Daniel grabbed his keys from the hook in his kitchen, Adrienne making a face from the table.
"Where are you going sha?" she asked from her computer as he grabbed his jacket from the back of the chair.
"Library, want me to bring anything back?"
Adrienne made a face.
"Why are you going to the library..." she asked, confused, Daniel's expression now changing to match hers.
"To get a book...you know, front cover, back cover, pages in the middle..."
"Smartass," she said, pointing to a Daniel pile on his dining table, "I got you a Kindle for Valentine's Day."
"A holiday you don't believe in I might add..."
"Excuse me for taking one small step towards normality and adhering to the current social paradigm by buying my boyfriend a gift."
"It's a tablet," he tried instead.
"It's an electronic library," she argued.
"But I have to buy the books!"
Adrienne made a face.
"First, that shouldn't be a problem as I see your checkbook now because you abuse the privilege of having a smart woman in your life..."
"So now we discuss finances?"
"AND," she continued, "I signed you up for the borrow service so you can search for whatever you are about to burn gas for and read it right here in your underwear."
"So that's what this is about?" he laughed, "You want me to lay around reading in my underwear."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes, and I can do that, when I get back, holding a REAL book in my hands," Daniel said with a smile, "In fact, I don't even need to wear the underwear..."
"Then I highly doubt any reading will get done, which means the entire trip would have been in vain," she countered.
"As would be the Kindle purchase."
Adrienne frowned.
"Why did I have to end up with a smart man?"
"You didn't have to, that was your mistake," he said with a smile.
"Bring me back some Greek yogurt. Non-fat, cherry, please."
He laughed, leaning to kiss her lips.
"Be back in an hour," he whispered, deciding not to tease her further and heading for the door.
He'd just made it to the Jeep when a thought popped into his head, an evil grin across his face. Pulling his phone from his pcket, he shot off a text, laughing at he did.
Unless YOU are planning on spending the day in your underwear, why don't you join me?
Though, if you chose the former, I won't complain.
As expected, she was outside five minutes later.
