He walked quietly into the kitchen and saw her body swaying. He smiled. He loved watching her when she thought no one was around. She had a spoon in her mouth, humming some tune that was playing in her head, swaying her hips to the same tune. She was waiting for something in the microwave. He knew he must have been grinning like a fool. He liked her this way, carefree, moving her hips, singing...she did this when she was cleaning or in a really good mood. He looked around, not seeing any cleaning products or trash bags; "must be a good mood" he smiled to himself.
Slowly he moved behind her, deftly moved his fingers down her a jolt Bella jumped back, clearly on guard again. "-the hell!" she croaked. She turned and faced paul, shock and horror on her face, but it melted away to embarrassment and smacked at paul's large muscled arm, looking straight into his deep brown eyes. "Paul, you jerk!" she moaned, "I didnt even hear you come in" she playfully shoved at him again.
"That was the objective" he laughed, pulling her close and kissing her hard. He loved watching her blush, even more so when he was the cause.
"So, how long were you there?" bella sighed, man those lips of his were evil, she could never be mad for long when he kissed her or even when he gave her that pouty look of his.
"Long enough." He flashed her a smile. "Having a good day? How was class?" he held her close.
-beep, beep- -beep, beep- stated the microwave, interrupting them.
"Good" she started, pulling her food out of the microwave. "Good...just, ya know...math was a bit rough." she continued to ramble on and taking bites of her hot food.
"Rough?"
"Yeah...I seriously considered throwing the computer out of the second story window...it seemed like everything was backwards...just so frustrating!" she muttered, putting down the plate and and wiping her hand on her jeans. "I mean I know going back to finish this degree is a big deal...but damn!" she moaned to herself "there better be a big damn present for finishing! Besides a stupid piece of paper I mean..." she grunted out. It wasnt that she didnt appreciate the hard work she was doing but sometimes she felt it was worthless. It would barely make a dent in her paycheck but it would look better on her resume, if she ever considered leaving her current job or moving up in the company.
"Its just...when am I going to use it?" she muttered.
"Well...when your giving discounts?" paul answered. Bella shot him a look. "I take it I wasnt supposed to answer that?" grinning at her bewildered face. Bella sat there stunned. "Really paul? I mean I know when I'll use it.."she stamped her foot. She was stammering! "You jerk!" she smacked his arm again and felt his laugh erupt from his chest.
"What? I just love watching you babble, you do it so well!" he stepped back, avoiding another slap, not like it felt like anything to him, more like a feather hitting his skin. There was the blush again, he laughed.
