A Good Girlfriend
Fruit and Chocolate
Doyle watches her clearing the table and bringing spoons and small plates for pudding. He wants to refuse, but she winks at him and uncoveres the cake.
"What's this?" Bodie pokes suspiciously into it.
"It's a fruit cake. Fresh oranges, grapefruits, limets and such," his girlfriend answers with a shining grin.
"Fresh fruits?" Bodie looks unconvinced.
"Very sweet," she assures him sweetly and loads his plate before reaching for Doyle's.
"It's covered with chocolate," Doyle comments and holds his plate tightly on the spot.
"It's dark chocolate and it's healthy. It's a rich source of the flavonoids epicatechin and gallic acid, which are good for your heart." Doyle gapes and she uses his temporary inactivity to steal his plate.
Five very awkward seconds pass before Bodie, ever the hungry one, tastes a spoonful.
"'s not that bad," he comments happily, stuffing his face. Doyle can't hold himself anymore and bursts into wild laughter.
She smiles.
