“Ditto, Egghead,” I tell him and blushed ten tones of red. So, of course, I change the subject. “I’m famished. Where’s the food?”
“In the kitchen. But before that, I have a second surprise.”
He does?
“What is it?”
“What is the second thing you’ve always wanted to do?”
“White Water Rafting.”
“Are you freaking kidding me, Jelly Fish????”
Well, no, but a safer answer might be sensible right now. “Huh, yes?”
“Yes, what?”
“Yes, I’m waiting for you to tell me what my answer is going to be?”
He looked at me suspiciously before clicking something on his phone and Marshmello and the Jonas Brothers’Leave before you loveme blasted throughout the home.
What is the egghead up to now?
He extended his hand and asked, “May I have this dance?”
Oh no, you don’t.
“Absolutely not.”
“That was a categorical answer. Why the hell not?”
“I don’t dance.”
“Never?”
“No. I suck at it.”
“You don’t need to be good at dancing to have fun.”
“You don’t understand. I look like a handicapped pigeon when I dance.”
“So?”
“So, people will make fun of me.”
“Nobody’s here to see you.”
“You are.”
“Yeah, but I don’t count. Come on, beautiful. Live a little.” Moose remotely turned on the volume of the sound system.
I chuckled when he began doing the chicken dance and tapped my toe to the rhythm of the song.
“Come on, you scaredy-cat.”
“I’m not a scaredy-cat.”
“No, you aren’t. You’re a chicken. It’s way worse. Pok, pok, pok,” he taunted me as he imitated one.
“Fuck this.” I jumped up and launched into the bizarre seizure-like dance my dad taught me.
Instead of making fun of me, Eric danced even weirder than I did, making me laugh. For one brief moment, I allowed myself to be a teen and had fun.
We jumped up and down, did the robot, and the vogue. I lost it when he launched into the Gangnam style dance. After that, he showed me how to cook macaroni and cheese.
I loved every single minute of it. It was the best non-date I ever had in my life, and it made me fall head over heels in love with him.
It’s really too bad the evening had to end with a bang.
