Back at it Again (One-on-One)

“Mission: Catnapped has begun.”

“I’m also paying. Being mean gets you far.”

 

“Arlo likes Mo, so we’ll see.”

***

“That makes no sense. I asked you on the date.”

 

She rolled her eyes.

“Oddly enough, I believe you.”

***

“Just let me do this.”

 

She squinted him, small smile on the corner of her lips.

“I changed my mind. I don’t trust you.”

***

“Right,” he said slowly, sounding as if he didn’t believe her.

 

“You grinned. That’s suspicious.”

***

“What can I say? I like paying for you.”

 

“And that gave you happiness?”

***

“How?”

 

“I don’t,” she agreed. “You’d lie in order to hug me.”

***

“It is so! I want to do it.”

 

“You did and you have! You said I was short.”

***

“No, it is not. I like doing it.”

 

She punched him playfully.

“I am below average.”

***

“Maybe I’m a fake person.”

 

“But not short.”

***

“Now you’re getting it.”
