You looked on the shelves trying to find the bag the purple bag of sweet, spicy chili Doritos for the cookout you were having. You finally found them, on the top shelf.

You groaned.

'Why did they change the spot of the chips?'

You stood up on your tippy-toes trying to reach, but to no avail. You just couldn't reach them. This wasn't new a new situation to you. "You need some help ma'am?" an taller, male employee asked. You shook your head. "No" you answered. You didn't want anyone's help, it made you feel like a child; here you are at twenty-three years old and you're barely 4'8. You got into your car and drove home where you and Eric were hosting a cookout.

"Eric would be happier with a taller girl..Ya' know, like his 5'11 supermodel ex?" a voice in your head whispered.

You walked inside and was greeted by Michael Crabtree and his girlfriend. "Teenie Weenie!" Michael yelled. You put a fake smile on your face, trying to hid the sadness. Every single person said something about your height when you walked past them. Names like: Shrimp, short stuff, munchkin, squirt, were the norm. Patrick's girlfriend, who was helping host the cookout, walked over to you. "Where are the chips?" she asked. "I couldn't reach them" you admitted frowning, walking through the kitchen and  into the backyard. Eric was cooking next to Patrick Willis on the grill. He turned towards you. "Babe? What's wrong?" he questioned, walking over to you. You didn't answer him. "Hey, answer me" he pleaded. You finally opened your mouth.

"I'm short" you said, simply.

You looked up to see his face because he was 6'1. "What's wrong with that?" "I always feel like a little kid. All. The. Time." Eric looked back at Patrick, he took that as his cue to leave.Eric sat down in a chair, almost like he wanted to get down to your level, however, he was still taller than you sitting down. "I love your height" he informed, as he rested his hands on your tiny waist. "Really?" He nodded. "It's cute but sexy at the same time. I like that you're so much smaller than me, Bri." You hugged him. "I just thought that you would want you ex back, because she taller and better looking-" "Briseida, stop. You are the most beautiful woman in the world. I always love you, regardless of your height."
