Time to Tell

"Brian, I want to tell my family about us. It's been a couple of weeks now, and I can handle the questions about our quick engagement." Carly said matter of fact like.
"Great when do you want to go?"
"Well, I'd like to have a ring to show off. Do you have much PTO available?" Carly asked hopefully.
"I have a few days that I can use."
"Today is Thursday. We could go shopping for our rings tomorrow for our date and if we don't find one we can go Saturday."
"I don't know that I can handle shopping that long. How about I go to a movie and you shop for a ring?" I stated teasingly trying not to smile.
"How about I punch you in the face for making a stupid comment and you come shopping with me anyway?" Carly wasn't smiling.
"Will you kiss my better after you punch me in the eye?"
"I said I'd punch you in the face, and no, I would punch you in the nose and made sure it was broken. I might be nice enough to bring you some ice, but don't hold your breathe."
I was starting to get worried. My face must have showed it, because when Carly turned around she was smiling cunningly and said, "Gotcha!"
"My dear Carly you are very smooth. However, what makes you think that I wouldn't punch you in the face?"
In one of those damsel in distress, southern accents I hear, "You wouldn't do that to this pretty face now, would ya'?"
"Now that I you mention it Peachie, I would not do such a thing, because I'm a fine southern gentleman. However, I would do this."
Miss Carly found herself with her back on the floor and her arms pinned. This is when I discovered that little Miss Peachie has a weakness. Miss Carly Smith is extremely ticklish. The best part is, I don't have to even touch her. I act like I am going to touch her and she starts giggling like a little school girl.
Among tears, giggling and Carly trying to catch her breathe I hear pleas of mercy. This situation required some contemplation. "Um...this is interesting. You are here begging for mercy. I've not really done anything to warrant these cries of mercy. Carly, after all our time together, I have discovered one of your weaknesses. Um...very interesting.
"I know that I have shown you several of my weaknesses, but discovering this has been an exciting discovery." Pinning her arms over her head again I look into those deep blue eyes and claim, "I'm going to get up now and then, if you wish, I would be happy to help you up. Regardless if you let me help you up or not, it will cost you one kiss. Deal?"
Carly agreed.
It was getting late and I needed to head home. Carly walked me to the door and stood on her tippy toes to give me the kiss that I had required earlier. I could feel her heart beating. I could feel the warmness of her breath and smell of her perfume always took my breathe away. As she moved closer I closed my eyes in the anticipation of a sweet tender kiss. Before I knew what had happened, I was all wet. Without me noticing, Carly had picked up a glass of water and poured it over my head.
Shaking my head and spraying her with water I turned and walked out the door to my car. I left without a word.
