Tuesday

I stretched, taking a moment to appreciate all the tender aches in my body.

Aches that Daniel had put there.

I smiled, remembering all the ways he worked me over, each time somehow better than the last.

It was magic. He was magic.

I rolled, though not far, since the narrow surface of the mattress meant I could roll right onto the floor if I wasn’t careful, and came face to face with a softly snoring Daniel. Never one to pass up a golden opportunity, I took full advantage and let my eyes wander over the planes of his face. The press had once called him the ‘baby face with the golden voice.’ I knew he’d been young when he recorded his first album, and his face had made him appear even younger. And even now, he looked slightly younger than he was, but the slight stubble growing on his cheeks made him look more like his twenty-six years. As did the exhaustion in his eyes he didn’t hide nearly as well as he thought he did.

Daniel was world weary, and it made me sad. I wanted to be both the one to give him a safe place to land when he needed a break but also reignite his passion in adventuring around the world.

I wasn’t in a place to do either of those things.

What we had here was beautiful, and I would treasure it always, but it was temporary.

Everything was temporary.

“You’re being creepy,” he muttered, his eyes still closed.

“Am I?”

“I can feel you staring.”

“I can’t help it. I like looking at you.”

A small smile played at his lips as he slowly opened his eyes. “I like looking at you too. Creeper.”

I laughed, shoving him playfully and a bit too forcefully. I watched in helpless horror as his arms flailed and he landed with a dull thud on the floor. “Sorry! Are you okay?” I peered down over the edge of the mattress.

“First my head, now my ass,” he grumbled. “You’re a menace.”

“Yeah,” I agreed, watching him bounce to his feet.

“Tuesday?”

“Hmm?”

“You’re staring again.”

“I can’t help it! You’re naked. And hard. And it’s right in my face!” I gestured to the appendage pointing right between my eyes.

Swiveling his hips, he invited me to inspect him more closely. “Come give us a proper good morning, siren.”

I pushed to a sitting position, swinging my legs over the edge of the bed and pulling him between them. I looked up into his chocolatey eyes and with my hands on his hips, I gave him a good morning kiss.

We set the score cards on fire.

“What do you want to do today?”

I was finishing up my minimalist bathroom routine when I heard his question through the flimsy plastic partition that served as Suzie Q’s bathroom door. “I want to sell, sell, sell.”

Today was forecasted to be slightly cooler than the day before, so I was hoping the crowds would be back with a vengeance. Mama had bills to pay. I exited the bathroom and slipped my feet into a pair of neon yellow flip flops.
