âWe returned to Back to the Future full to bursting but happy. I walked her to the front door pausing, unsure if I should come up or not.
âShe solved the problem for me. Grabbing my hand, she said, "Come on, I've got something to show you."
âMy brain flashed through a thousand scenarios, several of which involved skimpy lingerie.
âHer eyes narrowed. "Down, big boy. I want to show you something else."
âI felt my cheeks heat. "Sure, of course, no problem."
âShe smiled and went up on her tip-toes to kiss my cheek before whispering in my ear, "If you are very good, then maybe you can see a bit of that too."
âI gulped, the heat in my cheeks becoming a burning sensation that Roaster would have had a hard time duplicating.
âCog's tinkling laughter sounded, and she pulled on my hand again. "Come on."
âI followed her into the building and up the hidden staircase. As we reached the apartment, she peeled off into her bedroom, calling back to me, "Give me a second, I'm going to change, and then I'll be right back."
Trying to tamp down the whirlwind of thoughts created by the word âChange,â I gazed around the room. I could see that the Millennium Falcon was missing from the kitchen table. I called out, "Hey. Is the Falcon finished already? That was fast!"
âCogs breezed back into the main room in a pair of sweats and an Alice In Chains t-shirt. It wasn't quite as good as a lace teddy, but the woman most definitely had taste.
â"No. I decided to let it go. I got an offer for it that was too good to pass up."
â"Jeez, that must have been one hell of an offer; that thing was worth tens of thousands of credits."
â"It was, but I didn't sell it for money. I traded it."
âI shook my head. "What could possibly be worth that much?"
âShe grinned. "This!" Cogs pulled a DVD box from where she had hidden it behind her back.
âI blinked, at first not sure what I was seeing. It was a red box with two men on the cover, one of whom was David Tennant, on top of a group of Cybermen. I let out my breath. "It can't be."
âCogs's smile almost split her face. "It is! The 2008 Christmas Special The Next Doctor."
âI looked at the box, then back at her triumphant expression, before stepping forward to pick her up and swing her around, chanting, "YES! YES! YES!"
â"Let me down," she said, laughing. After one more energetic swing, I set her down. "So, the rule is, you can only watch it at my place."
âI nodded my head. "Just so you know, that would mean that I will be coming by a ton."
â"That's fine," she said. "Now, do you want to watch this thing or see my lingerie collection?"
âMy stomach dropped. "Uhhhâ¦"
âCogs let out a blurting laugh. "KIDDING! She kissed me on the lips, making them tingle, and gave me a wink. "I love that you stopped to think about it.
