Thinking About Us

Crew knocked on Emily’s door and then opened it. He felt weird just walking in without announcing himself even though she’d told him enough times he could.

“It smells good in here,” he said, then walked in the kitchen and stopped at the sight before him. “Holy shit.”

“Do you like?” she asked, turning in a circle.

She was in a tight red dress that could only be described as having been painted on. Her feet were bare and her hair was down and all tousled.

She was a walking pinup and one off of a dream come true for a man that figured he’d never find a woman he wanted as much as he did Emily.

And every time he saw her, the need was just greater.

“Shit yeah,” he said. “These are for you.”

He pushed the roses in front of her. “They match my dress,” she said. “Maybe we can put some petals on the bed later. Nah, that’s cheesy. Sorry. I had sexy on the mind tonight. That would be romantic.”

“No reason you can’t have both,” he said.

“You’re right. But anyway, you delivered this dress to the house two days ago. I was getting worried it might not make it in time.”

“If I’d known what was in the box when I rang your bell I would have come in the door with you and had you try it on.”

“Then I’m glad you didn’t know and got to witness the surprise of it. It’s not my normal type of clothing.”

“I’d say not,” he said. It looked more like clubwear on a Friday night in downtown Boston, but he wasn’t complaining. She’d bought it and put it on for him and any man would love that.

And it made him wonder what was going through her mind. Where he stood with her when they didn’t talk much about what they had.

“But you like it?” she asked.

She was looking awfully unsure of herself for some reason, which was unlike her too. “My reaction wasn’t strong enough? Maybe you need to grab my crotch to see the physical one I’m having?”

She laughed. “Okay. That helps.”

“It smells good in here,” he said again, trying to roll his tongue in his mouth and gather his wits. “What did you make?”

“I’m grilling steaks. Well, grilling them indoors. I don’t get to use the grill section on my stovetop often. I’ve got homemade potato wedges with spices on them in the air fryer too. That’s probably what you’re smelling. No veggie. I know you don’t care for them much. It’s a meat and potato night with dessert.”

“You went all out for me and here I just got you these lame roses.”

“Roses are never lame,” she said. She’d set them on the counter, but she turned to get a vase out of a cabinet and then filled it with water and started to arrange them just right.

“Cliché,” he said. He’d never been a big fan of what he considered this Hallmark holiday. And since he wasn’t sure what the two of them really had either, he didn’t want to go overboard.
