Chapter 6
“Here you go. Keep the change.”
At two o’clock in the morning, Meg and Cam stumbled out of a cab in front of Meg’s apartment. They wrapped their arms around one another to remain upright and progressed slowly to the door. “Celebrated a little too much, I’d say.”
“Do you think my car is going to be okay at The Brickyard?”
“I love you, Meg, but I hate to tell you…your car is a piece of shit.”
“Hey! I love that car.”
“I know you do, but I can’t figure out why. Perhaps it’s the same reason you love me.”
“What’s that mean?”
“How the hell should I know? I’m completely wasted.”
She fumbled with the keys to her apartment door. Holding it up to eyeball it, she said, “I don’t think this is the key to my apartment.”
Cam pointed, “That’s your crawdad keychain.”
“Oh, you’re right.” She tried the key in the door. This time her efforts were rewarded. “Ha! I did it,” she slurred.
They staggered, toppling over the threshold and into one another’s arms. Laughing they both worked to shut the door.
“So…tomorrow is my father’s birthday dinner at Ruth's Chris. What do you think I should get for him?”
“How about a time machine so he can go back and un-ignore you?”
She frowned. “Ouch. That’s hurtful.”
“Meg.” He cupped her chin. “I didn’t mean it like that. I’m sorry.” He kissed her pursed lips.
“You always were a candid drunk.”
“I apologize. Why don’t we go pick him out a nice necktie in the morning?”
“I suppose that’s about the caliper of gift I had in mind.”
“Caliper of gift?”
“Well, I’m definitely not going to spend my precious time pondering a thoughtful gift.”
“No. You’re not. And if you tried, I wouldn’t let you.” He pulled her to her feet. “Come.”
“Where are we going?”
“Bath, then bed.” He pulled her down the hallway to the bathroom. He turned on the faucet to let it heat, and then helped her out of her clothes as she divested him of his.
When they stood naked before one another she said, “Seems a shame to waste good water.” She shot her blue eyes to the steaming glass.
“Are you saying we should shower together?”
“I believe that is what I’m saying.”
“I think you’re more drunk than I thought.”
“I want you, Cam.” Oh God. He would never be able to deny her irresistible sex appeal. His cock had been hard since they’d slow danced at the bar. “Besides, I can see you want me too.” She grasped his erection.
“I always want you Nutmeg.”
She shook her head, “So fuck me in the shower.”
“Christ Meg. What about all that talk of testing our relationship future?”
“Our relationship doesn’t have a future. We only have the here and the now.”
She pulled him into the shower—an action he was glad about because it meant she wouldn’t be able to decipher his tears from the shower water. She took a purple poof and filled it with vanilla bath gel—her scent. She lathered up the contraption while he pondered her favorite color—purple. It was in evidence all over her apartment: her bedclothes, her bath towels, the poof she held in her hands.
