell dude that was QUICK!" "I took your call heading into chambers for settling up every lawsuit you two had. The upper rank judges got tired of the ones we had set to see being out so long. I already obeyed your request in terms of those too! One of those high rank judges had everything you needed for setting this project was all done at the same time!" Steve deciphers. "Hell yeah man, Thanks. Later!" Tynie responds and they hang up.
She returns to picking out just what biker-gear would cause Bobby's jaw to slam the ground fastest, finding the perfect fits for that minutes after a few outfits are tried on. Bobby managing similarly, they head for the register arm-in arm afterwards. Tynie goes to pay being stopped by G.N. as she gets word "Terry's my brother, he bragged you up one-side and down the other. Madam Counselor." "Terry's such a flatterer." Tynie mumbles meekly.
G.N. declares "These are my congratulations gifts to the two of you. Terry told me how to acquire you as my lawyer." Tynie scrawls her practice line on a piece of paper and says "He was right. Have a good one." G.N. nods, stuffing that paper into his wallet before walking the couple out.
Bobby didn't say anything, scoring Tynie up close as they head back for her SUV. The ride remotely unlocked by him, a similar pattern to their last stop transpires, except the deep kiss occurs before Tynie gets in. The trunk loaded up, Bobby's door opened for him again by her, he slides in. Tynie sees a glow in his eyes matched by one on his face from the side as he drives them away. "It's official the "At Each Other's Hips Project" Is alive and kicking ass! Steve called me while we were in the biker shop. Dude has some serious connections!" Tynie announces. Bobby's recount "You seriously DO get shit done! When did you manage this?"
"On the way TO the bike shop." Tynie responds. "Nice!" Bobby cheers, driving them home. "Oh and as for Steve having "Serious connections." Someday you will too babe!" Bobby assures, getting Tynie to smile from ear-to-ear.
They arrive home soon after that talk ends; Tynie grabs her shoulder bag while hopping out to get to the trunk before he does. Securing her door, Bobby hops out shutting his door as he catches up. The trunk door opened, they split the purchases and head inside. The SUV again remotely locked, Tynie gets the keys from Bobby. She unlocks the front door even with her arms loaded with new purchases, walking the bags towards their room. Bobby follows her, locking up behind them.
Half the new items lay at the foot of their bed; Tynie lies back slightly to kick off her shoes before unloading her phones and diabetic kit from the shoulder bag. Those items lined up on her end table, Tynie slides back so that her knees aren't bent over the edge of the bed, knowing how her man feels about her laying like that. He again follows her lead, right down to how his phone is set aside.
She snakes right up to Bobby the second he is laid on his back, nuzzling his pec. He gazes upon her, drawing Tynie in as close as he could. "I noticed my man didn't say much when I tried on the Kevlar or the leathers. I must need to work out again." Tynie grumbles. "We were in public; I said nothing as to protect your budding legal practice and professional reputation. I didn't want what came out of my mouth to affect those negatively." Bobby explains.
"Oh God babe I am so sorry. I totally misunderstood your silence." Tynie mumbles as an ashamed tear leaves her eye. "Honey, there's no need for apologies or shame. You didn't know why I did as I did; this is still new to both of us." He translates, kissing her cheeks. She returns to nuzzling his chest, kissing where his heartbeat could be felt. "You just found another way to defend me. Thank you my King." He hears her whisper, relaying back just as softly to her ear "Anytime I can defend you I shall, in any way I can think up. It's my job as your man."
The next thing Tynie hears is Bobby's heart beating as if to say "He means it."
In a show of honor for what she heard, Tynie half bows her head to flitter that part of his chest with kisses. Bobby begins petting her hair, which gets Tynie to stop with the flitter kisses going for a full-blown snuggle, as her head raises from that half-bow. He engulfs her in the tightest hold possible while not impeding her ability to breathe; she boasts "I have the BEST man to EVER exist!" Bobby brags back "As I have the BEST woman to EVER grace this existence!" They hug tightly as he leans in for another kiss, only to get a hellfire hot one planted upon his lips.
During that heated expression of love, Tynie manages to slide atop him one hand freed of the original hug going for his curls, the other for his ass, getting that returned. Their breath becoming scattered, that affection is reluctantly separated from.
Tynie and Bobby are both glowing in the face and eyes, the romance they'd held back on til those moments screaming out exactly what words could not. Tynie's laid atop him still, attempting a new way to share a cuddle with Bobby as she slinks her arms about his broad hulking shoulders, at the same time resting her head on his pecs. "You're right my Divine One, this is still new to me." She whispers. "I'm your… Divine One?" Bobby stutters out shocked, causing her smile to grow.
One of his hands traipses her jawline, Bobby getting sliver of his palm kissed. His hand reaches for her left hand, Tynie getting the back of that kissed. They mutually sigh content at the exchange of their new moves upon each other, as they bask in the mutual adorations.
Tynie then hears "You are my Goddess, as I am your Divine One. In love with you I will remain forever." Tynie whimpers happily "Oh Bobby, that was so romantic. My Divine One, my heart is evermore yours." A simultaneous "Love you for Beyond Eternity" shared, they cuddle up tightly as possible.
Slowly sitting up a bit later, Tynie and Bobby leave an arm around each other. "My Divine One, you relax. You've protected me today and deserve it." Tynie insists, going for the new purchases. Bobby protests "My Goddess will not overburden your arms in that manner, to me that's wrong. Not only that, I DO have muscles to keep up." Tynie gloats, causing him to blush "Sexy ones at that!"
The bags are split, Bobby taking Tynie's to her closet first. Those parcels set down; Tynie follows him taking his half to Bobby's closet. The same as with Tynie's new items, Bobby's bags are set down to be unpacked and put up later. They go back to the bedroom as Bobby wonders "Lunch out or delivered here?"
"Lunch out sounds amazing. After all we DO have something to celebrate." She presumes as he carries her to the bed. Once sat on the edge, Tynie grabs up her phones, diabetic kit, shoulder bag, and has her shoes on just as Bobby scored his phone up. "So my King, what ya in the mood for lunch-wise?" Tynie asks. "Believe it or not, Chinese Buffet." He relays, getting Tynie to fist pump the sky as she elates "It's been forever since I went to one of those!"
Tynie is then escorted to the front door while in Bobby's arms, being set down so he could open the door for them and lock it as they left.
Tynie puts one arm around him, only to get scooped up into Bobby's arms again as they head for his Jeep. That move alerted Tynie at once that the Chinese joint wasn't on a part of town deemed kosher for parking high-end SUV's, she mentally noted to clip her gun to a hip and have the badge holder with those papers pocketed for quick display before leaving his ride when they arrived at the restaurant.
He remotely opens the Jeep, then her door sliding her in before going to the driver's side. She shuts the door behind him, clipping her gun to her left hip with the badge holder in the breast pocket of her t-shirt. Bobby sees all that and wonders "What tipped you off?" Tynie's answer "We've used my personal SUV lately and now we're leaving that here. Makes me wonder if I should find a place to stash my shoulder bag til we leave that place." Tynie then sets both her voicemails to say she's away from her phones and will return the calls as soon as she could, adding that if it was urgent to call Bobby's phone.
Those devices are shut down completely then returned to her shoulder bag. "Smart move, gorgeous. I'll handle stashing this." Bobby says taking her shoulder bag. Apparently there was a lockable compartment in the back of the Jeep, Tynie's shoulder bag is stashed inside it and the door locked afterwards, followed by the trunk. Bobby then heads back to the driver's side, they kiss briefly before he pulls away once inside the Jeep.
They arrive at Kino's Buffet; urgently Tynie sees why Bobby's Jeep was taken instead of her SUV. A slip of her thumb opening the holster release for her firearm's handle tells Bobby she's more than ready for anything. He does exactly as she did, relaying the same message, they hop out at the same time, shutting their doors simultaneously. The keys stashed in Bobby's pocket, Tynie "Bumps" it to remotely lock the Jeep as they head indoors. Kino approaches them, getting far too close for Tynie's comfort. Yelling loud enough to echo across the walls, Tynie certifies "Dude, My husband is RETIRED NYPD and I am a practicing lawyer who is also licensed for concealed carry firearms. EITHER YOU STEP THE FUCK BACK RIGHT NOW OR I WILL TAKE IT AS A DIRECT THREAT ON MY LIFE AND OPEN FIRE!" Bobby draws his gun and demands "BACK THE HOLY HELL AWAY FROM MY WIFE WITH YOUR HANDS IN THE SKY. DO IT NOW!"
An employee who was late for work sees that: racing to pull Kino away from the pair saying in Chinese that Kino was seconds from death. Bobby and Tynie re-holster their guns after the safety was checked to be on each, her other hand hovering over the badge holder with her gun papers in it.
The worker turns to the couple, and Tynie informs showing her bar card and conceal carry permit to him "Dude, you did something pretty fuckin sweet. However, my husband and I have a VERY strict rule about NOT eating in places where we have had to draw our weapons. We will NOT be back. By the way, the name's Tynie Goren, Attorney at Law."
The worker's reply "I totally understand, Kino has GOT to learn not to get so damn close to folks. You can put those papers up now, I've seen them." Tynie complies and they get the hell out of there.
Heading for the Jeep, Tynie hovers her left hand over the butt of her gun, scanning the parking lot for anyone Kino may have sent to mess with them, not closing the holster release until Bobby has her escorted inside the vehicle. Bobby races to the driver's side, leaps in letting the door slam behind him, and pulls them away from there as fast as he could.
"What the fuck was that Kino on pulling the shit he did?!" Tynie howls as they travel. "I don't know baby, I am just sorry that happened." Bobby apologizes with tones of shame in his voice. "YOU don't need to apologize. I won't take one from Kino though.. That was bullshit!" Tynie refutes. "Yes my Honey." Bobby answers, the remotest sense of remorse eviscerated from his voice. "I say we do the Chinese Buffet thing after we find one in a better area, that way we are less likely to have to point our guns in someone's face." Tynie plans, trying to not let Kino ruin their day with his garbage. Bobby confirms "Sounds like a plan."
Tynie checks the side view mirror, learning basically every car that was in Kino's parking lot had tailed them out of there. "Apparently Kino just lost a shit ton of business, every ride that parked around us there is behind us now." Tynie educates. Bobby checks his side view mirror, her line is corroborated.
One of the other patrons pulls alongside them motioning for Bobby to roll down his window. Once that's done the couple hears "Follow me! I know a better Chinese buffet joint!" Tynie yells back pointing at them "DONE!" The procession of cars flows behind the one who told Bobby and Tynie that, Tynie swears "That other Chinese Buffet Joint is about to be SLAMMED." Fifteen minutes later, the group of cars arrives at Tao's Buffet, Tynie immediately feels it's OK to keep the holster release to her gun closed. Every person hopping out of their vehicles, a flood of closing doors echoes in the day, as Tao's became slammed indeed. The others find seats and begin chatting whilst eating, going about their day.
Tao approached Tynie at a distance that was more comfortable than Kino, earning him a respect bow from her, in perfect martial arts form. Tao returns it and asks "Karate student?" Tynie's answer "Former. Haven't found a school for my style of karate in N.Y. yet, much less cleared that with my husband here. I took Okinawan karate in IL." Tao confesses "I don't teach that style, hardly anyone in this part of New York does. I also doubt your man would be alright with you driving literally across the state for lessons."
Tynie assures "Doubt that too, and since I am now a practicing attorney, I wouldn't have the time." Tao stutters "You're a lawyer?" Tynie whips out her bar card and nods. Tao scans it wondering "What's your retainer scale like?" Tynie's retort "Tao, sweetie. You just donate like five bucks to a charity and text me with the date, time, charity office location and any staffer names ya get. Once I get that text you're paid, in full." Bobby adds "Before ya ask.. She's serious!" Tao bows to her again saying "Thank you Tynie." Tynie bows back declaring "If I can get a number where you can be texted, I will send you my practice line later today." Tao escorts the pair to the best table in the house promising "I'll bring you a business card. Thank you again Tynie."
The two are alone now and Bobby objects "I would not have stopped you from going back to karate. Driving across the state to do that is another story." Tynie affirms "I know that, the way it came out was not how I intended. I am aware we are equals, just that I felt it best to say that we discuss things as one before making any sort of plans." Bobby nods; they stop that conversation with a kiss.
Tao slides the business card on their table silently, and then literally bows away as to not disrupt them. The couple splits for air; Tynie sees the card with a note attached. "Tynie, you and your husband's buffets are on the house, a gratitude gift from one martial artist to another. Just because you aren't currently in lessons does not mean you aren't in the martial arts, at least not to me-Tao" Tynie shows her man, who reads it and smiles as she pockets the business card. They head for the buffet after that, Bobby seeing firsthand just how much she plans to put away. Tao is waiting for them by their table, as they sit down asks about drinks "Diet soda for me." Tynie answers as Bobby holds up two fingers, Tao nods and gets those right away wearing a huge grin.
The two set to eating as their drinks arrive, Tynie stops dead to arise and bow again to Tao. That returned, Tao leaves their table for the time being. "He's a martial arts elder, it's against our inter-artistic creed to not bow to those more advanced than us." Tynie explains before Bobby can ask. Tao overheard that, corroborates "She speaks the truth." Bobby nods, not saying anything against it.
The other patrons are totally lost as they saw what Tynie did, until Tao himself announces across a public address system "Respect is rare these days. The beautiful young lady who kept bowing to me just did something I thought I'd never see again. I am advanced in the martial arts, but also retired from training. Our styles are different; her bows have showed me that the separations between our schools for martial arts aren't as deep as I originally thought." The entire joint erupts in applause after that message ended, Tynie is in tears. She stands again, waving to the others as she claimed "I don't know the acoustics in this place too well, hopefully Tao hears this: It was my honor to honor you like that."
Tao's turn to cry happily, he does while approaching her as he whispers "You just made an older man very happy, young one." They hug and again the place is rocked with cheers, Bobby being the loudest. Tao splits the hug out of respect for the fact this "young one's" husband is close by, Tynie whispers to him "It's an honor being your lawyer, dear beautiful elder." Tao blushes as he departs, the cheers dying down shortly after as everyone went back to eating.
Right after Tao is out of sight, a child approaches Tynie letting her know "Tao's my grandfather, you shall be bragged upon for years to come. Deservedly so."
Tynie's retort "Younger one, please listen: I know your grandfather means well by bragging upon me as you say. That's not why I did as you saw though, you DO know my real reasons right?" The child nods smiling as he claims "I sure do Ms. Tynie, I just hope that I am as amazing at that as you are when I get older." Tynie hugs the child as she says "Younger One.. I know you're trying to honor me with the title you used. I prefer Tynie though. As for you doing as you saw me manage when you get older: Take notes from your grandfather and keep them with you. That'll assure you do as you hope." The child smiles nodding as he releases the hug, responding "Will do."
Bobby and Tynie go for more, he cannot stop proudly smiling. The couple returns to their table to find one more gift on it. They sit down, moving their plates as to not get food on the new item wrapped before them. On top of the box is a card that reads "In the name of honor shown through the ages, respect for all time-Tao" "Oh my God, Tao saw me with his grandkid." Tynie trails off as she goes to open the item. In the box was a framed Martial Arts blackbelt, knotted as if being worn with another message "Young One, you have shown me things that I thought were deceased in society. Your love for humanity seeped through when I was around you. I'm honored to have you in my life. My grandson spoke truth on my name: You shall be bragged upon for years. He will as you say "take notes" from me on how to continue the love he saw in you. Thank you for proving that good people still exist. That makes you a blackbelt to my heart, hence the one I am now giving you-Tao"
The "Younger One" approaches Bobby, and upon seeing Tynie cry, wonders "Sir, is she OK?" Bobby nods, replying "Please Tell Tao for us that this is sacred and shall be cherished. Oh and call me Bobby." The child nods replying as he walked away backwards to show the pair respect "Enjoy your buffet guys, I will get the message to my grandpa right away Bobby."
Tynie rolls up the sleeve that covered her cross tattoo, quickly kissing it once in celebration. They eat again, the child insists on keeping them in drinks til they leave with Tao helping him. "This is our permanent Chinese Buffet as far as I am concerned." Tynie informs. "Totally!" Bobby concludes. Tynie spotting Tao one more time bows to him then stating proudly "Our honors have just begun." Tao bows in return, agreeing "Thank you Young One. You're right."
Bobby and Tao shake hands since Tynie's gift was in Bobby's arms. That all done, the couple walks out hip-to-hip heading back for Bobby's Jeep. Tynie "Bumps" the pocket that held Bobby's keys, remotely unlocking the ride.
Tynie's escorted inside, handed her latest gift, which she holds nearly as tight as Bobby tends to get. Once her door is closed, Bobby goes to the driver's side shutting the door behind him. As they pull away Tynie plots "This should get hung by my full sized law license. In martial arts this is an OBSCENELY high honor, which is why I bawled when I got it." Bobby boasts "Great place for it Honey, I will do that later. You should be honored, it isn't every day that kind of respect is shown to people."
Surprisingly enough, Bobby's phone didn't go off once, which the couple figured was a break for them. Upon arriving home, Tynie gets out while trying to keep a firm grip on the new honor she got as a gift. Her door shut behind her, Bobby hops out and as his door closes, then goes to get her shoulder bag from the compartment in the back. She awaits him by her door, not being held up long before the entire Jeep is locked. Bobby walks up, temporarily taking her honor gift just long enough for Tynie to slide the shoulder bag onto her left side. Tynie retakes her honor gift, cradling it in her arms as Bobby holds her with one arm heading for their home.
The front door opened before Tynie can try to "Bump" his pocket again, she heads straight for the couch. Setting her honor gift beside her, the shoulder bag is unloaded onto the coffee table, both her phones are turned back on, Tynie then goes to check her sugars. Again she's in decent range, repacking that kit, she places it with her badge holder and gun inside the shoulder bag prior to moving that to the floor.
Bobby walks up going for her honor gift saying "You kick back love. I'll be right back." Tynie waits til the box with that sacred item is in his firm grasp before kicking off her shoes and stretching out. Tynie's personal phone goes off and it's Steve saying in a text that Kino's got shut down for running without a license and several counts of intimidating female guests. An order to add her to that list with the enhancement that she and Bobby BOTH had to draw their concealed weapons and have an employee pull Kino away given Steve complies immediately.
Tynie then goes for her practice phone, texting Tao. "Dear Beautiful Elder, it's Tynie. We met earlier, and I am your lawyer as of today. Here's how you reach me. In Honor across the ages for all Time- Young One."
Tao replies saying the same thing about honors and that he will keep her number for future contact before that phone is set with her personal phone inside the shoulder bag.
Bobby comes back, holding a hand out for her, Tynie then being lead to her office. A glance at where her law license and bar exam results were hung reveals he totally re-did the arrangement to accent the new gift. Tynie is astonished at that, only able to mutter out soft thank you's to him. Bobby scoops her up into his arms, planting the redefinition of a hot kiss on Tynie's lips, figuring that would cause a mutual show of passion better suited to speak than words.
They separate from that, only because a lack of oxygen mandated it before heading out of that room. Tynie walks backwards, refusing to turn her back on the blackbelt hanging up on her wall until she's on the other side of the doorway, getting Bobby to do the same. They make it back to the couch, Tynie waiting for her man to be seated prior to getting comfortable, which happened moments later. "Babe, we totally tag teamed on an asshole!" Tynie boasts. "How?" Bobby wonders. "Steve texted, apparently Kino's didn't have a license and I was the LAST bitch Kino pulled that shit on. Especially once Steve found out we had to draw our guns and a worker had to peel Kino away from me."
Bobby looks as if someone ripped his heart from his chest hearing what Tynie called herself, and then explains "Honey, you are beyond gorgeous inside and out, the term you used about my woman doesn't fit that at all. In my eyes that word to depict yourself is the ultimate self-bash, you know what your doing that causes my heart. Other than that we are one on many fronts, for that I am honored." Tynie nods, awestruck yet happy as the woman she is: One madly in love with Bobby.
He kicks off his shoes, only to get his feet rubbed by Tynie the minute she gets a hold of them. "The way my sexy man has run about these past two days, this is needed." Tynie decrees. Bobby moans in relaxation as that massage transpires. His feet set upon her lap so that he's the one fully stretched out causes Bobby to clear his throat. Tynie lifts his legs from her lap, switching about so her legs are on his before her feet are given a massage. Her returning the relaxed moans, Bobby continues before she lowers her legs from his lap. Bobby then pulls her gently towards him by guiding her left shoulder near his hip, getting Tynie to melt across his lap. "This cannot be comfortable for my King, allow me to move and make room for you to stretch out." Tynie overrules.
"Don't you worry, I'm fine." Bobby defines. "You sure as hell are!" Tynie vows. Bobby blushes at that, noting the elation in his wife's eyes silently. Reaching beside him, Bobby pulls out Tynie's chocolates, slipping them into her mouth one at a time. Tynie changes up that move, basically making it to where they split the chocolates while kissing. Several repeats of this happen before Bobby slurs "Oooh baby's got new moves." She nods smiling at that, nothing else uttered about it. Tynie then goes for the chocolates doing for him as she obtained, only to get her new moves used by the man her heart swoons over.
The box emptied at a later point Tynie goes to throw it away, arising from his lap slowly. Scoring up her shoulder bag, Tynie rids of that box with a switch to her hips. Bobby's eyes trail her every move, him joining her in moments. Turning around so their eyes meet, Tynie gives her best "Come hither sexy" look. Bobby grabs her up and races for their room. Tynie is wrapped about in Bobby's powerful arms during that trek, secretly aware of what is on his mind.
Making it back to their room Tynie shuts the door with her foot; Bobby's phone is laid abruptly on his end table the same second that her shoulder bag is slid to her side of the bed. They both frantically get out of their clothes, each one aching for more than just cuddles and kisses. A mutual approach with kisses and pawings across each other's bodies, the pair heads for the bed together. Tynie lies on her back, getting Bobby to pounce atop her and kiss from her lips to just above her hipline.
Her hands entangled in his curls, moans of anticipation and sheer lust exit her mouth, serving as pleas for his lovemaking. Looking into Tynie's eyes from her navel, Bobby sees a fiery yearning and a nearing loss of her control. Releasing his curls, Tynie awaits the opportunity to wrap her arms around him while getting her world rocked to its core. The next thing Tynie knows, Bobby has full-force rammed himself inside her, she is about to be given ferocious sex. Tynie's arms and legs wrap around him as tightly as she could, Bobby takes her with an animal-in-heat fervor. Neither can speak, only guttural howls of erotic need escape their lips. Bobby then flips onto his back, with her winding up on top, not missing a beat in his thrusts that whole time.
Tynie then grinds against him as hard as she can, trying to give Bobby as wild as she got. Bobby paws at her back while that was done to him, the manhood tearing her up on the inside swelling within Tynie.
She nears a hellaciously wild climax, grabbing Bobby's hips to shove his damn near concrete hard erection deeper into her person. His name bellowed as loud as she could manage, that edge breached for her about him. Bobby soon after reaches an explosion of his own, yelling her name as loudly as he could when it strikes. Tynie lands atop him, that mutual release is ridden out, the two doing so while cuddling and kissing. Softly she boasts to him at the same time trying to catch her breath "Damn…." Bobby pets her hair replying just as lacking in breaths "Hell yeah.."
Once they finally get their breath back, Tynie rolls over to lie at his hip. Bobby has one arm follow her to his hip as to keep her held closely, getting Tynie to snuggle him by lying on her right side and adjusting her arm to be draped over his. She rests her head on his pecs, saying in a low-yet-happy tone "Thank you for everything. Especially THAT my Divine One!" "You are more than welcome my Goddess.." He tells her softly. They cuddle up afterwards each one contently spent and relaxing for a time. As they recuperated slowly, each one flittered kisses upon the other's lips as the main way to be grateful for what they just shared. The couple arises from that at the same time a while later, smiles glowingly etched across their faces.
Their cuddle is broken from, for that time being as Tynie slowly reaches for her shoulder bag, unloading most of its contents onto her end table. Their phones stay silent even after Tynie got new clients that day. She checks her sugars before returning to his embrace; again she's alright on that, the kit re-set to be taken should they travel again. Bobby has the pillows arranged so they can halfway sit up as he holds her again, Tynie slides excitedly into his waiting arms. More time burns slowly as the couple is entangled in each other's arms, gladly going unattended to by the pair. "My Queen, I love and worship you." Bobby swears.
"My King, I worship and love you as well." She vows.
Some time after, Tynie heads for the shower telling him "Relax my Divine One. I will be back." Bobby leans against the pillows to await her, still smiling as big as earlier. Hearing the water run, he then hops off the bed taking the shot to put away her half of everything they'd bought. Bobby's back where she last saw him just as Tynie exits the bathroom wrapped in a towel. Tynie heads to get dressed again, Bobby goes to get cleaned up, unbeknownst to Tynie having one more thing planned for them. After she's changed, Tynie races to put away what she got him. Lying just as he did when she came back into the room, Bobby appears to her. Providing a brief kiss to Tynie, Bobby requests "Relax my Goddess, I will be back." Tynie complies with a smile. Returning to his wife's side, Bobby poses "Baby in the mood for a party?" Leaping off the bed to meet him Tynie squeals "YES!"
Gathering everything off their end tables, Tynie and Bobby trek to the living room. A gap appears between them as Bobby texts Steve "Ok. NOW!" Catching up to her, Bobby slips his hands over Tynie's eyes guiding her the rest of the way to the couch. The second they're seated, Bobby moves his hands from her eyes, everyone else who mattered yells "LOVE YOU TYNIE!" Everything they scored up from their bedroom end tables is then laid out on the coffee table.
A fully decked out party scene before her, each person there finds seats as Steve announces "Our little shit, I mean Tynie, has made history in the past two days. First she passes the N.Y. State bar exam with the third highest score in state history on the FIRST shot. Secondly she creates a social project that is now backed by the N.Y. State Bar, the "At Each Other's Hips Project" Which is based on how she handles clients whom, by her own words, "Are too rich for legal aid, yet too broke to afford a lawyer." We love ya kid!" Cheers bounce off her living room walls as what Steve told Tynie strikes her ears and heart simultaneously.
The second the applause dies down, Tynie requires "Yo Steve run that last part by me again." Steve attaches "That was the OTHER thing I managed today. I bumped into the President of the N.Y. State Bar on my way out of court. Once he heard what you wanted for the project, he signed off on a special affidavit sponsoring it on the behalf of every lawyer in this state!" Tynie launches off the couch celebrating, as everyone else there follows suit. Bobby hopped off the couch to be next to her, again being the loudest person cheering. Sasha and TreMarkis hug Tynie in congratulations before she's taken to the guestroom with an entertainment center. The others pop bottles of champagne, drinks distributed amongst everyone there.
Snacks and libations shared for a while, everyone who had to drive home only having one, the party went on for a time.
TreMarkis texted his sister saying Sasha felt bad for not being down there with them. "Nonsense dude, that baby comes FIRST! She and I will find other ways to celebrate later.. Show her this text." Tynie refutes. Their phone set down as if in sync with each other after that, nobody else's would go off prior to folk's leaving. A couple hours later, TreMarkis is whisking Sasha to his car headed for home, Tynie walking them to the door saying for she and Bobby "We love you. Be safe. TreMarkis. You know what to do." That vehicle driving off, the other couples follow them in succession: Steve and Treena, then Charlie and Nessa, TreMarion and Lysa, lastly Rose and Bruno. Same pattern as was seen with TreMarkis, every ride except those belonging to Tynie and Bobby is gone from their driveway a few hours later.
Once they're alone, Tynie and Bobby handle cleaning up.
"Can today kick anymore ass?" Tynie wonders. Bobby eludes "Come with me." Curious, she follows him winding up in their garage. Before her are Two Harleys, both hers, One with TGAAL2 on the plates and the other having MYGODDYS. Tynie's jaw slams down so fast it actually pops from the shock, Bobby gently setting it back with one finger under her chin. "I got to get my man a second Harley then. We are equals, at each other's hips and all." She stammers out.
"Another day my Goddess." Bobby answers prior to kissing her again. Her arms around his shoulders in that duration, Bobby scoops her legs up from under her as to threshold chariot her back to the couch.
They sit and relax for a bit, their souls bathing in the positives of the day for a period. Not once in that day did the area of her right arm supposed to be braced bother her in the least, which comes as a huge comfort to them both. Later, Tynie gathers her phones and after a final check of her sugars, again she's fine on that. The kit is set back for use later, then slid inside her shoulder bag. That grabbed up, Tynie arises offering Bobby a hand. Instead of taking it to be helped off the couch, he kisses the back and gets up beside her. Walking together arm-in-arm they head back to their room, her shoulder bag is again unloaded onto her end table as they aim for the bed.
Both her phones set to charge and her diabetic kit, slid behind them, Tynie decides to slide in awaiting her man prior to covering up. Bobby catches a glimpse his wife's firearm and badge holder on her other outfit, placing them on her dresser for the night. The next thing Tynie sees is Bobby coming to bed. The minute he lies down, she pulls the covers over the two, they join up in a cuddle and last deep kiss for the day before sleeping.
"At Each Other's Hips" now means more than a simple means to depict equality for them, it now serves a more socially encompassing in heaven who watch above them daily are celebrating every positivity to hit the pair that day.
Happiness abounded the couple, those that matter, new friends, and the "At Each Other's Hips Project" will stand to better lives. Just as Tynie intended…
