There was a thing that Danny Castellano would never understand about his girlfriend : her love for "hype" things. Everything she could read in her 5$ magazines , she had to try it. It was like her new whim and most of the time she was shouting at everybody that she found a motto to live by. For example she had that idea one day to eat kale in every single meal, and there was a juicing phase too! The kale thing lasted 3 days and the juicing stuff 5 days. 5 days which is her new record of "things that can change my life you don't know how Danny". And of course he had to partially do it with her because she didn't stop complaining about the fact that Gwen's husband was doing everything with her and that if he didn't support her, he would not be a good boyfriend but he couldn't remember the rest of her tirade. But something was sure, Mindy Lahiri loved her drama side and loved it so much that she used it a little too much.
" That's what you love the most in me Castellano and don't even try to deny it !" she said after the kale drama. Her drama ? If he could , he will erase that part of her..but maybe not all of the part but most of it because in his heart he loved it only he would never admit it, and even less to her.
So after the kale and the juicing, Mindy found another new miracle food in her life : avocado.
"You don't understand Danny!" she said the other day, "all the things that you can do with avocado. It is like the best super food ever and even Gwyneth Paltrow wrote about it in her blog and she loooooves it !"
"Okay, if Gwineth loves it" he answered back in a mumble.
"It's GwYneth Danny, repeat after me : GwY-Neth.."
"Yeah, yeah if you say so."
And since this morning (which was 2 mornings ago) she was in full avocado mode. She put it in every meals. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, it was worst that the kale nightmare from last month. So Danny, as the best boyfriend that he was, was supporting her during this new phase or if you asked him torture.
The whole situation began to be heavy in the apartment during day 4's night when he came home after Mrs Miller's C-section. He heard noise in the bathroom and he directly assumed that Mindy was in the shower so he went in the kitchen to grab something to eat before dinner. He grabbed one of the last thing that was in the fridge , the bowl of guacamole which he thought was one of Mindy's snacks and she wouldn't even notice it. So he found some chips and began to eat the guacamole when Mindy came in the kitchen. She directly went to the fridge searching for something.
"Dan' did you see my mask ?"
"What mask? If you talk about your Diwali mask I don't think it is in the fridge."
"Don't be silly Danny! I'm talking about the bowl of ..." her words died on her lips when she turned to see what was really happening. "DANNY! You're eating my mask! Oh my god! Give it to me now. Oh perfect what I am supposed to do with a mask full of chips crumbs ? Can you tell me ?"
"Eat it." said Danny casually.
"Are you kidding me ? It was the last avocado that I had. What I'm going to do ?"
"Why not stopping that weird avocado mania? "
"No I can't. I want to do it, until the end. I want to prove that I can do it. Gwen did it."
"You don't really need that you know..."
"You only say that because you ate my mask! You know that's mean Danny."
"Sorry sorry okay. Listen Min', you don't have to do everything that Gwen do. Try something she didn't do yet."
Mindy looked puzzled listening to her boyfriend and then she tought about it and why not ?
"You know what Danny ? You're right. I'm to try something else, I don't need to do like Gwen plus I have you. We can do it together, Oh my god this will be so romantic! You're the best." She was all smiling, he loved when she smiled like that he can't help smiling too. She kissed him and went to take her bath but then he realised what she said about doing new food experiences together. He literally made a pact with the devil.
"Oh boy."
