sympathetic look on her face.
    “ No for real. I came up with the idea and everything. The network wanted it so much they decided to retain me and pay me a lump sum plus royalties,” Melinda said raising her glass. Kyle planted a kiss on her forehead and smiled at her.
    “ Yeah, thank God. If it were not for that show the two of us would have never met,” Kyle said with a smile. Natasha and Mitchell smiled at each other.
    “ That’s enough, love birds. What are we doing? Boys versus girls or which couple sucks more?” Mitchell asked. Natasha and Melinda exchanged a “oh no he didn’t” look.
    “ Remember when they thought chess was too quote unquote, intelligent for us?” Natasha asked. Melinda nodded.
    “ All too well,” Melinda answered.
    “ Well, I guess that answers your question, Mitchell Schmidt. It’s boys versus girls and which pair is going to whoop your ass,” Natasha said as she switched seats with Melinda. Mitchell looked at them and smiled. 
    “ Fine. We’ll go first,” he said as he carefully spelled out the word “aint” on the board. Natasha looked at the board and then at Mitchell.
    “ What language are we playing in? Vietnamese?” she asked laughing.
    “ English. Aint is a perfectly legit word,” Mitchell argued. Melinda suddenly burst out laughing.
    “ Honey, as an African American I have to tell you that my community has worked so hard to terrorize the English language,” Natasha said looking at Mitchell apologetically. “That is an example of how good we are at language terrorism,” she added pointing at the board.
    “ This couple is going to kick your ass,” Melinda said giving Natasha a high five.
    “ Ain’t that the truth,” Kyle said looking at Mitchell who was smiling back at him. “So anyway, you know how the two of us met. How did you two meet?” he asked as he looked up at Natasha.
    “ It’s not as magical as your tourist meets local boy story,” Mitchell said. “Well, it’s the usual,” he added. Melinda looked at Natasha.
    “ What’s the usual? Coffee shop?” Melinda asked.
    “ Oh no. Mitchell just seems to lose the romance so soon into the marriage,” Natasha said. “I was going for an interview at NSCS,” she said as a big smile played on her face.
    “ The government navy intelligence thing? Cool, I’ve seen that show. I didn’t think it was real, though,” Kyle said as he took a handful of chips. The three looked at him surprised.
    “ Not NCIS honey. NSCS,” Melinda said in a whisper even though the other three people in the room were quiet. Natasha smiled at Mitchell.
    “ Don’t worry. My dad also thought I was about to join Jack Bauer in the fight against international crime,” Natasha said giving a sympathetic look to Kyle.
    “ Good to know I’m not alone there,” Kyle said. “So what’s NSCS?” he asked.
    “ Nolan Schmidt Communications Solutions. The company I work for,” Natasha said. Kyle’s eyes grew wide.
    “ This is one of those boss and naughty secretary situations, isn’t it?” he asked. Natasha looked at him surprised and offended at the same time. Was this how people perceived her? The little whore who slept with her boss and finally hit the jackpot? Kyle suddenly noticed Melinda’s look, the same look that she would give him on nights that he was sure he wasn’t getting lucky. It was at that moment that he realized he had overstepped his boundaries. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to offend anyone. Sometimes I talk faster than my brain processing capability,” Kyle said looking at Natasha ruefully. 
    “ I guess you should feel better knowing that you are not the first person to think that,” she said.
    “ So what happened at the interview?” Melinda asked trying to change the topic. Kyle’s comment had brought about an uncomfortable situation at the table that she longed to get away from.
    “ So, I drove to the interview but when I got out of the car, I don’t know what happened. I passed out,”
