If you knew me (you're so lucky you don't), you'd know that the only thing I want to do after sex is go to sleep for a bit. And by a bit I mean hours and hours, preferably overnight or at least for the remains of the day.
So when Ben gently turned me out the door I contemplated not doing my jean-buttons back up but I did and then boy, was I surprised when I ran into Caleb coming down the basement steps and I quickly tried to casually fix my Ben-hair, as he had it gripped good and tight in his hand and it's a disaster.
Oh, I was just looking for- He stopped. No amount of surprise casual-ness will hide what I was just up to. Jesus. You can't even wait until dark?
Did you need something? Ice will cover my fluster. Ice will freeze it in place forever and I'll never ever change. I'll never be as cool and collected as the devil, I'll never have a poker face or be able to hide a thing. I'm clear. See-through. A jellyfish.
A well-fucked jellyfish.
I was hoping to steal you away for some brunch but now I feel as if I should just go back upstairs and pretend I never saw you.
You could do that.
Do you want to get ready and go out?
No. I need to lie down. I start laughing. I'm the man. Don't men always want to fall asleep right after sex? Yeah, that's me. I'm a dude. So happy. Be right back, going to pee in the snow.
What's so funny?
Nothing.
Are you laughing at me?
No, I'm tired. Maybe brunch tomorrow.
You work tomorrow.
That makes me laugh more, only it doesn't sound much like a laugh. More like a sob. True. Maybe later, when I get up.
Are you alright?
Oh, I'm good. I'm so good.
