Slowly my mind begins to come back into focus, and I realize that I am still holding her against the wall. She begins to lower her feet onto the floor, and I brace myself for the realization that there is nothing left for us to say. I am now just an anecdote. I am that professor that she had sex with that one time when she was in college.

“Penny for your thoughts?” she asks.

I start to speak, but close my mouth.

“That bad?”

I smile.

“I just wonder what happens now,” I say.

“I don’t know,” she responds.

Her honesty doesn’t hurt me like I thought it would.

She continues, “I don’t normally do this.”

“What? With someone older?”

“No. I’m not out there like that. I don’t want you to think I’m all casual and loose. I only share myself with a guy if he’s special.”

“So I’m special?” I joke.

“You’d have to be,” she says, smiling.

I cup her face with my hands and kiss her.

“So will I see you again?” I ask.

“Do you want to see me again?”

“Yes. Very much so.”

“Well, then I guess we’ll be seeing more of each other.”

We walk over to the couch, where our clothes are scattered on the floor. She bends over and starts to get dressed. When she puts on her bra and begins buttoning her shirt, I ask, “Are you still leaving?”

She puts on a mock frown. “I don’t want my roommate freaking out. Plus, we’re supposed to be going to chapel in the morning on campus with our sorority sisters.”

“Oh,” I say. “Well, are you alert enough for the drive?”

“I’m good. Especially now.” She grins at me coyly.

“OK,” I say, smiling. “Well, can you call to let me know you make it home safely?”

“I can do that.”

I call out my phone number as she punches it into her phone.

As much as it pains me to let her leave, I walk her out to her car. As she gets in and closes her door, I remind her to call me. She nods and smiles.

When I walk back into the house, I grab a comforter and lie down on the couch, where I can still smell traces of her in the fabric. Turning off the TV, I stare up at the ceiling, replaying everything that happened tonight. I lose track of time thinking about her, my erection still throbbing from the memory of her atop me.

Deep into my thoughts, my cell phone rings.

“Hello?”

“Ed, it’s me. I’m home.”

“Great,” I say, suddenly feeling the weight of sleep knocking at the back of my eyelids.

“Make sure you save my number in your phone,” she says.

“OK.”

“Well, I’ll talk to you later,” she says. “Gotta get up early.”

“You have sweet dreams, Tanya.”

“You too, Ed.”
