Me:He knows I was with you today:’(

Beauty:Will I be shot in the head as soon as I get to your house tomorrow?

I chuckled, and felt myself starting to relax.

Me:Why would you say that?

Beauty:I’ve seen the rifle above your fireplace, Rina.

I bit my lower lip to stop myself from laughing.

Me:And how do you know it’s real? It could very easily be a prop.

Beauty:Because Taron has one just like it. And also because I know what a real gun looks like.

Me:So what, you can’t take a measly bullet for me? And here I thought we were star-crossed lovers.

Beauty:I’ll negotiate and take a wedgie instead, how about that?

I covered my mouth with a hand as I laughed.

Me:Kinky. I like it;)

Beauty:Pain isn’t kinky:/

Me:It is for a lot of people.

Beauty:Seeing you blush when I touch you is my kink.

I felt heat coursing through my body after reading that.

Me:How did we move from you being afraid of getting your brain blown out, to you flirting with me?

Beauty:I’ll always flirt with you, even if I’m bleeding out at your feet.

I shook my head and smiled.

Me:You’re crazy.

Beauty:I’m blaming the Rum Cakes for my mental dysfunction.

Me:Or maybe the twelve cheese empanadas you had at the Market today.

Beauty:Those were pretty addicting, weren’t they?

Me:And so were your kisses after that. Nothing tastes better than a pair of lips that are smeared with cheese and crispy dough.

Beauty:I love it when you talk dirty to me;)

I couldn’t help but laugh again.

Me:You think Avô will let you continue working at the house after that?

He didn’t reply instantly, so I sent him another message.

Me:Did you get home alright?

Beauty:Yeah. Sorry for the late response. Mr. Ribeiro was texting me, so I had to get back to him.
