Runaway With Me

TOSS A COIN

--GIBSON--

HELL, THAT WAS SIZZLING HOT!

Christ! I think I'm having a hard on. The sight of her freshly showered triggered something within me. Her damped blonde hair, the robe she was wearing (knowing nothing was beneath it), her eyes that were dancing with color. She look like a sexpot.

Good thing I still had the last ounce of self control before I jumped on her bones. I stripped of my clothes and turned the shower on, wishing and hoping I could just wash my hard on under the spray of hot, comforting water. Damn, I loved teasing her.

I got dressed and got out of the shower. I saw blondie dressed in flannel pajamas and spaghetti straps. Wow! that girl can wear anything. I was still admiring her when she tossed a pillow and blanket at me. I gave her a questioning look.

"Yo, where will I sleep?" She pointed at the foam that was placed below the mattress.

"So you want me to sleep on the floor? No way, dude." I was about to yank her out of the bed when she held up her hands and inhaled.

"There is no way I'm sleeping down there. I'm tried." Her stubborness was really getting to me but still was a turn on.

"How about we toss a coin? Loser sleeps on the floor." I said confidently knowing to well I never lose at this game.

"Fine! Let me toss the coin." She grabbed the coin I was holding and she tossed it into the air.

"Okay, you pick first." I said, grinning like an idiot knowing I always win.

"Heads." She sounded confident.

"Okay, that leaves me with tails. Show the coin." I said with a smug smile.

She slowly peeled her fingers away and looked at the coin. Well, I'll be damned. Can't this day just get worst.

"Yeah! I sleep on the bed. You on the floor. Come on, move along now." She tried to push me down.

"Okay, okay I'm moving... I'm moving..."

Damn, this was the first time I had lost that game.

But then I jumped onto the bed and spread my arms and legs wide enough. Then I faked a snore.

"What do you think you're doing? I won so it means you get off the bed." She said in her bitchy tone. Still, I didn't move a muscle.

"Well in that case..." she stopped talking. I was waiting for her next move but there was nothing . I was about to sit up when I left something move. What in the world was that? She got my feet with the both of her hands. The next thing I knew was falling down the bed. I crashed with a big thud on the floor. I groaned and looked at tina. She was giving me an innocent face.

"I hope you had a safe 'landing'." She was practically amused with what she'd done while I am not.

"Yeah, thanks for the trip." I replied in an annoyed manner.

"No biggie." And she winked at me.

She was already laying down on her bed by the time I was picking up my pillows. There was a sudden eerie silence inside the room. I turned the lights off and laid on my back and both hands tucked under my head. The silence was deafening. I had no choice but to talk to Tina, hoping she was still awake.

"Hey Tina?" I called out to her.

"Yes Gibson?" Her voice was soft, angelic soft.

"I was just wondering, what are your plans? Don't tell me you just ran away. I guess you had some sort of an escape plan or something." I asked casually.

"Hmm... now that you mentioned it, I... I don't have any serious plans. I was just hoping to head by the beach in every place I go. How about you?"

"Nothing really, I just needed to get away for a moment. Travel spontaneously." I answered as my thoughts drifted to the possible places I could go and see. There was an awkward pause of silence after. I was too entailed by my thoughts that I forgot she was still there.

"What are you planning to do? You know since you asked me to get out of this city." Her voice broke my train of thoughts.

There was a pause as I thought of possible things we could do. "How about we make some bucket list?" I asked enthusiastically.

"A bucket list? What are you - fifteen? Such a cliché idea." She snorted at my suggestion.

"Well, I guess my idea makes sense since we both ran away to do something for ourselves. I guess it's just right to start things we have not put in mind to do."

"It's like hitting two birds with one stone." I added.

"You have a point. I find the idea of doing a bucket list appealing." She said as she tried to convince herself.

And then again, there was that silence but this time it was a comfortable one.

"You know what Tina..."

"What Gibson?" She said softly.

"I was hoping to run into you again, you know." I replied.

"Really? Why?" She soundd stonished as she asked.

"I was hoping to return something to you."

"Return to me? What is it?" Then her yawn tells me she was slowly falling asleep.

"The hanky you left at the restaurant is with me." I answered.

"Hanky ? What hanky?" Her voice was getting faint, smaller and weaker and she yawned again.

I laughed in a low husky tone. She was really sleepy. Guess i'll have to talk to her tommorow.

"Good night, Tina." I whispered in the air.

"Gibson...." and then Tina fell asleep with a soft snore. I laughed to myself and closed my eyes as I tried to fall asleep with the thoughts of tomorrow.
