"You wouldn't understand what it is to be in a romantic relationship and to woo a woman."
"You don't think I know how to woo a woman?"
"I'm sure you know how to get a woman into bed."
"And you don't think that I have to woo her before I get her into bed?"
"I don't know." She shrugged.
"So you think I just go up to them and say, ‘Hey, would you like to come to bed with me’?"
"Maybe you're good looking enough." She made a face, and I couldn’t stop the rush of pleasure that compliment gave me.
"Oh,” I said, grinning. "So you think I'm good looking?"
"Where's the wine?" she asked, blushing and turning away from me.
"You didn't answer my question, Rosalie."
"What's the question, Oliver?"
"Do you think that I'm good looking enough to—”
"Not having this conversation. Let's watch the movie."
She ran toward the couch, and I laughed as I followed her. I opened the bottle of wine and poured a glass for her and then a glass for me.
"Where's the popcorn?" she asked, looking around. I put my glass down on the table and walked back to the kitchen. "Let me put it in the microwave. I forgot. Do you want butter on it?"
"Of course," she called out. "Who doesn't want butter on popcorn?"
"I know some girls who are trying to watch their weight don’t like butter."
"Are you trying to tell me something?" she asked in a deadly voice.
I realized I'd messed up. "No, I was just asking if..."
"Just hurry up," she said coldly.
The microwave beeped, alerting me to the fact that the popcorn was done, and I melted some butter and poured it over. I walked back to the living room and sat next to her on the couch and handed her the popcorn bowl. She dipped her fingers into it and grabbed a couple of kernels and munched on it.
"Not bad," she said. "Not bad."
"Are you mad at me? Because I asked if you wanted butter?"
"No," she said, glancing at me with a fire in her eyes I hadn't seen before.
"Are you sure? Because you certainly seem like you're mad."
"I just don't think that only fat people eat popcorn with butter."
"I don't think I said that, did I?"
"Well, that's what it seemed like to me."
"I don't—”
"Whatever. I'm watching the movie now."
