It's movie night, and it's my turn to pick. It always feels like you get like three turns in a row, and here I go about to waste my movie choice. Some things are in service of the greater good.
I knock on your door with a bottle of wine, some edibles, and two bags of popcorn. The way we go through it, I probably should've brought a third bag. You're behind the door, already in pajamas. You don't have to walk home after, must be nice (joke). You take the wine and the popcorn, and I wrap my arm around your waist and kiss you, long and hard. You have that stupid grin on your face when I pull away, falling into me.
"I'll get the wine, you get the popcorn?"
"Yes," you say, drawing out the "y" sound and nodding. It's a silly little thing you do, and it's one of my favorites.
I go for the wine opener, and ask you if you want an edible. You don't have anything to do tomorrow morning, I argue, so we can have a lazy morning. I'll even try to make eggs, but I can't guarantee their quality.
The edibles are chocolates. They're 30mg each, but I don't think you got a good look at them.
"They're 10, how much do you want?" I ask, taking two pieces and putting the package back in my jacket pocket. You say you'll take two. God, this is going to be fun.
Two glasses of wine and a bag of popcorn see us settled in your room.
"Where's your pen? I just want more control over how long I'm high,"
You dig it out of the bedside cabinet, and hand it to me. I take a small hit, and wrap you in my arms. You're sitting between my legs, leaning back against my chest. I offer you the pen, and you take it without thinking. I hand you your glass of wine before taking my own, pretending to take a sip. You can't see my glass anyway.
It seems to take hours before the edibles kick in. You're way too coherent. I don't know how much longer I can help myself, but it won't be as satisfying. I satiate myself with subtle touches as I reach for the popcorn and intermittently offering the pen. It's about half way through the movie when your head lolls to the side, and you look sideways up at me. You have a serene kind of smile on your face.
"How're you doing there, honey?"
"I'm doing so good. I'm," You search for the words. "Not all here right now,"
"That's okay baby," I move your hair out of your face, "you don't have to be here," The popcorn bag is pretty much empty, perfect timing. I move it off of your lap, and my hand takes the vacant space. My other hand is playing with your hair. Your eyes are half closed; I'm not sure you notice when I bring my forearm across your chest and up to your throat.
