9. The checker game

She was sitting on the same place for what seemed to be hours just thinking. Her husband was in front of her with a goofy smile on his face. It had been a while since she did this and now, she was a little rusty.

"How on earth did you do that?" She asked angrily.

"Well, you know what they say… practice makes perfect." He shrugged and just kept smiling proudly and the board that sat in front of them.

She cocked her head and thought out loud. "Who have you been practicing with anyway?"

"Your mother." He answered looking at her face change from thoughtful to a frown.

"That's cheating! You know that she's a professional player, there's no way I can win!" She snapped angrily.

"Well, I can't say that you didn't cheat either; you've lived with her for almost all of your life!" He said pointing a finger accusingly.

"Okay, let's drop the subject. I don't want to fight with you Tucker." She sighed.

"Of course not Jazz, you know that I'm so gonna beat you at checkers!" He laughed while she punched him playfully.

She stared back at the game board and saw an open space. Her face lit up and then she made her move. Tucker gasped, he didn't see that coming! He was going to loose, she had inherit her mothers game abilities.

"Uh… is this really what you want to do on our first days as a married couple?" He asked nervously trying to make her quit so he didn't loose.

"I don't know, I'm confused." She said smiling.

He raised an eyebrow and looked at her. "Why do you say that?"

"We've been married for two years! We're not on our first days Tucker… you're not gonna get away with this." She threatened playfully.

He wiggled his eyebrows and sighed. "Well, it's just that… you're just as beautiful as our first days as newlyweds and well… you know…" He shrugged and smiled as he figured out that his plan worked.

She stood up and grabbed his hand. "You know? We can finish this game later." She pulled him up the stairs and the game was never finished.
