He says I have a habit of bringing up my upper lip when I'm eating pizza. I look like a bunny, he says, because my nose wiggles when I do that. I say its because I don't want pizza sauce on my face. He says its cute.
I say he has a habit of chewing on the paper packets of sugar before he dumps it in his tea. He looks like a druggy, I say, because his eyes get glazed over when he does that. He says its because he's thinking about life, as if it were in a tiny packet. I say its cute.
He says he likes taking me out to eat pizza. I ask him why. He says its because of my lip, of my nose. I scoff, and hardly blush at all. But I do blush.
I say I like forcing him to take me to the pizza place. He asks me why. I say its because of his chewing, of his eyes. He scoffs and hardly blushes at all. But he does blush.
And then he sits there for a while, waiting for the waiter to show up. He looks at me, he stares at me for a few seconds, and he blushes.
I sit there, too, for a while, also waiting for the waiter to show up. I look at him, I stare at him for a few seconds, and I blush.
He says it looks like I have four pineapples protruding from my head.
I say it looks like his head is a pineapple.
He smirks.
I smirk.
The waiter comes, and he says he wants a pepperoni pizza.
The waiter asks if that's all, and I say to make it a pepperoni and pineapple pizza.
The waiter orders our drinks, and he looks at me, and he smiles.
The waiter leaves, and I look at him, and I smile.
We're both smiling.
And we're both smiling.
He says I'm pathetic.
I say he's pathetic,
He says I'm cute.
I say he's cute.
He asks me to marry him.
I say I'm surprised he didn't ask me earlier,
He says, " So is that a yes, Temari?" But he knows.
I say, " Yeah, Shikamaru." And I know, too.
