Mommy-Kins – Too late.
Alec – What can I do?
Mommy-Kins silenced notifications.
Garrick – Oh, damn.
Ethan – Oh, shit.
Talia – What they said.
Me – You done fucked up, boy.
Daddy-kins – You worry me.

Once my family had left, Harlee was sitting curled into my side, with my arm around her shoulders as I watched whatever she had on the TV.
I was getting into it too.
It was pretty fucking cool.
She reached forward, tagged the remote, paused it, and then went to the kitchen.
While she was gone, I was running through the rotation I would be working when I heard popping in the kitchen.
I smiled as I shook my head.
She came back moments later with a bowl of popcorn and two drinks.
Handing one of the sodas to me, she sat down, took a sip of hers, and set it on the coffee table.
“How much do you love this show?” I asked her as she settled back into her place at my side with her bowl of popcorn.
She tilted her head to the side and said, “Well, I’ve watched the entire show all the way through three or four times.”
I thought about it for a split second and said, “You really love this show?”
She smiled, nodded, then popped a piece of popcorn in her mouth.
Since I was getting into it too, I said, “So, my question is that you won’t watch any more of it until I get back?”
She smiled, then she nodded, “Anyone else asked me that, I’d say no.”
I pressed a kiss to her lips, and then tagged the remote, and pressed play.
And wouldn’t you know it, but it was perfect.
I had my woman in my arms, a bowl of popcorn, a show playing, and it was a Friday night.
Nothing fucking beat it.
It was all because of the woman at my side.

Taking her face in my hands, I pressed a soft kiss against her lips, then I pulled away, “Okay, I gotta go.”
