A Visit
"Come in for a sec…"
"No really, it's fine…"
"No, come on, I'll only be a minute…"
"Yes, so it would be pointless for me to come in…"
"Come on…"
"No really, I'm fine right here…"
"You'll get kidnapped…"
"I'll be fine… I'm too old to get kidnapped…"
"You'll get gorgeous-man-napped then…"
"I promise I will not get stolen away in any shape or form…"
"Why are you so scared of coming in?"
"Are you hungry?"
"What? No, you can't answer my question with another question…"
"I thought it was a rhetorical question…"
"Bollocks, come on…"
"No, no, rhetorical question, I'm fine…"
"I didn't ask if you were fine…"
"I meant I'm fine here…"
"Your fine everywhere… in the sense of gorgeous that is…"
"Thank you, but I feel no need to enter your parent's home…"
"You're scared of her, aren't you…"
"What? No!"
"Ever since that time-"
"I'm not scared of your mother… Now piss off and go get your laptop…"
"You ARE! scared of her!"
"NO I'M NOT!"
"WELL COME IN THEN!"
"FINE!"
Mira laughed a laugh of triumph as Ian got out of the Ferrari and followed her up her parent's garden path.
"Knew you'd come eventually," she giggled wrapping her arm around his waist.
He muttered something inaudible in reply and rolled his eyes. She knocked on the door and fiddled with a bit of Ian's hair absent-mindedly as her eyes scanned the porch.
They heard footsteps and Mira's father came to the door.
"Hi daddy!" she said cheerfully and lifted a hand.
"Hi Miranda! Hi Ian. Haven't seen you about for a while…"
"Yeah, well, you know Mr Simmons. Work's been a bit hectic lately…" Ian replied removing his sunglasses and shrugging.
"Oh God yeah I know. And please call me Gene… Come in, come in…"
"Well, that was eventful…" Ian said, throwing the towel he had been using to dry Mira's hair into the back seat.
The pair had been minding their own business, standing by the pool while Mira's mother had gone upstairs to get her laptop. It was then that Bonso made his appearance. Mira's dog that had been VERY pleased to see Miranda back had come barrelling out of the patio doors.
He had jumped up, knocked Mira in the stomach, which made her loose her balance, stumble to the edge of the pool and fall in… of course… pulling Ian with her.
A visit to her parent's house was always eventful…
