Thursday: April/2/09 - Phone: Starbuck/Kim Starbuck: *calls* Kim: Hello? Starbuck: Hey, babe. Kim: Hey, what's up? Starbuck: I think it's about time you put a ring on it. Kim: *confused* What? Starbuck: I don't have a ring.. and FIVE women just flirted with me in the thirty minutes I spent at the grocery with Kamea and Reed. Starbuck: *Kamea in the background* HI MOMMY! Kim: *laughs* Well, guys with kids are chick magnets. Especially hot ones. Starbuck: If I'd known this years ago, I would have volunteered to babysit every kid in the neighborhood. Kim: *amused* Really? Starbuck: Well, maybe not. I mean.. I've got you now. Kim: *smiling* Good answer, babe. Starbuck: *Kamea hollering* I wanna talk to mommy! Starbuck: *Starbuck* Just a minute, sweetie. I'm talking to her right now. And we're gonna be home soon anyway. Kim: How'd they behave at the store? Starbuck: Well.. we have THREE kinds of cereal with cartoons on the boxes. You tell me. Kim: *laughs* Sounds like a successful trip. Starbuck: To be fair, I grabbed the Lucky Charms. Kim: Oh, I already knew you were responsible for at least one of those boxes. Starbuck: You know me so well. Kim: I like to think so. *yawns* So did you get any numbers from the women that were hitting on? Kim: *you Starbuck: Oh yeah. Get this.. one of them had the balls to give her number to Kamea! Kim: *amused* Seriously?! *laughs* Wow, lady's got some balls. Starbuck: Right? Starbuck: *Kamea shouts out* She said for daddy to call her! Kim: *laughs* And what did Kamea say to her? Starbuck: She just asked why. *chuckle* Kim: And what did the chick say? Or was she too stunned to answer? Starbuck: I pulled Kamea away and quickly told the chick we had to get home to mommy. Kim: *laughs* I think you need to record your trips to the store from now on. Nothing this funny ever happened to me. Starbuck: That's because women with kids don't turn guys on. Sorry. Kim: Ouch. Thanks, babe. Starbuck: Well, you turn me on.. but not random dudes. They can't focus on you.. they're too busy freaking out over the kids. Kim: I don't feel too cute lately anyway. Starbuck: You're gorgeous. Kim: I'm flabby. Starbuck: You're not! Kim: Yeah, sure. Starbuck: And, let's be honest, your tits look beyond amazing. Kim: Because I'm pudgy. Starbuck: *soft* Babe.. you're not. You're sexier than ever. Kim: I don't feel like it. I still have all this extra baby weight and it sucks. Starbuck: How 'bout we take a little trip together? Mom's still around. She could stay here with Kamea and Reed. Kim: *hesitant* I don't know.. Starbuck: Just one night away. Kim: To do what? I don't think I'm ready to have sex again. Starbuck: Kim.. I know that. Kim: *sighs* I'm sorry. Starbuck: No.. don't apologize. That's not why I was asking to go away. I just think we could use a night off. Kim: I don't know if I'm ready to leave Reed for a whole night yet. Starbuck: Alright. Kim: I'm lame. I know. Starbuck: You're not. You love your little boy. Kim: I really do. So I guess it's not weird that I miss him right now, huh? Starbuck: Not at all. Kim: Ugh, I still feel lame. Not because I miss him, but because I wanna get back to doing everything I normally did before. This whole resting thing sucks. Starbuck: There's no hurry. Kim: Well, I'm in a hurry. I want this baby pudge to go away. Did you know that I still have to wear bigger pants? How is that normal? Starbuck: Babe, you barely gained any weight while pregnant, and you're still a good ten sizes smaller than most women I know. Kim: Are you saying I'm too skinny? Starbuck: *sigh* I can't win here, can I? Kim: It's not a trick question. I'm not trying to make you lose or anything. Starbuck: I think you're gorgeous. Kim: You're adorable. Starbuck: *clearly smiling* Likewise. Kim: *amused* What happened to not wanting to be adorable? Starbuck: Eh, I'm over it. Kim: So I win? Starbuck: You win. Kim: I thought the victory would feel better. *laughs* Starbuck: *chuckles too* I love you. Kim: Because I'm crazy? Starbuck: Yep. Kim: That's all it takes, huh? Starbuck: Well, it's more than that.. Kim: What else? Starbuck: It's the intangibles. Kim: You're being way too adorable right now. Starbuck: Ask mom if she can take the kids out to play when I get home. Kim: I have to feed the baby when you get back, but I guess I can ask her. Starbuck: Good. We'll have some you and me time. Kim: Is it sad that I barely remember what that's like? Starbuck: That's why we need it. Kim: Yeah, I guess you're right. Starbuck: I'll be home soon. Ask mom. Kim: Alright, I'll ask her. Starbuck: Love you, babe. Kim: Love you too. Starbuck: *hangs up*
