"Yeah, right. Keep talking, Maverick," she...

“Yeah, right. Keep talking, Maverick,” she teased, using the Top Gun reference to remind her brother that no Russian MiGs had been brought down by hotshot US fighter pilots since Vietnam free asian porn .

What little Ella knew about the military came from her conversations with Steve over the years, and he didn’t talk about work much on those occasions when they got together. So while she was sparse on details, she kind of had a big-picture view of what each service did, but even there she knew she’d be unable to answer simple, Jeopardy-like questions.

But she did know the movie Top Gun, and she also knew it had so many mistakes and caricatures of the military in it, that Steve hated it. But Tom Cruise had been so ‘yummy’ back then that Ella had watched it several times over the years and would gladly watch it again.

Saturday morning Ella was up early as usual and had gone to a yoga class at 6:30am and still got home in time to make breakfast. As she got things ready she smiled when she wondered if the only male in the class had been flirting with her. He had a man bun, and while that ruled him out immediately in her book, he was nonetheless very cute, albeit a little too young.

Still, it was nice to think that a nice looking, single man of any age might want to flirt with her, and it gave her hope that she might one day meet someone who was age…and hair…appropriate. She wasn’t a ‘hair snob’ by any means. Hair, receding hair or no hair at all were all okay with her as long as there wasn’t a combover going on. And while it wasn’t a dealbreaker, it would be nice if he still had a reasonably flat stomach.

Other than that, it would be more about personality, a thought that made her smile again as she thought about the old saying, “He has a great personality,” which was essentially code for being unattractive.

By lunchtime she knew what she wanted to make and told Steve she was going to the store to buy the things she needed. Chloe wanted to stay with her dad, but Derek wanted to with his surrogate mom even though buying groceries was about as boring as it got. Ella knew he’d have his phone with him and be playing some game, and that was just fine with her. Derek didn’t really talk much, he just needed to be around her, and that was also okay, too, because she didn’t particularly like being alone herself.

Feeling ambitious, Ella decided to make lasagna and a blueberry cobbler she hadn’t had in years but dearly loved. It was her mother’s recipe and had a crust that was to-die-for delicious. Derek dutifully followed her around the store, paying no attention and asking for only one thing. A diet Coke at the checkout counter.
