Scrabble

The cooker in the kitchen vibrates from the pressure of whatever is cooking within it. They sit on the marble kitchen slab facing each other and staring down at it, kept in between them.

He : ..so honey, you know the boss is always expecting me to work late..and the project never seems to be getting over...i'm so tired these days..all i want to do in the weekends is slee...*yawns*...You should be able to go to the doc yourself...now come on baby!

She : Es..Escapist..

He : Honey..you have 15 letters! We're playing Beginners!... and you take so long to form your word!

He *leaning close to her* : Try the S...i think you should try S-E-X...

She *looking up at him.Watching his sly hogging eyes* : Es-Escalate...

He : You know what we should do..we should try the new stuff i read in that book!!!

She *rolling eyes* : Ecstasy!

He : Wo! that was good honey...the mens' room talk told me they all loved it..the more complicated it gets...the better it is...

She *Closing eyes.Frowning* : Escarbuncle!

He *in a whispering smooth tone* : ...and we can do it throughout the weekend....

She *arranging the words on the board briskly* : S-C-U-M-B-A-G

He looks at her for a few seconds reading the slight lines on her forehead and the vague smirk on her lips. Then he stares down at his letters.

The cooker lets out its first whistle.
