This is a two-way street, woman,”
Kyle growled.
“What was that one thing?” she
asked, blinking in consternation.
“Let’s put it this way… I can tell
when a woman hasn’t had a lot of
sexual experience. Either that or
you have shitty ass taste in men
who are selfish in bed. But you
deliberately cultivate this flower
child, free love, come-and-get-it,
sex goddess persona.”
Her mouth worked for several
seconds. “I have too had a lot of
sex!” She cringed and looked side
to side, then spoke in a lower tone,
“I mean, not a lot…but plenty.” Of
course, most of it had been in the
same calendar year, but he didn’t
need to know that.
“So shitty taste, then,” he
shrugged. “Alright, fine. Mystery
solved.”
“Uh,” she huffed. “What’s that say
about you?”
“Nothing, since I picked you.”
“No, you didn’t.”
“Yes, I did. I am currently the only
person in this relationship who’s
done any conscious picking.”
“We are not in a relationship!”

“Sure you can. Technically
speaking, it was you who made the
first move.”

She reached up and gently traced
his swollen lip again then laid her
head back against his shoulder.

“No, I didn’t!”

“That’s what boyfriends do,” he
continued.

“I guess that’s just how us
Andersons roll. When we decide to
do something, or change our minds
about something and go in a
different direction we just…” Kyle
skipped his hands together, making
a clapping sound, “…do it. Some,
like Kate, take forever to get to that
decision, but there’s no hesitancy
on the course of action once the
decision’s been made.”

“She says while sitting on my
lap… hours after having
exchanged bodily fluids—”
“Stop!” she laughed and smacked
him again.
He chuckled and squeezed her.

Demi narrowed her eyes, mouth
slightly parted. “You wouldn’t be
saying that if you’d participated in
any of the wedding planning with
her.”
“That has never been about
doubting her decision to marry
Dominic and everything about
Kate’s bad habit of trying to please
everyone even knowing it is
simply not possible to please
everyone at the same time,” he
said, then stood up and grabbed her
again, scooping her off her feet.

She gasped and reflexively
grabbed his shoulders. He sat back
down on the chair and tucked her
head with his again.

“Thank you,” she whispered after a
moment.
He answered with another kiss to
her head. She was willing to admit
the ‘solid, dependable type’ did
have its benefits.
She sighed and squeezed him back.
“You’re a good man, Kyle
Anderson.”
“Eh, I’m alright,” Kyle kissed her
again. “I just wanted to let you
know… I mean, I try to ease my
girlfriends into this, but… my
family’s sort of insane. Just so you
know.”

She sighed with a sudden
realization, “You’re just trying to
distract me, aren’t you?”

She laughed so hard she started
crying, and that seemed so silly
that it made her laugh some more.
He rocked her a bit and it wasn’t
long before she dozed off again,
held tight in his arms.

He smiled at her, “Maybe. A little
bit.”

“Says who?”
“You are a maddeningman…” she
replied, utterly flabbergasted. “It
takes two people to be in a
relationship. You can’t just wake
up one morning and decide you’re
going to be with someone.”

She laughed and smacked his
chest, “Are not.”
