"Malcolm Strong!"

He laughs. "You need to update your references."

"You do know it."

"I don't live in a cave."

"Well, what's he like?"

"Legal thrillers."

"And you?"

"I don't mind them." He smiles, reveling in the frustration spreading over my expression. "You really are fucking adorable."

"You're not going to be laughing when you're stuck watching three movies you don't like."

"What about when you're coming in my lap with movies in the background?"

Ahem. I sidestep the comment. It's the only way to keep my wits about me. "Do you want to help me at all?"

"No."

"I'll get you back for this."

"Baby, you sure you want to start a war with me?"

I bite my lip. "Maybe."

"Bullshit, maybe."

I shrug, utterly effortless.

He smiles. "Bullshit."

Total bullshit.

I smile back anyway.

After our obscenely delicious bowls of pasta, we move onto the couch. Ah, the magic of having Netflix, Hulu, iTunes, and Amazon streaming at my fingertips.

I find The Apartment and turn to Mal. "Have you seen this one?"

"Don't think so."

"You sure?"

"I don't usually pay attention." He smiles as I smirk. "You're fucking adorable shooting me dirty looks."

"You will pay attention."

"What if I'd rather make you come?"

Ahem. "That's what the pause button is for."
