With my hands tied behind my back

It's after the party. The ballroom is littered and empty. I am naked. My hands are tied behind my back. There is no music. The band is long gone. Yet, still I dance. I dance with a smile.

Understanding

I just finished reading Gigis http://lotusmartinis.blogspot.com/ "Valentines day at the casino" post. I swear every single time she talks about her and Turk I get all these little butterflies in my tummy. I'm in love with the understanding that belongs to certain couples. I get a little jealous of the inside jokes...the comradery...the equality... or at least I used to.

SLJ: "Hershey bar with almonds sounds good."
TD: "Ya wanna go get one?"
SLJ: "No, I'm okay. I don't need one."
TD - an hour later: "Hershey bar with almonds sounds good."
SLJ: "Do you want me to go get you one?"
TD: "No."
TD: "Yes."
TD: "Um, how far is it to your local Hershey bar supplier?"
SLJ: "5 miles."
TD & SLJ: Snicker, chuckle and laugh about the absurdity of 1) knowing exactly how far it is to your local hershey bar supplier and 2) the absurdity of going out in the cold for a hershey bar that's five miles away.
SLJ: "How far away is your local hershey bar supplier?"
TD: "Eight miles."
TD & SLJ: More snickers and laughs. Total understanding and equality.
TD: "We can go after 'Everyone loves Raymond' is over."
5 miles later SLJ leads the way to the candy corner at the local market and buys TD a Hershey bar with almonds.
TD: "If I was pregnant and wanted a cheeseburger, would you drive to the next town for McDonalds for me?"
SLJ: "Of course I would."
TD: "Yah, that's what I thought." donning a big smile and biting into the chocolate.

Aw, sweetie!! You're right, it is fun to have that camaraderie, as evidenced so well here with the complete and mutual understanding regarding the necessity of a trip to the local Hershey dealer. Too cute! ;D
