“But before we begin, can we be sort of sad that after a certain point in the later seasons—”
He cuts me off, “There were no more cameos, cool guests.”
“Yes.”
I don’t believe in love at first sight, but this boy is winning me over.
So, we start.
“Rita Wilson,” I say.
“Treat Williams,” he counters.
“That was a heartbreaking episode. Former football player with dementia. Next. How about Martha Stewart, for about two seconds?” I volunteer. “She was awesome.”
“She was,” he agrees.
We play this silly game, and then I randomly reach out my hand and grab his. “I’mma call you Davey.” The drinks have absolutely kicked in.
“Nope,” he says confidently.
“Then Daviday. Like you’re Italian.”
“Also, nope.”
“Rock-Star-Hair Guy.”
He smiles, but shakes his head. “Again, not happening.”
“I got it! The Big D,” I suggest as I wave a hand around. “Oh, wait! I didn’t mean it like that!” Even in my boozy state, I can feel my blush, so I lean in and whisper, “Like, I don’t know what’s going on in that area. It could be terrible.”
Dave jolts and then laughs. “Thanks for the concern, but it’s certainly not terrible. I’ve never had any complaints.”
“Of course you haven’t. No girl finds herself in an unsatisfying dick situation and complains in the moment. She saves that conversation for later with her girlfriends.”
He frowns. “So, I could have an ‘unsatisfying dick situation’ and not know it?”
I take a sip of my drink. “You could.”
“Well, that’s fucking unsettling.”
“Only if you have a reason to be unsettled.”
“I do not.”
Maybe it’s the booze or the job stress, or maybe it’s just me being single and on vacation, but I smile and leave my lounge chair. “Prove it.” My voice is giddy and taunting as I walk away.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been with someone who has turned me on the way he does. If ever.
He’s serious and sexy in his reply. “Happy to.”
We stumble back to my room, and I immediately pull off my shirt because I am nearly shaking, kind of desperate. I want this boy.
“I totally wanted to do that,” he says with a smile.
“Sorry,” I say breathlessly. “I couldn’t wait.”
“I’ll rip your clothes off next time,” he promises. “It’ll take less than a heartbeat.”
