"That sounds weird you know?" I watch him chew the last of his sandwich as I bite into my own. I try to hide the grimace as I realize he put tomato on it. I hate tomatoes.
"What sounds weird?" he is now the one watching me. He leans over and takes my sandwich, liberates the tomato from it and stuffs it in his mouth then hands the sandwich back. Not missing a beat. "What's weird babe?"
"Well that for one. How did you know the tomato was what I didn't like? I mean maybe it was the mayo?" I take another bite and it is perfect this time.
"Well you picked them out of your salad, you ordered your burger without it and you dabbed any extra sauce off your pizza. You aren't the only one that sees things."
"Then why did you put it on my sandwich?" my mouth is full and my mother would be horrified but I'm not worried around him.
"First don't talk with your mouth full." Okay maybe I do. "Second, I love them and I wasn't sure if you suffocated or not so there was a good chance I was going to eat that one too." Balling up my napkin I throw it at him. He catches it and hands me a new one.
"Always with the keeping your cool huh?" Shoving the rest of my dinner in my mouth I wash it down with the soda and feel the mood shift back now.
"Someone has to with that whiplash personality you have."
"Funny thing is I never have had it before. Must be you bringing it out." I am ready for him to call me on it. And he doesn't disappoint.
"Bull, and don't try to claim otherwise. I will recite a list a mile long." clearing the counter he puts the dishes away and rounds the counter. The smiles and lightness dims in ratio to his closeness to me. He gets closer and closer. And all I can do is turn to look at him, mouth flapped open. Yup I am pretty sure I look all the bad ass I want to. But statue look is all the rage I guess because it keeps up until he leans down and kisses me.
"Welcome back boyfriend" then he pulls me from my seat and drags me to the couch. After neatly placed he flops at the other end and shit just got serious.
"Okay so now are we gonna talk or what?" yup it got real serious.
