REVELATIONS

With bark in her hair and a stuttering heart, Mac drove up the length of the driveway and then past their temporary home. She wanted to unload the sheds close to where they would likely need to be assembled. She parked and headed straight into the house to get herself cleaned up a bit. Adding sweat to the reek of sex certainly wouldn’t make it any less noticeable, so a shower was vital.

It wasn’t until she turned to close the bathroom door that she noticed Neil coming into the house.

“Gotta pee. You can shower with me after if you feel a need. I certainly do.” Then she slammed the door to drown out anything he might say. She had just closed the lid and flushed when he strolled right in.

“Hey! I don’t walk in on you when you’re takin’ a leak.”

“First, how would I know? Maybe you will once you’ve known me for a week. We don’t live in the same house, so you’re not always around when I use the facilities. Second, why would you think I’d care? For that matter, why do you care?” Before she could even answer, he covered her mouth with his hand.

“I don’t think you actually do care. You’re not the type to worry about peeing in front of a guy you’ve been having all kinds of sex with. The other kind of bathroom break is another story, and I’ll go so far as to say it’s for the best if people retain a certain amount of mystery in a relationship. Sharing has limits.” Mac almost smiled, but not quite.

“You don’t care about me walking in here, but you’re freaked out about something else right now, or I wouldn’t have been so rude as to barge in on you.”

“At least you admit that it is rude. Who says I’m freaked about anything?” He just stared at her, stone cold, and waited. Her stomach dropped.

“Shit. Fuck. Damn it! I am so totally an idiot for saying that. Sorry. I am not a dishonest or passive-aggressive woman. I’m so off-balance with you. You keep saying things that freak me out, and if I didn’t feel anything they wouldn’t bother me in the least. I’m fucking terrified of my own feelings, which is ridiculous. When did I become such a coward?”

“Coward, honey? I don’t think so. Just off-balance, like you said. We talked about this before. You haven’t had any time to think or absorb. I have. I’m being impatient and have no excuse for it. I shouldn’t be pushing you.

“We’re both feeling the intensity, and I don’t believe there’s a difference in how we feel. I just think I’ve had a bit more time to take a breath and accept it. I came in here to apologize, because I saw you freak out and I didn’t want you feeling that way any longer than necessary. I want you to be happy with me, not feel pressured.”

“I do feel happy. Even when I’m freaking out, it’s not because I’m really upset.
