Slice of Heaven

Day 10. R-day minus 4.

Last night was Heaven.

Ryan came over, and my mom made empanadas and chipotle mashed potatoes for dinner. When she laid a saucer of guacamole next to his plate, he said, "No, thanks, Mrs. Sanchez. I don't eat avocado dip." Stevie started laughing at him, and even my dad chuckled. I said, "Daddy!" and my mom said "Stevie!" at the same time, both of us chastising the more immature members of our family.

Then I turned to Ryan and said, "It's not avocado dip, Ryan." I started to call him baby, but that probably would have made him uncomfortable. "It's guacamole. You use it to deaden the spices, so they don't burn your mouth. Look. I'll show you." I took a slice of lime from the plate in the center, and then reached across the table to dip it lightly into his guacamole. Then I sucked on the edge of the lime.

I guess I must have been doing something that looked sexy to him, cause when I glanced up at him to see if he was watching, the look in his eyes said he was about to throw me on the dining room table and ravish me. But then it was my turn to feel uncomfortable. I blushed, and slipped the lime out of my mouth. I couldn't figure what was so sexy about that. I peeked to the side, to see if my folks had noticed, but my mom was just now laying out the potatoes, and my dad was pouring his tea.

But Stevie had been watching me. "Randa? What about grace?"

"Heh. Oops!" I smiled at her guiltily, and placed the lime on my plate. "Sorry. And it's Miranda, Stevie."

Stevie nodded, as if she understood perfectly, and said, "Randa."

Ryan gave me this totally evil grin.

After dinner, we all sat in the den and watched this dvd that Ryan had brought over, Shall We Dance?, that stars Richard Gere and Jennifer Lopez. I know a lot of people don't like Jennifer, but I admire her. No, I adore her. Stevie fell asleep on the floor in front of the tv, and I sat on the couch with my baby and nestled my head on his chest, and wrapped my arms around his waist, and he wrapped his arms around my shoulders, and we snuggled, and watched the movie in silence.

You are so funny, girl! You had "no idea" what you were doing that looked so sexy to Ryan? I was ROFL when I read that. Come on, Randy, get a clue!!!

Anyway, how was the movie? I haven't seen it, but that Richard Gere, he's pretty hot for an old guy, don't you think?
