Chapter 22

“Creativity is intelligence having fun.”

― Albert Einstein

Antonio was sure he was in for a new experience! Amanda motioned to the shopping cart. He knew she intended for him get one and roll it around. If she knew he hadn’t bought enough groceries to necessitate a cart since college, her teasing jibes would never relent.

“Antonio, this is exciting. Where I live, we do not have a Whole Food Store. Santa Fe has at least three.”

This time, he wasn’t oblivious to Amanda’s world. Early on, he had noticed the trend in whole foods and now owned stock in the Whole Foods Company. Amanda was not the only person concerned with the quality of food. He wondered why there wasn’t at least one store where she lived. He decided to tease. “This store is another reason for you to love living in New Mexico. You can go to the Whole Foods Market whenever you want.”

“I want to show you something.” She left the cart and picked something up, moving out of the other shoppers’ path. “Antonio, do you know what this is?” Her demeanor seduced him.

“Yeah, it’s a pear.” Duh! He may study the past and get lost in most normal conversations, but he could still identify a fruit; well most fruits he amended, not sure just what the spiny thing was doing lying in the pear section.

She looked into his eyes. Her voice whispered. “Not just any pear, it is a Japanese Red Pear. Antonio, it is sensual.”

He was captivated.

“You let it get just a little ripe, give it a bath and dry it off, then shine it. Closing your eyes, you take a bite and feel the juices explode in your mouth. After the explosion, the pieces rest on your tongue. Do not chew. Instead, press your tongue against the roof of your mouth. You taste a smooth, sweet honey as you realize the pear has dissolved. The perfect pear is now part of your DNA.” Her eyes twinkled at Antonio, stunning him. She had bewitched him in the market.

His voice was a little hoarse. “Where did you get that pear, Amanda?”

She put her hand in his to show him, it was a small display for such a powerful fruit. He grabbed a produce bag and loaded it with every last Japanese Red Pear in the market. He leaned over and whispered in her ear.

“You will show me, many times.” His sexy leer was laughable, but his smile was beautiful to Amanda.

She walked towards him with grapes. Antonio squeezed his eyes tight before he re-opened them. He hoped she had something to share about grapes. He spoke before she could say a word.

“Amanda, don’t seduce me in this market with another fruit. If you do, we’re leaving. We’ll have to come back another time, I can’t take it anymore.” Smiling, he kissed her cheek.

“I am not going to seduce you. Gee. You mean the pear thing turned you on?” She deliberately messed with his head.

“Amanda,” he took a breath, “I’m a lucky man.
