"I don't know how to describe the way I feel"
Chapter 8
•••"I uhhhh. I uh - don't know what to say really. It's been a week Montgomery!"
"It doesn't take long to like someone. I guess I just have that charm. Now say the words!"
"The words" she joked.
"That was so funny I forgot to laugh" he deadpanned, looking into her eyes, as she sipped her water.
"If I admitted to it, what would you do?"
"I'd fist pump into the air. How does that sound?"
"And if I say no?"
"I'll walk out of Pop's and never speak to you again"
"Man that's harsh. I'm guessing you like me too?"
"Too? You like me back?"
"Huh? What?" The usually confident Kim faltered as she stumbled over her words.
"You said too!"
"And you said back!"
"So we both like each other? What the hell? I was not expecting this"
"I don't know how to describe the way I feel"
"I understand. I can't really put what I want to say into words. But I can tell you this: I want to ask you out and bang you senseless on my kitchen counter."
"Woahhhh. Chill dude!"
"So, will you go out with me?"
"Sure, but understand this: Keanu Reeves will always come before you."
"God we sound like we're married" he facepalmed as he held back a smile.
"So, what do you want to do partner?" She said, awkwardly linking arms with him.
"Sing some songs at your place?"
"How about yours?"
"Alright."
