"Ezra!"
I stop spinning in the chair and see three different figures of her. "Yes?"
"You are making me nauseous. Please stop."
"I'm sorry." After a few minutes, my eyesight goes back to normal and I stare at my girlfriend who has her eyes glued to her phone. I spin around in her chair to face her desk. I grab her sticky notes and a pen. I click the pen continuously as I try to think of what to doodle.
"Stop clicking the pen, Ezra."
I glance behind me and say sorry. I set the pen down and push the sticky notes away.
How am I supposed to grab her attention?
I grab my phone.
Hey
Hi
Babe
Baby
Babe

You
Doing
Talk
To
Me
Please
I
Miss
You
Arms wrap around my neck and she kisses my cheek. "Let's go walk around."
"Okay."
E×L
"Don't you dare drop me, Ezra!"
"I got you," I say as I continue walking with Madeline on my back.
She relaxes and rests her head on mine.
"Hey, Ezra?"
"Yeah?"
"I like you."
I chuckle. "I like you as well." She plays with my hair. "What's on your mind, M?"
She sighs. "I don't understand why you are here with me."
"I'm here because God approves."
She's quiet for a minute. "I'm still trying to figure out this God thing."
"Jesus is a pretty cool dude. I'm here if you ever want to talk about that topic."
"I just feel like I have to because you believe that way."
I carefully set her down on the ground and take her hands in mine. "Please don't feel that way. I will not pressure you into anything. We can disagree on things; it is perfectly normal."
She smiles at me. "Thank you."

"Why are we doing this again?" I question Madeline.
"Because we were bored and you can't say no to me."
I grumble to myself as I button up the onesie. I step outside the Walmart dressing room. I make eye contact with the Walmart employee and blush.
Come on, Madeline.
Madeline walks out and I bark at her twice. She starts screaming, "TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES." She makes up moves and keeps screaming. The employee walks away and I can't help but laugh.
She bursts out laughing and wraps her arms around me. "We are buying these," she states and kisses me.
And now I am 30 dollars poorer.
