Keen As Mustard
Oliver sits beside you on the sofa and puts his arm around your shoulders. "What did I miss?"
"He almost got bit by a cobra and now he's chasing after a black mamba. Why's he doing that?!"
He smiles. "So he can grab its tail."
"And get bit."
"Very rarely." The two of you are in hour three of a Crocodile Hunter marathon on TV.
"I wish he'd be more careful. This show makes me so nervous."
"I thought you liked it."
"I do." You smile. "He's cute. And very brave. And totally insane. Reminds me of someone I know very well." You kiss Oliver on the cheek and resume watching the program.
After about ten minutes, you feel his eyes watching you. When you turn to face him, Oliver jumps onto his feet on the sofa and grabs your shoulders. "What have we got here?" he says in a loud Australian accent. "What a little beauty!" He takes your shoulders and pushes you down on your stomach on the couch.
"Oliver what are you doing?" you manage to ask between giggles.
"Lets see if this ones a boy or a girl!" He rolls you over and begins tickling you unmercifully. "Oh yes, this ones a little girl."
You slap at his hands. "Did you see that? She tried to tag me! Naughty little croc!" The tickling only gets worse.
"Stop it! I! Can't! Breathe!"
He leans down closer to you, easing off the attack. "Look at those eyes. Terri's going to be upset. I think I'm in love."
You arch an eyebrow. "Think?"
He closes the distance between you and kisses you for a very long time.
