I chuckled, remembering my own return flight. The relief of getting out was almost more tiring than the actual deployment. A new stage of my life had begun, but with that came uncertainty. The military gave me a rigid schedule with orders that had to be followed. Then I came home and was on my own. It was quite the adjustment.
“Any idea what you’re going to do now?”
“Yeah, I’m working for you.”
I chuckled. “Yeah? Did you ask my secretary about that?”
“She agreed you needed the help.”
I eyed him skeptically. “What’s her name?”
“That’s easy,” he pointed the bottle at me. “You don’t have a secretary.”
“Well, you got me there. Maybe you can be my secretary.”
“Hey, I’m not getting under the office desk for you.”
“Thank God,” I snorted. “You’d suck at giving blow jobs.”
“I’ve been told I have the perfect mouth for eating pussy.”
“Then stick to that,” I laughed.
He gave me a mock salute and finished off his beer. “So, what’s the deal with women in town? Are there any left you haven’t fucked?”
“Why? Are you worried they’ll be disappointed if they sleep with you after me?”
“No, I’m worried their experience was so bad with you, they’ve given up on all men.”
“There could be some truth in that,” I admitted. “Not that I’m not a delight in bed, but since Carolyn, I’m much more…”
“Protective?”
“Of myself? Most definitely. I think I scared a few off when I asked them about their birth control habits.”
He burst out laughing. “Are you serious?”
“Completely. This one girl…” I started laughing, covering my mouth with my fist at the memory. “Shit, I asked her if she was on birth control and if she took it at the same time every day. She turned beet red and smacked me with her purse. I had an imprint of a buckle on my face for two days.”
“Why didn’t you just wrap it up?”
“I did, but now I’m extra cautious.”
“Why can’t you just be like a normal guy and ask if she’s on it?”
“Because that doesn’t guarantee they’re using it right. The last fucking thing I need is for another woman to pull me into that shit.”
“You can’t swear off women forever.”
“Never said I was.”
He nodded, knowing I was a little more than fucked up after the situation with Carolyn. “Well, here’s to having a male roommate.”
“Do you have to make everything so fucking dirty?” I asked.
“I could do a lot worse.”
Fuck, I knew it. But this was going to be good for me. Living alone the past two years, only thinking of what I was missing out on, was fucking with my head. Maybe now I could finally move on.
