Five Things Ryan Loves (yes, loves) About Kelly
I.
He loves to kiss her mid-sentence. And it's not just about stopping her never ending stream of talking. He likes the feel of his lips upon hers when she's starting to form a word; caught completely off guard. He feels like he's kissing the true Kelly at those times.
And that's why he likes it.
II.
He loves to watch her at work. Just sit at his desk and watch her for seconds, minutes, hours at a time. He can't fully face her direction and observe, Dwight would harass him for not "staying on task", but if he angles his chair just right (and he always does) and looks out of the corner of his eye he can see it all.
She's different when she's talking to a customer. Her bubbles are there, but they are controlled. She's less spastic. This is the more mature Kelly.
The Kelly he always sees in her.
III.
He loves to give her jewelry. He enjoys watching her face shine when he hands it to her, eyes a glow from the reflection of the wrapping paper. Her faces lights up when she sees that it's jewelry and she smiles and gives him a kiss.
But he likes the aftermath of giving the gift more.
She always wears something that he bought her. Even if it doesn't go with the outfit. Even when he knows that she has a bracelet or a necklace that matches better. She still wears it.
And he likes to think, in his cheesy and cliché way, that a part of him is always with her when she wears it.
VI.
He loves to watch her sleep. Especially when she's asleep in his bed. Or on his couch. Or in his arms.
The silence is nice but that's not all he likes. She's so tender and sweet looking when she's sleeping that it almost makes him want to marry her right then. Aside from all of that he likes to see her vulnerable side, the side she keeps hidden from everyone.
But him.
V.
He loves to see her smile. Not one of those cheesy or fake ones that she puts on around the office. But her true genuine smile. The one he likes to think she reserves only for him.
It takes some major work to see that smile. One has to do something so wonderful that she can't hide her euphoria.
This key should do the trick.
