“But I almost died,” Lucy protested, laughing.
“However, you didn’t die. You are alive enough to buy dinner to make up for the fact that you almost killed me when I had a heart attack.”
“That sounds like good logic to me,” Clara said, laughing. “He makes a good point.”
“Two against one? That’s not fair.”
Micah decided to let her have a little bit of breathing room, so he waited until she texted him that the food was on the way.
He watched in fascination as she ate all of her food and the rice, and then reached for what was left of his food after he finished.
“I guess the spill must have made me hungry,” Lucy said. “My body was working overtime to repair any damage that being frozen half to death might have caused.”
Micah laughed and said, “I can see that. Would you like me to order you some more?”
She grinned, used a napkin to wipe her face, and patted her belly.
“I’m good now.”
One of the John Wick movies was on the television.
“He does a good job, although watching these movies is just like watching a video game,” Lucy said. “As soon as he gets one of them down, three more pop up.”
“I saw a documentary about all of the training that he does for this movie,” Micah said. “It is pretty rigorous.”
“He is dedicated. He’s also a really great guy. He treats all of his fans with love and respect. He makes sure that everyone on the crew gets paid really well,” Lucy said. “I’ve been a fan sinceBill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.”
“Is that why you’re watching John Wick with me instead of a chick flick?”
Lucy smacked him playfully and asked him, “Have you ever seen me watch a chick flick? I’ve always liked action adventure movies, psychological thrillers, and such.”
“I have, actually. I’ve seen you watchDirty DancingandSay Anything.”
“Those don’t count,” Lucy said. “Even you watchedDirty Dancingand don’t you deny it.”
“I won’t. I’ve seen everything that Patrick Swayze has been in. He was a hell of an actor.”
“Which did you like better –Next of KinorRoadhouse?” Lucy asked.
Micah scratched his chin and pretended to do some heavy thinking.
“Both equally. Not only did they have Patrick Swayze in them, but they had other actors that I love as well.”
Smiling, Micah sat back in the chair as they watched John Wick and talked about their favorite actors and movies. He noted that Lucy was relaxed and was having a good time. She smiled and laughed, and it was just like the days before there was all the pressure for them to go through the mating ceremony.
He cringed as he thought about the mating ceremony. He knew that he and Lucy would do well together if they went through the mating ceremony. They had always been close friends and neither of them had any secrets from the other. He was certain that romantic love would grow in time, if she would just give it a chance. If nothing else, they had their friendship and the sex was only going to get better, especially when she became more experienced.
The movie ended and Lucy stretched and yawned. She rubbed her eyes and checked her watch to see what time it was.
“I know it’s early, but I’m so sleepy,” Lucy said.
“You are still worn out from yesterday,” Micah said. “And, even though you feel better, your body is still healing.”
They both stood up. Micah hugged her tightly, wrapping his arms around her. He still couldn’t believe that he had almost lost her yesterday. He brushed a stray piece of hair out of her face. She tilted her face up to his, her purple eyes full of emotion that Micah couldn’t identify.
Time seemed to stand still as his emotions and physical sensations intertwined. His heart raced and he softly caressed her face, noticing the silky softness of her skin.
His lips met hers and electric sparks ignited inside of him, sending a surge of warmth and longing through his body. Their mouths melded together in a sensuous dance, their tongues passionately exploring each other. Micah could feel her breath as their mouths spoke of a desire that could never be expressed by words.
