"Don't. I don't want you to burn down the apartment."

She replied by sticking her tongue out at him.

Tommy took that opportunity to capture her lips with his in a slow and sensual kiss. Jude jumped up and wrapped her legs around his waist and he carried her into their bedroom.

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.

And just like that, all activities were interrupted. Tommy ran into the kitchen and opened up a window to let the smoke drift out, while Jude got the pan and threw the charcoaled pancakes in the trash.

"Well at least we know the fire alarms work," Jude stated, which earned her a glare from Tommy.

"Absolutely no more cooking for you, babe." he simply replied. "So, Christmas is in what? 3 days? You have no tree?"

"Hon, I specifically remember moving into the apartment only 4 days ago. Do you THINK I had enough time to go get a tree.?"

"Good point. Go get dressed. We're going to get a tree." He replied.

She walked down the hall still having her head to where she can see Tommy and walked straight into the doorframe.

"Ouch. Damn it." she yelled.

Tommy just stood there laughing, "Babe, are you okay?" he managed to get out between laughter.

"Do I look like I'm okay?" she yelled.

Tommy walked over to where she was standing and picked her up bridal style. "Where does it hurt?" he asked.

"Are you seriously asking me that or quoting my song?" she replied. "Because if you are asking that, it hurts right here." she said while pointing between her eyes and on her nose.

Tommy gently kissed the places she pointed to and then kissed her pouting lips.

"Feel better?" he asked, "or am I gonna have to take you to the E.R?"

"Har har." she replied.

He set her down on the floor and smacked her butt before saying, "Come on. Get dressed and we'll get something to eat before we get the tree."

"Okay."

She comes out of the bedroom fully clothed 15 minutes later.

"Babe, I didn't think it would take you that long to get dressed."

"Well at least I don't spend 1 hour gelling my hair Mr. 1500 Bottles of Mangella Max Hold."

"For the 15th time, it was being discontinued."

"Uh huh whatever you say Quincy."
