"Wonderful!" Arabella kissed his cheek and smiled before settling back down against his shoulder. He was comfortable and she almost found herself falling back asleep against him.

Asher smiled down at her, and tugged her closer, then kept working. "I thought you were going to paint?" He asked, raising his eyebrows at her.

She stuck her tongue out lazily and closed her eyes. "I was but you're comfy and now I don't want to get up."

Asher chuckled. "Mm. Fine." he replied, and kissed her forehead lightly.

She smiled at the kiss an opened an eye to look at him. “I like you Asher.”

Asher smiled back at her. "I like you too." He replied, looking down at her.

She giggled softly at his response and tugged on his sleeve. "May I have a kiss?"

Asher smiled, and kissed her gently. "Here." he replied.

Arabella blushed lightly and hid her face in his side. "Thank you Asher."

Asher smiled. "Mm. You're welcome." he replied.

Arabella had to admit, he gave wonderful kisses. It made her heart flutter each time he bent down to give her a kiss. She loved it. Maybe she could fall for this handsome man…

Asher ran a hand through her hair gently, then went back to working on his emails.

Arabella melted against his hand, humming warmly as he continued his work. She peeked out from her hiding place and watched him work.

Asher continued to work, glancing at her every now and again.

She glanced up at his face and blushed lightly when she caught him glancing at her. A soft laugh left her lips. She was still so shy around him, and he was her husband

Asher smiled at her, then went back to his work. He needed to get this email done.

Arabella peeked back at the email when he finally took his eyes off her, her fingers tangling in the fabric of his shirt as she watched his own fingers move.

Asher finished up with it, and closed his laptop, setting it aside. He looked down at her. "Done." He said with a smile.

She beamed up at him, humming happily. "Good. You should come with me to paint."

He smiled. "Alright." He replied softly. "Take me."

Arabella grinned, grabbing his hand and hopping up in excitement. She led him to the room she was given and hummed happily. The ceiling was near complete, a few half finished planets and nebulas covering the black expanse of what she was doing.

Asher smiled, looking up at the ceiling. "Wow." He said softly. "That's going to be absolutely gorgeous." He looked at her.

Arabella was climbing the ladder, a pallet of paint and a handful of brushes in her arms. “It’s coming out wonderful.” She purred, sitting on the top step of the ladder and smiling down at him.

Asher smiled up at her. "Yeah, it is." he replied. "What do you want me to do?" he asked, raising his eyebrows.

Arabella hummed lightly and pointed to a line of painters tape that sectioned off certain places against the wall. “Could you help me paint those spots in white?”
