“Oh, so good,” she moans. “Want to try a bite?”
“Sure.” I watch as she cuts a piece off the steak, spears it with the fork, then reaches over the table toward me. I lean forward so she can feed it to me. She’s right, it’s really good. Juicy, tender, flavorful, only made better by the fact that she’s feeding it to me.
“How’s yours?” she asks back.
I cut off a bite and reach over the table to feed it to her, then watch as her lips close around my fork. Her eyes shut for a moment as she chews. “Mmmm, ohmigod, that’s delicious.”
I doubt she realizes how sexy she sounds. For some reason I think it would embarrass her to know that. So instead I just enjoy sitting across from her, listening, watching, absorbing.
“What’s your favorite movie?” she asks, suddenly.
“You want me to pick just one?” I ask.
“Are you a movie buff?”
“I don’t know if I’m a buff, but I love a good movie.”
“What kind of movies?”
“I don’t discriminate. Hell, I even likedThe Notebook.”
“Ohmigod,” she says. “I loved that movie!”
“Is that your favorite?” I ask.
“Oh, gosh no. I mean, I love it, but if I had to go with my favorite, there would be many, many others in line ahead of that one.”
“Like what?”
“Hmmm . . . let me think. Wait, you don’t get to turn this around on me. I asked you first.”
“That you did. Okay, I’m going to go withThe Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.”
“Early Clint Eastwood. Good choice.”
“And yours?”
“That’s like asking me what flavor ice cream is best, when all ice cream is good.”
“Mint Chocolate Chip,” I say.
“That’s your favorite? Out of all the available ice cream flavors?”
“It is. It’s cool, refreshing, some might say minty, plus you’ve got the crunch of chocolate in every bite.”
“Wow. That’s like saying vanilla is your favorite.”
“Ain’t nothing wrong with vanilla, sweetness. Why? What’s your favorite ice cream?”
“Probably, Oreo Cookie.”
“Hmm. Okay. So, it’svanillaice cream with cookies in it.”
“Well, when you put it like that, it doesn’t sound as good. But yes, that would be the one I’d normally gravitate toward. However, I’m never going to say no to ice cream just because it’s not Oreo Cookie flavor. All ice cream is good.”
“What about a movie?”
“Well, that’s kind of the same. I like all movies. Romance movies are my favorites. Old black and white movies especially. If I had to pick a favorite, that I could watch over and over again, it would beThe Philadelphia Storywith Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, and Jimmy Stewart.”
