Chapter 8: Only Memories Remain
When I wake up on Sunday morning, she’s already out of bed. She’s in and out of the room, and I’m in and out of consciousness for the first few minutes.
I’m fucking spent. It’s been a long time since I’ve fucked this much, and I’m also sore from the activity of running around Annapolis, and hung over from the seemingly endless amount of weed and drinks. She comes back in and joins me in bed. I begin to realize I’m starting this day on less than 4 hours of sleep.
It’s 8:37 a.m. “Just a Friend” by Biz Markie is playing in the background of the room.
She turns around and buried her head into my chest. She seems completely depressed. I’m shocked by this. She’s tiny, but she’s typically both mentally and physically tough. She’s never shown this outward, non-sexual emotion in the past. Even when we broke up.
“What’s wrong??”
“I don’t know. I’m just sad.”
“About what babe??”
“I just….”
“Do you want to talk about it??”
“I just need a few to gather my thoughts”
“Of course”
