She had just pulled herself back together again and the snickers were subsiding when his slip of the tongue had her in fits again.  “Please stop.” She gasped reaching for her side “I now have a stitch.”  With her free hand she wiped at the tears streaming down her face as her giggles turned into hiccups.    She hadn’t laughed so hard or some much as she had today in a long time.  This holiday was turning out better and better with each passing minute.   She was also feeling less awkward about the whole thing the longer she was with him and he put her more and more at ease.  This just felt like some strange backwards date than what it actually was.<br/><br/>She gulped in a lungful of air and held her breath silently counting to twenty until she slowly exhaled to stop the hiccups.  “Ok, I think I’m cool and calm now.”  She glanced around the room then back at him the mirth still etched on every inch of her face. “You have got to tell me the whole story now!    I promise not to laugh again I think they might just throw us out if I do."<br/><br/>
