The ringing phone jarred Jim from his sleep. His eyes tried to focus on the time staring back at him from the small clock on the nightstand as he reached for the phone.
Fuck. It is almost 1 in the afternoon
. Jim held the receiver up to his right ear.
"Hey Jim, come on over to our room. The Bengals and Chargers are going to be on TV in a few minutes".
"You want to watch football?" Jim responded to his new friend. "After last night?"
"Yeah. It should be a good game."
Jim looked at his wife. Linda was still sound asleep.
"What about Jean? Is she awake yet?"
"She is still in the shower. She won't mind if you come over. Leave Linda a note and tell her where you are".
"Okay. Give me 10 minutes".
Jim crawled out of bed and went to the bathroom where he groggily took care of his morning chores. He came back out and slipped on a pair of tan shorts and a knit shirt. As he pulled on his socks and tennis shoes, Jim leaned over and whispered in his wife's ear. "I am going over to Bill and Jean's room. Come on over when you wake up."
Jim quietly left his wife sleeping and headed out the door.
"Good to see you Jim", Bill exclaimed as he opened his room door to let his friend in. "The game is about to start." Bill motioned for his friend to sit on the couch by the TV.
"Can I get you anything?"
Jim shook his head βno'. Bill walked over and sat on the couch next to Jim.
"Oops!" Jean was obviously startled as she walked out of the bathroom with only a towel around her body. Her hair was still wet from the shower.
"I didn't know we had company," she said, smiling at Jim. I just came to get my hair dryer. You guys go ahead and watch your stupid football game".
Jim smiled at his friend's wife. Jean could feel his eyes scanning her body. He noticed the towel did not quite cover her full bottom and got a great look as she grabbed her hairdryer and hurried back into the bathroom.
.
Jean closed the bathroom door, but for some reason the closing mechanism did not take. She did not notice the door creak open about three inches. The 54 year-old woman looked into the mirror and pushed the switch on the hair dryer to βhigh'. A loud frantic whir came from the bathroom as Jean began to blow-dry her hair.
Bill pointed to a mirror and one of the room's walls.
"Check it out bud".
Jim looked towards the bathroom noticed Jean's reflection in the bathroom mirror. The UPS clerk had dropped the towel to the floor and was blow-drying hair. Her naked form was reflected back into the other room for the guys to see.
Both men ignored the start of the football game to watch Jean through the mirror.
Jim and Bill both grinned as the watched Jean aim the hot air blower at her hair.
"This is where it gets interesting Jim," Bill said as he nudged his new friend.
"Damn!" muttered Jim as he saw Jean turn the blower towards her naked skin. "She is using the blow dryer to dry off! I guess she doesn't know that we can get extra towels!"
Both men laughed. Their laughter was completed drowned out by the whir of the dryer.
