DAVEY

IT WAS ALL I could do not to drive 100 mph from the airport to downtown. Speeding through the streets of downtown at 2 am, not suspicious at all. A ticket I do not need. I held my breath as I strolled as casually as I could muster to the front desk of the hotel. Please let him have remembered the key card. Please, please, please.

The clerk didn’t seem surprised at all by my inquiry at this hour. That was a good sign. I leaned back against the counter while I waited and looked across the lobby to the now closed bar.

Every day. Every damn day he has to walk past there. Did he do that on purpose? Is he trying to test himself every day? Is this his first slip? It must be. The last count I heard him mention was 387 days, and that was ten days ago.

When the clerk returned with my key card. I thanked him and then turned back.

“Is there a different check-out procedure for the long-term guests?”

He looked confused.

“Do you need extra notice, or can someone just wake up and say I’m checking out today?”

“We prefer 24 hours, just to have the billing in order, but the system generates a bill every night, so… really, whenever you want is fine.”

I nodded and headed for the elevators, increasing my pace with each step before I finally bolted down the hall to Carter’s suite, checking door numbers as I whizzed by. I hadn’t been here before. But the clerk gave me detailed directions of where to go once I left the elevator. I didn’t feel any sense of relief until I heard that delightful little chirp to let me know the key card actually worked. Phew.

I exhaled and stepped into the silent suite and snagged the door before it slammed. I wondered if Carter was passed out drunk and my attempts to not wake him were unnecessary. The bedroom of the suite was to the left, easily found with a trail of boots, jacket, socks leading me to the slightly ajar door.

The sight that greeted me in the bedroom took my breath.

It’s been seven years since I saw this man naked. Seven years since I’ve seen this much of his skin. But seven years ago I didn’t get to drink in the view I have before me now. In fact, I never had this view of him.

He had undressed. Down to his charcoal gray boxer briefs. The clothes he had made it to the bedroom still wearing were in a pile on the chair in the far corner of the room. For a fleeting moment, I wondered if the bartender had helped with this portion of the get Carter safely to bed mission, too.

I hurried that thought from my head and continued to stare at the man before me. The man I blamed for everything wrong in my life for so many years. The same man who took my breath away every time we shared the same airspace.
