The Bounce Back Page #6

Okay. That was pretty good.

You got me, I'll give you that.

Tell me everything about your ex.

I would rather not.

Oh! Come on now, let's process together.

I have talked about it enough

for one lifetime.

That is The Bounce Back.

Let's eat.

All right! Be careful.

That's amazing!

That is sexy

and way too cute.

So pretty!

- You like it?

- Yeah.

I think of it as my

little oasis in the sea.

I like these lights.

That's my little angel, her name's Aleya.

- She is beautiful.

- Yeah.

I like her hair.

That little lady has saved me

more times than I care to admit.

She is something else.

What are you thinking about?

- Nothing.

- Come on.

I know something when I see something,

spit it out.

- Nothing.

- Kristin?

- What?

- Don't think I didn't notice that you

sidestepped that whole conversation

about your ex.

God.

Do I have to?

I was sure that it was

going to last forever,

just like my parents,

almost 50 years and counting.

And I loved him more than anything

and I was sure that he loved me

but

I was wrong.

I literally could not have been more wrong.

What happened?

I am sure you can guess.

I'm sorry.

That image of him and that person

it's, um,

it's printed in my brain.

It takes up a whole lot of space up there,

doesn't it?

And I am sure you are the guy who is just

going to come and make it all go away?

Do you want me to?

Oh, okay, okay, I am sorry.

What? What?

I have to go to the bathroom,

just for a minute.

- Okay.

- Okay?

- Where is it?

- Right there.

Okay.

- All right. Are you sure you're okay?

- Yes.

Oh, wow.

Just calm down, just calm down,

calm down.

Six years, this is a good thing,

this is a good thing,

you deserve this, you want this.

Disgusting. Ugh.

It's show time.

Oh, wow.

I don't ever want to forget this moment.

You won't.

- What's wrong?

- Mmm.

Nothing at all.

I feel amazing.

You look amazing.

What is so funny?

Nothing, I just...

I just feel...

Phew.

Oh, my God, you smell so good.

You always smell so good.

It's one thing I've noticed about you,

and your abs, especially your abs,

look at you.

You should be in a Bowflex commercial.

Okay. Um.

What has gotten into you?

Hopefully you in a few more minutes.

Okay.

Okay. Hey, hey, hey, Kristin.

- Kristin, hey, Kristin.

- Yeah.

Look at me. Are you on something?

Sarah gave me some Bowflex Willys.

What kind of Bowflex Willys?

Happy Bowflex Willys.

I feel so good. Oh, my God!

But not as good as you're about

to make me feel.

Mmm-hmm.

It's been six years of celibacy

and six years of celibacy

can make a woman feel like stone,

but I am not made of stone.

- Hopefully one of us...

- Okay. Oh, wow!

Okay, hey, um,

I don't know if this is such a good idea.

Oh, my God! You're so strong.

Just grab me, just like really tight.

Tarzan meet Jane.

Wooh!

Okay. Hey, look at you. Whoa, you okay?

Okay, um, you know,

maybe you should just

lay down for a second, what do you think?

No! I am not gonna lay down.

I am gonna take this bra.

- Okay, hey, hey, hey.

- What?

I don't know

if you should do that right now.

Come on, as soon as I get this off

we're about to get to business.

Kristin?

Kristin?

Matthew?

- Morning.

- Morning.

Thanks.

Did we?

No.

- Not even a little bit.

- Hmm.

I slept on the couch.

Hmm.

Did you take some kind of

medication or something?

My girlfriend gave me a...

Oh, my God.

I ruined it, didn't I?

You called me Tarzan.

And you did quite the Jane impression.

I mean, it was sexy, I am not going to lie,

but you were a little out of control,

but it was definitely sexy.

Is there something I should know?

Uh-uh. I mean...

I am not on drugs or anything,

if that's what you mean.

- Okay.

- Uh-uh.

So then what, what is it then?

Tell me about this,

I am sure there is a wonderful story

behind it.

It represents my pride,

protection.

What is it protecting?

Me.

Was it too soon?

No, too soon, why?

It's a big deal.

- Are you nervous?

- Hmm?

No.

You don't have to be nervous at all.

Trust me, my little girl

has been bugging me

to get myself a girlfriend

for as long as I can remember.

Really?

She is gonna be ecstatic to meet you,

don't worry about it.

Okay.

You are nervous. Look at you.

- I am.

- That's cute.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Hey, you.

So, um, did you see Jeff today?

Um, he went with his friends.

Anyway.-

Well, Aleya.

Hi, Aleya! I am your dad's, uh, friend

- and I'm Kristin.

- Kristin, right?

I have seen you guys on TV together.

You have? Wow.

Okay, well, um, it's

really nice to meet you.

So are you my dad's girlfriend?

Oh, whoa, whoa, hey, hey Aleya!

Seriously, if you like him

please be his girlfriend,

he needs one badly.

You know I am standing right here,

I can hear you.

All right! Anyway, um,

well, I was thinking we could all go get

a little frozen yogurt or something.

Why don't you go get some frozen yogurt

and, um, we'll go shopping

and you can tell me all about your dad,

and I'd love to hear all about Jeff,

I'll keep it between you and me.

- Okay.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

What is happening right now?

We're going shopping.

- Okay.

- Bye!

And then she got this

skirt that has these studs on it.

It looks so good on her.

It better not be short, okay?

It's not.

None of these short shorts,

you hear me, young lady?

It's all right.

Dad, I like her. Don't mess this up.

Okay, you know what,

get your little butt in the house.

Okay.

Hey, hey, hey.

Come on, let me help you out.

No, I got it.

I know you got it, but come on now!

Oh, right, trying to impress the lady

by being a gentleman!

Maybe, but you're kind of messing up

my game right now.

Okay. I love you.

I love you too.

Hey, baby.

So that's Julie?

- Yeah.

- She is pretty.

Let's get out of here.

Aleya is a wonderful young lady

and a sassy little thing.

That she is.

Thank you for being so amazing

with her today.

You done good, Mr. Dad.

What?

What?

What is that look?

I think I'm falling for you.

Listen, I, um,

just wanna say I'm sorry

for that whole thing back there.

What thing?

You mean me seeing Julie,

or Julie seeing me?

It just was unexpected.

Okay.

Why don't you go get some rest?

I'll see you at the show tomorrow.

Is that okay?

Good night.

Good night.

God.

Argh.

What do you want, Sam?

I guess that means you're still mad at me?

Yes, I am.

But you saved my name and number

in your phone, so...

Girl, please don't tell me you called

to rub in the fact that I like you.

No, I didn't, um...

Yeah, well...

Well, damn!

You might wanna pep it up, mamacita!

We're on in 20.

Yeah.

You are so sweet!

- Hey.

- Hey.

Everything okay?

Yeah.

Ah, Matthew, put your number in there.

Oh, um...

Oh, I am... I am sorry,

are you two together?

No, we're not.

For the show we're,

you know, debating philosophies.

All right, we're back with Matthew Taylor,

author of The Bounce Back,

and Nina says, go out and get this book

because we love this book.
