I was talking to Robbie about the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics, and I mentioned how good one of the color commentators for NBC was. “What?” he said.
“The color commentator was really . . .”
“The what commentator?”
I took a breath and launched into an explanation. “It’s the guy who . . .”
Robbie suppressed a growl. He finds my innate inability to give him the answer to the question he’s actually asking, rather than the information I know he wants, profoundly irritating. “What’s the word you’re saying before ‘commentator?'”
“Color.”
“What’s a color commentator?”
My turn to not-growl. “He’s the guy who’s not the main commentator, but who adds little interesting facts to the commentary.”
“Oh. Okay, go on . . . “
Most of the time we converse this elliptically. I guess we like each other so much we are willing to slog through thigh-high verbal slush on a minute-by-minute basis. And despite the slog, we had great talks this visit, a great, kinky time, and very few fights.
“God, you’re an argumentative bitch”–said with a wicked smile before kissing me and bending me over to fuck me–doesn’t count as a fight. That’s just colorful commentary.
