Pun time, Mikey and girlfriend.

Mikey and his girlfriend are on their first date. After dinner and a movie, they decide to jump into his Camaro and drive up to the local make out spot, on Camelback Mountain, where things start to get hot and heavy.
After awhile his girlfriend leans over and whispers in his ear "do you want to go into the back seat?"
"Oh not now", answers Mikey.
His girlfriend, confused, shakes her head and they continue making out.
A few minutes later his girlfriend asks again, "do you want to go into the back seat now?"
"No" exclaims Mikey.
A little frustrated she decides to ignore his comment and they go at it again.
A few more minutes pass and she figures she can ask again, "alright now sweetie don't you want to go in the back seat?"
"No!" Yells Mikey.
"And why not she frustratingly asks?"
Mikey loudly answers "because I want to stay up here in front with you"...
