One more thing...

[No More Pretending]

Elizabeth blushed a bit, smiling. She was truly happy with him. She loved him so much, it hurt when he was away for longer than a few minutes, and it seemed he cared for her as much as she did for him. He didn't care that she didn't wake up supermodel perfect. He didn't care that she sometimes burned her food. He just loved her for all her imperfections.

 

[Riven]

He let out a relaxed sigh as he slowly shaved his small bit of stubble on his chin, a day off from work, relaxing... He gently felt through his rustled hair with his other hand, flattening and re-positioning any hair that was out of place.

 

[No More Pretending]

She went and got dressed in a nice sundress.

 

[Riven]

He changed in a t-shirt and jeans as he walked downstairs, his hair combed to the side and his chin cleanly shaved. He smiled as he grabbed his cup of water and took another sip.

 

[No More Pretending]

She walked down and smiled, kissing his cheek. She ran his hand over his chin. "So smooth..." She purred.

 

[Riven]

He smiled softly as he gently returned the kiss to her cheek, "Thanks, as much as I enjoy my stubble, I enjoy it being smooth."

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled and traced her finger across his skin with feather-light pressure. "I like your smooth skins, too."

 

[Riven]

He chuckled softly as he reached up and gently held her hand, "Not as much as I enjoy the beautiful woman I see in front of me."

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled softly, leaning her forehead against his. "You always say the sweetest things..."

 

[Riven]

He smiled and gently kissed her lips, "It's the only reason why I'm on this Earth... to keep you happy..."

 

[No More Pretending]

She blushed lightly. "You're like a knight in shining armor," she said with a giggle.

 

[Riven]

He smiled and chuckled softly, "As you are my beautiful princess."

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled. "You're so romantic."

 

[Riven]

He chuckled softly, "It's my pleasure.."

 

[No More Pretending]

She pulled away and went to the kitchen.

 

[Riven]

He smiled and followed her gladly, watching her.

 

[No More Pretending]

She started making sandwiches.

 

[Riven]

He stood beside her and watched her with a smile, ready to assist her whenever she asked.

 

[No More Pretending]

She set the sandwiches aside, one by one. "Would you pack these up?"

 

[Riven]

He smiled and nodded, grabbing some wrapping as he wrapped them gently.

 

[No More Pretending]

She glanced over and smiled.

 

[Riven]

He looked around in a bit of confusion as he chuckled a bit, "And... I put these where?"

 

[No More Pretending]

"I think there's a basket in the hall closet."

 

[Riven]

He nodded as he placed them on the counter, walking over to the hall where the closet was located.

 

[No More Pretending]

She watched him with a small smile.
