Eris took a seat on Troy’s bed and kicked off her heels, while he stood in the corner hanging up his blazer.

“I need to hop in the shower. I sweated my ass off earlier, and I don’t want to have you talking about how funky I am,” he said.

Eris chuckled, while looking around the room and taking in Aunt Flo’s interior decorating.

When he saw that she was caught up in the layout of the bedroom, the Ernie Barnes prints on the walls and the various African American collectibles situated around the room, he added, “You’re welcome to join me.” He meant it in jest, but when he saw the surprised expression on her face, he backpedaled. “I’m just joking.”

“Whatever. You know that was a real invitation,” she responded, needling him.

“I was just saying something.”

“Well, I think I’ll be just fine. You can do this one by yourself,” she said playfully.

“I’ll be back in a few minutes. Just make yourself comfortable.”

Troy left Eris stretched across the bed, thumbing through the copy of Mama Day he had brought up earlier from the library, while he walked down the hall to hop in the shower.

As he stood beneath the blast of water from the shower head, he wondered what Eris was doing while he cleaned himself. She had agreed to stay with him for the night, so he tried to interpret exactly what that meant to her. In college if a woman slept over at his apartment, that meant something was definitely going down on the sex tip. Just from Eris’s mannerisms he knew that she viewed the situation a bit differently. She would kiss him and do things to show she liked him, but there was clearly a line that she was choosing not to cross at this point. As he pondered this, he realized that she was much more than someone to whom he was physically attracted; she was a friend. He loved talking to her, and he realized that was hardly a poor consolation should she not kiss him again that evening.

Once he finished showering, he tossed on the mesh basketball shorts he used as pajamas and a loose fitting t-shirt. There was nothing impressive about what he slept in, but he doubted he needed to be impressive given the fact that he would not be seducing her then. If she had decided to join him in the shower, that would have been another story. But she hadn’t.

Troy entered the bedroom to find Eris stretched across the bed in one of his extra-large t-shirts and little else. The book was open in front of her as she lay on her stomach facing the direction of the pillows. From this angle, he could see the smoothness of the backs of her shapely legs extending from beneath the t-shirt and the rise of her ass like a gorgeous Georgia hill stretching the cotton fabric above it. The visual of her lying there in his clothing was beyond arousing, and he found himself stiffening under the mesh of his basketball shorts.
