Rhyme Scheming

Sheila: “Blimey, Nick, you didn’t have to go through all this!” Nickey: “Well, I wanted to show you that I can be something other than just a jock.”
Sheila: “Oh, I know that, pet. I think you’re wonderful. You’re a great friend.” Nickey: “And I’m working on being a great cook, too.”
Sheila: “So you’ve fixed the food for tonight, too?” Nickey: “I certainly did! Got any of that famous Cockney rhyming slang for food?”
Sheila: (thinks “In the nude.”) “I’ll have to thing about that one a bit, Nick.” Nickey: “Not a problem. Sit and get ready for the first nibbles.”

That bit of rhyming slang isn’t appropriate quite yet, although who knows what the future may hold? …okay, I do, but did you really think I was going to pass up this opportunity for a bit of suspense? Besides, a good romance doesn’t just jump to the naughty bits (and we’re SFW after all).
