Refrigerator
"So you're telling me that the light in this thing shuts off when you close it?" spoke a sixteen year old male as he looked the refrigerator before him up and down.
"Uh-yeah, Kevin. I thought everyone knew that." The girl to Kevin's left looked at him skeptically, then back to the appliance.
"Well it isn't like it's common knowledge, Gwen."
"Yes it is." The girl reached out her hand, opened the refrigerator, and grabbed a pitcher of tea from within. She then walked over to the nearest kitchen counter. "Hey, will you close that for me?" she asked as she sat the contained liquid down.
"Uh-huh." Kevin grabbed the open door and slowly began to bring it to a close, but before he shut the refrigerator entirely, he placed his head near the crack of the two openings, trying to see what became of the light. "Aw, man. My head's too big!"
"No argument there," replied the girl.
Kevin in return only glared at her, then opened the door slightly and repeated the action he had moments before.
"What? Do you think that I'm lying or something?" Gwen asked before pouring a small amount of tea in a plastic cup.
"No. I just might not think that you are correct about your assumption," the boy replied while opening the door for a third time.
"Oh really?" The red-head sat her drink down and walked over towards Kevin. "And why would you say that?" She jerked the door from the raven-head's hands and shut it close.
"Well, youdon't know what a refrigerator looks like from the inside."
"There's a switch, Kevin. The light cuts off." She turned to walk off, but the boy grabbed her hand to keep her still.
"No. You see, that's where they get ya."
"...who?"
"The electric companies."
"What?!"
"No. I've got it all figured out. Really."
"Elaborate."
Kevin led Gwen over to the kitchen table and motioned her to sit down. "Okay here's the deal," he began as he took his own seat. "The electric companies want to make you think that there's a switch, but in actuality there isn't: meaning that you spend more on your power bill than necessary."
"Okay. Let me make sure I have this straight here." The girl rested her chin on her right hand as she continued. "You would rather believe a conspiracy theory than the simple explanation that a refrigerator has a light switch."
"Well unless you can prove it to me, then yes." Kevin crossed his arms over his chest.
"What do you want me to do, Kevin? Call an electrician or something? It's not like I can stick you in the fridge so you can see for yourself."
With that last word a devilish smile etched across the teen boy's face, making a puzzled one come upon the girl's.
"Wha-? Oh, Kevin, you wouldn't fit in the refrigerator."
"I won't," his smile widened as he locked eyes with her, "but you will."
"Oh hell no!" Gwen jumped up, knocking her chair over. "You are not sticking me in that thing!"
"Yes I am," he replied simply, standing up as well.
", stay away from me." The girl backed slowly around the table, but unfortunately for her there was nothing but wall behind her: no escape.
"No, Gwen. We are going to find out if the light really shuts off."
"Kevin, please don't."
He walked towards her, smiling mischievously. "Sorry, Gwen. My mind's made up." He picked her up in one quick motion and began to walk towards the refrigerator.
"Kevin-let-go of-me," Gwen demanded while kicking her legs about, frantically.
"Nope." He turned her back towards the appliance and backed her inches from a desperate measure, the red-head pushed her back against the fridge, momentarily stopping Kevin's attempts. He merely laughed, though and stepped closer to pull her from against it.
"Oh no you don't," Gwen mumbled, wrapping her legs around Kevin's waist. "You're not putting me anywhere."
The two only stared at each other for a brief moment, Kevin's hands on the small of Gwen's back, her legs pulling her closer to him. Gwen was slightly out of breath from the frustration, but dared not to speak a word.
"Gwen," Kevin pleaded before pressing his lips against hers, pushing her closer against the refridgerator door. The girl responded immeadiately, tugging the males raven locks with her slender fingers.
The couple continued for a few moments before Kevin broke away, blushing madly. Excruciating minutes of silence followed.
"Kevin?" Gwen asked after a while, feeling the need to say something.
"Uh-yeah, Gwen?" The boy kept his eyes on the ground.
"Please don't put me in the fridge."
A/N: Opinions? Oh and I know that considering that groceries and shelves were most likely in the fridge at the time, Kevin would have a hard time actually puttingGwen in there, but let's just for arguement's case say that he either knew that and was just teasing her or wasn't really paying attention to that little detail.
