The Dance Of The Young Proffesionals
"Mmm..." I said, stealing his plate of noodles.
"Hey!" He shrieked, "They're MY noodles!"
"Then it must suck to be you, I guess." I answered, twirling some noodles around the fork and sliding it into my mouth.
"Hey," I commented, "You make pretty good noodles."
He glared at me, his eyes narrow slits burning into my eyes. Well, kind of. I guess.
"So," He began, "What do you want to do?"
"Hm," I thought, "Bungee jumping?"
"No."
"Sky diving?"
"No."
"Swimming with sharks?"
"No."
"White- water kyacking?"
"No."
"Can we do anything?"
"Depends. We can do whatever you want as long as there is less than a ten percent chance we'll die." He compromised. Sort of.
"So we can't do anything." I said.
Nick's P.O.V.
I thought about it for a minute, then decided it was a great plan.
"I'm going outside." I explained slowly, backing out the door, turning round and sprinting down the garden as I reached it.
I hid behind the bushes and slowly crept towards the power box.
Wait for it, wait for it, I thought as she was about to step to the middle of the garden, --now!
At once, the whole of the garden was pelted with the water coming from the master sprinkler, leaving Alex in the middle of a freezing cold, soaking wet garden which was all the while getting wetter.
I walked into the fake rain and pulled her into my arms. She laughed and I pulled her down onto the mud, holding her as close to me as I could.
"I love you, Alex." I whispered.
"I love you, Nick." She replied and I grinned.
"You don't know how good it feels to hear you say that again..." I trailled.
"Actually, I think I do." She argued, leaning closer to me.
"Come on..." I urged, pulling her up, "We're going to get sick."
"Yeah, whatever." She shrugged, and I could see she wasn't paying attention.
"Alex?" I asked and she turned to me.
"Do you think I could be pregnant?" She questioned.
"Um," I began, "I don't know, I hadn't thought about it really. Probably not, but you should check."
"Yeah," She agreed, "I guess you're right."
"Here," I pulled her into the house and into my room, where I went into the bathroom and locked it. I had about 3 minutes before she got annoyed, so I quickly threw off my clothes and wrapped myself in a towel before walking out to her.
"Hey." She greeted, smiling at me.
"Hey." I repeated, laying next to her on my bed.
"What will happen if I'm pregnant?" She suddenly wondered.
"Then we have a family." I explained.
"Yeah, but like..." She began.
"Yes..." I urged.
"What would happen to us?"
"We might get married I suppose."
"You suppose?" She questioned.
"Nothing's ever for certain Alex." I reminded her and she sighed.
"You're right." She breathed and I smiled.
"Oh, and Alex?" I added.
"Yeah?" She responded.
"We're going to be just fine." I assured her and held her hand. She grinned and laced her fingers though mine.
"I trust you." She said.
