Chapter Six

That same evening, Suzanne was awakened by a loud crash. She sat up in the darkness and swung her legs over the side of the couch. “Who's there!? I'm warning you, I know Karate, and I'm not afraid to use it!”

The chandelier above the table turned on and Candi stepped out. “You know Karate?” she asked.

“Geezus. You scared me half to death! Are you okay? What are you doing in there? Herding elephants?”

“I'm sorry. I was trying to be quiet. I was searching for a microwavable bowl, and I dropped a plate on the floor. Don't worry. I'm sweeping it up. I didn't get to eat much earlier, and I'm hungry. Want to eat with me?”

Suzanne wiped the sleep from her eyes. “Sure. I can eat. I can always eat. I have the metabolism of a track star.” She sauntered over to the table to sit down while Candi finished microwaving the rest of the spaghetti.

When the microwave dinged, Candi served two plates, then microwaved the bread sticks for about thirty seconds. She finally sat down wearing a blue plaid terry-cloth robe. “Here's your plate,” she said setting Suzanne's steaming plate of spaghetti in front of her. “You're going to need to keep your energy up for all those Karate tournaments, Miyagi son.”

“Oh, shut up,” grumbled Suzanne. “So I really don't know Karate. A burglar wouldn't know that.”

“He would if he tried to kick your butt,” laughed Candi. “I can just picture you trying to Karate chop someone to death.” She motioned a Karate chop and shouted, “Hiii-ya!”

“Very funny,” grumbled Suzanne. She still had her eyes squinted as if she was trying to adjust to the well lit dining room. “Is that my robe you're wearing?” she asked recognizing the blue bathrobe.

“It is. I thought maybe I shouldn't be wearing the other one in case your ex comes by. Do you want it back? I can give it back to you, but I sleep in the nude.” She began to untie the waistband.

“No, no,” said Suzanne, waving her hands in the air. “Please don't. There are times and places for being nude, and right now isn't one of those times.”

Candi giggled. “Okay. Didn't think so. So it's okay if I wear it then?”

“Uh huh. You're fine.” Suzanne paused for a moment. “Wait? You sleep in the nude? Do you ever wear underwear?”

Candi grinned. “No, I don't. Why do you ask?”

Suzanne smiled. “Now I know why I saw your bare ass at the hospital. I wondered why you weren't wearing underpants. I thought maybe you weren't aware you had to keep your underwear on when you wore a hospital gown.”

Candi laughed. “Oh, I'm sorry. If I had known that my apartment was going to go up in flames and that I was going to wind up being gawked at by a firefighter in my hospital room, I would have bought a pair of panties for the occasion.”

Suzanne chuckled. “A pair of panties just for the occasion? Would they have had firetrucks on them or firefighters? Maybe some ladders?”

Candi rolled her eyes and laughed.
