Our gazes lock, and our mouths gravitate towards each other. “I guess I’ll have to work harder, then.”Īnd just like that, we’re in Lust Land. I always want more.”ĭrew’s voice drops suggestively. He smirks-in that way that makes my stomach tighten-as he adds, “Like us.” Han, on the other hand, will keep up with her. She’ll eat a weakling like Luke for breakfast. And Mackenzie-like Leia-is going to be smart, strong, and powerful. Why would you want Mackenzie with someone like that?” “And he’s obviously a playboy! A womanizer. “That’s the Millennium Falcon to you,” Drew interrupts. Always running off in his space cruiser-” Mackenzie turns her head from Drew to me, like she’s watching a match at Wimbledon. “If you decide you want to get married, Mackenzie-someday-it should be to a guy like Han.” By the time she’s old enough to drive it, they should be about even. I say Drew should just buy her a Ferrari now. Did you miss the Bad Word Jar that’s sitting on the coffee table? Yeah-it’s almost full. Mackenzie reaches for her calculator and adds ten to the tab. “Luke is a whiny little bitch until Return of the Jedi.”

“When you fall in love? Go for a guy like Luke.” I shake my head and look down at Mackenzie, who sits between us. He doesn‘t have to say he loves her-look at everything he’s done for her. Prepare to be tutored in the finer points of male logic. He sits up, giving me his full attention.

“Why didn’t he just say he loves her too?” “The man is most likely about to die, and the woman he’s wanted all this time finally tells him she loves him-and what does he say? I know? What kind of line is that?”ĭrew looks genuinely shocked. Alexandra and Steven asked us to watch her for the afternoon.ĭrew’s eyes don’t stray from the plasma. There we are-on the floor, snuggled under a pile of pillows and blankets, eating popcorn-while Han Solo is about to be frozen in carbonite. You know when you get your hair highlighted? And after just a day or two you can’t remember what you looked like before? Can’t imagine a time when your hair wasn’t this vibrant, multifaceted shade? It’s a lot like that. We’re watching The Empire Strikes Back now.ĭrew and I have been living together for just over a month. According to Drew, the last three “suck ass.” Apparently, all the secrets of life can be found in George Lucas’s films. Not in the same way women love Titanic or The Notebook-I cry every time I watch them.
