Playing 21 Qs

“What kind of lover are you”, the card asked. He stood there glimpsing at me with an inquisitive passion. I knew he wanted something raw and deep. Good thing honesty is my greatest attribute. “Give me a kiss, and I’ll tell you”, I said teasingly. While sitting before each other on the ground, he leaned over and pecked me on my lips, and returned to the position he sat awaiting my answer. I lightly licked my lips, and made a gentle smacking sound as though unsatisfied, and craving more. “You call that a kiss?” I retorted with a sly smile. His eyes widened for an instant, and a smile grew on his lips in response to my playful banter. Immediately, without a moments notice, he stood upon his knees, leaned forward, and stared deeply into my eyes. Not expecting such a show of force, I rocked back as his face drew near. His hands caught my head and face, and held me firmly from falling backward. He drew me in as his mouth and head turned to match the contour of my own. Before I was aware, it was over, and he stood still on his knees before me, eyes at peace, staring down at me. “Now, answer the question”, he gently demanded knowing I couldn’t deny him.

“I’m an open book and a romantic. I want to tell you everything, but you never ask the right questions. I’m too busy thinking about you that I forget to tell you about myself. When you first caught my attention, I was blind to everyone else but you. When you’re not around, I’m subconsciously building a list of activities that only you and I can do together to build memories we cherish always. At the same time, I just want you to meet my friends so you can see the goofy but confident side of me that I see in myself. Above all, if I were told we’d only be together for a year, I’d want to make the most out of every day instead of end us knowing it wouldn’t last. That is the kind of lover I am”.
