I get home with about ten minutes to spare before my curfew. As soon as I walk in the door I smell liquor.

“It’s about damn time”, my mother says.

She’s been drinking and from the looks of it she’s been drinking for a while. Did I forget to mention that my mom is a alcoholic, who will never admit it? Maybe that’s where I get my drinking habits from. But trust me I’m not as bad as her. She drank for eight days straight one time.

“There was traffic when we were leaving”, I say.

“Whatever, take your ass to bed”, my mother says.

I roll my eyes and walk into my room. I plop down on my bed and pull out my cell to text Ashley.

“Hey, I just got home”, I say.

“Okay, good. Did you have fun”, she asks.

“Yeah, but I miss you.”

“Aww, I miss you too.”

Yeah, I know I’m cheesy, but hey what can I say? I love my girl and I miss her.

“Okay, so what’s up”, I ask.

“Nothing, I’m about to go to bed.”

“Me too, I’m tired as hell.”

“Lol, so….”

“So, I’m going to go take a shower then go to sleep and talk to you tomorrow”, I ask more than say.

“Okay, goodnight and I love you.”

“Goodnight. Love you too babe.”

I put my phone on it’s charger and go to take a shower. After I got out I go back to my room and get in my night clothes. My muscles hurt and I have a huge bruise forming on my arm. I look at it and shake my head and smile as I remember how Ashley kissed it after it happened.

We’ve been skating for a while now. I’ve been doing better, so I decide to try to show off and try to skate backwards. That was not so smart. I slip and look like a cartoon in the air before I land on m y arm. What makes it worse is that one of my friends fell over me and kicked me in the arm with the blade.

“Ow. Shit”, I say grabbing my arm.

“Sorry Spencer”, my friend Andrew says.

“It’s cool”, I say lying.

Ashley skates over to me and gets down on her knees next to me where I’m examining my arm.

“You alright baby”, she asks.

Oohh here’s my chance to get a little TLC. I put on my best baby pout.

“No”, I say sounding like a wounded puppy.

“Aww, baby where does it hurt?”

“Right here”, I say pointing to my hurt arm. She leans down and kisses it.

“And here”, I say pointing to my hand. She places a light kiss on my hand.

“A little right here”, I say pointing to my neck. She kisses my pulse point.

“And a lot right here”, I say pointing to my lips. She smile and leans in giving my a very passionate kiss before helping me up.

I smile at the memory. I fall asleep with a smile on my face to dream of the woman that I love.
