I gave him a perplexed look. “King Julian. You know, fromMadagascar?”
He slowly shook his head. “From what?”
“You have never seenMadagascar?” I asked in shock.
“I have no clue whatMadagascaror King Julian is.”
I placed my hands on each side of his face. “You have lived a very deprived and boring life, Parker.”
He chuckled and hooked his arm around me.
After a fun day at the zoo, I felt pretty tired, so I asked Alex if we could have dinner back in our room. Once we returned, he handed me the room service menu and asked what I wanted while he poured us some wine.
“I want a pizza.”
“Pizza? You don’t want a nice steak or maybe some fish?”
Climbing on the bed, I shook my head. “Nope. You order that for yourself if you want, but I’m having pizza.”
“Okay. Then we’ll both have pizza. What do you want on it?”
“Anything but anchovies. You pick.” I smiled.
“How about pepperoni, mushrooms, and green peppers?”
“Sounds good to me. Could you also order some of that lemon cheesecake I saw on the menu?”
“Of course.” He grinned.
He placed the order for dinner, and I patted his side of the bed. He smiled as he sat down next to me.
“Don’t you think we should wait to have sex after the pizza comes? I would hate to be in the middle of it, and there’s a knock on the door.”
“We aren’t having sex, Parker. We’re going to watchMadagascar.”
“Seriously?” His playful look turned serious.
“Yes. It’s such a cute movie. You need to let out the inner child in you. Now make yourself comfy.” I pointed the remote to the TV and searched forMadagascaron the pay channels.
We sat on the bed, our backs propped up against pillows while we ate pizza, drank wine, and laughed atMadagascar.Whenever I looked at Alex, I could tell he was enjoying it. I shoulder bumped him, and he looked over at me.
“What?”
“You’re loving King Julian.” I smiled.
“Actually, the penguins are my favorite.”
“Yeah. They’re pretty cool, but King Julian rules!”
“King Julian is great, but I’m a sucker for the penguins.” He grinned.
When the movie was over, Alex noticed there was a second one.
“Rent the second one,” he spoke.
“Don’t you think we should get some sleep since we’re leaving in the morning?”
“Go ahead and lie down, then, but I’m going to watch the second movie.”
