Holding up a lime green alien doll I exclaim in a squeaky voice, "Take me to your leader!" Xander flashes me one of his infamous grins and I beam with happiness. Putting the souvenir back on the shelf I move out of the way so he can continue stocking. "So... what time is it?" Scrunching his eyebrows in an exaggerated manner he looks down at his watch. "About 2 and a half minutes after the last time you asked me." My mouth opens in a small o.
"Sorry." I mutter a tad sheepishly. Diverting my attention over to the Elvis exhibit I take a few steps only to steal a glance at the round clock on the wall. Even with his back to me the incredibly perceptive sweetie knows what I am doing. "He will be here soon." He acknowledges with a slight chuckle. "Who will be here?" I feign innocence which is a stretch even for me. He turns just in time to read my guilty expression.
"You know who." Xander states while putting up a poster of Anne Heche. No longer able to keep up with this game I smile happily. "You mean my beautiful boyfriend." He laughs wildly before handing me the scotch tape. "That would be the one. Just don't let Kyle find out you are cheating on him." I pretend to be offended. Giving him a light slap on the shoulder I place the tape on the wood desk. "Speaking of your boss, how is Brody doing?" The self proclaimed class clown gives me a suspicious look before commenting.
"He's heartbroken that your still dating my best friend. By the way how long have you two been together?" Overwhelmed with affection I do a little dance across the room. "Six wonderful months!" Xander has the audacity to seem surprised. "Really? I never would have guessed you two would last this long." I gasp in fake anger. "I can't believe you would say that." Although it's not like he's the first. Everyone was shocked when the son of the sheriff started seeing the daughter of a free spirit. What can I say? Opposites attract.
"You are just steamed because you think if I dated Brody I could get you a raise." I've got him there.
