Just A Little Speechless

Drew was supposedly grounded for the rest of eternity.That was the initial punishment. However, Drew happens to have mastered the art of sucking up. He did all of his chores, plus extra, and was extremely interested in everything his mother had to say. By the end of the week, he was ungrounded.
Me: Don’t you think you’re pushing it by coming over the day you’re free?
He was driving me home. Him (chuckling): Don’t worry; I bought her some roses this morning as a thank you for putting up with such a terrible son.
I stared at him. Me:You’re unbelievable.
He shrugged, turning down my street. Him: I’ve had lots of practice.
Me (skeptically): You typically spend all night at girl’s houses?
He frowned. Him: That’s not what I meant.
Me: Uh-huh.
He pulled to a stop in front of my house, turning towards me with a worried look. He took my face in his hands. Him: Cynthia, do you still not trust me?
I sighed. Me: It’s not that… It’s just…
As I stared into his beautiful eyes I momentarily forgot how to speak.
