Yard Sale

“It’s time to wake up.”

“What time is it?” Jason mumbled into his pillow even as he cracked an eye open and noted that the sun wasn’t even up yet.

“It’s five o’clock,” Haley said, giving his shoulder a gentle shake. “Come on, I let you sleep in late.”

“It’s Saturday,” he muttered with a resigned sigh as he rolled over onto his back and kicked off the covers, well aware of the fact that his wife wouldn’t leave him alone until she got what she wanted.

With a lazy wave of his hand towards his morning erection, he said, “Just tuck me back in when you’re done.” With that said, he closed his eyes and yawned as he settled back against his pillow, more than ready to fall back asleep, but his wife, it seemed, had different plans.

“Jason? Jason? Jason!” she said with an exasperated sigh, shaking him awake again.

“You’re done already?” he asked, yawning as he moved to roll over. “That was fast,” he mumbled, blindly reaching for the covers.

“I thought you wanted to spend the day with me,” Haley said, sounding inhumanly perky at five in the morning.

“I do,” he said, nodding into his pillow.

“Then get up,” she said, pressing a kiss against his cheek.

He groaned as he rolled over onto his back. “I thought we were hitting yard sales this morning.”

“We are, but first we have to do a little research and decide on our plan of attack,” she said, sounding determined.

He forced his eyes open just long enough so that he could see where she was, reached out and grabbed her by the waist and pulled her small body down next to him, curled up behind her and closed his eyes with a gratified sigh.

“Why don’t we,” he said, pausing to press a kiss against her shoulder, “go back to sleep and when we wake up we can waste away the rest of the morning trying out a few new positions that would put the kama sutra to shame.” He pressed another kiss between her shoulders as he continued, “Then I’ll make you lunch and if you still want to hit the yard sales-”

“But, all the good stuff will be gone by then,” Haley stubbornly pointed out with a firm shake of her head as she quickly disengaged herself from his hold.

He considered pointing out once again that it was just junk, but that would only get him banned from yard sale hopping with her again, something that normally wouldn’t bother him, but he’d been looking forward to spending a kid-free weekend with his wife for the past two months and he wasn’t about to get stuck wasting the day away on the couch missing her. So, with a groan and a muttered curse, he forced himself to get up and spend the day with his wife, hitting yard sales.
