The Truth Is Out There
You sit on the sofa next to Adam and hand him the bowl of popcorn. "What'd I miss?"
"Oh not much, he says it's UFO's, she says it's something scientific."
"So it's UFO's then?"
"Pretty much."
"When is she just going to learn to go with what he says?"
"Hey. She's a brilliant scientist. How else is she supposed to react to all his nutball theories?"
"Nutball perhaps, but not incorrect."
"You're only standing up for him cause you think he's a babe."
"Oh and I suppose you have higher motivations MagicMan?"
"Meaning?"
"Meaning I've seen you drool over her at least as much as I drool over him. And I didn't buy you a trenchcoat so that you would look more like her."
He smiles. "I'd have been rather worried if you had."
"You know what I mean."
"So is it my fault that I go for brains and looks and you go only for how good he looks in tight jeans?"
You put down the popcorn and look at him. "Looks like you've just explained our relationship."
"Don't get all testy I only meant...oh..."
"Oh?"
"Oh whoa!"
"Whoa what? We were arguing here!"
"I think they're going to kiss!!"
"What?!" You turn back, watching the screen intently.
"They are! They are! They're going to kiss!"
"No way! He's far too evil to give us that." Adam's hand has come to cover your own, squeezing it in his excitement.
"Yes!"
"Oh wow!"
"Yes!"
"Oh boy!!!"
You both watch as the two figures on the screen move closer, closer, and then suddenly jump apart.
"FREAKING BEE!!!!!!!!" You scream in unison. Adam throws a pillow at the screen. You move into the bedroom, leaving him cursing at the screen.
After a few moments, the living room has quieted down. "Love, you're missing the rest of the movie. Love?"
You appear in the doorway, wearing the trenchcoat he bought you, and only the trenchcoat. He turns to look at you, does a double take, and then smiles. "I've found something you might want to investigate," you say.
"Really? Anything to do with heavenly bodies?"
You toy with the belt of your coat as he stands and approaches. "I think you will have to decide for yourself." He leans forward to kiss you. Seconds before your lips meet, you gasp and pull back holding your neck. Adam looks at you in utter shock. You smile, and then crack up.
"You little!" He scoops you up over his shoulder, giggling and carries you into the bedroom, slamming the door behind the two of you.
