It got late, and I decided we needed to wrap up the night. We were right across the street from the rental, but I didn’t want to mess around and find out this city is unsafe at night. My thought was to go inside for a drink, but it was kind of crowded, so we took a bench just outside one of the entrances for my next party trick.
“You know I love you, right?” I said.
“Yes, Luca.”
“And you know I’d do anything for you…”
She nodded.
“And you know-“
“Luca! Stop.”
Okay, I threw that last one in there to make her laugh.
“Okay. I’ll get to the point. When I bought the flowers, I saw they had all kinds of sweet treats…”
Her eyes lit up just like I thought they would.
“They had chocolate, strawberries, and all the usuals. But you know what I got?”
I pulled out the pink box, and she sat on the end of the bench, waiting anxiously to know what tantalizing goodness awaited her. I sat there for a few seconds, toying with her emotions.
“Luca, open the box!!”
I laughed so hard. Upon threat of harm, I opened the box, and she gasped.
“DONUT HOLES?!?!? You really do love me!”
Score! She clamored for the box, but I snatched it away.
“Wait, now. Let me feed you like they do in the movies.”
It only took her two seconds to get all doe eyed on me and open her mouth wide.
My plan was to be funny and toss one into her mouth like a basketball, but my plan backfired. I missed her mouth. Like, entirely. It hit her in the nose and crashed down to the ground. Sophia gasped again even louder.
“Save it, Luca!!”
If I weren’t trying to go after it like we didn’t have eight more in the box, I would have laughed at her concern for this lone donut hole.
Needless, I let her eat her own donuts after that. No, she did not share, and that was fine by me.
The air got chilly, and Sophia wanted to get away from the breeze and go inside. That was actually perfect because I had one last trick up my sleeve. The gift shop also had all kinds of nectars from all over the worlds. Since strawberries are related to romance, I bought a bottle of strawberry nectar and poured us a glass. I don’t know what they put in that stuff, but my lips got real loose. Like I said before, I’m not a romantic dude, but I sure was spitting some serious game that night. My tongue was so silver, they could give it out as an award. I didn’t know I had it in me, and neither did Sophia. She was surprised at first, but she ate it all the way up.
But I didn’t stop there. I went from dropping lines to kicking the hornet’s nest. I should have known better than to start something I can’t finish, but I just couldn’t get enough of her, and it was so nice having uninterrupted time together. She, too, fought a losing battle, and I knew I needed to stop or figure out how to make this happen because there was no way we were taking this back to the house. The way we get down? Dub will never invite us anywhere again, heh. She cut her eyes at me in that way when we’re about to fly to Sixam. I looked around to see if we were alone because we just might have to get arrested for public indecency.
“Closet,” she said with urgency.
I looked at it with a raised eyebrow, thinking I’d rather go to jail than find out if that closet is clean or not.
“Seriously?”
“Come on! It’ll be fun. No one is around anyway.”
I’ve never turned down my wife, and I was not about to start. She always finds ways to get me to do things I’ve never done.
Closet woohoo!! Who knew?
