Like every morning she stayed over, we both awoke. Dressed like silent zombies, not remembering half the night. Her hair in a tangled mess, make up undone.
"How was it?" I asked sarcastically..
Smug smile turned into a smirk," Absolutely horrible" the bitter after taste stuck to her tongue.
I helped her with her coat & kissed her head.
" Do you want breakfast or is he.. expecting you?" I sat on the side of the mattress stretching.
She walked back into the circumference of my bed room, took off her heels & flaunted on to the mattress. Our lips conversated with each other.
The Telephone rang in the other room, but we were to into our mischief. The answering machine faded in with the undressing of our clothes. My mind was on a trip: one million different emotions matched up with another one million actions. White sheets gripped at our skin, sinking up & down like a wave. Moans meet with childish giggles; young girl crying for him.
I finished shortly after she did & we dressed again more alive. Helped her with her dress, while she kissed my bare chest. I walked her to the door ; gave her another kiss.
"what'd ya tell him this time?" again with the sarcastic tone I always had with her,
"Your such a smart ass"- she wrapped her arms around my waist-"I'll see you soon, Okay?"
I nodded & pecked her pale lips, watched her legs move down the sidewalk. Returned inside, headed for the phone. Clicked the "messages" button,
"Hey babe, you haven't called me lately. I miss your ways & I just wanted to ta-" I pressed the "delete" button, drifted back to the bed room like a vampire taking shelter from the sun. Laying down, looking up at the ceiling thinking about what could be & what I wanted it to be. I drifted off into a restless sleep..
Awoke to the phone ringing again, my alarm clock read "6:34" shit shit shit, I slept the whole day! I ran to the phone, picked up;
"Hey, its me" I knew from her voice it was her, memory fresh to the games we had played earlier.
"Hi, your calling so soon?..." I yawned in between.
"Listen, he figured out what we had done... I was just wondering if I could stay there a few nights?"
" uhhh yeah," I thought about what I wanted my life to be for a second... cold lonely winter nights I just wanted to hold somebody to keep warm, the aliveness of someone when you got home from work, & I thought about the sex too..
"Hello...?" She seemed concerned,
"Yeah just head over, I'll clean out some space for your stuff & you can stay a while"
She thanked me a couple of times, hung up & I turned on a few lights making my cave feel like a home. Blood pumped through my heart when she arrived, I welcomed her from the door into the family room & for once we weren't in a hurry to run off to the same old bed room...
