Bubbles

"Let me help."

"I've got it."

"No, come on Rei. Let me help."

"No, you cooked, I'll clean."

"But you're doing it wrong."

"Excuse me?" Jed knew that would get her attention.

"Yes, you're doing it all wrong." Watching her drop the pan back into the sink, Jed used his body to push her out of the way just slightly, allowing him access to the sink as well.

"Yes, see in order to really get the dished clean; you have to have plenty of bubbles."

"Jed, half the sink is bubbles!"

"Not those kind of bubbles, Rei."

"What other types of bubbles are there?" She asked; her eagerness to see where he was going with all this apparent to him in her tone.

"Well…" he answered, pulling his hands out of the soapy water and rubbing his palms together, "You absolutely have to have bubbles like this!" Forming an 'O' with his hands he very carefully and quickly blew a bubble at Rei.

The next thing Jed knew the two of them were slopping water all over his kitchen floor in a war to blow the biggest bubble. Waiting until Rei had her hands in the sink again; Jed got right up in her face and blew a bubble so it popped on her nose. As she blinked in shock, Jed leaned in and kissed her where the bubble had previously just landed, only to cause her to blink in shock again and then dump a glass of soapy water on his head.
