After the shower, we went to the bed. The room was dark, along with the entire city. The fog laced between the tall buildings and lurked all around us. Crow eased me down onto the soft comforter.

“You sure about this?” he asked, kissing my wet hair.

“I was sure about this a long time ago.”

He pulled me closer and kissed my forehead, my cheek, and finally my mouth. His lips were soft and fresh from the shower. I melted into him as we pressed together. His warm tongue touched mine and every fiber in my body pulsated. No more waiting. I started to climb on top of him, but heard the soft sound of someone snickering. Crow yanked me down and threw the comforter over my body. I had no idea what was happening. He jumped out of bed and stood in front of a man I didn’t recognize.

“How’d you get in?” he yelled.

“Same way you did,” he said, patting Crow on the shoulder.

“What the hell are you doing here, Denson?” Crow shoved the man.

“Thought I’d come find you in person. Time to get down to the lake.”

By that point, I was irritated beyond belief. The kind of irritated that blurs your thinking, making you see red. His friend Denson had just ruined the second almost perfect moment in my life. I was starting to think Crow and I had bad timing. I sat up, keeping the comforter around my shoulders. “Are you serious? We were in the middle of something.”

“Serious as a straight line, missy.” He smiled at me.

Crow smacked the back of Denson’s head. “Keep your eyes to yourself.”

I wrapped the comforter tighter, very unhappy about the turn of events.

“I’m sorry I interrupted, missy, but Crow and I got business to take care of,” Denson said.

“You could’ve waited a few more minutes,” I said.

“Yeah, that’s probably all the fella’s got in him anyways.” Denson laughed.

“Cool it.” Crow put his pants back on.

It was over.

“So that’s it? We’re done?” I asked.

“I already offered you a spot.”

“Yeah, but do you want me to come with you?” I know I sounded like a whiny love-struck teenager, but that’s exactly how I felt and I needed some validation. After all, I would’ve been uprooting my life to live in the forest with Crow and a bunch of strangers.

“Whoa, just a minute there. We never said nothing about no lady friend tagging along. This one looks like a bag of trouble.”

“You don’t even know me.”

“Don’t need to.” He laughed. “I can tell by your taste in men.”

Crow pushed him out away, ordering him to wait by the bar. “Sorry about him. He’s a little rough around the edges.”

“He’s a jerk,” I said. “And I totally have blue balls now.”

“Ladies don’t get blue balls.”

“You know what I mean.”

“I want you to come with me.”

That would’ve been enough to convince me to go along, but like a greedy child, I wanted more. “Why do you want me to come?”

“You make me feel like I can do anything.
