“I don’t even know you!” replied my wife Beth, mockingly aghast that I wanted to take a quick nap.
I had a regularly weekly outing on Wednesday nights which always went for several hours, but was feeling sleepy and wanted to be alert for the evening. But she was correct, I almost never napped, which is why I took my computer into the bedroom with me…in case I needed a little “help” falling asleep.
Secretly, I was hoping maybe she’d pick up on that and offer to lend a hand. She’s been having some health issues lately and hasn’t been very frisky, so I’m often on my own.
I got in bed, and opened up the computer to read through a few NSFW stories, using my knee to prop up the comforter to block the view of what I was doing (in case she did happen to come in). After I had what I needed, I finished the job and quickly fell asleep.
I woke suddenly, surprised that the alarm was going off, and not quite remembering why I was in bed at 7pm. The room was dark and quiet.
