She giggled and laughed softly, pulling him closer and kissing his cheek back. “You don’t have to.”

He smiled. "Alright." He kept answering emails, smiling at her. He was actually enjoying having her here. It was making everything a lot more fun.

Arabella’s hands moved up to play with his hair, a soft sigh leaving her slightly parted lips. “It’s softer when there is no gel in it.”

He chuckled softly at that. "Well, the gel helps it stay down and not get, you know, everywhere." He replied with a shrug. "I can't come into work with my hair sticking up."

“No, you can’t. But I do like your fluffy hair.” She murmured, smiling at him.

He smiled back at her. "Oh? My fluffy hair?" He chuckled softly. "I wasn't aware it was fluffy, i thought it was soft." He grinned teasingly at her.

She blushed lightly, smiling sheepishly back at him. “It’s very fluffy.” She murmured. “I liked it this morning. But you can’t go to work with fluffy and crazy hair.”

He chuckled softly, and kissed her cheek. "Mm. I see." He replied. He continued typing out emails, chuckling quietly. "No, i certainly can't come to work like that."

Her eyes glittered in amusement. She continued to play with his hair, fixing spots that bugged her and making it look all nice for him. “There, better.”

He smiled. "Alright." He replied, still working. His arms were on either side of her as he reached around her to answer his emails.

She teasingly poked at his arms, smiling brightly. “You’re really fun to be around, by the way.”

He smiled. "Oh. Thanks." He replied, stopping and looking down at her. "I'm guessing you aren't bored yet, then?" He chuckled softly. "Was i incorrect about my assumption that you would be?"

“I’m not bored at all. It’s fun bugging you.” She winked, leaning against him with a soft sigh and a warm smile. “You were way wrong.”

He smiled. "Yes, but you're very distracting. I don't think i can bring you every day, much as i would like to." He chuckled softly, running his hands through her hair.

She beamed, leaning into his touch. “Oh I’m not that distracting. I can be quiet. I just like being with you…” she murmured, kissing his jaw playfully.

He smirked slightly. "Oh, I set up the honeymoon, by the way. You said you wanted a cabin, right?" He asked. "If I didn't remember correctly, i can change it."

She nodded gently and leaned into him. “Yeah… a cabin please. It’d be fun.” She murmured with a soft laugh, blushing lightly. “Honeymoon…”

He smiled. "Alright. A cabin in the mountains. With no plumbing." He joked, laughing. "I'm kidding about the plumbing. There's running water and electricity and stuff."

She made a face and gently pinched his arm. “It better have plumbing or I’ll Beat you up.” She joked, half-serious however. “I need to shower.”

He laughed. "Don't worry, theres running water. A whole river of it." He winked with a joking grin. "But like i said, it does have electricity and water."

She laughed with him, this time playing with his tie and smiling softly. “Good. Thank you for looking into that for me. I’m excited for it. It’s kind of strange to think I’m going on my honeymoon while I’m so young.”

He smiled. "You're welcome." Raising an eyebrow, he laughed softly. "I'm not old either, Arabella!" He replied, chuckling. "I'm only 22!"

Her eyes widened and she giggled. “You are?! I’m 19 nearly 20.” She laughed softly and kissed his cheek. “So no alcohol for me, okay?”

He chuckled. "Why are you surprised? How old did you think i was?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. "I wouldn't dream of giving alcohol to an underage girl." He said with a laugh.

She shrugged. “Older. You look really young though. I thought you had some death defying skin care. I thought you were late twenties.”

He chuckled. "Well, at least you didn't think i was in my thirties. Then I'd be worried." He said with a laughing grin.

She laughed softly and shook her head. “No of course not thirty. You’re obviously not that old.” She giggled again and kissed his cheek. “You’re young.”

He chuckled, rubbing her back again, fingers skimming lightly up and down. "Well." He replied with a smile. "First you said older, now you say younger? Make up your mind!" He teased.

She suck in a surprised breath as his fingers trailed up her back, biting her lip and smiling. “Would you prefer me to call you old man?” She asked with a slight smirk. “Because I can, Asher.”

He laughed softly. "Mm. Nope, my name works just fine." He kissed her forehead lightly, smiling. His fingers kept skimming up and down her back, light as feathers.
