Me: "I love you."
Long pause full of terror. For him.
M.: "I love you too."
Me: "Don't get scared, now."
M.: "No, I know. I know this doesn't mean you'll show up tomorrow in a wedding dress."
Me: "Oh God. NEVER. I would NEVER want to marry you."
M.: "Uhm - thanks? ..."
Me: "I just love you, that's all."
Pause. I could feel him thinking. Then:
M.: "What the hell do you mean - you would NEVER want to marry me?"
Me: "Oh, what - suddenly you think we should be married just because I said I would never marry you?? Can you picture us married?"
M.: "Fuck no."
Me: "hahahahahahahahahahaha see what I mean?"
