Day 6: in which he proves to be distracting.

She wakes up sometime the next day. She is still fully clothed and  on her own couch. She is positioned on her side with a towel spread under her  face.  The first thing she sees is a bottle of water, saltine crackers and two ibuprofens on her coffee table. Her head is pounding. She downs  meds, crackers  and water. Then she notices the note:

‘Dear Miss Mel, 

I must confess that I did a most abhorrent and wicked thing. I went searching in your purse for your id so I could tell the driver where to go. I carried you in and set you up on the couch. You were pretty messed up. You might want to rethink your choices, you are lucky I’m a good guy.  Let me know that you survived the night or I might have to show up and bother you. 

-”James Dean Mother Fucker” aka Austin

What she could only assume was his number was scrawled under his name. 

Her first reaction was fury. The nerve of that guy, to lecture her about choices! 

‘Fuck no I’m not gonna text that asshole!” 

Her wrath is shortlived. It turns out that being angry actually makes her headache worse.

She gets into the shower, the hot water coursing over her helps. The more she thinks about it, the more she realizes he’s right. Any number of terrible things could have happened to her. 

“FUCK!” she says out loud.  

Ok, so maybe he deserves a text. 

The brightly lit screen of her phone sears her eyes as she sits wrapped in a towel on her toilet.  It takes her far too long to be able to input his number then text a simple  “I’m ok,” she is about to press send, then types in ‘thanks’.

He immediately responds with a thumbs up. 

True to his word, though she hardly remembered exactly what had happened, he didn’t bother her after that. 

She nearly forgot about him, until she walked into her regular yoga class a couple days later to find HIM talking to the instructor. 

He freezes for a second, then a wide grin spreads on his face. He tilts his chin in greeting. She gives him a curt nod and goes to the other side of the studio.

She tries so hard to ignore him throughout class, but her traitorous eyes keep slipping back to him in the mirror. The graceful way he moved through the vinyasa. His steely focus as he balances in natarajasana. The flex of his triceps as he hovered in chaturanga. The lines of his quads as he bends into virabhadrasana. Fuck. 

She quickly rolls up her mat at the end of class. He is still lying in savasana breathing deep. 

“Listen,” she walks up to his side, “thanks for getting me home safe the other night. Just so you know, I don't normally get that wasted.”

“Yeah you kept telling me that,” he doesn’t even open his eyes. ”Also how you’d been cheated on and wouldn’t fuck me no matter how hard I begged you, then you barfed on my boots. I had to throw them away. I really liked those boots.” 

“Fuck, I’m sorry,” her face turns beet red, “Can I replace them?” 

“Nope,” he cracks one eye open, “they were vintage.”
