“Night.” Then it dawned on me what she said in the garden. Great, another point in the shit pile. I cursed myself.
    Curtis dropped some more stuff into the cart, “Was that Haley?”
    “Yeah.”
    “Are y’all friends now?”
    “I think so.”
    “Cool.”
    “Ready to go?” I asked, pushing the cart down the aisle to the checkout counter. Stopping to get a few more things Curtis forgot, I managed to see Haley walk out of the store with David hot on her heels carrying her grocery bag.
     

     
    “MAN, I HATE doing laundry, I wish clothes came disposable. Wear it and throw it out,” Curtis complained while he folded his socks.
    “It’s not that bad.”
    “Dude, all your clothes fit in one load, and you were done like an hour ago. I’ve still got like four loads left.”
    “Shut up and fold,” I heckled, throwing a t-shirt at him.
    “Let’s go grab some wings and beers at Pete’s. I’m sure I can convince Loran to come over tomorrow and help me finish my laundry.”
    “Nah, man, I’m good. I was just thinking of putting a frozen pizza in the oven.”
    “Fine.” Curtis mumbled having a bitch of a time folding his bed sheets, which eventually he just rolled them into a ball. “Whatever, so what’s your plan for tomorrow?”
    “I’m going to head over to the ranch tomorrow and give Haley a hand.”
    “I thought it’s supposed to rain all day tomorrow.”
    “It is, but she has a few errands, and I’m going to tag along.”
    Curtis put down the jeans he was folding and looked at me, “Bentley, what are you doing?”
    “What?”
    “Dude someone like Haley, you don’t play games with. I know we were assholes in high school, but I thought we out grew that.”
    “I’m not being an asshole. I seriously just want to be her friend.”
    “Nothing more?” he questioned.
    “Nothing,” I replied, putting my hands up in surrender.
    “Well, if you ask me…”
    I interrupted him, “I’m not.”
    “If you ask me, you need to figure out your farm thing before you go chasing after Haley. If end up hurting her again , there won’t be a friendship left to have.”
     
     

     
     
    I WAS STILL snuggled up on the couch with a fresh cup of coffee, listening to the drizzling rain and finishing one of my favorite books, when I heard a knock on the front door. Putting my cup down, I got up and moved to the door, wondering who would be here. I opened the door and was surprised to see Bentley.
    “Bentley, what are you doing here?”
    He lifted a bag from Maggie’s, “Brought you some breakfast. May I come in? I’m getting a bit wet standing out here.”
    I quickly pushed the door fully open as Bentley grabbed the screen door, “I’m sorry. Please, come in.”
    “Nice pajamas.”
    “I like them,” I mumbled as I looked down at my black tank top and my monkey pants. “Can I get you a cup of coffee?” I offered, walking into the kitchen.
    “Please.”
    “How do you take it?” I asked, opening the cup cupboard.
    “Just a bit of sugar.”
    I poured the coffee and was just about put in the sugar when I heard Bentley start reading out loud, “ And we were both completely and utterly…naked. My girl part was pressing against his thigh and my traitorous body wanted to rub itself against him. Oh my God…I’m a megahoe .”
    I dropped the spoon and went running into the living room to grab my book from his hands, “Bentley, give me that book!”
    He held it above his head and kept reading, “ I lowered my head until our faces were inches apart, breathing the same breath and I drank him in. My eyes lowered to his lips and I didn’t hesitate reintroducing them to mine. I kissed him, a soft closed mouth kiss, but deep nonetheless. ”
    I jumped against his body, “Bentley, I mean it, give me back my book!”
    Laughing, he bent towards my face, speaking softly, “ Breathing the same breath…”
    I stared at his lips, watching them twitch as he said each word.
    “Your book…”
    “Huh?” I asked,
