“No.”
“What is it then?”
I looked around and leaned forward. “The fact that you’re sexy as hell and will suck my dick anyway.”
She gasped. “That’s very presumptuous of you.”
I shrugged. “Don’t get me wrong. I don’t want you to do anything until you’re ready, but I saw your face on Saturday night. It’s only a matter of time.”
She turned red again and tried to make a face like she was pouting, but her guilty smile still shone through. “You’ve basically just proved my point.”
“What point?”
“That that’s all you or any guy is after.”
“I have to disagree with you there. What were the other things most guys pretend to want?”
“Snuggling, commitment, a future together.”
“Can I be perfectly honest with you?” I asked.
“If you must.”
“I’m not going to pretend that there aren’t things higher on my list than snuggling.”
“Obviously.”
“But as far as being committed to you and hoping you’ll be a part of my future, I’m way past wanting those things. If anything, I’d say you can basically take those things for granted.”
She popped the bottom of her cone in her mouth and crossed her arms while she chewed.
I rolled my eyes up to the sky but The Gelateria’s awning got in the way. “In fact, besides my family, there’s no one I’m more committed or tied to than you.”
She swallowed her last bite and grabbed a paper napkin out of the dispenser on the table. “I guess we do go way back.”
“Way back,” I said.
“And you think seeing each other like we did on Saturday is worth risking everything we’ve had up to now?”
I shrugged. “I think it’s too late.”
“And if it weren’t?”
“Wouldn’t you always wonder?”
She rubbed the back of her neck.
“I don’t know about you, but I always wondered what it would be like to hook up. Ya know, in the back of my mind. Didn’t you?”
“I suppose so.”
I nodded. “Glad you chose the stracciatella?”
“Yeah.”
I smiled. “Want to swing by my place for dessert?”
“What time is it?” she asked, pulling out her phone. Her face dropped. “I can’t.”
