Two stubborn peas in a pod

A quick glimpse then I look away,
A quick glimpse then she looks away,

whoever gets up first from bed and turns off that ear-busting alarm,
that is inconveniently far from the bed,
has to make breakfast.

tempting as it is to eliminate that deafening sound...
I refuse to lose again,

Besides...

fluffy scrambled eggs with slices of crisp bacon,
with much room on the plate for mushrooms,
sat next to a pair of golden glazed sausages,
all of this ... brought to me in bed,
sounds too delightful to pass up,

with drool equivalent to the slobber of a Saint Bernard,
about to slowly descending on to my pillow to the thought of such a heavenly breakfast...
I get a sudden kick in the ass from my other half,
who at this moment is my mortal enemy,

Oh and by the way...
the kick was painful,
my eyes widened and dropped some tears as a way of saying ; "Ouch!"
I hear her menacing giggles,
"Well played" I murmur

She is good at the game,
after all she is 10 time Undefeated Champ,
but this time I will be the victor,
time for plan ; Breakfast in bed,

Now for some context,
two days prior to this event, I bought lets say a "Practical joke",
this "Practical joke" is risky as it could end up with her being annoyed at me for a couple days,
Trust me, even just 24 hours of this feels like torture.

However...
this was a risk I was willing to take,
desperate times call for desperate measures,

The practical joke was strategically placed under my pillow,
usually when I turn to face the defending champion,
my sweetie,

currently my rival,
in bed, I fold over the pillow,

Which I did.

My eyes still closed to avoid her gaze into the depths of my soul,
which would show my mischievous intentions....

5...

    4...

          3...

               2...

                    1...

                                         "ARGHH!!" she yelled,
                                    leaping out of bed like a flying fish,
                                 "There's a rat !!" she screamed,
                               "Honey, Honey" I replied with pace,

                               "It's okay don't worry it's only fake take a closer look."
                                                   I continued,

                                 She took a closer look.

                                

                                "See" I said.
               A grin surfacing on my face once she realized                                                                            

 Her response...
well lets just say it wasn't family-friendly,
"why would you do that ?" she said afterwards,
"you know I don't like rats."
her bottom lip slowly drooping with the addition of puppy eyes,

"I know, I know" I said feeling bad,
"I'm sorry...but you did come out of bed first so--"

"NOPE!" her reply so frightening that even the gods would quiver,
"Pleassse" I pleaded with a hint of a devilish grin,

"You did kick my ass and you have to admit, it was pretty smart."
each word meticulously used to defend my controversial win,

7 minutes of crippling passed....

at last the champ utters some words ;

                 "Fine... you win"

her lips crest fallen still with puppy eyes...

Now reader don't be deceived,
the prank was slightly over the top,
but apart from kicking my ass,
my nemesis has used more controversial and cunning tactics to win,

yet I still feel slightly bad.

                        "Sigh"

So...

I quickly jog to her as she makes her way to the kitchen,
"Lets cook together" I say,
instantly I hear ;

                          "Okay"

Her smile too bright for any star to outshine.

          During our breakfast meal she asks;
 "What do you call a couple who refuse to get out of bed ?"

                   "I don't know" I reply...

      "Two stubborn peas in a pod" she replies.

   We both laugh and continue our lovely meal.
