He had told her to meet him at seven, right in front of the main doors to the university, and so she did.
“What are we doing here?”
She asks, walking up to him, her arms thrown out in questioning.
He nodded towards the right of him.
“Bike riding?”
He nodded, then walked over to the two chained bikes.
“Are these even your bikes?”
“If they were, why would I do this?”
He questions, while pick locking the locks off the chained bike.
The chains fell heavily to the ground.
“That’s stealing!”
“You going to state the obvious some more?”
Her brows furrowed and her eyes squinted, giving a glare.
“I did not 取消 my plans tonight, just to steal bikes with you.”
“Oh, be honest, 你 didn’t have any plans. 你 were going to set at your 台, 办公桌 and study all night. And, we are not stealing, we’re merely borrowing, and then possibly returning, if I feel like it.”
He finally finishes.
“It’s illegal.”
“For once in your life, do something risky.”
“You call stealing a bicycle risky?”
“To 你 it is, apparently. Just get on the damn bike.”
She gives a frustrated sigh, then, hops on the bike.
“Now, can 你 make it without training wheels, sweetie?”
“Shut up.”
She states irritated, as she begins pedaling up the path.
“Wait up.”
He 说 loudly, from behind her.
“Tempting, but I’d rather not.”
House finally caught up to her, and they were now side 由 side, going at a normal steady pace.
“So, how’s life? And, I’m asking this only because I have no idea what else to ask, not that I’m interested.
“Life is crappy. And, I’m saying this only because I want to drive 你 nuts, 由 你 having to know why my life is so crappy.”
“Which 你 aren’t going to tell me why? Which is the whole point of that, because I’ll go insane if I don’t know.”
He said, looking over at her, giving a understanding face.
“Yes.”
She states.
”But, your life isn’t crappy, and you’re just saying that to screw with me.”
”You never know.”
She raises her eye brows, giving a somewhat taunting look.
“Lets see, what could so bad about your life. Now that I think of it, there’s quite a few. You’re a workaholic, don’t get to see your family that often, the 列表 goes on and on.”
She gives a sarcastic laugh.
“What do 你 do besides work that’s so much better? Play sports, party, steal?”
He gave a small smirk at the last comment.
“I played lacrosse, and I still party, and I only steal, sometimes. But, I also do other awesome things.”
”Like what?”
“Play piano.”
”Are we talking about the Fisher Price children’s piano, 或者 a piano, piano?
“The 秒 one, do 你 play?”
“No, 音乐 is not my gift.”
She gives a small laugh.
“Only work.”
He states.
They both give a small chuckle, then continue riding down the pavement path.
