Why I Love You
Iggy POV
If there is one thing in this world that I couldn't go without, I would have to say it would be hearing Ella laugh. That is the best thing in the world to me. What makes it better is when she makes me work for it. Take the other day for example. I was in the kitchen getting ready to make dinner when I heard Ella flop on the couch with a sigh. I decided to sit next to her and put my arm around her shoulder to show support.
"Whatcha' doin'?" I asked channeling my inner Isabella since Phineas and Ferb was on.
"Watching TV." Ella answered shortly. I knew then she was upset so I made it my mission to cheer her up. I put my hands up to her face and started feeling it. She wasn't smiling. I took my hands away and she asked, "What was that for?"
I just grinned and answered with, "Just making sure you weren't Fang or anything." After that I felt her body relax some. "So why are you so grumpy today?" I asked.
"Who said I was grumpy?" That was a perfect set-up line.
"Well, I met the other six dwarfs today, which makes you Grumpy." I heard a chuckle, I was close. "But seriously, what's wrong?"
"Terry and her gang decided it was my turn to be publicly humiliated today. Nothing happened but they were riding me all day." Okay time to go for broke.
"Like Max does to Fang?" I asked. I threw in a little eyebrow wiggle for good measure.
"No." Drat, I was so close I could taste it. Time for the physical comedy
"Eh, don't worry about them. They all smell like Gazzy's noxious gas with all that perfume on. I mean really every time I pass one of them I'm like this." And I put my hands around my neck and pretended to be choking. And then finally it happened. Ella's sweet laugh graced my ears. I almost felt like laughing myself. All that work was finally worth it just to hear one laugh, let alone a minutes worth. All during this I heard everyone walk into the room. Ella stopped laughing.
"Wow, just wow." I heard Max say from my right.
"Dang, girl, I've never even laughed that hard." Some boy Nudge liked was starting to act like a gangster so she wanted to follow suit to see if he would notice her. Anyways, after that everyone left us alone on the couch.
"So, that was something." I said not really knowing what to say.
"Sorry, I went a bit overboard." Ella said. I had a feeling she was blushing.
"Don't worry," I said reassuringly, "that's why I love you."
