Slowing Down
Mike: I really don’t think I will.
He leans in to kiss me and I push him back.
Me: We are moving too fast. A break, please, so we can get to know each other.
Mike: Ok, I think I can handle that.
Me: You will have too because if you try to make a move, you will be sleeping out in the sand.
Mike: That is cruel.
Me: Hey, it is either me or the sand.
Mike: Ok. So where do we start?
Me: We start by asking each other questions. I ask you one and you answer then you ask me one and I answer.
Mike: OK, but who gets to say you go first.
Me: Me.
Mike: Ok, ask away.
Me: Let’s start with, do you have a girlfriend.
Mike: Do you really think I am like that? No, I do not have a girlfriend.
Me: Sorry, just had to ask.
Mike: Ya and so do I. Do you have a boy friend?
Me: Me! No!
Mike: Good.
