held up two fingers and kept walking. Gus saw his condition.
The bathroom was busy but after a few minutes, Ben finally got to a sink. He washed his arms and face. Blood was rinsing off into the sink. A guy waiting looked over.
“Are you bleeding?” he asked with a concerned look on his face.
“It’s not my blood,” Ben replied. He grabbed some paper towels and dried off. He felt a little better. When he walked out, Andrea wasn’t done yet. The two bar stools directly in front of where Gus liked to stand were empty. Gus motioned for Ben to sit down. He set the two beers down on the bar, one in front of each stool.
Andrea walked in bar and sat next to Ben. She was getting some attention and cat calls from some customers.
Gus smiled for Andrea.
“You sure do look different than you did this morning,” he said, turning to Ben. “And you, my boy, look like you have had a rough day.”
“It was killer!” Ben said, laughing at his own joke. Andrea punched him in the arm.
“That wasn’t funny,” she scolded.
“It was too,” Ben replied.
Ben asked Andrea to tell Gus about their evening. She brushed over the highlights. Gus got the idea quickly. The cheeseburgers came out next. The cook placed Andrea’s in front of her with a big smile, sat Ben’s down and walked away.
“I think my 15 minutes of fame is over around here. I’ve been replaced by a pretty face with a nice rack,” Ben joked. He caught an elbow to the ribs for that one. Andrea knocked down the double cheese burger and fries and started eating Ben’s fries. He gave up and pushed them in front of her. She leaned in and kissed him on the cheek and went back to eating.
Gus offered Ben the apartment again, knowing his house was a mess. Ben thanked him and asked for two more beers. He grabbed Andrea by the hand, pulled her out the back door and up the stairs. He unlocked the door and turned on the light.
Gus had had someone straighten the place up since last night. Ben ran back downstairs to get the clothes he had brought along and found the apartment dark by the time he got back upstairs. “Andrea,” he called softly.
“In here,” she replied. He walked into the bedroom and she was lying in bed under the covers. Leather clothing was strewn across the floor. Ben didn’t turn the light on. He undressed in the dark, adding his clothes to the pile.
She must have known he was undressed because she scooted over and pulled the cover back.
Andrea had no idea how things had happened so fast. The conclusion of her thoughts were that she wanted this man. Not just for tonight, but forever.
Her naked body lay on top of Ben’s as they held each other and kissed. They were both exhausted and they hadn’t even had sex. She needed this intimacy and it was wonderful even without the sex. They were bonding on a spiritual level and falling in love. They wouldn’t get many moments like this in the future. She had to talk to him tomorrow. If there was any chance of being together in a military unit, acting like love birds would be out of the question.
She slid off and lay at his side, her arm and leg laying across him still. She knew he was asleep. His deep breathing told her so. She traced her hand over his chest and shoulders. She could feel old scars. She put her lips against his arm and kissed it, then drifted off to sleep.

The sun was peeking through the window. Ben was slowly waking up. He could feel soft skin touching his body but underneath it was solid, tight. He could hear soft breathing and feel it against his arm. He also knew part of his body was at full attention. He was torn between letting her sleep and finishing something she started had Friday night out on the road.
He felt her arm move and her finger nail moving over the contours of his chest. He looked at her and her eyes were locked on his face. He could feel his emotions, pulse and body tense as her finger nail worked its way down his abdomen.
