"Okay I lied to you. I am keeping a secret. I haven't told anyone this, but I think it's time."
"I'm gonna say three words. But don't freak out okay."
I hesitated for a sec trying to read his eyes before I finally stuttered out "Um sure okay"
He lifted my chin looked at me with his amazingly gorgeous blue eyes. His lips got closer as he opened his mouth to speak.
"Sweetheart, I..."
I stared into his eyes, my mouth open in anticipation and my breathing getting heavier.
"love..."
My hands were clammy and I could feel my body getting sweaty. Was he going to tell me that he loved me! Are we gonna get married? He's beautiful and I'm gorgeous, so does that mean we would have beautiful babies? What if we twins named Zach and Cody? He's dumb so hopefully he'll be able to charm someone into giving him a job because having to raise twins with only one source of income is no bueno. Money adds up when you're buying groceries. Sale prices can trick you - sometimes its only five cents off but the yellow tags are so tempting you just wanna buy more because its on sale. Of course, Im never finessed cause I am a professional grocery shopper. Ain't no fake sale gon' trick me. Maybe I'll become one of those coupon ladies when I grow up. I would be like the godfather...
"raisin bran"
"I love raisin bran."
Wait hold the fajiggin phone. Did my ears hear correctly? Um bish, did he just say: "I love raisin bran."
I looked up at his smirk, a look of disbelief on my face. Firstly, that was four words. Second of all, WHAT IS FUCKING WRONG WITH YOU! YOU LIKE FUCKING RASAIN BRAND?!?! WERE YOU DROPPED AS A BABY! YOU NEED TO GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER! ARE YOU HIGH RIGHT NOW? YOU BETTER BE HIGH CAUSE THAT IS ONLY EXCUSE YOU CAN HAVE FOR LIKING THAT PIECE OF CRAP CEREAL! IT DOESN'T EVEN DESERVE TO BE CEREAL! YOU DISGUST ME! GET OUT MY FACE YOU CRAP LOVING NASTY BUTT!"
I attempted to calm myself and closed my eyes muttering a quick prayer.
"Oh cereal gods please forgive this lost man for saying those words. He has been infected and must be confused yet I will attempt to cure him as best as I can. Please help provide me with the things and abilities needed to guide this poor man back into the light. Amen."
His smirk was now wiped off his face and replaced by a shocked and confused one.
"Why are you praying?"
I sighed at him. This boy is dumber than I thought.
"Im praying for you to be cleansed from your madness and the insanity that his swallowed you up. Im praying for the demon inside of you to come out cause you are not yourself right now. You are a confused soul who is unfortunately in love with raisin bran."
I shifted through my backpack before finally finding what I was looking for and making a note to thank the cereal gods later for the cure.
"Here, have a snickers bar."
