Forty eight

"What did they look like? Did they have large boobs? And how fat were their asses? Did they both have long or short hair? Did they ever dye their hair? Did you like that?"

"Woah." I snorted when she asked all that."What are you asking exactly?" I couldn't even process all the questions, and why was she asking about my exes boobs and asses?

"Jerry, I..."

"You?" I wanted her to continue. She came closer to me than she did before. I decided to keep my glass on the table too, giving her my full attention.

"Well, I just wanna know what kind of girl you like, you know....I want to know what's your spec when it comes to girls, so Jerry, what's your spec?"

So that was it, she didn't care about any of my exes, she just wanted to know what kind of girl got my attraction.

"My spec? What would be your reaction if I told you that YOU are my spec?" I said what was more of a statement than a question.

She snorted.

"Please. No way I'm your spec, I mean...me?"

"Yes, you."

She snorted again after I said that.

"Jerry, I'm being serious."

"And so am I. You are my kind of girl."

"What about me describes your kind of girl?"

"Everything about you."

"Really?" She sounded like she found me unbelievable."List the things you like about me." She asked biting her lower lip and looking keenly at me.

"You are smart, I've noticed. You are pretty, very very pretty, you are also sexy, you are... there's a lot Ann." I told her; there really was a lot and i couldn't start to mention.

A wide smile decorated her beautiful face. She covered her face with both palms of her hands, like she was shy. That was unusual, I've never seen her do that unless the one time she was sick and I came over, and that was because she thought her face didn't look okay so she tried to hide it from me but now? Now, she was being shy.

"What are you trying to do, make me blush?" She asked when she stopped covering her face.

"Maybe?" I smiled, loving how red her cheeks were right now.

"Stop it." She smiled then looked away, like she didn't want me to see the red in her cheeks.

"You know, for the first time, a guy notices I'm also smart and it's not just beauty that I've got. For once, a guy acknowledges that I've got brains too. You are different." I heard her confess.

I kept mute for a second, not knowing what to say.

"Jerry?" She called and came close to me again, there was little space between us now."Is there any other girl you are seeing? Be honest."

Be honest; those words stayed in my head the moment they left her lips. She wanted me to be honest.

"Seeing?" I followed up with a question just to be sure on what she was asking.

"You know, is there any girl you like? I would ask if you have a girlfriend but I know you don't, you surely don't, so is there some girl you like?" She sounded so sure when she said 'you surely don't'.

"No."

"No?"

"No."

"Phew," I heard her laugh quirkily."You know, I would hate you if you did." She said when she stopped laughing and I couldn't help but raise a brow.

"Oops, did I say that out loud?" She covered her mouth with both her hands and started to laugh again."Don't mind me, I'm like that sometimes." She said and laughed more.

"I am honestly confused at this point Ann..." I was. First, the string of questions and now her laughter.

"About?" She stopped laughing and sat on my thigh, to my surprise. She could see the surprise on my face but didn't care.

"Everything? Your questions, and..."

"I like you Jerry." She cut me short.

"...." My speechless self again. I didn't even know why I was going speechless over that because I knew, I knew she liked me, maybe not as much as I liked her but I knew she did.

"Jerry?" She called when I wasn't saying anything.

"Yeah?"

"Say something." She demanded, running her fingers through my hair, I loved the way she did that.

"I don't know what t ato say."

"What do you mean?" She stopped playing with my hair, looking troubled all of a sudden.

"I like you too," I decided to clarify that first."I'm just a little surprised, to be honest."

"You are surprised? I mean, sure I didn't want to let you know but It must have been obvious, my actions should have told you."

"Yeah, I'm surprised that I am surprised that you like." I let her know.

"What?" She seemed confused; she had a right to be.

"Ann, I like you a lot, forget all the other things I'm saying right now, I'm just excited and can't manage what I'm saying."

"So you like me?"

"Yes."

"As much as I like you? Hope this isn't sympathy, I don't want sympathetic affection from you, I want something genuine." She pursed her lips after.

"I like you and it's not sympathy, I really do like you, probably more than you like me." I poured my heart to her, but she kept mute for a while. Still on top of me, she adjusted the way she sat, spreading her thighs over my lap to sit more comfortably.

"In that case, do you wanna try a new relationship?" She bit her lower lip shortly before bringing her face to mine."Do you like me enough to wanna get into a relationship with me?"

"I'm not very good when it gets to relationships," I thought should inform her.

"Neither am I, we could try. I actually never thought I would be saying this to any guy, but it's you, you are not like the other guys I've dealt with, you are making me want to give this a chance again, so let's try?"

"...."

"You wanted to know about Jason right? You were right, he's my ex."
