And then he stole me some flowers

The Prince gave me a ride home from work last night but he was a dick about it the entire time. Why? Because instead of getting to stay home with me, his boss had insisted that he drop me off and then go back to work to do some overtime.

When he dropped me off, he uttered an "I love you", to which I was like:

"I love you too, but I like you a little less when you take your work frustrations out on me."

The Prince backed his Jeep out of the driveway and went back to work without saying anything.

Colour me unimpressed.

Anyway, about three hours later there was a knock on our apartment door. I opened it to find my Prince standing there with his bottom lip in a pout, his eyes wide and apologetic. He was holding a bunch of flowers in his hands. 

"Hi! You brought flowers?"

"Yes. I'm so sorry I was anything less than wonderful to you on the way home. I'm sorry."

"It's okay... but um, where did you get these flowers from?"

"I stole them."

"From where?"

"The neighbours' flower beds."

"WHAT?"

"Chill out, okay? I knew when I left to come home to you that I shouldn't come empty handed, so I figured I'd get flowers, but nice flowers cost money and I don't have any of that, so then I thought, okay, ROAD FLOWERS. So all the way home I was scoping the side of the road for some pretty wild flowers and there weren't any. I got all the way here and that's when I noticed the flowers next door. I figured it was okay to steal them because that house is for sale and no one is living there right now. They way I see it, those flowers were anyone's game. So now you have them."

"You stole flowers for me?"

"Yep. Me, your law-abiding, rule-following boyfriend. Because I love you."

"I love you more, shithead."

"Not possible."

With a grin,

  3. my mother in-law's house was for sale. and she had a hard time keeping it clean, which was bad since she was usually only given a couple of hours warning before her realtor would ask to show it.

    my husband stole a SHOPPING CART for his mom so she could frantically fill it with junk and wheel it into the garage.

    the house sold after that.

  6. "color me unimpressed" = best line ever.
    Please tell me you're not disappearing while you're on your road adventure?!!? I will try to get by if you do. It may involved a lot of alcohol, but I'll get by. Either way, have a great and safe trip!

  7. Ha ha , so sweet to you, maybe your neighbors might feel differently. My bf was a crab yesterday too, really gave it to me for going for a walk when he came home. Really? I need to be home to watch you take a shower and then play poker on your iPad?

  9. That is HYSTERICAL but super romantical at the same time. The Prince gets major points for this.
