Wednesday

June woke up early, still on her internal clock from teaching. She opened one eye, searching for her cell phone, confused as to the unfamiliar surroundings. After a moment, she realized where she was - on Colin’s couch, wrapped up in a collection of heavy quilted blankets. At some point during the night, she realized he had brought her a pillow and a few more blankets. June snuggled deeper into the couch and pulled the blankets around her chin, taking a moment to collect her thoughts.

It was a perfect evening - a campfire then an orgasm at Colin’s house. Still, something felt off, even though she was burritoed in a pile of blankets and comforters with Muir snoring (cats snored?) at her feet. She realized she wished that Colin was next to her, his long body pressed against hers. She could curl up around him. June wondered if he snuggled, if he slept with socks, which side of the bed he slept on.

“Scoot,” she whispered to Muir, pushing the cat with her toes as she moved to get up. Muir apparently weighed two tons in the morning and refused to move. “Come on, cat,” she said, but Muir only stretched his body out longer and rolled to the side, exposing his belly. What kind of cat snored and asked for belly rubs?

June had just reached her hand out to run her palm along Muir’s soft belly when Colin walked into the room. Without thinking, June asked, “Are you sure your cat isn’t actually a dog?”

“He’s a perfect creature,” Colin responded, his voice cracking and dry in the morning. “Science doesn’t know what makes him so perfect, but I’m sure they’ll find out one day.” He reached down and gave the cat a scratch on his chin, then an aggressive set of scratches on his belly, which only caused the cat to stretch out even more, taking up almost the length of June’s leg. She tentatively reached down and began to pet Muir’s belly, skeptical that any cat would actually enjoy this. Muir’s purring grew even louder, vibrating against the outside of June’s thigh, as the cat stretched and wigged back and forth. June let out an unconscious giggle as a wave of joy washed over her.

“How did you sleep?” Colin asked as his fingers brushed hers through the cat’s fur. June looked up at him, all sleepy eyed and tousle haired, clothed in long pajama pants and a worn t-shirt that said “Seas the Day at Camp Del Mar” with a goofy looking octopus on it.

“I was really cozy,” she said, burrowing further into the blankets when she realized she had fallen asleep without a shirt. “Do you own any normal t-shirts?”

Colin looked down to check what he was wearing, “Nope,” he replied simply. “Most of these are free either from places I worked or from swaps at conferences. I think this shirt is from a camp in San Diego, but I could be wrong.”

“There are camp conferences?” June asked, still wrapping herself in blankets, oddly embarrassed in the morning sun.
