*Meri*
"Seriously Tom, how is that supposed to be 'gladiator'". Luca is throwing out his arms in frustration over not getting Tom's very complicated drawing.
"Well I think it was pretty obvious ... I mean to anyone with half a brain". Lumi sips her wine.
Luca glares at her, his voice dripping with venom. "Funny, I don't remember asking for your opinion".
I wonder if I should jump in, but I have a feeling it would just make it all much worse, so instead I ignore it and talk to Lumi. "Okay sis, Your turn to draw … make it easy on me".
She gets up to draw a card and Tom slumps down between me and Luca. "Sorry Luca, I totally thought you would get it".
"I think it was well done". I say softly and Tom turns his head to press a quick kiss to my lips looking happy again.
"Ready ?" My sister asks and I nod.
She quickly draws two things on the paper. Luca leans forward his voice full of doubt. "Is that a tombstone and an erect p***s ... what f*****g movie is that ?"
I giggle and so does Lumi. "'Die hard' of course".
"Well of course". Tom says, chuckling while Luca rolls his eyes.
"Yeah keep rolling those eyes, maybe you find a brain back there". Lumi sends Luca a very sweet smile as she sits down.
Luca smiles back. "You seem a bit overdressed, why don't you slip into something more comfortable ? Like a coma".
"Stop it you two". Tom is glaring from one to the other and they both huff. "Luca, Your turn".
Luca gets up and draws a card. "Ready Tom, this is an easy one".
Tom nods and he starts drawing.
"Uhm a ring ... circle or something and a ... what's that ? A bump ?" Tom looks utterly confused and Luca shakes his head.
Lumi of course is giggling mercilessly, which seems to frustrate Luca even more and he tabs the pen inside the circle.
Tom is shaking his head, his tongue poking out wetting his lip repeatedly. "Hmm oval ? The letter O ? Zero ? Planet ? Hula Hoop ?" Every answer makes Luca shakes his head and tab harder. "f**k Luca, I can't see it".
"God Tom, use that overly smart brain of yours". Luca groans. Then he scratches out the circle and points at it again, making Tom look even more lost.
The clock rings, telling us the time is up and Luca facepalms himself. Lumi giggles again. "Yeah don't quit your day job".
"I know it". I bite my lip. "It's 'Notting hill' right ?"
"See Tom, it was pretty clear ... Meri could see it". Luca grumbles and throws himself down on the couch.
Tom smiles softly at me. "Well Meri is something special".
I feel myself blush and he leans in to kiss me softly.
"You are up sis ... make it good". Lumi says winking at me. "We are so whipping their asses".
"You'd love that wouldn't you". Luca empties his glass and puts it down on the table.
Lumi glares at him. "I heard that you know".
"You were supposed to". He pours himself another glass.
"Oh sweetie you couldn't handle me if I came with instructions". Lumi bite back.
Tom waves his hand. "Time out ... stop it or I will put you on the naughty step". He smiles at me. "Go on darling Your turn".
I step up taking a card and giggles like crazy when I see the title on it. "Okay Lumi, think out of the box".
"Got you". She grins.
I quickly finish my drawing and step away. Tom is c*****g his head first one way, then the other as Lumi clutches her stomach laughing. "Uhh darling is that a half-bald dwarf holding ... uhm is it a letter".
"Something like it ... Lumi ?" The drawing has nothing to do with the movie really, but with an experience associated with it.
"It's 'you've got mail' no doubt". She laughs again and I nod laughing too.
Luca looks at Tom and shrugs and Tom clears his throat. "Sorry, but you need to explain what that has to do with 'you've got mail'".
"Well you see, this guy invited Lumi out ... he wrote to her online and he only had pictures of his chest, which was very nice looking". I tell them.
Lumi giggles. "But when I arrived he turned out to be 5'5, sporting a Donald Trump like spray-tan and wearing a bandana".
"Oh oh and when he took off his bandana he had a mullet but the front half of his head was bald". I laugh.
Even Luca chuckles, and Tom dries his eyes laughing. "But what has that to do with the movie".
"He took me to see a special showing of 'You've got mail' ... now I can't watch the movie without thinking of him". Lumi shakes her head.
"Well he could be a nice guy, I mean despite his unfortunate look". Tom tries not to laugh.
Lumi shakes her head. "He never stopped talking about himself, and he did so in third person, Sidney this and Sidney that ... it was horrible".
"That does sound like a truly bad date". Luca mumbles mostly to himself.
"My turn". Tom says, jumping up on his feet, and hurries up to draw a movie, smiling to himself. "Are you ready Luca ?"
"Yup, come with it Tom". He leans forward to have a better look.
When Tom moves he reveals what looks like a woman, with long hair, duck face lips and rather huge breasts. "Voila".
"Hmm ... 'Striptease'. 'Who framed Roger Rabbit'. 'Showgirls'. 'Barb wire'. Is it Dolly Parton ?" Luca really tries.
Tom looks a bit frustrated. "She wasn't supposed to look ... cheap ... she was supposed to look ...".
"Stop Tom or you'll get us disqualified". Luca cuts him off.
Tom breathes in, then it seems like he gets an epiphany and he points at me, grinning like he is pleased with himself. I wonder what that is supposed to mean.
"Oh got it". Luca grins. "Pretty woman ... obviously".
Tom makes a whooping sound and runs over to high five Luca, who is grinning like a loon now.
I look at Lumi. "Did those two just compare me to a p********e ... and they are all proud about it too ?"
"Oh yeah, they totally did". She snickers.
"Wait what ? No ... no I didn't mean ... I just meant that you are pretty". Tom looks like he is actually scared.
Luca tabs his arm. "Uhm Tom, they are f*****g with you".
"Dammit woman, you are going to kill me someday". Tom turns to look at Lumi. "And you miss are not helping".
