“It’s not like you haven’t been driving me around in emergencies anyway.” Lad ropes his arms around my body
“I have a surprise for you.” I turn to smooch his face.
“Dazzle me, baby.” We walk back to his truck, and I grab it from the backseat.
“Surprise! It’s a pinata.” I am stoked, but my boyfriend seems to be a party pooper.
“It’s a fish pinata.” Flicking the cardboard covered decoration.
“You’re welcome, and happy birthday.” I am so impressed with myself. I have never had a boyfriend to celebrate. I was about to say bathroom, but clearly I have had one of those to celebrate.
“Is it full of condoms?” Lad takes it, not thanking me with jewels and gems. Cue the rudeness.
“Something better.” I go on my toes and bounce towards him.
“Um, what’s better than having sex with you? Wait, no condoms.” He wiggles his eyebrows at me and this guy is being silly.
“Try again, Romeo.” Lad hugs the fish to his chest.
“Candy.”
“Warmer.”
“Marshmallows?”
“What kind of girlfriend would I be if I didn’t bring you a huge piñata filled with your favorite treat?” I tear open a little part and there are small bags of Swedish fish candies in there.
“Because I’m a swimmer?” He glares at me like I am so unoriginal.
“Because when you have your cheat days from your healthy meals to keep your body looking like an ice sculpture, you devour these red goodies.” I scowl back at him. “I know you, baby, better than you think.”
“Okay, well what am I thinking right now?” Lad puts the pinata back in the truck and encircles his arms around me.
“Um, something inappropriate and also, gross Lad, you know I can’t bend my body into the shape of your head.” My face resulting in fake horror.
“Maybe if I rub you the right way?” He tickles my tummy.
“Yeah, if I was a Christina Aguilera song.” I press a hand to his chest to give us space. “Now I have a party planned; it was going to be a surprise, but I can’t help myself. So, act surprised when we get back to the house.” I clap my hands and Lad is shaking his head.
“Rush already told me.”
“That traitor.”
“He’s my friend, baby doll.”
“You need knew pet names, fish boy.” I peck him on the nose.
“Alyeska, it’s the middle of the week, we have practice in the morning. I don’t think it is a good time to celebrate.” He is already being a bummer on his birthday. Rush said this would happen, but not this year and not on my watch.
“It’s Thursday, I am sure you can handle one day and then have the weekend to recover.” Don’t rain on my parade, buddy. I already decorated and I am not a party planner.Thanks to Bambi, she made it look like some funeral, which I applaud.
“Fine, but only if you stay by my side.” Lad rubs his nose against mine and I stick out my tongue to lick his face.
“No promises.” I give him a wink and get behind the wheel. My license is no longer suspended; my probation is over.
I am free from the past.
Fuck, finally.
