“You just saidifwe end up together, notwhenwe end up together.”
“Oh.” She bit her lower lip and looked to the side. “I didn’t realize.”
“It’s fine,” I said with a groan. “I mean, let’s be realistic. You meet a guy and let him know you’re interested and he’s got you on the floor with his head between your legs. And I meet a man and let him know I’m interested and he gives me a quick snog and then darts off before I can even get him to the floor or the bed.”
“A quick snog?” Liv giggled.
“I’ve been watching British TV shows again.” I laughed. “I think snog sounds better than just saying kiss.”
“At least you’re not saying pash anymore.” She laughed.
“What’s wrong with pash?” I said indignantly. “I want to pash Aiden all night long.”
“It just sounds weird.”
“Tell that to an Australian,” I said with a smirk. “They will most probably throw a kangaroo in your face.”
“Yeah, let them try. I’ll throw a koala bear back at them.” She laughed. “I mean, who calls kissing pashing? It just doesn’t even make sense to me.”
“Pashing is a sexy term,” I said, though I didn’t really think it was that sexy. It was different, and to me different was cool.
“Are you still watching that show?”
“What show?”
“Dating in the Dark Australia?”
“Oh yeah.” I nodded. “I thought you were talking aboutHome and Away.”
“I thought you weren’t able to watch it anymore?”
“Yeah, I’m not. The guy that was uploading it onto YouTube got deleted or something.” I sighed. “That was a good show.”
“It looked like too much drama to me. And all the characters seemed so young and annoying.”
“Like I said, it was good.” I laughed. “It was full of drama and angst and half the girls had worse love lives than me.” I smiled happily, remembering all the drama from one of my favorite Australian soap operas. “Plus Australian men are so sexy.”
“Oh, Alice, you and your English and Australian guys.” Liv shook her head.
“I might end up marrying one if it doesn’t work out with Aiden. Foreign guys are hotter.”
“But then you’ll have to move.” Liv pouted.
“Yeah.” I nodded. “I’ll move to Oxfordshire or Sydney.”
“Why Oxfordshire or Sydney?” Liv looked confused.
“Oh, they just sound like good places to live, if I have to leave the States.”
“Uh, okay.” I could see that Liv was trying not to laugh. “What about Nigeria?”
“What about Nigeria?” I frowned. What did Nigeria have to do with anything?
“Didn’t a Nigerian prince ask you to marry him and send him ten thousand dollars?”
“Hahaha.” I laughed slightly as I remembered the scam email I’d gotten and almost fallen for. “Very funny.”
“Wouldn’t you like to live in Nigeria as well?” she asked with a grin. “Seeing as you want to live abroad and all.”
