I Fall In Love Far Too Quickly

Would You Call?

"Nate?" I hear Maureen trudging around.

"In here." I answer with a light smile.

"Where?"

"Kitchen."

"Oh. Hi. Nate, I was wondering if we could go to the fair tonight?" She makes a pouty face.

"What? Why? I thought you didn't like fairs."
I tug her down on my lap as I stay seated.

"Well, I mean I don't like the crowds. But I think we should go. I want you to have fun."

"I do have fun."

She points around, "What, sitting in the kitchen?"
I nod.

"What were you doing in here anyways?"

I push her up then stand, "Nothin', just thinking, I guess."

She smiles, "Alright Nate, surre. Get your scrawny ass in the car, let's go."

I laugh as we go.

When we got there, we walked around. That is, until Maureen had me go on rides with her. I almost threw up on the spinning saucer. I still feel woozy from it.

I look over at Maureen, "How would you feel about me throwing up on you?"

She smiles sheepishly, "It would turn me on."

"Woah, really?" 
I wink at her and bite my lip.

She grabs my hand and holds it while we walk, "Of course! I love the warm feeling."

I watch her closely as she leads us by someone.
"You know, I think yours would be extra chunky. You barely chew."

I laugh, "Oh sorry, I could chew better if that's what you would like."

She rolls her eyes.
"Nate, you'll be the death of me."

"I'm glad you don't like that though. I wouldn't be able to do it."

We seen another ride and decided to get on. It was exciting. Maureen heard some arguing and looked over at me.

"She doesn't get it."

She must've been able to make out what the couple was saying. She must've seen my confused face, too, because she quickly explained that he was breaking up with her and said not to call him again.

I found it kinda sad.

"I wouldn't want you to forget me when you're gone. Would you call?"

Maureen began seriously, "Not if-"

I interrupted her, asking once more, "Would you call?"
I wanted a specific answer.

She kisses me strongly, "Yes."

That's what I wanted to hear.
