"I'm surprised you're not… It's embarrassing…"

"It's only embarrassing if that's what you were planning to do… Are you?" He couldn't help himself from teasing her more. Mia turned her eyes away from him and snatched her hand away from his while folding her arms over her chest. She then quickened her pace walking off without him. Jayden found himself laughing at her childish tantrum.

"I was just playing… just playing…" He ran after her catching up and wrapping an arm around her shoulders. Mia smiled and then abruptly jumped up giving him a quick kiss on the lips.

"Ha… fool ya…" She laughed and Jayden grabbed her by the waist resting a hand on each of her hips.

"Hmm, it's always the innocent ones…" He said with a low voice pulling her closer into him. Mia reached up wrapping his neck into her embrace. Leaning his head down while she tilted her head up; their lips met in a soft and passionate kiss.

"Oooooh… Mia and Jayden sitting in a tree…" Abruptly the nursery rhyme song began again, interrupting them. To their dismay A.J. and some of his young cousins had tagged along following them.

"Hey boy! Jayden teased as he released Mia and gave chase to the small children.

"Wait 'til I catch you…" He warned as the children dispersed giggling and laughing enjoying the chase.

"Na-na-na-na-na-na… you can't get me… you can't get me…" A.J. sang doing the classic children's tease.

"Mia go 'round the other way." He ordered and soon Mia had joined the chase. The children ran this way and that.

"…Got you…" Jayden said prematurely only to have A.J. slipping right through his fingers as he ducked hitting the ground and rolling out of his grasp.

"Psyche!" A.J. rubbed into his face in it as he dashed behind a tree peeking out to see where his godfather was.

"But I got you…" Mia called out as she grabbed him from behind while he was busy watching Jayden.

"Hold him… Hold him…" Jayden laughed as he caught up to them.

"No… Let me go… let me go…" he protested hysterically laughing as Jayden picked him up and swung him high over his head like an airplane. He then began spinning as fast as he could. A.J. laughed and laughed enjoying spending time with his godfather.
