Play Night pt. 1 (of 6): Friday Night (Fun Night)
"Hey sexy," you hear as you finally get the lock to click and open the door, all while juggling your bag, keys and the drink that you got on the way home.
You drop the purse you are carrying that somehow seems to have gathered up all the weight from your work day inside it's cavernous depths by the coffee table along with your fist of jingling keys as he pauses the game he was playing and stands up to give you a proper greeting. It almost feels like he lifts you up a little bit when he wraps his arms around the middle of your still coat covered body and presses his face into your shoulder. His clean smell and the soft heat radiating off of his shirt contrasts with the chilly wet odor of the minefield outside of bad drivers and occasional sirens that you had to trudge through to get home. "How'd it go today," he mummers into your neck as his arms move up and down like he's trying to rub you back to life.
It was shit. Or, more precisely, it was the same as usual. Dealing with shitty people, dealing with shitty coworkers, dealing with shitty shit. It felt like you were constantly checking the clock on the wall and reminding yourself that all you have to do is get through the next few hours, and then the next few hours, and then the last hour, before the week ended. The sigh turned groan you respond with is enough to communicate all of that to him as you pull your arms around his neck tighter.
He gives you one more tight squeeze before pulling away a little and looking down at your face. "That sucks, baby." He plants a sympathetic smooch on your mouth and frees you to strip off the suite of armor you donned against the autumn chill and put it on the hook next to the front door. "Were you able to swing by and drop that stuff off at your moms like you told her?"
Fuck Fuck FUCK. It was still sitting in the passenger seat were you put it specifically so you wouldn't forget about it. But you just
had
to stop and get that drink on the way home and it completely flew out of your mind, per usual. You slump as you apologize in a defeated tone, the prospect of having to go back out into the grinder again clutches at your shoulders.
"Hey, it's okay." He shrugs as he walks over and turns you to face him, putting his hands on your arms and giving them a light rub, "I can swing by and drop it off tomorrow when I go out. I'll just have to leave a little earlier." He kisses you, "Don't worry about it, cute ass," he says as he gives your butt a grab. "Besides, we have other stuff goin' on tonight." The grin that spreads across his face gives your tummy a little tingle.
