Bella Swan/has a boyfriend?

"Girlfriend, huh?" I ask.

"Yeah, she was pretty great up until she let me get molested. I might have to second guess some things."

"I bet she's sorry."

I lie.

"I bet she's full of shit."

I lean across the table.

"What did you think about this supposed girlfriend before she let you get felt up by the server?"

He meets me halfway with a panty-dropping smile.

Gah, this guy.

"Beautiful, smart, hilarious, with a take no shit attitude." He kisses my nose and pulls away. "And she called me her boyfriend way before I thought she would. I was trying to come up with a way to ask her to make it official without seeming any younger than her than I already am. Have I mentioned that she's a total cradle robber?"

"Two years is not a big deal." I laugh and throw my straw paper at him.

He tries to catch it with his good hand but fails, and his smile drops.

"Let's go back to your house and make out, boyfriend."
