Take a Swing

Part 7

Christian is back knocking on the door in a solid 20 minutes. "Ugh men, never understand what it takes to get ready." I say out loud to myself before yelling "IT'S OPEN!!" I had my dress on, my hair was ready and I was working on my makeup when he knocked on the door to the bathroom that was partially open, but he wanted to make sure respectfully that I was dressed.

"Hi!" I said while curling my eyelashes while sitting the counter top of the bathroom.

It took him a second to respond, i figured he was just confused as to why I was sitting on the counter top.

"Hey." He replied finally, just as I was finishing putting my mascara on.

"Do you think you could help me down? I don't know how I got up here in the first place." I said with a giggle.

Christian walks over to the counter, I flip my legs around. He grabs the side of my thigh to pick me up. I grab a hand full of his arms, and let me tell you that boy works out. He swooped me right off of the counter in a matter of milliseconds.

"You look amazing." He stated, hands still around me.

"Tha..." I started before I was cut off.

"No. Like I really mean it, you're the most beautiful person I've ever met."

"Oh please" I giggle and continued.

"I think you're just under the Florence Nightingale Effect." I told him.

"The what?" He asked in complete confusion.

"You know where a caregiver develops feelings for a patient." I told him.

"Sexy, and smart. You've got it all Johnston." He said while smirking.

"Not really, I heard it on back to the future!" I said.

"Now I definitely know you're a nerd!" He said while laughing.

"Back to the Future happens to be my favorite movie Christian! It's funny and it's exciting to think about maybe one day we'll have time travel available to us."

"Oh I see, YOU'RE A TIME TRAVELER! Don't tell me you're my mom..." He said sarcastically while laughing.

"Lets go get dinner Yelich, It's late!!"

With that we headed out.
