"Alright, load the main cannon and shoot to thrill."

He pulls off his shirt and starts going through the motions to show off all his muscles at once, his back and arms rippling with muscles.

"Attacking with the cobra."

He smirks.

Staring with her,mouth open, Ele had to blink a couple times to come back to earth,

"You are dangerous to my health..."

She muttered, looking Tyler up and down, her eyes filled with want,

"But damn you are fine to look at!"

He laughs.

"Now you see why most my biggest fans as Poetic Death are women."

He smiles and puts his shirt back on.

"So, how busy do you think you will be today?"

About to protest as Tyler put his shirt on, the words caught in her throat though when he mentioned his,fans being women,

"Well, they're just fans. I'm your,biggest fan."

Ele said stubbornly, then her,expression softened to talk about jer work,

"Not horrifically. I need to buy tickets, write my letter, call my landlord, and send applications but all of that can be interrupted. Why?"

"I was gonna say you could sand the miata while I was at work and when I got back we could finish painting the car then get the car street legal."

He looks over at her smiling.

Ele nodded eagerly, taking her plate to the sink,

"I will definitely do that! I'll bust through what I need to do so I can pay attention to my baby."

He finishes his breakfast and smiles over at her.

"You know, I am up an hour earlier than I need to be. We can run up town right now and get the license plate and tag for it."

"Sure, let me get dressed and then we can go."

Ele changed quickly, choosing a strapless sundress and sandals. Putting her hair in a braid, Ele went back out to Tyler,

"Okay, let's go!"

He gets up and walks out to the truck with her.

"The secretary of states office should be a quick trip."

He says as they walk out. Helping her in he closes her door and walks around to his side hopping in. They take off heading up town, he drives to the office. Seeing only 3 cars there he smiles.

"I will be right back."

He leaves the key in the ignition for her to listen to the radio. Walking in he carries some paperwork, he grabs his number and begins the process of getting his plates and tags soon after he arrives. About 15 minutes later he walks out with his plate and tag. He hops in the truck and smiles.

"That was quick."

He takes off and heads to the insurance agency.

"You should come here, get your name on the policy."

Unashamedly Ele had been rocking out in the truck while she waited for Tyler, but now she turned down the radio and looked at Tyler,

"The policy? You want me on the insurance?"

The whole thing was still new to Ele, being in a relationship and sharing things. Especially this early and this fast."

"Yeah, you are gonna be driving it a lot, get you in on the policy in case something happens."

He parks the truck and hops out walking around to help her out. They walk in, papers in hand. He walks over to an open desk and sits down. He gets working on the paper work, signing the policy first then hands the paper work over to Ele.

"Here you go babe."

He says as he does so.

Walking hand in hand with Tyler into the office, Ele's stomach flipped as Tyler filled out the paperwork then held it out to her. Sliding into Tyler's lap, Ele took the papers and read them over before signing her name.

Exhaling a breath she had been holding, Ele kissed Tyler's cheek,

"That feels like a super official binding life together contract, not just an insurance policy."

He smiles and says.

"Not that serious yet babe."

They finish the paperwork and he takes their insurance card. He pays for the insurance and takes off from the agency once again, helping Ele into the truck and heading home. They get home and wasting no time he sticks the license plate on and the tag.

"It is officially legal."

In the car, Ele thought about it, yes the insurance for the car was just for safety, but she had never shared anything with anyone before. Her name had always stood alone on a policy, lease, credit card statement... It had always been Ele Davis, and no one else.

Now the insurance card represented the now shared policy, Ele's name wasn't alone anymore, she was tied to someone and it scared her. Their relationship was moving so fast and was going so deep that Ele knew if anything were to happen she would be shattered, damaged so completely that she would never be fixed.

At home, Ele watched as Tyler secured the plate to the Miata and she bit her lip. Now it was officially street legal, and even though it was "her" baby, and Tyler's name was on the title, it felt like "their" car.

Biting her lip and crossing her arms across her middle, Ele tried to calm the fluttering in her stomach, there was no reason to run, no reason to be afraid, it was just the learned response to commitment, but this time Ele fought to stay.

He smiles at her and wraps his arms around her stomach from behind looking at the car, holding her hands as well.

"Have fun with the car. I am gonna head to work now."

He kisses her cheek and heads out to the truck taking off to work.

"You're always so abrupt..."

Ele,muttered, shaking her head and getting to work sanding the rest of the car.

It was a few hours later and Ele was sitting in the house at the computer, her letter of resignation printed and signed on the desk, and she had a folder on the computer desktop labeled "Ele's Folder" containing the letter, a draft to her landlord, and various applications to different art galleries.

Tyler works through the day, running the rc drags until closing time. He comes home to find the car completely sanded, he walks into the house.

"Hey honey, I'm home."

He hollers out with a chuckle. He goes to the bedroom, grabbing his workout clothes and prepares some juice for the workout.

"Hey babe!"

Ele called from the computer, typing away. Her phone buzzed next to her and Ele sighed, swiping away the notification.

"I blocked my mom but Kate is saying Mom had to be removed by security. She's demanding to see me."

Shaking her head and getting up, Ele went to Tyler and wrapped her arms around him from behind, resting her cheek on his,back,

"Can't say she's not determined. I've never seen her try so hard at anything before."

"I doubt she will give up."

He says taking a drink from his water bottle.

"You wanna go with me to the gym? I can get you in with my membership."

He asks looking back at her.

"Yeah, I need to get back in the habit."

Nodding, Ele kissed Tyler's back then went to get changed into workout clothes. Coming back out in black workout leggings and a bright blue sports bra, Ele pulled her hair from its braid and into a ponytail.

"This butt doesn't stay this fantastic just because I'm lucky,"

She said, winking at Tyler as she pulled on her running shoes.

"But I'll keep it nice and round just for you."
