Page 112 of Tapped By My Roommate
“Godzilla movies, the futon where we had so many first times, and your favorite movie snacks—all of these things symbolize a huge change in my life, and that change is you. Ethan, will you mate with me for life, as my Google research has told me that shingleback lizards and gray wolves and barn owls do?”
I laughed wetly, tears dampening my cheeks. “You’re serious?”
“I love everything about you. Even your need for rules and guidelines.” He tapped the page, and my eyes focused enough to read the first few lines:
Cherish Ethan’s enthusiasm for life.
Always watch Godzilla with him.
Buy him a lifetime’s supply of bowties.
“You so have a bowtie kink,” I said with a sniffle.
“I have an Ethan kink. What do you think? Want to give me an answer?”
My gaze returned to the list, my heart fluttering, and my stomach swooped as if I’d just gone over a big hill as I read the rest.
Explore sex and intimacy with Ethan for as long as we both shall live.
Teach him, and learn from him, in equal measure.
Always be his backup, even if you end up as a passenger instead of a hero.
My eyes returned to him, where he appeared to be holding his breath.
“Yes, my answer is yes,” I said, my voice thick. “I need a good wingman. I think you’ll be perfect.”
He rose, catching me as I threw myself into his arms. I kissed him with all the love I couldn’t seem to express right then. It wasn’t until we’d separated and Rhett had wiped my tears that I said, “No ring?”
“All this wasn’t enough?”
“Oh no, it was great. Sorry—”
Rhett laughed, stopping me short. “I’m kidding. I have a ring on reserve, but I wanted you to see it before buying it. You’re going to be wearing it for the rest of your life, so I think you should make sure you like it, don’t you?”
“The rest of my life,” I murmured, the enormity hitting me again.
“Till death do us and Zilla part,” he said with a teasing smile.
I looked at everything Rhett had done to show that he not only loved me, but he loved all of me, and felt incredibly lucky to have applied for the roommate ad at exactly the right time.
“I love you. This is amazing.”
“There’s one more thing…”
He flipped to the next page of the notebook, where it read:
Rhett and Ethan’s Sexual Exploration list
Wall sex
Car sex
Godzilla sex
To be continued…
Okay, I understood wall sex and car sex, but…
