[i]Getting out of bed around 11:30 a.m.
Bosc Pear. OJ.
All day shift at China Wok.
The rain is relentless today. I can’t remember the last time
we got a good waterfall in Virginia Beach. It’s fresh and purifies my dried up
insides and outsides – the drought is over.
Snapping the peas at work.
Egg. Peanut Butter Sandwich. Potato Chip Trio. Honey Oolong
Tea.
With the rain comes the rise in people’s appetite for
Chinese food. The orders get called in right and left.
...
I’m thoroughly preoccupied. Even still, Margot visits and
rides around with me on a run.
Chocolate Crème Cookies.
Later, I’m conversing with Stephanie via text. She’s going
through a distressing family-related situation that’s caused her to be away
from her house the past few days. I pick her up from Marko’s house. While I
hectically delivery orders, we talk about our worries. Her and I haven’t really
hung out in a while, not to mention nor have The Vaginasaurs. She smokes a
cigarette with the window cracked.
...
I just finished delivering an order on the 400 block of 24th
street and my car starts to putter. I feel a sense of doom and regret because I
knew the fuel tank was low earlier and now I’m stranded without gas.
Me: “Fuck! I can’t believe this! I’m usually really good
about this.”
I try calling a few people I know are in the area – no luck.
My only choice is to run in the rain to the closest gas station. I leave
Stephanie to stay with the car. The wind is fierce and the water stings my
eyes. After about five blocks I reach the Shell station but they have no gas
container to borrow. Nicole phones me back and heeds the call. Her and Dan roll
up and save the day.
Me: “Thanks so much. You’re a life saver. I owe you Chinese
food.”
The night continues. 10, 20, 30 minutes go by. Then an hour
and I’m free. It’s been a profitable day.
With dinner in hand I meet up with Margot at her place.
Spring Rolls. Vegetable Lo Mein. Sparkling Raspberry
Lemonade.
She was already in the middle of watching Free Willy
(1993) so we continue watching the classic family film while we snuggle and act
sweet on the couch.
...
Me: “Mm. I adore you.”
Her: “You’re being silly.”
Me: “You mistake my silliness for genuine adoration.”
...
Willy the orca whale makes the awesome jump over the rocks
and the credits roll...
Me: “Well. Now that that willy is free...time to free
another willy,” a comical sexual invitation.
She giggles in response.
[haha]
...
Making love in the bedroom. Kissing. The kissing. I live for
the kissing. The scented candle is lit painting the shadow of her curvy body on
the wall as she straddles me. I love this love that I’m in love with. She turns
over and I take the reigns while she responds with feel-good moans.
...
Good night, baby.
Back home. Settling down.
3 a.m. sleep.
