I rushed home from work on one of my longest Fridays of the year for a date with Chloe. She had been sending me flirtatious messages all day from the pool and the last few hours of my day-shift job had felt like torture. We were in the middle of a heat wave and I still fevered for her touch.
I showered and changed and still managed to get to her apartment in record time.
“Hi baby!” she yelled through her broad animalistic smile as she threw her arms around me at the door. “Come on in, I’m just finishing getting ready.”
