As the door closed she heard one say, my god, some guy shit their pants in here!' She giggled to herself as she made her way to the back door. Mark wa... already there and held the door for her as they left the building and walked the block to the ramp where he parked. They got in the car, and began the slow drive to Katie's house. Mark said he had an idea where it was but she'd need to give him directions as they got near. Katie suggested going up one of the side roads, which would be slow but. I spent the time while those miles zipped on in thought. The silent, me only kind, though I assumed Cooper would get at least a sense of it, the way things seemed to be working.I wondered how we seemed to let ourselves get caught up in so much minutia. Buying a cell phone at the drop of a hat, same with a laptop and now a home gym. Thinking about doing the same for a waffle iron. Boom, just like that getting hooked up for internet and cable TV. It seemed like I was hurrying, when I had nothing. I'd never been attracted to a guy in my life, but I started getting hard right there.His place was a condo down by the beach that he had all to himself. The living room consisted of a giant TV, a giant couch, and a weight set. We both sat on the couch and he packed us a bowl. We watched a laser disc of some kung fu movie I've never seen since, and talked about... I don't even remember. Two bowls go by and every time he gets up and sits back down, he's a little closer. He keeps looking at me. Jordan was excited at the prospects of seeing her mom after almost two weeks. "Brian, I've really liked being here with you but I really, really miss Mom and I can't wait until she's home."I was waiting outside Jordan's school at 3:15 and Jordan was the first one through the door. As she jumped into my truck she yelled "Let's go. I want to see Mom." I smiled and away we went. The reunion was a tearfully happy one. I told Trish and Jordan I'd be there to pick them up at 5:00 to take them out for.
