A "Friendly" Reunion

June 5, 2018

***Dalton***

"Hey Clay?" I holler. "Come here baby girl"

She come around the corner and climbs on top of me and straddles my lap, "Yes?"

I put my hands on her waist and sit up to hug her. I feel her kiss my forehead and play with my hair.

"What did you need hun?"

"Nothing honestly" I look up at her and she looks back at me.

Our eyes meet and she gets closer, closing her eyes slowly. Closer. My heart rate goes up. Slowly. Damn it. I feel her slightly shiver. Closer.

Right before our lips touch I hear a knock at the door.

I sit up startled. "Fuck" breathes heavy. "Just a dream" I run my hands down my face with a sigh. Damn it felt so fucking real.

***Clay***

I wake up to the sound of my alarm going off and I slap the damn thing silly til it turns off.

It's 7 am so i get up and go to the kitchen to fix breakfast for my family. Everyone is up by 8 and the food is done by then as well.

I haven't looked at my phone yet so i pick it up and there is a message from Dalton. Oh my gosh yay!

"Morning, Clay" it reads.

"Yes it is," I chuckle "What's up?"

"You free the 11th?"

"Not that I know of. Why?"

"Because I'm gonna come get you. Is that alright?"

I ponder for a moment and look at the calender. Mom's working.

"Gotta ask mom. She works that day."

"Then ask please"

I put my phone down and look at Mom. "Hey Momma?"

She looks at me.

"Dalton wants to know if I'm free the 11th."

"Be back by 9 please?"

"Yes ma'am."

I text Dalton. "Yes I'm free but I have to be home my 9."

"No problem."

We talk for a bit but we both have to go bc of chores and he has work.

***Dalton***

I need to stop thinking about that dream. I look down at my pants and there's a slight bulge. Good thing I'm about to leave.

I gather all my shit and leave to go home.

I get home and let out a long, drawn out, sigh.

Picking up my phone I text Clay, "Hey. You up?"

"No."

"Okay. Let me know when you are."

"Alright."

"Oh good you're up." I smirk

"I hate you. Lol"

"No you don't."

"I'm tired so I'm going to bed. Good night hun."

"Good night."

I put my phone down and stare at the ceiling thinking about that dream. "Ugh. It can't mean anything." I roll over on my side and fall asleep.
