“How was the literary festival?” Derek asked as I held the phone with one hand and dug through my refrigerator with the other. I was hungry but needed to buy groceries. I’d been ordering take-out for weeks, and I was quite frankly tired of spending so much money. I actually enjoyed cooking but despised the grocery store.

I sighed, glanced at the dozen roses in my trash can—a gift Lloyd had delivered to my apartment, the only contact he’d made in the two weeks since our little meeting—and left the kitchen when I realized my search for food was fruitless. As I plopped down on my bed and stared at the ceiling, I said, “It was great. Those readers know how to party.”

“Good. I’m glad you had a good time. I trust your flights were comfortable?”

“Yes, Mr. Hill. The flights, the limo, and the hotel were all great. I can’t wait for you to read my blog. I’m even including a video tour of the jet.”

“Really? I’d love to see that.”

“Yeah, I think I’m going to start doing some vlogs. They’re pretty popular now.”

“Sounds like a great idea. So, what did you have for dinner?”

“Nothing yet? You?”

“Nothing for me either. I’m working late, probably have something delivered. What do you have a taste for?”

“Why? You gonna come cook for me?”

“I wish I could. I make a mean boiled hot dog.”

I chuckled. “Hmm, well, I don’t have a taste for a hot dog, but I’d love to have a huge burger from The Kitchen Sink.”

“The Kitchen Sink?”

“Yeah, their slogan is, ‘We put everything in our burgers including the kitchen sink.’”

He laughed. “I see. What’s your favorite thing to eat there?”

“The meatloaf burger is too good for words. Damn, I wish they delivered. I don’t feel like going out to get it.”

“If I was there, I’d bring you one.”

“If you brought me one, I’d definitely show you my appreciation.”

“Really? How?”

“Hmm, I’d strip you...”

“Yeah...”

“And kiss you...”

“Would you?”

“Mm-hmm. And lick you...”

“Where?”

“Wherever you want me to.”

“Shit!”

“What?”

“I’ve got another call, baby. I’ve got to go. Hey, I’m gonna come see you next week if that’s okay with you.”

“It’s more than okay.”

After we ended the call, I lay in bed thinking of Derek, my body on fire. In teasing him, I’d messed myself up, but I was too tired and famished to do anything about it.

Two hours later, I was still in the exact same spot on my bed, having fallen asleep. When my eyes popped open, I wasn’t sure what awakened me. It took me a full two minutes to recognize the sound that had ripped me from my sleep as knocking at my door. I climbed out of bed and shuffled to the door, knowing it was either Denise or Trevia, since they were the only people who ever visited me. Maybe they’d finally decided to respect me enough not to just use their keys and barge in on me. Still, it could’ve been another delivery from Lloyd, but if that was the case, I was going to be pissed the hell off at having my sleep disturbed for that crap.
