Maggie

Getting so engrossed in my book I block out the world. It's my way of knowing that I really like it. I got so into a book once that when Lily came into the room I didn't hear her and as soon as she spoke I jumped three feet off the bed. In my defense I was reading a really scary part of the story and it was late at night. It still scared the crap out of me.

So tonight I'm curled up in my bed, it's late and I'm in the creepiest part of the book. When my phone goes off, once again I jump sitting up and looking around the darkened room before I lay back. My heart racing in my chest. I really need to find a better time to read spooky books. My phone rings again and I look at the caller ID, Trent and his smile lights up the screen.

"What are you doing?" His voice comes through sounding tired.

Rolling over I look at the clock. It's two in the morning. He must have just gotten done at work. I've been laying in bed reading for the last two hours. I'm becoming a night owl. Having found that I write better at night my bedtime is getting later each night. I've been awake every night this week when he's called me.

"Just laying in bed reading. How was work tonight?" I can hear just the slightest groan from him as I mark my page and close the book. That's a book for the daylight hours.

I hear him shuffling around then sighs as he gets comfortable. "Busy. I swear the closer we get to spring break the busier we get. I think I had twice as many kids in tonight with fake IDs. You know you're gonna kill me telling me you're in bed talking to me, right. What book are you reading sweetheart?"

How am I killing him?

He asks me every night and every night I'm reading something different. "A scary murder mystery. It's got my attention for a change."

I let his comment rest, I'm not sure what he's getting at. We agreed to just be friends there was nothing wrong with what I said, I don't think. It's not like I was telling him I'm in sexy lingerie getting myself off. Not that anything like that has ever happened to me before. Parker made sure he was long gone and I was still needing a release when he would come over. And phone sex would never happen. The more I think back about it, the more I believe our relationship was all about him.

"I like those kinds of books, a good mystery. The kind that makes you think. I like figuring out who could have done it." Trent whispers and shuffles again. It sounds like material rubbing against the phone and then I hear him curse as it sounds like he dropped the phone.

"What are you doing? You keep moving around." I hear him chuckling softly at my question.

"Sorry dropped the phone on the bed. I'm getting undressed. I smell like stale beer and fried food. I'm making myself gag on the smell. I need a shower." He explains and I go visual.

Trent in a shower.... damn I'm horny

Remembering that first night we met. Finding him in the hall in just a white towel. His tan chest glistening with the water droplets that rolled down his chiseled torso. Those six pack abs were so inviting and I wanted nothing more but to touch his warm soft skin. To let my lips brush over him, licking every drop from his skin. I wanted him that night, I wanted his hands on me. I wanted to let him hold me and God I wanted to kiss him. But I didn't, I pulled away, inside myself and brushed him off.

What was I thinking really?

"Maggie? Sweetheart you there?" He breaks my thoughts and I feel the heat of embarrassment fill me. What am I thinking? We agreed to be friends, that's it, I shouldn't be thinking that's he's hot or that I want anything more. I'm not interested in a relationship.
