Allie was watching TV when her phone went off. She checked the phone, and it was her nightly text from Dean. They texted at the same time every night; she met him twice a week for coffee and muffins. It was three times a week, but she had started gaining weight from the muffins. The relationship had turned into just that, an actual relationship. The first stable long-term one she had ever been in. They also decided they would wait to sleep with each other. Since they didn't see each other much outside of work, it wasn't so bad until they had their moments of intense kissing and touching, but they were pretty much always at Jakes' so they would keep it PG-13. They agreed it was fun to ramp up the anticipation. And when they finally broke the dam and let their emotions take over, it would all be worth it. However, it was getting hard to restrain themselves. Tomorrow was finally the weekend when she was going over to his house.
D: Hey baby, how's your night going?
A: It's boring. I'm watching Netflix.
D: What are you wearing? 👙
A: Nothing
She's lying! She's in flannel pajamas.
D: Really? You know I'm still at the office. I can be there in ten minutes. ⏳
A: How? You are 20 minutes away from my place.
D: I've got a fast car. 🏁🚀
Say no, Caretaker.
"Why should I say no? I haven't seen him in what feels like forever!"
Two reasons. One you know you won't be able to control yourself and two I want to finish this documentary.
A: Okay, truthfully, I am in flannel pajamas, eating ice cream, and watching a documentary on the sinking of the Titanic. Not very glamorous. 🧦
D: Ally, you could be a burlap sack, eating ribs and watching Hostel, and I would still go 60 to get there.
DAMN. I'm calling this right now; this man loves you.
A: I know what our next date can be...
D: I was thinking of dinner out. A couple of nice bottles of wine. Maybe a backrub. 🍷
A: OH! You know what I want to do?
D: Anything you want, beautiful.
A: Karaoke! 💟🎤
D: Anything but that.
A: Awe, come on! 😞
D: I don't sing. Not even in the shower.
A: I would love to see what you do in the shower. 😏
Personally, I would love to see what you do in the shower.
If you remember correctly, you already have Malibu.
A hose in a tent in the middle of the desert is not a shower, Caretaker. Ya know what? Let me know when you're done. I don't want to witness you talking dirty to your boyfriend.
D: That can be arranged. Ya, now I'm only 10 minutes away.
A: You mentioned that. Are you excited about tomorrow?
D: You have no idea how excited I am.🥴
A: What time do you want me there?
D: I was thinking sunrise, but that might be a touch too early. Lol
A: I wouldn't mind watching the sunrise with you sometime. 🌞
D: Maybe from my bedroom window. ❤️
A: I would love to. And more than one. Maybe like a lifetime's worth. 💙
D: Every morning before or after we make love. Either way, I think that is a great idea.
A: I think that sounds amazing. I'll be there around 5. Is that OK?
D: That sounds all right. I can survive another 21 hours.
A: I'll be there on time. Can I bring anything?
D: Just your beautiful self. 💐
A: OK, I'll leave my ugly self at home.
D: Yeah, I don't like her much. We've met.
A: Smartass.😂
😜
D: I can't wait to have you in my home, In my arms. Maybe in my mouth. 😜
A: You are too cute.
D: I'm nothing compared to you 👑.
A: Hey, quick question.
D: What would that be?
A: What are you wearing? 😂
D: Armani with a Brooks Brothers tie.👔
A: Fine. Don't tell me. Till tomorrow cowboy 🏇
D: Good night, Allie 💘
A: Good night, Dean 💋
She put her phone on her chest, holding it up to her heart.
You know, Caretaker, I never knew you had such a beautiful smile. It's been nice seeing it these past few weeks.
"It's nice to have someone to make me smile."
I never thought I'd live to see the day.
"Well, technically, you didn't."
Touché.
He was on his couch in the basement, lying back and smiling.
D: Hey, Babe. One more thing.
A: What would that be?
D:
A: OH MY GOD! I have to send this to Makayla!
D:Babe, Makayla is gay.
A: Not After she looks at this picture!
D: You really want to show off my body to your friends.
A: It's only Makayla. I have no other friends. I know Bruss doesn't want to see it. And I am going to be the one who gets to lick it, suck on it, rub it, stroke it, milk it.
D: Well, since you put it that way. Sure. What will it hurt? Send it to Makayla.
A: You should warn a girl next time. You made me drop my pizza rolls all over the floor.
D: I'm sorry, babe. I will never send another one.
A: Are you out of your fucking mind! Please please feel free to send more. The fuller my spank bank, the better.
D: LOL 😃😁😄😂🤣I still can't get used to the way I tend to talk.
A: LOL, and exactly why is that?
D: 👋🏧 I am just not used to a woman talking like that.
A: What are the emojis? I hope you don't mind, but my vocabulary will never change.
D: As long as you are the same beautiful, smart (ass), kind, resourceful, badass woman I met that night at Ava's. The one that hung around a few months ago... she can go pound salt.
A:🧂🥊🧂really?
D: Yes. I know my Allie.
A: 🤠🥊🍆🍑
He blushed so hard he thought that his face was going to burst into flames, and he had action in his basketball shorts.
D: Yeah, that's my Allie.
A: Your Allie can't wait to see you.
D: Till tomorrow, then.
A: Till tomorrow 😘
D: 🧑🏻❤️💋👩🏻🍆😉🍑😁💖
He was giddy. He looked like a teenage boy. He had everything planned. They were going to cook dinner together, have some wine, and maybe watch a movie, he thought to himself.
"Oh God, that sounds terrible. I should have come up with something better. I want to wow her and not bore her," he said out loud.
"Just let things happen."
He jumped so hard he almost launched himself off the couch onto the coffee table.
"HOLY SHIT! Natalie, will you please stop doing that to me!"
"Your heart is healthy; you'll be fine.
She ran and jumped over the back of the couch.
"You almost landed on me!"
"But did you die? So, tomorrow, huh?"
"Yeah, I would hope it goes without saying, but you will need to vacate the residence.," he said.
"Don't worry, I'm going out with Makayla, but you kids better behave! And remember, you can't get pregnant from oral sex."
"Bug? Really?"
"I'm just saying you don't see lesbians knocking each other up. It's a proven fact," she said.
"Sometimes I wish I was an only child."
She pouted, "Do you really?
"Never!" he got up and threw her over his shoulder.
He spun her around as fast as he could in a circle over and over.
"BEAN! I'M GONNA PUKE!" she shouted.
He flipped her off his shoulder ass overhead and put her feet on the floor. She stumbled like a drunken sailor.
"Sometimes I wish we had a worse relationship," she said.
"Really?" he pouted.
"No! Then I wouldn't have had my jungle gym!" she said. "Tomorrow will be fine, Bean! She's totally into you! She'll love whatever you do because she's with you, and you have a fully stocked bar."
"True. I do make a bitchin' long island."
She started up the steps. "Oh," she peaked around the corner. Makayla told me that the first day you met, she would "hit that." So, I wouldn't worry too much about how the evening was going to go. Okay, bye," she ran up the steps.
Oh wow! The first time we met? Like at the crime scene? It had to be. She hit that on the first night they met. I knew she was into me from the jump. Oh God, I just told Allie she could send the half-naked picture of me. This woman drives me to do evil, bad things.
D:
A: WHAT DID I JUST SAY? WARN A GIRL! I JUST MADE MORE PIZZA ROLLS.
D: You can share that with Makayla.
A: Really? Why? Are you thinking threesome? I wouldn't .....
D: I wouldn't what?
A: Goodnight, Cowboy.
D: Awe. Come on!
A: Turning off my phone now.
D: You can't turn off your phone. You know that Detective.
A: Goodnight, Dean.
D: Sleep well, Baby. I love you.
D: I am sorry. It was just a reflex. I'm used to saying goodnight to Natalie.
A: It's OK. I didn't mind.
D: Really?
D: Hello?
D: Fine. Be that way.
