“That was exactly what I needed Bette. This whole night has been wonderful.”

“That’s an understatement. God, you’re amazing.”

She leans over and kisses me softly. I can feel the events of the day catching up to me, and my eyes are getting heavier. Before I drift off to sleep, I remember something important.

“Bette?”

“Hmm?” she mumbles half asleep.

“I love you.”

“Love you too. Goodnight.” She rolls closer and wraps her arms around me, snuggling as close as she can. After one last kiss on the cheek, I can feel her slipping off to sleep. I fall asleep soon after.

I wake up when I sense movement in the bed. Seeing my eyes open, Bette says “Just went to the bathroom. Didn’t mean to wake you. I’m sorry.”

“It’s ok. What time is it?” I respond groggily.

“Almost 7:30. It’s Saturday though so let’s just sleep in.”

“Actually, I need to go to my house and grab some stuff out of my office. Things just got too intense yesterday so all I managed to grab were some clothes. If I go this early, Arise won’t be awake, and I’ll be able to just sneak in.”

“Ok. Well…good luck. Be quick and quiet. That seems like practical advice for something like a home invasion, doesn’t it?” She says with a smile.

I smile in response and head to the bathroom to shower and get ready to head home. Home? Is there even such a place for me anymore? Just feels like I’m heading to a place I used to know.

When I pull up to the house, I see Arise’s car, and what I assume to be Sara’s car. It’s the same one from the other night. Something tells me to just come back another time, but I figure if she stayed the night then they’d be sleeping in this morning. Drama avoided.

Of course that would just be too easy.

I walk in the house to find the Sara on top of Arise on the sofa. Sans clothing. I sigh loudly which brings them out of their sex induced haze.
