Greed

"You greedy little…" I squealed as I tacked him over the couch and we both fell towards the floor. "You know how much I was dying for that last slice of chocolate cake!" I continued, wrestling him down. "So much so, that I'm willing to take you for it." I said firmly, pinning him down and snatching the cake from his hand.
"No fair" He pouted from underneath me "I really wanted that piece too."
"On top of the three pieces you've had already?" I asked, raising an eyebrow as he grinned sheepishly. "You better watch it, the girls would go nuts if you lost this figure." I mumbled as the cake crumbled softly into my mouth.
"Oh lord." He replied mockingly, his voice turning into a high-pitched screechy girly screech "Heaven forbid losing this figure. Quick, must exercise," He continued, pushing me off him as he pulled himself up quickly "I can't let the boys see me looking like this. Must diet, must slim down, must be beautiful."
My smile fell, and he looked down on me, and instantly, his mockery stopped.
"Hey," he said gently, bending down in front of me "What's wrong?"
I swallowed in a deep breath of air, before meeting his hazel eyes.
"You…" I began, fiddling with my jacket, a little unsure of myself "You don't want me, to be like that, do you?"
He could only look at me, which caused my bottom lip to quiver, my eyes beginning to sting with salty tears. Finally, when I could take it no more, I pushed him off me and ran towards the door.
Only, I'd taken five steps, before he grabbed my arm and pulled be into him, his toned arms enveloping me into a hug. I pounded his chest with my small fists, letting all the anger, frustration, and fear out.
"You know," He said finally, as his hands fiddled with strands of my untamed hair "There are a million little reasons why I love you. And that's one of them, because you never know how beautiful you truly are Cassie." He said, pulling me closer to him, wrapping his arms tightly, protectively, around my waist.
"And my greedy little self" He continued, mumbling into my shoulder, causing vibrations throughout my body "wants to keep you all to himself." He said finally, kissing me gently on the lips.
"Well," I sniffed finally, smiling up at him. "I don't think that will be much of a problem. Because I'm a little greedy when it comes to you too." I finished, kissing him back
"Is that so?" He asked, pushing me backwards towards the wall, until it had my full support, and I was boxed in by his strong arms.
"Yeah Henry Hunter," I said seductively "It is."
