the ding of the elevator and stepped in.
“Well…I really don’t know what to say. I
haven’t had any get that close yet, but I thought that’s what women
wanted?”
I laughed. “Now why would you think such a
barbaric idea? Sure some women, but not this woman, I told myself
some years ago that unless an offer so amazing so perfect that I
would never be able to pass it up came along, I was never going to
get married. I just couldn’t think of bringing someone I love into
my life.”
“So cryptic Hars, what do you mean?”
The door opened and there was a blonde and a
balding man waiting to get on. The blonde, taller than me, paid me
no mind, but ogled Carson. The balding man on the other hand looked
at me like he was trying to see through me. Ick. I placed my hand
in Carson’s “Come on hunny, I’m hungry and you said I can spend the
day in bed!” I pouted and Carson quick on the uptake pulled me
closer to him.
“Oh baby…I didn’t say you’d be sleeping.” We
may have been playing but his voice caused real sensations in my
belly. I shivered as he pulled me out of the elevator.
“How come you never talk to me like that
anymore Nick?” The blonde accused him as they stepped in the
elevator.
“Didn’t know you wanted me too dear.” And
the elevator blessedly closed out the rest of that
conversation.
“I think I may feel sorry for that man.” I
laughed. “Come on hunny, I am hungry, and then I was thinking about
hitting the pool.”
“Coffee first,” and we walked into the
reception area where they had a whole buffet set up. I got excited
and it must have transferred through my hand because he asked me.
“You like buffets do you?”
“Oh you have no idea. You thought last
night’s pizza and burger event was amazing, just watch me.” Three
full plates and twenty minutes later I sat back and finished my
coffee. “That was great.”
“Are you kidding me? Where does it all go?
Do you have a hollow leg?”
“No I just have learned to appreciate my
food with overzealousness, I’m a lot more active now. I do mix
martial arts, running, weights, and yoga, and this is weekly…well
most weeks and weekends are used for playing, doing whatever I want
to do – although not this weekend apparently.” I grumbled the last
part.
“So, you have taken a good look at the
schedule for this weekend then.”
“Yeah. Not looking forward to summer camp
from hell.”
“What classes did you opt for and what sort
of nut makes twenty-something year olds take classes for a
reunion?”
“O-oh I know this one.” We laughed. Besides
being the head cheerleader, the quarterback’s girlfriend, she was
also class president for many years. We knew she was going to be in
charge of the reunion before we graduated. “So how long will Kyle
sleep?”
“Hmm. Kyle is still revolting the Marine
wake up time. He tells me all the time ‘I lost four years of sleep
and I’m trying to catch up.’” I smiled because that sounded like
the Kyle I knew.
“But I thought he liked it?”
“Oh he did…he just likes sleep more. Besides
he’s more active in the evenings”
“And let me guess you’re the morning
person.”
“Some days, other days I like to sleep too.”
He leveled with his eyes at me, “and I would’ve gone back to bed,
but there was a beautiful woman sleeping in my bed, so I opted to
watch her sleep instead.”
I swallowed hard. “How long were you
watching me?”
“Long enough to know you still purr in your
sleep,” his own voice purred. Oh boy, I had forgotten about that
habit, and no one else had said anything either.
“Ok so swimming?” I asked changing the
subject.
“You know it’s really Kyle who likes to
swim, I prefer to run or sparing.”
“That sounds good too, where can we go?” The
look on his face was priceless. “No I’m dead serious, let’s go
spar. I’ll take you on, best of five.”
“Hars…”
“Chicken?”
“No!” he said with a heavy dose
“Well…I really don’t know what to say. I
haven’t had any get that close yet, but I thought that’s what women
wanted?”
I laughed. “Now why would you think such a
