Hearts and Flowers

What’s romantic? Hearts and flowers? I have a heart and I think cut flowers are a crime, a waste of money, an expensive throwaway.

What’s touching? It’s a hand reaching out to pinch a nipple, a fingernail running down the length of a chest, tracing the pouch of a round belly.

Call me jaded. Call me jealous. I never had a lover who brought me hearts or candy or flowers.

I never had a lover for a year before either. But in five days it’s our anniversary. A year.

I’m terrible at dropping hints. Gina says not to even bother anyway, just spit it out.

So I do. Our anniversary is on Friday, I say. I want to celebrate.

Gina looks up from where she was settled in on my ugly brown corduroy couch, her book flopped on her lap, her dark smoky eyes staring right at me like a banked fire on a snowy night. Her skin is pale and silky to the touch. She puts lotion on every day. She even held me down a few times and put it on me.

Of course, then I had to wrestle her down, finally flipping her over, shrieking with laughter, tie her up, and rub myself all over her, which led to other rubbing, and then, a nap, a glorious nap, curled up in her arms. After I’d untied her, of course. That’s always the best part. Like unwrapping a present.

Okay, Jen. What do you want to do?

I dunno. I never had an anniversary before. At least not this kind.

Do you want to do dinner? Do you want to go to the Club? They’re having a ladies night.

I consider. Maybe dinner, but not the Club. We didn’t meet at the Club, although we’d gone a bunch of times since she’d discovered it. We met, of all places, in the library. I was looking for CDs, she was looking for thrillers. She told me later, I was more thrilling than anything she’d read all year.

No, I didn’t want the spectacle and everybody’s eyes in the club on us while we celebrated what had been the best year of my life.

Okay, so I know; you really don’t know what you’re missing until she chases after you out the library doors
