"Ah! You little.." She wiped her cheek off, grabbing his face with her rather sauce-covered hands. "There, made my mess too." Nicole laughed quietly, amused by the messes they had made. "I'm glad you like them, Lindsay."
"Oh.. are we gonna do this now?"
He set his plate down on the table, reaching over with his also sauce-covered hand and dolloping a small bit on her nose.
Lindsay sat back, watching the two as they seemed to start a sauce fight. "Get her, daddy!"
"Oh on his side are ya?" She returned the boop to the nose, only with a bit more sauce. "We don't have to, but if you don't wanna surrender..." She laughed, looking over to the Lindsay then back at the man, waiting for his response.
"Okay.. That's it.." He reached forward, grabbing her plate and quickly setting it on the table before smearing sauce on the area around his mouth, meeting their lips with a thick allotment of sauce to join them. At the same time, he pulled his arms around her, lightly digging his hands into her hips.
"Yeah! Get her! Get the new mommy!" Lindsay rooted on, her mouth half full of the ribs she so ferverously enjoyed.
She wrapped her arms around him, embracing him while they shared their moment. "Fightin' dirty are ya?" She started to laugh, looking up at him. "So not fair." Afterwards, she turned around to her little traitor. "And then you, ya little traitor!" She wrapped one hand around her, pulling her close, being careful that her plate didn't fly off. She used her free hand to try and get a reaction out of tickling the young one.
He watched as she pulled Lindsay closer, turning traitor on the little girl and joining in with Nicole. He'd made sure her plate was set down before doing so, however, to forego any messes.
"Aha! The hammer rebounds!"
Lindsay started screaming out in laughter, trying uselessly to defend herself. "Nnoooo!!!"
"So evil of you, Allen." She continued to tickle the little girl, enjoying the reaction. After the two had their fun, she cleaned up, leaning back on the couch. "Enjoy your fun you two?" She laughed a little, relaxing.
As she relaxed, he did the same next to her, pulling an arm around her shoulder and holding her close to him. Lindsay climbed up on both of their laps, lying across the top and looking up towards the both of them.
"Good. We still got a couple more days before it's over too, and don't you dare splash me like that again, or I'll have to knock ya into the ocean." She laughed slightly, returning her head to resting on his shoulder. "Comfy?"
He chuckled with her, smiling as he tipped his head against hers. "I sure am, hon.. How 'bout you, sweetheart?"
Lindsay nodded, turning and curling up on both of their legs. She reached for Nicole's hand, taking it and pulling it into her grasp, nuzzling her head against it. "Mmmhm..."
