Watch what you says

"Calm down, my love! I think I understand what's going on!" The gentle laughter turned into a full-blown, interrupted, albeit, by a tender kiss.

We broke apart only a minute later.

"So, here's how it is," Maisie sat up, crossing her legs, winked at me conspiratorially, and began her explanation:

"First of all, you, to my surprise, delicately discussed all the changes you see in me with me. And I adore every single one of them! And as for your memory... You see, it looks like we'll have to be more careful with our 'figures of speech' from now on."

"What?!"

"That's my joy! That's what happens when, at the height of sex, you yell, 'Maisie! Give me the most mind-blowing orgasm of my life!' I, frankly, when I realized it, was amazed at how tolerant magic is to you!" Just imagine how I would feel if our first night ended with me trying to dig the remains of your brains out of the most inaccessible places in my body?

We ate breakfast in near silence. I was processing what had just happened, Maisie giggled quietly, tucking into the scrambled eggs with tomatoes and sausages I'd made. The silence, however, was very warm and cozy. Besides, Maisie was sitting in the living room, completely naked and refusing to draw the curtains. She refused to explain why, and at the end of her sentence, she snorted with laughter.

"Well, darling, since you've already taken away my right to even wash the dishes, can I go and see if I can carve out some space for my things in the closet in your room? You understand, right, that after what you did to me last night, you owe me marriage?" "Maisie burst into laughter again, jumped up to me, kissed me passionately, and ran upstairs. I silently dropped the already soapy plate.

...I heard a very distinctive "CLICK!" just as I was putting the frying pan in the cupboard. I almost made it there before I heard a loud scream:

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS, BRAD?!!!!!!"
