plus, i work out

“Good. Thank you Jeremy. That means a lot to me… So how are you feeling about this whole thing?”

"I'm glad. I'm.. not really sure. I'm happy that if anyone, this is happening with you. It'll take some getting used to, and I won't lie, I'm pretty scared, but overall, it could be a good thing."

    “damn right i’m not little.”   

“Wow favorite? I feel so special. Now what do we want plain cheese,  chicken, pepperoni?”

"Absolutely. Hmm.. I think pepperoni with lots and lots of cheese."

       “oh sorry, so which one of my brothers do you prefer?” 

       “no!” she laughed when he picked her        up, looking around. “yes. yes they        definitely are. like, a lot. put me down,”        she slapped his shoulder gently before        looking down at him, shaking her head        and then kissing him back. “don’t pinch        my ass. i will kick you,” she warned with        a smile she just couldn’t help.

      she bit down her lower lip as she       looked at him, grinning slightly.        “yeah you are…” she said quietly.        “well you’re pretty awesome too.”

      he couldn't help the smile that       formed on his features, and       playfully, he nudged her side,       "you're pretty sweet when you       want to be, you know," he teased.

        “well now you sound crazy at          least,” she said, laughing softly. 

    “now, would you do that to little old me?”

   “i’ve been told that many times, that isn’t an answer, though.”

     “what do you say we go find a closet somewhere and you know?”

       he had no idea how much she        had looked at him like that before        he noticed she did it. “you don’t        seem crazy,” she mused.

       alice immediately made a small grimace        before listening to him with a frown on        her forehead that knitted her manicured        brows together, laughing a little when he        mentioned it was sexy as hell. “you’re just        a big, stupid, lovable bear. you know that        right?” she said, shaking her head as she        grinned and blushed softly. “yeah.”

       for that response, she received a big,        dopey grin. "hey, at least i'm lovable,        hmm?" he teased her, reaching over        and tucking her hair behind her ear.        "don't worry, i'm interpretting it in a        pretty awesome way in my head right        now, just so you know."

        “maybe more than shirtless…” she said with         a soft giggle, suddenly feeling the wall         behind her back and his hands sneaking         down to her hips. “jeremy, people are staring         even more. christ…” but of course she didn’t         exactly mind it and kissed him again.

        jeremy let out a laugh, smiling as he heard         her giggle. he couldn't help but let it fill him         up. hearing her note that people were looking,         he smirked, instantly taking the opportunity         to tease her more by scooping her up, lifting         her into his arms, holding her up against him,         "what about now? are they staring now?" he         smirked that much wider, kissing her again.

          “that is super-sappy. you           mean like this look–?”
