Out of Bounds

But I especially love my guy.

After I finish my margarita, and Jason and Ally head off, Drew takes my hand. “Hey, surfing angel, any chance you want to head to the pier and play whack-a-mole?”

“You do know that sounds vaguely dirty, right?”

He smacks my rear as I stand. “I do know that. And if you want to go home and play whack-a-mole with me right now, you won’t even have to twist my arm.”

I give him a narrow-eyed stare, like I’m weighing his offer. Then I nod. “Let’s play on the pier first. Oh, and on the way home, it would be great if you can get me a Slurpee.”

He squeezes my hand. “And if you get a brain freeze, I’ll just cure it myself,” he says, then gives me a kiss. With tongue, of course.

Maybe we’re corny, but we’re also happy, and if I had to choose a few words to describe how happy I am with Drew it would be naughtily. Incredibly. And blissfully.
