My jaw drops open.I'm gobsmacked!How the hell did she guess that?

"YOU ARE!"She is as shocked as I am, but she recovers quickly."Holy Fucking Hades!That sounds sexy as hell!"

I shake my head.Of course, she would see the sex part of it, but it's not that.It's because I am hardcore and a badass.

She jumps up and down."I can sobelievethat!It suits you!How did you get it?Who gave it to you?Tell me more!"

I buy time to figure out how the hell I'm going to explain this away.Deflecting, I laugh with her, feeling a little like Chris Hemsworth's Thor."Not literally, Siri!"

She doesn't bite.She gives me a 'give me a break' look."Of course, I know it's not literal!I don't believe in Gods.I just like to poke fun at the religions."Then she's back to laughing and teasing me to tell her."But the name suits you so!"She says it out loud again in her emcee voice."Aurelius Moore,MyGolden God, the Bastard Son of Thor, God of Thunder!Please, oh great one, tell me more!"

I roll my eyes but laugh at her theatrics.She is hilarious when she wants to be."Tomorrow!"I tell her firmly.

"Oh hell no!"She doesn't let me off the hook that easy."I have to know this now!Tell me about the dark side of you!"

Shit!This isn't going the way I want it to, so I buckle down on the firmness."All I'm telling you right now is that it's an alter ego that no one knows about."

"What does the bastard son do?Something dark with thunder, I hope!"

I roll my eyes again.She's clearly thinking BDSM.I have to shut her down.We are nowhere near going there."No more questions."

She narrows her eyes, drawing air between her teeth."Ooh, you mean it."

I nod."Yes, Siri.I mean it."

"Just one more.Then I'll wait till tomorrow, I promise."

I sigh, "Ok, one more."

She doesn't waste time thinking about what she wants to ask.She already knows."Does your alter ego reside in Italy, and were you going to, and will you still introduce me to him?Please, please, please!"

"That's three questions."

"Technically one because I used conjunctions.Trickery again."She winks.

"You're going to keep me on my toes."I shake his head."Ok.Yes.Yes.And Yes."

"OH YEAH!"Her eyes flare."I can't wait!When do we leave?"She throws her arms around my neck and jumps up and down on me.

Relieved she's letting it go and optimistic.She's so open-minded, I confess."Ah, my Wild Thang.What fun we are going to have together!"

"Yes!Fucking fun!"She giggles."I cannot wait to explore all of that name!My Fucking Golden God is the Bastard Son of the God of Thunder!Oh, hell yeah!I can so believe that!"

I cup her face to keep her still so I can kiss her smile.She makes me so happy.So unbelievably happy."Let's go.Before we do any more exploring, we have a hot date tonight, and if we don't go, my bros will come looking for me."

"Ok!"She agrees."I have to meet your bros!But I cannot wait for Italy!"

We turn toward the kitchen, but then she stops and bends over one last time to smell the roses.I wait while she enjoys them and notices one of the small ID cards has fallen off.I bend down to retrieve it.It reads, "You are one hell of an entertainer.Thank you for the performance.It was unforgettable!Love Darren and Angela."

I hand it to her when she stands, and she puts it in her jacket pocket.I set my empty beer bottle on the kitchen counter, then held my hand out for hers.I bond our fingers together as she drags me out the door.
