She huffed with amusement. “Well, you're still a little bit wild.”
“Maybe I've lost a few marbles.”
“And gained a few gray hairs.”
I frantically ran my hands through my hair. “Are they showing?!”
She cackled. “I'm just kidding!”
“I guess I should invest in some hair dye.”
“Please, don't. I would love to see you with some wisdom.”
“Hey, I have wisdom. I don't need to show it.”
She giggled. “Maybe sometimes.”
I dug my fingers into her sides, causing her to erupt with giggles. When I finished tickling her, she collapsed on top of me, straddling my lap. I held her hips.
“So, what is going to our place?” she asked. “I see a few bags in here. Are you taking your shelf?”
“Yes, I figured it would be useful. I also have some furniture in storage.”
“Do you need a truck for that?”
I nodded. “I already texted Ryan. He said I could use his truck and he volunteered to help.”
“What do you have stored?”
“I think it's a dresser, another shelf, a coffee table, and a couch.”
“That sounds good to me. Will it all fit?”
I wiggled my eyebrows playfully. “You know I can fit.”
She cackled. “Levon!”
“Clara!”
“Let's not cause your mother to barge in here.” She slid off my lap and stood up, staring at the bags near the bed. “Are all of these going?”
“The one with the red tape is being donated.”
“Okay, I'll take that down to my car.”
“Hey, before you do that,” I stood up and took her hand, pulling her gently toward me. “How long has it been since I've kissed you?”
“Oh, maybe a few hours?”
I smiled as I leaned forward, closing in on her lips. She tasted sweet like candy. I sighed as I kissed her, feeling a jolt of lightning dance between us.
I pulled away slowly. “I could never get tired of kissing you.”
