“How do you stay in such good shape eating ice cream?” she asked playfully.
“Well, I work out a lot,” I said. “And it is low fat ice cream. A sweet treat that I only indulge in a few times a week.”
“You’ve got to live a little bit, right?” she asked.
“That’s right,” I replied.
“Sure, I’ll have some. With fudge and whipped cream?”
“Coming right up,” I said.
I quickly prepared the desserts for us to enjoy. Then I sat down at the table beside her. She was such a joy to be around and I’d been able to think of almost nothing else but her and sex since our encounter the night before last.
“This is delicious,” she said. “Are you sure it’s low fat?”
“Yep. But it is not fat free. That’s the key. They’ve made great strides in healthier junk food options in recent years. Taking all the fat out of something would leave it tasting like a foot.”
She laughed and snorted a little bit causing ice cream to slip out of her mouth. Kat was embarrassed and she quickly wiped at it. I had to chuckle alongside of her. This was hilarious and full of life. I was so attracted to her energy.
“I’m sorry,” Kat said. “I didn’t think I had that much wine.”
“You are fine. Everyone’s entitled to a mistake here and there. I won’t hold it against you,” I teased.
“That’s a relief.”
She smiled at me. Wow, what a smile. I loved to see her smiling. She was perfect, so perfect… I wanted to reach over right then and hold her in my arms. If I could have just told her then how much I was falling for her.
It was a new experience for me. That type of love had never r
eally found me before. I was looking forward to experiencing whatever came next, but I had to be patient. And that was the biggest reason why what I was about to ask Kat was so difficult to get through.
“Kat, there is something I need to ask you,” I said.
She looked up from her ice cream and pushed it back from her so that she could give me her undivided attention. She had a little bit of whipped cream on her upper lip. I smiled and wiped it off with my napkin. She blushed. “Thanks. What is it you want to ask me?”
“Um… I’m not sure how to ask this, but I wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t of the utmost importance to me.”
She knew that this was serious, and her face now reflected this. Kat leaned in closer to me. “What is it? You can ask me. Just go ahead. It’s alright.”
“My father has revised his will to cut me out of it,” I said.
She gasped and covered her mouth. She was genuinely shocked. “I’m so sorry to hear that. Are you ok?”
“Yeah, I’ll be fine. You see, he cut me out of the will, but there is way for me to get back into it.”
“Ok. What do you have to do?” Kat asked. I could see the anticipation in her face.
“I can get back in the will if I get married and have a child within the next three years.”
Her mouth dropped open widely. Kat paused a moment and then shook her head. I wasn’t sure if she realized what I was really asking, or if she was just trying to get her head around it.
“What are you going to do? That’s a bit bizarre, isn’t it? What did you tell him?” Kat asked. She was flabbergasted by what my father was asking of me. I was glad to know she felt the same way that I did.
“I told him ok and then I left. We hadn’t even ordered our food yet. I had to get out of there. I was so pissed.”
“I would have been, too. Bastard,” Kat said.
I sighed heavily and leaned closer to her. “I want to do it.”
