I was reading a magazine in bed. Lauren was watching television and petting Thunder, It was almost midnight, and I was tired, but something was nagging at me. I put my magazine down.
"Do you remember the last time we had sex?" I asked Lauren. She didn't look over from the television, nor did she turn it down or pause it. "No," she said, not giving it another thought. "Why?"
"Well, don't you think that's... you know... not great?" "I guess," she said. "Can you pause the TV for a second?" I asked her, and she did, begrudgingly. She looked at me. "I'm just saying, maybe it's something we should work on."
"Work on? That sounds awful." Lauren laughed. I laughed, too. "No, I know, but it's important. We used to have sex all the time." She laughed again, but this time, I wasn't sure why. "When was this?" she teased. "What? All the time! You know, there were times we would do it, like, four times a day."
"You mean, like the time we did it in the laundry room?" she asked "Yes!" I said, sitting up, excited that she was finally agreeing with me. "Or the time we did it three times in fourty-five minutes ?" "Yes!" "Or the time we had sex in the backseat of my car parked on a side street in Westwood?"
"This is exactly what I'm talking about!"
"Baby, those all happened in college." I looked at her, keeping her gaze, trying to remember if that was true. Was all of that in college? How long ago was college? Seven years ago.
"I'm sure we've done crazy stuff since then, haven't we?" Lauren shook her head. "Nope, we haven't." "Surely we have," I said, my voice still sounding upbeat. "It's not a big deal," she said, grabbing the remote and turning the TV back on. "We've been together for almost ten years. We were bound to stop having sex all the time."
"Well," I said, talking over the TV, "maybe we should spice it up."
"Ok," she said. "So spice it up, then."
"Maybe I will!" I said, joking with her and turning off the light. But... you know, I never did.
