Mmmm yummy!
"The village idiot and I knew each other in college. He was on the rugby team—“
Bauer clears his throat. "Uh, that's captain of the rugby team, Ice Q. Not to mention collegiate all-American, three years running."
Remi waves her hand at him dismissively. "I made the mistake of going to some rugby party—“
"Division One All Collegiate Championship Celebration,” Bauer interrupts.
Remi glares at him again. “Division one all collegiate championship celebration," she mimics. “And I was chosen to be the Rugby Queen." She lowers her forehead to one hand, hiding her face as if embarrassed.
"Is that like Homecoming Queen?" Lexie asks.
Bauer chuckles. “Not exactly."
Remi shakes her head slowly. "It's someone—“
"A chick,” Bauer says.
She turns to him. "Do you want to tell this story?"
"No. But I do want to make sure you getallthe facts straight when you tell it.” He motions for her to continue.
She rolls her eyes at him then looks back at Lexie and me. “It's a woman," she says, then purposefully looks at him as if getting permission.
He smiles, then interjects, “A beautiful one, usually the most gorgeous chick there."
Remi smiles. I’m pretty sure she’s flattered.
She continues, “Who gets carried around on different guy's shoulders all night and gets to tell everyone else what to do and they all give her drinks.”
“So, she's usually pretty drunk by the end of the night,” Bauer says.
Remi rolls her eyes again and takes a deep drink of her margarita. Somehow Remi never gets brain freeze like Lexie and I do when she takes big sips of icy drinks. I laugh to myself thinking maybe it's because she reallyisthe Ice Queen.
“And... " Bauer leans forward on his elbows and looks at her expectantly.
Remi closes her eyes and shakes her head. “So, at the end of the night, the captain of the winning team and the Rugby Queen share a public kiss and are then escorted to a private room for the Neanderthal collegiate version of fifteen minutes in heaven."
Bauer sits back in his chair again, looking very pleased with himself.
"So, you guys kissed?" I ask to clarify.
Bauer chuckles.
"We did,” Remi confirms.
"So, what am I not getting? What's the big deal?" Lexie asks, confused.
Remi looks at Bauer and he gestures to her to continue. "I, ah, liked the kiss," she says blushing slightly.
I look at them both, still not really seeing the problem, except for the fact that I am totally jealous that Remi has kissed Bauer.
“I’ll say you did! Tell ‘em how much,” Bauer says.
Remi rolls her eyes at him. If she keeps it up, I’m going to have to start counting the number of times she does. This could be a new world’s record.
“I told him I think I loved him, asked him to never stop kissing me, and then,” Remi says, hesitating. “Crawled my way up his body, wrapped my legs around his waist and pretty much started to dry hump him in front of everyone."
