Rob nods, "I guess... How about love?"

"Nah."

"Queen?"

I shook my head, "maybe every once in a while, but not all the time."

He smirked, "honey bunches."

"Cereal?" I giggled, "absolutely not."

I watched his face as he thought about a nickname for me. He seemed to go back and forth in his head, until he turned to me once again, "melon."

"Melon." I repeated, unsure. It didn't sound as bad as the other ones, but it seemed random.

"Maybe you haven't noticed," Rob started, "but that's like half of what you eat. Watermelons, honeydews, cantaloupes. You absolutely love them, and crave them like crazy. I think it's cute."

Even though it seemed a little odd at first, it did make sense. And I thought it was nice that he'd noticed that about me. I did love those varieties of melons, and this was something that would be our special thing, just for the two of us.

"Okay, melon it is. How about you," I asked him.

Rob shrugged, "I'm fine with anything. Knowing you, you're going to call me something one day, and it'll just stick."

He went ahead and played the movie. I half-watched while I thought up some good pet names for my boyfriend.
