Pru told me that her granddaughter is probably my type.
Mia
So another girl made you think of me?
Oliver
Your date made you think of me. What’s worse?
She sent a picture of her and my brother walking into a tattoo shop. She’s on a date with my brother…I’m an idiot.
Oliver
Fair point. In my defense, I don’t even know what her granddaughter looks like, but I know she isn’t my type. Which is why I was thinking of you.
I almost regret my words because it's probably too honest for her. I play a word on the board while Pru continues to rattle on about her granddaughter that I’m paying no attention to.
Mia
I’m not your type.
Oliver
What tattoo are you getting?
I ignore her comment because we both know she is exactly my type. Even though she is dead set on going on new dates, I know I am her type too. The attraction between us is hauntingly there.
Mia
Your name on my left ass cheek.
Oliver
Sexy. Send pictures.
Mia
You want to see my ass?
Oliver
Again? Absolutely.
Mia
Don’t remind me.
Oliver
Is that what you thought about when you had to go home and take care of yourself after your date with Davey? How my hands traced the curves of your ass under your dress when we danced?
If Mia was in front of me right now, she might hit me. But she’s not. And I’m feelingbrave.
Pru finally plays another word and I’m quick to respond with a high point word that even AJ would be proud of. I used to play with her a lot late on nights when she couldn’t sleep. It was never about winning though. Her brain just shuts off when she plays Scrabble and I know how important that is to her.
