I went back home early as I planned. I wanted to try my new dessert, apple cinnamon custard cake, and share it with Isaac later. I stopped by at supermarket to buy the ingredients that I will be needed.
Cooking is one of my relaxing methods. It took me a while to finish my dessert. I let it cool down and decided to ask Isaac if he is already in his place.
Me: Hey, did you come back to your place?
I got an instant reply.
Isaac: Yup, I went back earlier today. Y?
I didn’t hit a reply instead I went to my bathroom and took a shower before sharing the dessert with Isaac. I am sweaty doing all this cooking, I smell cinnamon and the starch is all over me.
After a few minutes, I was already at the front door of Isaac holding the dessert. I rang the bell and waited for Isaac to open the door.
“Coming, who is it? I heard Isaac’s voice and his steps coming near.
The doors opened and I couldn't believe what my eyes saw. He is topless like he just finished his shower. He has a towel on his right shoulder, his hair is still wet and some water still dripping from his body. Holy Mary, he has a well-built hot body. I couldn't help myself and check him out. His 6 packs of abs are shouting for my attention. It’s like my favorite meat laying on the table and saying come and eat me. What the hell am I thinking right now? I shook my head and averted my eyes to his body and looked him in the face.
“Hi, this is for you. I cooked it and decided to share it with you”. I offered the dessert to him without looking into his eyes.
“Thank you, sorry for my looks I just finished my shower when I heard my bell ring. Do you want to come inside? Let me get dressed first”.
“Ah, I will pass maybe next time”. he will be going to say something when my phone ring. I checked and it showed my best friend’s name “Ryle” It will be our face time.
“I have to go, I need to take this call, enjoy it and see you around Isaac”. and I turned around and accept the face time with Ryle.

"Hi, munchkin I miss you“. Ryle greeted.
"Hey, I miss you too, where are you now?
“I’m home and packing, what’s taken you long to answer my call?
“Why are you packing? Are you going somewhere? I was outside earlier and talking to my neighbor that’s why I didn’t answer your call immediately”.
“Oh, I see. Well, I’m on vacation and planning to visit you there. I will be staying with you for two weeks”.
“Really? Why you didn’t tell me earlier? I didn’t file for my leave. I have work."
“Well I wanted to surprise you and by the way, I’m flying tomorrow but don’t bother to come to the airport I will find you at your work around the afternoon”.
“Tomorrow? Ah, I’m so excited. I will try to file for one week's vacation so we could catch up while you're here."
“It’s okay if you can’t, I will be staying at your place so we have plenty of time”.
“No, I want to visit some places here with you like before, it will take you long again to visit me. I will inform Tamara as well."
“Fine, fine, do what you wanted to do, I can't stop you anyway. I know I can't win with you, munchkin.
“I’m glad you still know it." ha.ha.ha.
“Yeah, I still do, see you tomorrow, munchkin. Rest up early, I know you had a long day. Night munchkin. Love you.
“See you tomorrow, I can’t wait to see you again. Have a safe journey. Good night. Love you”.

After my face time with Ryle, I didn’t feel tired at all. I’m so happy that we will be seeing each other again tomorrow. He is my childhood best friend along with Tamara. My family and his family are really good friends. He and his family move to another country when we were in high school. But we still get in touch with one another. No secrets at all and from time to time he visits me here in Ohio. The only difference now is we are in different places. He is like a brother to me that I don’t have and me like a little sister to him that he doesn’t have. That's why our relationship is intact until now.
I decided to face time Tamara to tell her the good news. After a few rings, she answered.
“T, I have good news for you, guess it”.
“What, you already have a boyfriend? Tamara teases.
“No, and still waiting. ha.ha.ha.
“So what is it? Tell me."
“I told you to guess it”
“B, you know me I don’t have that much patience. Come on tell me now."
“Fine, Ryle will be going to be in town tomorrow. Isn't good news? Yeah, I’m so excited."
“Really? Why he didn’t inform me, is he gonna stay at your place? For how long?
“Yes, he was supposed to surprise us but at the last minute, he told me. He’s staying for two weeks and I’m planning to have a vacation for one week. Can you take a vacation as well?
“OMG, ok I will try to file tomorrow. Let’s go somewhere like we always do."
“Yeah, that’s what I told Ryle. I want to enjoy his vacation with us. We don’t know when he will visit us again."
“True, so can I stay at your place as well?
“Sure, but you don’t want to stay at your boyfriend’s place?
“For now it's a no, I want to catch up with both of you. I will tell him in advance so he will not expect me to stay in his place."
“Okay, call me tomorrow, Goodnight T. Love you”.
“Goodnight B. Love you”.
I head to my bedroom and do my daily night routine to call it a day. But before I fall asleep I received a message from Isaac.
Isaac: Thanks for the dessert. It’s delicious.
Me: Your welcome glad you like it, Good Night Isaac.
Isaac: Goodnight Bettany.
I can't wait for tomorrow. I'm looking forward to seeing Ryle again and enjoying ourselves like we used to. After I read Isaac's reply I fall asleep in no time.
