“You knew that?”

He nodded.

Unable to resist, I questioned, “What else do you know about me?’

He smiled. “You’re going to have to liquor me up to answer that question.”

“But we’re having such great conversation.” I moved my hands. “Let’s keep that going.”

“At whose expense?”

“Currently yours.”

“I see. You’re trying to find out all my secrets, huh?”

“As a matter of fact, I am.”

“Alright. I go first then.”

“But I just asked you my question first.”

“These are my conditions.”

I rolled my eyes. “Fine.” I coughed, “Cheater.”

He gripped my thigh.

“Don’t you dare! We’re done with that game, and we’ve moved onto a new one.”

“And who won that round?”

“You just want to hear me say it.”

“And yet I’m still waiting.”

“You won, Adrian Drake,” I stated in a high-pitched voice. “Because you’re the best at everything.”

He loosened his clasp. “I’m glad you’re aware of that.”

“Okay.” I mockingly smiled. “Now answer your question.”

“You’re so bossy.”

“Come on… I know what you’re doing. You’re sidestepping my awesome game of let’s get to know each other.”

“Is that what I’m doing?”

“Stop asking a question with a question and just ask me yours.” I paused. “Please.”

“Only because you’re begging me.” He thought about it for a second. “Why don’t you have any girlfriends?’

“You’re first question is why I’m not into chicks?”

“Paige…”

“I know!” I squeezed his leg. “I’m just giving you a taste of your own medicine.”

He died laughing again.
