“And I get to stay home and work in my pajamas, so who’s the winner here?” she said with a laugh.
“You. Definitely you.” I let her have the last bite of the muffin and then we lay back in bed and talked. About our in-between lives. About funny college stories and mishaps and relationships. It was going to take us a long time to catch up on those eight years.
“I missed you,” she said, smoothing out a crease in the blankets. “So much. But it had been so long and it was almost like I’d built up this story in my head that you had moved on and didn’t want to talk to me anymore. How dumb is that?” Not that dumb, because I’d basically done the same thing.
“I missed you. A lot.” I reached out and took her hand and kissed the back of it. Like we were in a movie. She sighed.
“But now I’m back and I don’t have any plans to go anywhere.”
“Good. Because I don’t want you to.” I’d just gotten her back. She leaned toward me and I gathered her up in my arms in a hug.
“What do you want to do today?” I asked and she looked up at me.
“You?”
I laughed. “Other than that. And I think we should cool it on the sex for a little while. Until we figure out what the fuck we’re actually doing.” Her lips formed the cutest pout that probably would have helped her get out of a murder charge.
“Fine,” she said. “But that means I get to tease you a lot.” What the fuck had I gotten myself into? I remembered all her exact ticklish spots, so I stuck my fingers under her arm and she squealed and tried to get away.
“No fair!” she yelled.
“Totally fair,” I said.
She rolled over onto her back and I wanted so much to straddle her and then lick her neck and kiss my way down her body until I set up camp between her legs. Seriously, going down on a girl was one of my most-favorite things in the world. I would devote a significant portion of my day to it if I could.
“Stop looking at me like that,” she groaned and flipped over onto her stomach. Well, I could go down on her like this too . . .
I needed to stop thinking about that.
“Like what,” I said, getting on my stomach and sliding up so I was next to her.
“Looking at me like you’re picturing me naked. It makes the whole ‘hands-off’ thing a lot harder.”
“That’s what she said.” She shoved me away.
“You’re terrible.”
“Yes, I am,” I said, nodding. “So. Do you want to go to your house so you can change and then maybe come back here?” She sat up and nodded.
“Sounds good.” After that, I didn’t know, but we definitely needed to get out of bed. It was just too easy to think about pulling her underwear off with my teeth and then fucking her all day.

In the end, I rode in Molly’s car back to her place.
“Swanky,” I said. She lived in a brand-new building on the nicer side of town that was almost within walking distance from the café.
“It’s temporary,” she said as we got out of the car. “I actually hate it. So sterile. But I needed a place in a hurry and this was available.” She squinted at the modern façade with its concrete and rows of windows. It looked almost like a weird office building.
“Anyway.” She got out her keys and I followed her up the stairs to her unit.
“This is it. I left most everything behind, so it’s a little bare.” That was putting it mildly. She didn’t even have a couch. There were a few chairs, some boxes and a small table in the main room. The kitchen was spotless and stainless steel. Gross. I hated the modern look. So cold.
“It’s a place to crash.” She said it like an apology as she walked back to the bedroom. The place was smaller than mine. The rooms were so small that it would almost have been better as a studio.
“I’ll just be a second!” she called from the bedroom as she shut the door. “Make yourself comfortable. If you can.”
Okay then. I sat down on one of the chairs and looked around. There were stacks of boxes and I did a little snooping. A lot of them had books, others had clothes and other miscellaneous items. I found a few framed pictures of Molly and her brother. I had always liked him. I wondered if he’d come visit her here. I’d love to see him and I was sure she missed him too.
