In the car, I returned the bag to Christopher and collapsed into the chair quietly. Christopher ruffled my hair affectionately with a smile. “Were you scared?”
I glared at him. “I was so frightened my legs went wobbly. Your mom saw me holding a bag full of condoms. I’m so embarrassed!”
Christopher burst out laughing and teased me for being a coward. I took a condom out of the bag and tossed it at him. “Hurry up and send me back home. You have a pretty date waiting for you at Clove Eatery, after all. Remember to take away some food for me later.”
“Do you want me to bring you back a couple’s set?” Christopher teased. “You’re jealous.”
“No, I’m not!” However, my denial sounded like the cover-up of a guilty person.
“Alright, you’re not jealous. By the way, I left something for you on the coffee table. After considering carefully, give me your answer. I’ll be waiting for you,” said Christopher out of nowhere.
When we arrived, Christopher gave me a steamy kiss and flashed his headlights three times as usual. He was about to leave when I yelled out, “Christopher, what does flashing the headlights thrice mean?”
“Why don’t you make a guess? Eve, I’ll wait for your correct answer.” With that, Christopher stepped on the accelerator and sped away. It just so happened that a car was driving past, so he flashed the headlights three times on purpose and stuck his head out of the window.
“If you get it correct, you’ll get a prize. Let’s see who gets the correct answer first. I still remember the story about the planes and love.” Christopher grinned.
I watched as his flashy sports car sped away. Pouting, I muttered to myself, “Why is he so mysterious? I’m sure I’ll be able to get it right!”
