occasionally have good fashion tips.”
“So what else do you do for fun?”
“ Not much, watch TV and hang out with friends mostly. I spend a lot of time working.” I explained.
“ Sounds pretty comfortable.”
“ I never thought of it that way, I guess that it is.” I smiled about my simple life. “We go out sometimes, but only once every couple of weeks. Mostly we hang out here though.”
“ That sounds lovely.”
“ I have to go check my emails.” I walked out of the room and he followed me. I checked on my business interests and realized that he walked over and looked over my shoulder.
When the food arrived a few minutes later we enjoyed our meal. I put the leftovers in the fridge. It was very ordinary night. We made love in my bed and fell asleep in each other’s arms. In the morning I let him sleep in and started working. I was hoping to get a lot done before he got up.
He woke up at nine in the morning. Propping himself up on his elbow he looked at me sitting at my desk, “What are you doing?”
“ Trying to get some work done so I have more free time tonight.” I explained.
He climbed out of bed and started to pull on his pants. “How long do you need?”
“Hopefully, I’ll be done in about four hours.”
“ Then I will return in five hours. I’d like to go to Coney Island, will you join me?’
“ I love Coney Island!” I exclaimed.
“ Wonderful. See you soon.” He kissed me on the cheek as he buttoned up his shirt. “I don’t want to leave, but you need to get some work done.”
“ If I could afford to, I wouldn’t do it.” I explained.
“ I understand.” He was so patient. “I’ll see myself out. Get as much done as you can so I can monopolize all of your time.”
I laughed. He walked out of my apartment and I was struck by the emptiness of the space. I brought my laptop to the bed and tried to work surrounded by his smell. It was the most work I had gotten done all week. I was able to concentrate and I got ahead on several of my projects.

“Flattery will get you nowhere.”

I dressed a little better for the trip to Coney Island. I packed a large purse with a swimsuit and sunscreen and was waiting for him when he arrived. We climbed into the cab together and made out on the way to the biggest tourist attraction in New York City.
We held hands as he took in the sights for the first time. He was in awe of the boardwalk. We played games at the arcades and ate those wonderfully fattening junk foods from the carts. It was a wonderful day. It was so romantic to sit on the beach and watch all of the people.
We changed into swim suits and enjoyed the ocean. Splashing him I obviously put revenge into his mind. He reached for me and dunked me under the water. I wasn’t going down easily and I resisted him. “I’ll take you down with me.” I shouted victoriously.
“Never!” He fought to get me under the water.
We tangled and wrestled in the shallow water. After an hour of play we changed back and went back on the boardwalk.
I rushed to the rides and got tickets for the roller coaster. We screamed together on the drops and held hands when we were climbing the hills. All in all it was amazing day.
It was getting dark when I saw him check a phone. I didn’t even realize that he had a cell phone. He never pulled it out around me. I guess that nobody ever really called him or maybe he keeps it on silent when around me. ”Damn,” he said.
“What?”
“ My flight leaves in two days. It was a reservation reminder.” He didn’t look happy about it, and it struck me like a bag of rocks upside the head.
“ Damn is right.” I wasn’t ready for him to leave yet. I started to miss him a little already.
“ I know, but put it out of your mind. We’ll enjoy our last days together.”
When I got home that night, our love-making was tempered by sadness. It was slow and we held each other. We made out and savored every moment that our
