Through the Lens

Indeed. It’ll be nice to be back there. Get away for a bit. I think we’re staying for a week or two. I’m not sure we actually have a set date to come back yet. I’d be concerned if he didn’t do a good job for you. 

I’m happy for you, I know how much you love Paris. Now with your man, it will be even better. Ohh, a long trip. Enjoy it! So would I. Maybe it could be a plan to keep other people away from my weirdly decorated house. But he’s picking out great stuff, I’m lucky to have him.

That wasn’t my intention, simply stating that wanting to be in peak physical health isn’t something that should be looked down on. Why not? If you’re friends with Sebastian and the jet is free I’m almost positive, knowing him, that he would offer it in a heartbeat.

Neither is a nice lazy day on the couch. They’re both nice at their own time. Oh, I know, he offered, but then my homework would never be on time and I can’t just travel all the time, as much as I’d love to.

No. She didn’t. I have already done that. Thats why I wouldn’t be surprised if she turned up at the tire shop again.

That sucks. Maybe tell your coworkers about here her so when she shows up they can make up an excuse about you not being there?

We’d been talking about going sometime in the summer.. it just came up a little quickly. But he seems ready to meet them. I would trust him to decorate for me. I’m sure he’ll do a good job for you!

The soon the better right? You staying there for a bit or just the weekend? I’d ope he would do a good home in his boyfriend’s house. If anything, it’s where he’s sleep when he’s over. But I trust him, his own apartment is great.

He is. But I would say that, being his father.

Maybe it’s not really a bad thing, especially if I get to crawl into your lap while kissing you. It is my favorite seat, after all. And there’s never a time when I will turn down a kiss from you. Okay, I promise I won’t go overboard at IKEA. You have to eat more than just ramen.

You can do all the time, I won’t complain. You’re always warm and cuddly. Neither would I, your kisses are too nice to turn down. Okay, then we can go now. It will be fun, shopping with you.

I pretty much told her that before. And I thought that was it. I mean, that was a while ago. I wasn’t expecting her to think we were still together.

Damn, she really didn’t get the hint. Maybe she is just trying to start something again? Just cut her off, block her number.

No, but I wasn’t talking this specific case. I got over things pretty quickly but we were talking in a general sense. Spanish sounded so ugly I just… couldn’t do it. Not when others spoke it, but it doesn’t sound good when I do. French just rolls off the tongue and I got the hang of it pretty quickly. Maybe? Which was kind of my point, but alas.

Yeah, I guess. Spanish isn’t ugly. French isn’t ugly, I just barely understand it. We just don’t like butchering the languages. But it’s cool that you got the hang of it, I never was able to get more than some random words

We’re going the weekend, so I’ll keep you updated on how it went. I think they’ll go easy on him.. I think. That sounds really nice. I can’t wait to see how it all turns out. 

Already? You gave Hunter time to mentally prepare for meeting the family? I’ll wait for news, I’ll keep you updated on the IKEA trips me and Blaine will have. I trust Blaine, I’m sure I’ll have a cool house to show.

You want me to walk around the house naked? That leaves nothing to the imagination. And I have to wear the speedo to be your cabana boy. I’ll get a little tray and ask if you want a spritz every now and then. I love the kitchen. I’m definitely cooking in it asap. IKEA and I are best friends. I like to go there sometimes just to look at stuff. Actually getting to buy it is a dream come true.

As if it was a bad thing. In all fairness, I would ditch the clothes as well, if you asked. So, if I ask for kisses all the time, will you kiss me? We can cook dinner there, too, I miss doing that. I’m not a sugar daddy yet, can’t blow my cards just yet. Or I’ll be living off of ramen.

It’s so much fun! Seeing them figure out how to do it finally is really satisfying. I think I was born to work with kids.

I can imagine. Kids are cute, specially the young ones, before they turn into annoying teens.

Yeah. Wait, really? You’ve never seen someone excited to work? Actually, now that I think about it, almost everyone I know is really nonchalant about getting a job after college. Huh. 

I mean, people want to get jobs, but more as a obligation than something exciting to have. But I guess teaching sports to kids  is more fun than everything else.

You just want to see me in it. I mean, should I just wear it around the house? Am I going to be some kind of cabana boy for you? I mean, because I’m okay with that. I like the apartment. I like the sunny windows and I have so many ideas. I can’t wait to get your stuff unloaded and then go to IKEA. Literally IKEA is calling my name right now.

I mean, can you blame me? You look good in them. Or in nothing, if you want my honest opinion. You can be my cabana boy, if you want. Yeah, I like it, too. The big kitchen and all, it will be cool for when I have people over. Trips to IKEA are always fun, they also have really good meatballs.

Totally a useful thing to tell people when they’re going through things. “Just move on and deal with it.” I wonder if people who speak French as their mother language would say the same. Worse than math, worse than a picky home ec teacher, worse even than Spanish and I only lasted a semester in Spanish.

Getting over charged for a pizza and a car problem aren’t the worst things to go through. Spanish is cool, much easier. Maybe my time so close to the border helped, but it’s much easier than french. I think they find it easy, being their mother tongue and all.
