“I want to ravish you and run my tongue up and down your honey slit, damn girl you’re setting me on fire. Only, I think we need to wait for our food to go down. Let’s go watch a movie.” “Perfect. It’s going to be a Hallmark movie.” “Fine by me, you know I love a good romance.” It’s true I do, I’ve watched enough of them with my mother when I was a kid, and who cares if people think I’m a weird kind of guy that enjoys Hallmark, if you ask my opinion this world needs a lot more sweet romance in it.
