"I am falling in love with you and it annoys
me." He shoved his hands through his hair again, his frustration palpable
from across the room. "You with your paint and your secrets and your
clumsiness and—"
"Hey, now, I am not clumsy."
"See right there! You did it again." He suddenly smiled and
walked toward her. "You are maddening on every level and I cannot bear the
thought of leaving you, yet you keep trying to get me to go to places like
Africa. Why do you do that?"
There were those deadly dimples again. She backed toward the
bathroom, the word 'love' hanging in the room between them. Had he really said
he thought he was falling in love with her?
She lifted up the hem of her paint smeared t-shirt and teased him
with a glimpse of her abdomen. "Shower with me. I wonder how I say that in
Italian?"
"Voglio fare una doccia
con voi...or something close to that." He pulled his shirt over his
head and tossed it away. Without breaking eye contact, he unzipped his jeans,
pushed them down his thighs, and kicked them aside. "Did I lose anything
in translation?"
She looked down at
his naked body and gulped down access saliva. "I think we're
understanding each other perfectly."
