MY EYES POP OPEN TO sunlight streaming in through the window. For a minute I lie there listening for any sounds outside my room. I hear the T.V. quietly playing from the living room. Still in my clothes from yesterday, I decide I need a shower, but first I need to check on my ancient guest. I pull the door open quietly, sure I didn’t make a noise, but still his head swings around.

“Hi.” I give a shy wave and head toward the kitchen. I make two cups of coffee in the Kuerig and head out to the couch.

“I wasn’t sure how you drink coffee so I left it black.”

“It smells wonderful.” He grabs the steaming mug and takes a sip, gives me a thumbs up and continues drinking.

“I was thinking after breakfast, I could run down the street and grab you some clothes. Once you look like you belong in this century, I’ll take you out around town.”

He reaches down to his tattered clothes on the ground and pulls out a wad of bills.

“Will this be enough?”

I grab the crinkled bills and straighten them into a pile. He has thirty six dollars to his name.

“It will be more than enough. Come on, let’s make some grub.”

“I’m not sure I like grub, but it sounds interesting.”

I give him a tour of the kitchen and show him how to use everything. His innocent fascination with modern conveniences is adorable.

“I’m going to shower, then go pick up some clothes for you. Will you be okay while I’m gone?”

“Yes, I will continue watching your talking box.”

“We call that a T.V. and actually, that’s a good idea. You can catch up on a lot of how the world has changed.”

He refills his coffee cup and hurries out the living room, I guess he’s adjusting well.

After a quick shower, I tell him I’ll be back soon. His distracted wave goodbye is evidence he is enthralled by whatever crappy day time show he found.

I didn’t have brothers growing up and I’ve never lived with a man besides my father. It feels strange to go shopping for one, I don’t even know what kind of underwear he likes. The image of him standing naked in front of me flashes before my eyes and I feel my cheeks heat up from the memory. I really hope I am his long lost love because I desperately want to fuck him. I grab a pack of boxer briefs, a pair of jeans, a couple of shirts, a totally random guess on sneakers and a jacket. Proud of my haul, I check out and head home.

I’m not surprised to find Asald hasn’t moved a muscle. I drop the bags next to him on the couch and look at what he’s watching.

“Judge Judy, huh? I was thinking History Channel would be better but hey, whatever floats your boat.”

“This woman is tough, I like that she doesn’t have to torture the people.”

“Yeah, these days we’re not really into that. It’s not good for ratings, you know.
