As we were counting down the days to our trip to Costa Rica, there was a circled date on the calendar. I went over to it and looked before I finished brushing my teeth. It was then I saw whose birthday was marked. As I started to remember why it was circled, I then remember how it was one of the rare times a year when Missy would have a girl's night out with Aubrey. As I alluded to in previous writings, Missy and Aubrey were college roommates before I started dating Missy. They would go out on occasion, but usually with me as a designated driver except for Aubrey's birthday. I never knew why, but I was curious what Aubrey was planning this year.
I called my neighbor to check on her before I walked over. I went straight through the door and saw her beautiful smile and little else. She ran up to me stark naked and kissed me on the lips before grabbing my hips to pull me closer to her. I kept kissing. I started to hold her closer until she reached for my belt.
"I hope you didn't make plans for tonight," she said.
"Why is that?" I asked as my lips started kissing her neck.
"I invited Aubrey over for dinner and I need you to be here."
I stopped for a moment.
"You did?"
"Well, yeah. She broke up with her boyfriend last week and I didn't want her to be alone on her birthday."
I started to kiss her neck again before I remembered.
"Her boyfriend she argued with around Thanksgiving?"
"Same one."
I pulled her over to the couch and pulled her down with me, so she was on my lap and holding her. She started kissing me a bit more enthusiastically before she stopped again.
"Can you bring home flowers?"
"Yes."
