God, he so reminded me of Slate when he acted like that.
I made some creamed chipped beef over toast, or as Taz preferred to call it “shit on the shingle.”
I considered it comfort food. Taz said it reminded him of his Army days. He did a nice job of wolfing down several helpings.
Darcy came bouncing in as we were finishing up and scarfed the rest down. I filled her in on what was going on with my mother.
“You’re leaving school?” she wailed, “for how long?”
“I’m not sure, Darcy. I guess I’ll know more after I talk with my mom. I’m going to the campus registrar to withdraw from my classes tomorrow. I have to leave afterwards for home.”
“That really blows,” she said, helping me clean up the kitchen. “We’ll keep your room for you here, don’t worry about that. I’ll still see you on the weekends.”
I knew with Darcy now dating Darin she would be home every weekend which offered me some consolation.
“You better make time for me when you’re home on the weekends,” I chided. “I’ve a feeling that it’s going to be all about Darin, though.”
“I don’t diss my BFF for any man,” she said, laughing. “Speaking of which, it’s time for my call to him. See you guys later.”
Taz was over on the couch, pounding away on his laptop for his class. I was feeling crampy and decided to use this time for a nice, warm shower.
I discovered that my period had made an early appearance. I guess everyone was going to get a good night’s rest tonight.
After my shower, I put on my comfortable PJs with the built-in feet. I liked to wear them in the winter, especially when I felt crampy, because they were so soft and snuggly. I dug through the medicine cabinet and popped a couple of Motrin.
I spritzed my hair with detangle and combed through it, blowing it dry. I brushed my teeth and flossed. I was totally ready for bed and I was certain it wasn’t even eight o’clock yet. I had been trying to kill as much time as possible to let Taz finish his online class.
I finally headed back out to the living room. He was still perched on the sofa, tapping away. He glanced up as I came into the living room and did a double-take.
What?
“I take it we’re not having sex tonight,” he commented, focusing on my PJs. “I even bought condoms while I was out today.”
“Gosh, Taz, as totally seductive as you just made all of that sound; your powers of perception have once again blown me away.”
He gave me a lopsided grin, raking his hand through his hair and rubbing the back of his neck. He shut the cover on his laptop pushing it aside.
“Come here, smartass,” he ordered, patting his lap.
I went over to him and he pulled me down onto his lap, burying his face into mine. His stubble felt like tiny needles pricking my skin.
“Ow,” I said, laughing and trying my best to pull away. “Your whiskers are killer.”
“Really?” he said in his sexy voice. “I bet your thighs and pussy might like the feel of them rubbing all around.”
“Oh, so you like riding the crimson tide, then?”
He tilted his head in confusion.
“The what?”
“I got my period this evening, Taz,” I said, laughing as I observed it finally sinking in to him.
“Oh, I’m sorry baby,” he said. “Do you feel bad?”
“I’m a little crampy. I popped a couple of Motrin. It’s all good, well except for the obvious. I’m disappointed, too.”
He shifted me around on his lap so that I was now facing him. His face was serious.
