I really don’t remember the drive home, I do remember closing my door at my apartment and kicking my shoes off before going to my bedroom and collapsing on my bed still fully clothed. I drifted off to sleep almost instantly with the faint smell of flowers and baby powder on my pillow and a tangy slightly musky scent from my sheets. I remember thinking “I’ll have to change those out tomorrow” I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing in the kitchen. I stumbled out and answered it. It was Todd telling me I didn’t have to go back and pick up Anne. The roads were passable now and she was going to try to drive home herself. Apparently the road crews had been hard at work all night and the plows and salt trucks had cleared up most of the main roads. “Okay man.” I said. “Give me a call back when she gets home so I’ll know she made it okay.” I added.
“I will,” he said, “And Jim, really, thank you for yesterday, and man, those boots… you hit a nerve my friend. You’ll have to work really hard to piss Anne off enough to let you go as a friend now. Well.. that and the way you treated her while playing. She’s declared you a keeper for life.” He laughed and said he’d call when she got home. I hung up the phone and smiled, thinking I really need to work on getting some time set aside for more playtime. Even if it was to join the both of them as they’ve repeatedly invited me to at their house sometime. I don’t’ know, that’s still a bit of a stretch for me. This boy scout is open minded but acting on it is still kind of weird. I yawned and stretched and looked at the clock, Nine o’clock.. morning or night? I peeked around the corner to look out my balcony door. Yeah, sunshine, it’s daytime. I should be sleeping, so I stumbled back to bed and smiled as I took in those sweet and musky scents again and closed my eyes to dream and remember playtime with Anne.
