She gasped, “You don’t care, do you?!  You don’t want children?  Why, Spencer?  Why wouldn’t you want children?  I mean, they’re so precious!  There is nothing like being a mother; I still remember the day we brought you home and your brother…”

I rolled my eyes as she droned on and on, “Yeah, whatever mom.  I’ve stopped by, may I leave now?”

My dad chuckled and shook his head, “Sure, but you really should show your mom a bit more respect, Spence.”

”Yup… later.”  I didn’t wait for a reply, choosing to quickly leave the room and then the house.  I walked to the bottom of the steps and by the time I got there, my car was already idling in front of me.  I smiled and made my way around the car where the man from earlier was holding my door open.  I smiled at him, “Did you get your tip already?”

He smiled, “Yes, thank you.”

I smiled, “Make sure you take that cute boyfriend of yours out for a nice meal.”

He glanced around, making sure no one was listening in, “We won’t be going out tonight.  I have plans that require us to stay in.  All I’ll say is that there will be whip cream and handcuffs involved.” 

He waggled his eyebrows and I couldn’t help but laugh, “Sounds like the ideal way to celebrate an anniversary.”

He smiled, “I hope so, so you have a good day, Spence.”

I got into the car and buckled my seat belt, “I hope you have a good day and a great night, Trent.”

”Thanks, I will.”  He shut the door and stepped back, allowing me to drive away.

I rolled my windows and turned my radio up real loud as I took the long, gas wasting way home.  I eventually made it home and headed inside.  I walked up to my room to see Riley passed out in my bed, lying on her stomach and only wearing boy shorts.  I whispered, “Riley?”

”Hmm?”

I chuckled and walked over to what she had deemed ‘her side’ of my bed, “Sleep well?”

”Mhm, mo sweep now.”  I chuckled and began to lightly scratch her back.  She moaned lightly, “Tease.”
